This has to be my favorite of the releases so far. I've always enjoyed these kind of jazz-influenced/alt tracks more than her catcher stuff. She really has a knack for creating these sultry/dreamy atmospheres with some of her slower songs. Honeymoon had only a couple of listens from me and I like the High By the Beach music video more than the song itself.
 
I've always been a very melancholic kind of person and I think this is what she is going for on the new album. The mood seems to be more of the focus here rather than lyrics and structure, something that I feel was not concentrated on her other albums. It's what I like to call "solitary music". Music that just fits the contentment of being alone. Music that you want to play when you're at the beach or laying under a tree or riding on the bus through the city. Sometimes it's just nice to take a walk or go somewhere to be alone and....think about things. Maybe that's what she going for. Or maybe not. It works for me that way, at least.
 
Anyway. I think it's pretty clear that she's not reverting back to her Born to Die sound. I feel like there was so much influence from the label during that time than Lana herself. I mean that whole marketing was so overblown and I think she kind of got tired of that, hence her more stripped back appeal now in both image and music. Even the album itself with it's pop appeal was largely because of the label. Paradise showed hints of that departure. Both Ultraviolence and the songs of Honeymoon show that she has more creative leeway than before. She's handling the promotion herself - which she doesn't seem to mind. I think there's less distraction from people who were trying to polish her and she's more comfortable doing what she is doing. And I think regardless of the polarizing reaction to her recent material, she'll still continue doing what SHE wants to do. If she can get through the slew of criticism from journalists than she can get through the criticisms from her fans just fine. 

Can't believe what I'm reading in this thread. Ya'll some tasteless pieces of shit lolz

Am I the only one thinking it's not that bad? I don't understand y'all.

I love this song, almost ashamed to say it. I love that she musically pisses almost everybody off this era. It's actually kind of gorgeous. 

I'm so here for these dreamy slow songs. idgi how people don't like her slow songs.. they're so beautiful

I would say 9/17 in the US once a country has already received it on the proper release date...but someone will get a CD early in a non-American region (probably Japan or Australia if it's a WW release) and we'll have it like 4 days early

The Blackest Day! I'm hoping that is another Black Beauty sadcore smash!

OMG YAAAAASSS!!!!

Then don't.
 

Waiting for the inevitable 'been dropped from the album" update

Watch the first 30 seconds be a HD glossy cinematic gun fight with a helicopter and the rest of the video be her usual grainy montage of clips type video

Lana when ha ass broke is when she pull them HD af cinematographic masterpieces cause she strugglin smh

HEAVEN

Definitely! She reinvents herself with every album she releases. She proved, again, that she's more than a pop sensation, even though I don't categorize her music as pop, and that she's capable of doing timeless music. When will ur fave?

Is this fucking real? I can't anymore. This slayed my entire life. This woman has to be arrested lel.
No, seriously. So proud, and it's simply beautiful. I can imagine myself by the beach, smoking some mary jane and being taken to another sphere. Additionally, I like the lyrics. They sound so bitter.

Is this photoshopped? If not, bye. I can't handle her. Too much happenng lately *cries in Spanish*

I can't stop listening, it's like a curse

I still can't get over the chorus harmonies, them low notes !
