ok i can agree with that. the first of the album feels like it doesn’t even belong with the second half.
i wasn’t trying to attack you i was just being shady luv a fellow zelda fan

re-enabled my finsta just to comment. if she does end up deleting mine i’m seriously unstanning and DLing all her albums into my phone so i don’t give her streams. i’m already close to doing that anyway!

The changes in who she is aren't the problem though. It's the flat-out lies. Someone she worked with aaaaaages ago made a comment on when she started chasing fame as Lizzy Grant, saying she cut her hair and started acting completely different. There's a massive, massive difference between acting out a persona, a la Electra Heart, and insisting on the authenticity of a character created by a bunch of studio execs to sell to an audience. 

This to a t.
 
There's not even anything wrong with being "fake", if you're honest about it. Write 10 albums from the perspective of a fictional character you've created. Do shows, give interviews, shoot music videos, show up at events as that fictional character. That's not a lie, that's a project. That's art. You're not trying to fool anyone, you're putting on a show as an artist. A performer. Authenticity is not required. If it was, fiction would not exist. We'd only have documentaries and (non-fake) reality shows on tv. But we don't. Because most of us enjoy fiction presented as fiction. Literally no one thought Oderus Urungus was an actual ancient Scumdogian barbarian. No one called Dave a poser for using that name and putting on a costume to perform. Art doesn't have to draw from reality at all to be interesting or entertaining. Just own it. Do your thing, put on a show, play dress up, and own it.

Read her interviews, especially ones around the time of the SNL performance when people starting digging into her past and accused her of being inauthentic and the LDR character being a lie. She'd get really defensive, insist she changed her name and ONLY her name, that her songs were about her experiences, that she wasn't playing a character. She lied. She made money from those lies. She built a fanbase around those lies. Excuse me for not liking the fact that I was sold bare-faced lies, especially when this NFR-unreleasing hillsong-attending wannabe-baddie person is who she might really be.

Ben's also been deleting comments about the album since the beginning of the year

welp, lana deleted my comment just like i predicted earlier. it’s over! time 2 unfollow and i guess know that whatever i’m stanning from this point on is a ghost
 
this was my comment btw, i wasn’t even being disrespectful which i guess annoys me the most because now i wish i was. i’m also gonna take this as a sign that NFR’s scrapped.

Idk if I sound like a crackhead here with this wild ass theory but am I the only one who feels like the NFR lead up has been weirdly similar to the AKA one? Aka was recorded in 2008 and she released an ep of 3 songs from it in fall ‘08 and was supposed to release it early ‘09 but it was shelved and she was forced to put everything on hold and just live her life then it was finally released early 2010. Ok so we know nfr was recorded in 2018 and she gave us 2 songs in the fall (and another in Jan) and the album was supposed to be out at “the top of 2019” but we’ve had no news and Lana seems to just be living her life so idk I keep thinking the album will be out Jan 2020 to parallel completely whether deliberately (transitioning back to Lizzy? Leaving her label? Idk) or just a weird coincidence the universe set up or maybe I’m just connecting things that aren’t related lol. I first started thinking that when she was on her old twitter and said something about how over 10 years things have changed but haven’t changed at all. Thought I’d finally share my delusional theory with everyone. And yeah I know it’s all likely bullshit but I’m just having fun while I wait.

Okay the fact that she's deleting comments seems to be very telling about the album. I wouldn't be surprised if she has scrapped it after all this time. @@GeminiLanaFan I know you're gonna pull your hair out at my comment, but something smells fishy here right now, so I can't help but really wonder if this is the case.
 
Maybe not even scrapped it, but she could be re-working some new songs to replace the 'oldies' MAC and VB. I mean c'mon. It would be ridiculous to keep them on NFR even though your entire fanbase has heard them since last year. But I could be wrong too.
 
Who knows what's up. Maybe Lana just wanted everyone to focus on DT, but is instead being bombarded with NFR questions so she got salty and is deleting them out of annoyance. This isn't a drag @ anyone who asked her about NFR, I would have done the same tbh.
 
But yeah...something's up.

And how do we even know she was denied financial support?
 
 
 
 
 
(no, refusing to give her meth money doesn't count)

Who's talking about "more" production? It would be a good start if Hope had any notable production in the first place.

Yeah, so so glad she managed to find homophobic saddies for friends    she really hasn't done anything destructive since being friends with them. Like holding off on an album for so long critics are getting bored, or driving in a car while filming and posting it to ig. So glad she dropped her last round of 'homeless drug addicts or schizos' (classy) for those angels.
 
It's the fact she dropped the poverty-porn persona the second she realised singing about diamonds and rich daddies would get her further than pretending to be a 'trailer park queen' but alright, pretend like people are being irrational. u do u. 

goodbye norman fucking rockwell

she is pressed.. :lmao:

She’s literally said the album’s finished twice. Her managers have basically said it'll be out whenever she feels like putting it out. It appears she’s just sitting on an album that’s been finished for going on five to six months now. The only one who knows what the hold up is is probably Lana herself

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion yada yada yada, but... calling Born To Die... BAD?  

me logging in day after day

Surprisingly, yes I do think there's a chance. Shocking, especially coming from me, I know, but I think it's far more likely to happen than an NFR-related video.

I OnLy LiStEn tO rEaL mUsIc

i need to stop talking about lust for life ahahaha
 
but for the sake of 'discussion'...
what i was trying to say is that to me the first half of the album feels very messy, and imo from gba down it feels the most coherent (and i also just adore folk lana)
i know y'all dont like god bless america.. but the bridge and the way it blends into the chorus is heavenly
bpbp, tnc, and change are all beautiful
and then you've got heroin and get free, those don't need any explanation
 
i do want to apologise for what i said about in my feelings though, i'm sorry about that

the no taste jumped out
