i think, visually, it's beautiful (excluding a lot of the gods and monsters part, some of that was a little too much for me). most of it is undeniably very pretty. how great the rest of it is is arguable. i can see how a lot of people wouldn't enjoy it. tropico does not fit everyone's taste -- then again, neither does lana's music. i liked the poetry she recited, although i didn't know the authors and stuff while watching it but i just looked up the poems and i plan on watching tropico again later now that i have more insight. i think it was a beautiful and meaningful film although there are some things i would have done differently, such as some of the g&m scenes and i wish there had been more dialogue. but overall i definitely think lana achieved her goal.

this is the most ridiculous thing and there's a reason nobody else here is on your side.. we all know you don't like tostb for other reasons but that doesn't mean you should twist this around and make it out to be some monstrous thing when it's actually fucking harmless. he's a fan of lana making this for other fans of lana WITHIN THIS COMMUNITY for us to enjoy and it's fucking funny. he's not making her look like shit. he's certainly not bashing her. literally every single person i've ever known in my entire life makes little jokes about their favorite artists (if you really can't understand that somehow then idk what to tell you) but in the end we all fucking love lana with all our hearts and no fanmade comedy album that references her here and there is going to change our love for her OR tostb's love for her. he's making this to share w the fanbase and it's filled with little jokes that we as lana fans would get, and that we as normal people would be able to laugh at. he is in absolutely no way "bashing" her AT ALL and it blows my mind that you really don't have enough common sense to notice the huge difference between playfulness and bashing.

i can understand if the guy is pissed off but a million dollars that's RIDICULOUS 

i'm pissed off the original tickets were 70 dollars and they sold out so quickly and i'm looking for resale and there's over 50 on all these websites and i can't find anything under $300

if you go on ticketmaster and hover over price range for your concert it'll show the estimate based on how much concerts usually cost in your area

Overall rating: ★★★★★

First impression: absolutely flawless 

Impression now: hasn't changed, if anything i like it more

iTunes plays: i'm not even gonna check because i know it's extremely low idk why but i always listen on my phone

Songs I play along with it: does this mean like what songs i think of? i always associate this with blue jeans 

What I like about it: everything i love the lyrics, the beat. you can feel her emotions and it's just perfect i love everything about it 

What I dislike about it: literally nothing

Memories I associate with this song: the first time i heard it. i had just started getting into lana and someone had said something about it and i hadn't heard it so i went on youtube and listened and fell in love 

Colors/images that come to mind: during the chorus i think of reds and during the "because i'm crazy" verses i think of deep blues and purples. it depends on which part of the song. during some parts i picture the actual scene happening.

Favorite lyrics: don't make me choose 

Interpretation: she's in love with a criminal but she can't help it. it's not even a conflict, she wouldn't change it for anything. she's ok with him being the way he is. she even feels it goes both ways -- that she's a mess too but he'll still love her unconditionally. she feels like as long as they have each other they can do anything

 

i love this song sooo much i think it's my favorite on btd but i suck at choosing favorites. this song is flawless and definitely some of her best work

@ I think it's been a week, time for a new song

daddy leaked!!

I'll spoiler this but if you have any interest in how my entire Lana Del Rey unreleased collection (apart from instrumentals and album demos, trust that they're just as cute though) looks, here we are:
 
 
 
 
Ideas for shortening volume 2 are welcome but perhaps futile because we will only get more leaks.

No, I honestly don't think saying Poolside is better than Tropico is necessarily mocking her or trying to be funny. I think it's a perfectly valid opinion that could be sincerely held. I also don't see any contradiction in wanting her to tour more and engaging in honest criticism or evaluating other artists more favorably. For the record, I don't think anything awful is OK to say about her or anyone else (I recently criticized some pretty ugly comments made about Lorde's appearance) although I think there is a place for irreverent humor. However, I don't think anything awful has even been suggested here. Please move away from the mindset where saying anything critical about her is "spiteful". 
Despite my reservations about being voted "Best Stan" by this community, I think I'm gonna start abusing that status by making an appeal to my authority every time a Lana-worshipper criticizes their brethren for being insufficiently devout: "Hey, I can be very critical at times, and look at me, I'm the Best Lana Stan!"

No, not everything that she does is "flawless". But tell me honestly if putting Poolside over Tropico is not mocking her. I like humour and I think it has a place here also. But can't you see the contradictory in wanting her to tour and at the same time ridicule her or putting other artists way above her. I don't want to pick a fight with you and I very much respect the incredible work you have made about her. But please move away from the SNL era when anything awful was ok to say about her. Where I live she has been respected from the start.Remember she's also only a human being, not a robot or mannequin.
