Got my vinyl today and it's so pretty 

Ultraviolence is much stronger, intense, deeper, versatile, it quivers in fury, sadness, ecstasy, despair, longing and every other emotion from the spectrum. It has spikes, thorns, explosions and fire, but also ocean, blood, tears, honey, and stars. It is built from contradictions and numerous contrasts and layers. And I adore its rawness and shamelesness. An album with heart and soul, but also with balls and guts.
Honeymoon is very lovely, but it is all bathed in the same molasses of restrained, smooth, distant heartbeats, like the echoes of sedated siren.
But who knows, maybe I change my mind, I always need some time to fall in deeper love. With Ultraviolence I had both, bombastic infatuation and everlasting romance.

Swan Song should have been the album closer, so magical and beautiful. You could retire after doing a song like that tbh  

I kind of understand why Lana's music is characterised as 'depressing', but personally I think it's just more thoughtful and meditative and I guess adult than the 'contemporaries' she's (wrongly) lumped with. She's not a pop star, right? Comparing her to Katy or Taylor or whatever seems really redundant. Different universes.
 
She could be a great pop star if her unreleased stuff is anything to go by, but she's pretty much beyond that now. UV and HM are the work of a woman who walks her own path. I don't give a fuck about critics' 'scores' and ascribing some arbitrary number to her albums. Like that's going to change how I feel about the music.

how fitting that they would use an old ass photo to represent this tired ass topic

My favourite thing about being a Lana fan is that she's just fucking effortlessly cool.
 
She doesn't need to make a spectacle of herself on awards shows and talk shows to maintain her career and the media's interest in her.
She doesn't have a godawful cheap-ass perfume, line of clothes, shoes or accessories to extend her 'brand' (ugh).
No terrible, ill-fitting, cringey collaborations with lesser 'singers' to boost her exposure. 
She doesn't smize desperately from every magazine cover and saturate the media with her presence, until everyone's sick of her and willing her to fail.
She's just cool. And seems like a genuinely nice person. And she maintains integrity in the work she does.
 
OT, Honeymoon is perfect. I'm so pleased she has made no attempt to take a more accessible, radio- or chart-friendly approach.
 
I love being a fan.

I don't understand. Songs like Honeymoon, MTWBT, Art Deco, Religion and Freak make you sad?  None of those songs are sad, not even a little.
