Poor Stacy

This is beautiful. I agree with a lot of what you wrote - it's deliberately a complicated album, but there's a definite bittersweet resilience to it that I'm really struck by. She's basically saying "This is me, in all of my frustrating messiness and brilliance. Take it or leave it." It's Lana (or Elizabeth) taking inventory of who's still here, 10 years on, revisiting the past, evaluating the present, and making space for the future.

We all know Sputnik Music will be crashing in with their 0/5 review when the MC score starts looking too good. It's dark but just a game.

Woo hoo!!! That's a great review. 4 stars!

but specifically this!! I’m prepping for the album tomorrow by re-listening to all of her work in chronological order and it makes me feel a certain way when I get to Paradise and “Yayo” saying “let me put on a show for you daddy” versus how BB opens????
 
”I guess you can call it text book
I was searching for the father I wanted back”
 
ITS REFLECTIVE AND EVOCATIVE OF HER PREVIOUS BODY OF WORK. I keep finding parallels between the released songs of BB and her previous albums and it’s just so much

I love Blue Banisters even more after seeing the video for it; I keep replaying it. I’m curious about the one with Clay….but this one was like watching a calm before the storm. The shots of the weathervane were gorgeous. Her best video of this era so far. Also adds a nice idea to the visual concept of the album as a whole. 

y’all i am so fucking excited to watch Ajayll react to this album. i hope she cries and freaks tf out as per usual 

Who in this thread said NFR! was bad?

My favorite from this song is
 

One of my favorite lines on the album. It's so simple, but it is so evocative of Lana's essence
