I feel the same way. I was kind of surprised when I saw how many people didn't care for Paradise. Sometimes when listening, I think te production sounds "off" in some places, but I think Paradise is a strong example of how she approaches albums conceptually as a full body of work; not just a collection of songs. That's her strong suit, I think. And I trust that the album will be its own different and interesting entity, regardless of the fact that she somewhat equated it to BtD and Paradise.

Whenever I read  Honeymoon lyrics I think it's a direct continuation of Ultraviolence ( or at least thematically)
 
"We both know the history of violence that surrounds you There are violets in your eyes There are guns that blaze around you There are roses in between my thighs and fire that surrounds you"   Hopefully this is the "end" of her sadomasochist story with "Jim"

I never found any deep coherence in BTD or Paradise tbh.
BTD is a collection of songs about love, relationships. There are some potentially autobiographical songs (Video Games, Carmen, TIWMUG, Radio?), the rest are conceptual songs but they do not have great coherence (as a result I like most of the songs individually but not as much as an album)
Paradise is an Americana homage, a mixture of imagery and is very hard to name very personal songs to her (autobiographical). As in BTD,  it seems that she develops ideas rather than actual experiences or the experiences are deeply entrenched under the tropes she uses (in my view there is nothing wrong with that until the music is good and the lyrics aren't to cliched)
UV seems to me much more personal than the previous releases. I think that CW, SoC, WC are about her complicated relationship with Barrie, BB, MPG, FMWUTT are about her reception and her critics, OM and TOW are evoking situations when she imagines herself looking back on her life and career. UV is a conceptual song in my view (Who the fuck is Jim?) as is SG but regarding the latter I feel that she's evoking something more personal (her sexual insecurities, that she's only good as a mistress). Maybe is just my interpretation but in UV case I could do these interpretations, so I can listen to the album with the feeling that she's deeply involved with the songs. This is the reason why I like UV more than the first two releases 

Paradise is my favorite -- Tropico is my favorite thing of all time... it's actually what got me to listen to Lana

I enjoy listening to UV still, but I feel like I'm one of the only users who love Paradise, I think its a great piece of work. I'm not saying I want her to revert completely back to that sound or BTD, but I definatley don't want her to do another similar album to UV. Obviously I want her to progress with her work but I'm hoping its a progression based on BTD and P rather than UV if that makes sense.

Off topic but this new shirt though <3 im screaming

dude, i just want a fucking album. I don't even care anymore, just let her give us some new music 
 
 
 

Thanks @@VelvetNight!  (How many times have you changed your username now? LOL)  I did manage to get some rest last night.  For the record, smelly-hair guy wasn't the one yelling "Fuck me"; that was the guy on the other side of me.
 
BTW, turns out that my friend had to leave because she had a kidney transplant several years ago and has to take transplant meds every day at 11 PM.  Since she didn't have them with her, nor did she have any water in the pit, she had to leave to go take her meds.  But at least she got to see most of the show.
 
Another thing I forgot to mention:  @ got a shout-out from Courtney Love!  He had hoped to get center pit, but was way off to the left side.  He had a sign meant for Lana that said he was missing his Prom AND his dad's graduation from SDSU to attend the concert.  Apparently, Courtney saw the sign after she tossed a rose out to someone in that direction, and a person right next to him caught it.  She then said something like "Don't be an asshole, give it to the guy who missed his prom and his dad's graduation!"  So way to go, WCL.

All my videos from the Red Rocks date are now up on Youtube if anyone is interested:

I got full vids of Ultraviolence, Shades of Cool, and Off to the Races. 

I want a deluxe edition in a jewel case

I want Vinyl Singles like she did with BTD/Paradise again. I think a digipack would be nice. I want something extravagant for the vinyl, i don't know what but I'm sure she'll think of something. Don't really want Box set of 7" vinyls cause I would have to flip/change the vinyls after every song. Hoping for maybe a tropical scene, a lot like the Blue jeans shoot.

She didn't do FMWUTTT, did she?

That would slay

the melody could fit life is beautiful, i think

leos are gods bye

Wut is it! Im so thirsty

same thoughts here

wouldn't be surprised if its another situation like when byron posted a soundcheck snippet on instagram like two years ago and it turned out she was just improvising 

Am I the only one who just wants 12 original new well written songs with a coherent and unique style like Ultraviolence? I love her unreleased music but I would much rather prefer new music.

"my pussy taste like pepsi cola","my eyes are wide like cherry pies". Cola should be called my body is made out of food   come and eat me literally 
 
need my fat sugar daddy to eat me right
 

"With your big eyes and your big lies" ????? really
 
"Throw me in the sky like a pizza pie" and "favourite sweater" lyric always stressed me out

That would slay so hard

that would be good, promo for her music. but she wont
