I didn't invent that, the dearly departed, and legendary user, @Valerie was spilling during the pre and post release of NFR. She was right all along.

I co-wrote this.

I think people often forget that this is the unpopular opinion thread and not the "I love everything she does, the next album is always going to be her best" thread. There are pre and post release threads for that. It's kind of the thread you come in with the opinion you think you'd otherwise get tomatoes thrown at you for.

Omg 99centlips stop trying to make "witchy" happens, it's not gonna happen. Sorry to say but the trailer was the peak of the era and it got progressively worse from that point on. Can't wait for COCC to actually be fully country

except @99centlips who just happens to have been born without tastebuds and a set of fully functioning ears.

I–

Don't sweetie me, sweetie.

With peace and love, miss @99centlips you lack taste. Thank you. ❤️

this weirdly uncontroversial album surely is controversial uh

I'm sorry, but how can you say that when we literally only heard two songs off the album. One of which is definitely interesting sonically, but the other feels like something that was meant for the last album??

Sometimes you just gotta appreciate people for being their bold, fearless self.

Lana literally said "NFR is cool what's not to like" or something. Like anyone can draw their own conclusion based off that very short statement. Not discrediting Jack, the guy surely is talented, but music appreciation is subjective, what one likes, someone else might not. Based off the few comments I have read today, pretty much everyone seems to agree that NFR is a great record, perhaps just not the masterpiece some critics (whom hated on Lana ever since she released 'Video Games', but subsequently declared that she was "America's best singer-songwriter overnight)? Or maybe it would be a foregone conclusion to say that some fans and LB users alike might have a different appreciation than you have had, and think some of her earlier records had more depth or seemed more unique or personal than NFR? Just offering a different perspective, because this is after all a discussion board.

maybe she knows what's up

It honestly just reminds me of a softer version of 'Fuck it I luh ya', especially the chorus.

Not in the slightest.

I don't think that was subconscious at all really. I view 'NFR!' as a perfect PR album tbh.

Tbh, I thought your comment about her social life and future artistic endeavours was kinda reductive, but...

Ahhh Les Fleurs du mal

Congratulations for her Golden Globe nomination—for portraying Billie I might add!

Shush.

What else is there to discuss, or bicker about, like Lana has been relatively uncontroversial the past couple days. Like there is not much else to talk about or speculate. Playing acronym games and manifesting singles, videos and release dates ain't that sustainable.

Music appreciation is very subjective, and I get why some people would love 'NFR!', but you definitely echo what I think about his sound/production style. For the life of me I don't think I'll ever be able to fully enjoy that album. I hate the way everything sounds muffled, flat, dry, lack bass, has this tinny audio quality and also how the piano is just very basic. Something about his production feels blank, or just lacks sparks. I hope we hear a departure from that sound on 'COCC', but judging from the two singles, it's more or less the same. 'LYMLYLAW' sounds straight out of 'NFR!' and while the title track has an interesting melodie and good vocals (at least different from the half-spoken tone which she sang most of the last album with), it still sounds, for a lack of a better word, flat. The way everyone was raving about the last part of the song, the instrumental outro, as being amazing... Well, duh. That was the only part of the song that we could actually clearly hear full on instruments and that they didn't sound muffled or flat.

bro what?
