i believe the only official colored records we had were the translucent red for HM and the coke bottle for L4L.
She released coloured vinyl (as well as standard black) for Ultraviolence, Honeymoon, and Lust for Life. She also released a blue vinyl Born to Die for Record Store Day a couple years ago (2017 I think?). Paradise is the only album she officially issued on vinyl that hasn’t also been officially issued as a coloured vinyl. So there’s precedent for her to release a coloured vinyl of NFR, and for her not to. But she’s released more than 2 officially on coloured vinyl.

her cheeks look pretty normal to me im just wondering about her eyes... they look HUGE. probs just makeup
It’s just the shadows caused by her lashes. Zoom in.
-
The way the sun hits her does cause her lashes to cast shadows and she’s got some fly-away hairs in front of her too. Tbh that’s the only thing that seems to make her face any different here. Angles and lighting can sometimes change how people perceive your face.

LP120 is the version of it with the better tone arm but I think it's like twice the price
And it’s worth doubling the price if it means getting to actually enjoy your records. But that’s why I tried to find the cheapest one with a good arm. If you don’t mind your records skipping lots and getting damaged though, one of those suitcase style ones are cheaper than any of these. You get what you pay for.
-
Audio Technica LP60 are also pretty good and only $100
It has a terrible tone arm. It’s not adjustable and and is too heavy. Not only will it damage your records, but most records will skip constantly too. Almost everything is unplayable (including UV deluxe vinyl). I used to have one of these. Don’t waste your money on a turntable with an arm like that (unless you’re a billionaire, then who cares), it’ll cost way more in the long run.

$379...
edit: lol wait theres one for 169 okay maybe i will purchase
Just make sure you buy compatible speakers. Maybe you already have some, which would be nice for you. The one I linked was only a little pricier because it had the speakers come with it in a bundle.
-
i hope the vinyl is everest green (li never talked about vinyl cover yet i have a right to)
if it is i might go out and buy another record player. i owned 2 and they both broke so i kinda said fuck it and didnt want to waste money on another. can someone link me to a good quality one that isnt super expensive

This is the most reasonably priced turntable I can find that isn’t complete garbage. It’s a bundle with the speakers, so they’ll be compatible and more affordable than buying separately. Just stay away from anything with “built in” speakers or an arm you can’t adjust if you want it to work properly for more than a month (if even that). But you might as well treat yourself before NFR comes out because it’ll probably sound phenomenal on vinyl.

If NFR hasn’t leaked yet, not even a single song, I doubt it will. Especially with the snippets, people have been begging for specific songs, yet still no leaks. Lana’s finally succeeded in protecting her album. Maybe that’s one of the reasons she doesn’t feel pressured to release it before she’s ready. It’s probably refreshing.
-
Oof, I don't know, I think 10 minutes is perfect. Or maybe I've just played it so many times that I know it too well and got used to it.
I got too used to Venice Bitch too, and now it seems too short. Like I’ll be swaying to it, really feeling it, then it just ends. I just really like vibing to long ass songs.
-
Lana should make an extended mix of Venice Bitch for the album. Double the length and give it a whole side on the vinyl. That would literally be a dream come true. I know it won’t happen, but it would be amazing. Just imagine the trance it would put you in.

Tbh The Jungle Line was initially my least favourite song and it was the drums that distracted me most. Over time I started to like it though because sonically it started reminding me of Friends by Led Zeppelin. And I grew to like all the lyrics referencing Henri Rousseau and the jungle metaphors kind of like his paintings.Usually I like ballad-type songs more as well.
For me, I don’t love The Jungle Line because the drums feel looped and repetitive, whereas the rest of the album has so much instrumental variety.
Also, In France They Kiss on Main Street was initially one of my favourites because I liked the 50s rock style and theme of it, but the more I listened to the album and the other songs grew on me, I guess it sank down the list.
-
I’m curious what puts The Jungle Line and In France... at the bottom of your list
It’s really just that the other songs are just so good and something has to be at the bottom. It was so hard because I didn’t really feel anything belonged at the bottom of the list. I truly love every song on this album. I’m probably just more attached to the slower sadder songs for some reason.
-
Here’s my Hissing of Summer Lawns ranking:
Harry’s House/Centrepiece
Don’t Interrupt the Sorrow
The Hissing of Summer Lawns
Shades of Scarlet Conquering
The Boho Dance
Sweet Bird
Edith and the Kingpin
The Jungle Line
On France They Kiss on Main Street
Shadows and Light
Since it’s my favourite album, it was surprisingly hard for me to rank them too. When starting my list, I was also only really sure of my top three songs. I’m actually listening to it now to help me.
-
-
I like this idea! Which album next?
My next choice would be Summer Lawns, but Blue or Ladies of the Canyon are obvious choices. Whichever is easiest to do next I guess.

You keep replying, I keep answering.
i mean why the fuck else would you be constantly going after people? just to feel superior?
Because you guys keep replying and it’s funny now lmao
-
Babe stop playing victim. Go back to your husband and cats so we can actually talk about NFR
Girl if you want me to play victim, just say so. How do I do that again?
“Oh poor me Lana del Rey won’t give me attention”
Am I doing it right?
-
your arguments are really impressive, I bet a lot of people are changing their minds
Wait I was supposed to be changing your minds? No one gave me the memo that I was supposed to be a fucking missionary here. Let’s start over, someone hand me a bible or whatever so I can play the role you assigned me.
-
It’s kinda cute when you guys get so pressed that you miss the point. It’s kinda predictable now. At least your meltdowns are entertaining though. Have fun being bitter and angry about everything. I bet that’s great for your mental health.

Huh, didn’t know that. Weird too because I live in Canada and bought it at record store day off a shelf of RSD exclusives. They probably didn’t know where else to put it.
