If you guys hate her so called shallow, ignorant or alleged inherent racist ways that much, why are you still claiming that fan title? Granted she runs her mouth a bunch and says and does questionable and tone deaf stuff a lot (especially lately), but like berating a grown ass woman on a discussion board literally dedicated to her under the guise of "trying to educate her" on important issues all the while living in your own bubble of contradictions yourself, is quite frankly laughable. On se regarde avant de juger, s'il vous plait. Merci.

I'd never let that many people come over at my place, much less if I were a celebrity with fame hungry "friends"

I'm sooo ready for Lana to hit us all with that chaotic/vengeful energy on 'Brooklyn Baby part. deux (the remix)' on COCC. To hell with these hiveminded and drama savvy journalists/music critics anyway.

Also about 'Born To Die', the only thing that didn't age well about 'Born To Die' are some of its lyrics. The production is alright. Emile Haynie and the others did great on here. The goosebumps I still get when I put 'Radio' on prove that to me.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but if, and I really mean if, Lana actually has an actual concept for this album. In my opinion, 'Chemtrails Over The Country Club' is a brilliant album title. But going by statistics, besides the title track this album is probably going to be pretty random and inconsistent in terms of concept.

I feel like Lana puts a great deal of thoughts into her album covers, but they never stroke me as being conceptual, or like related to the concept of the album. More often than not, it's just a pretty picture imho. Edit: There might've been a concept with 'NFR' though, but the actual cover ended up being too crowded and mismatched.

I never really understood that critique tbh? Like granted it's a slick pop record and maybe there are certain moments the production is a tad overpowering. But like all this criticism about the album came after Lana released her other albums (especially 'Ultraviolence' which was just drastically different sonically speaking). It's all in hindsight. 'Born To Die' is iconic. Period.

I'd say it was actually worth seeing her perform until 2015, she kinda hit her peak during the Endless Summer tour. After that it's been hit or miss with her shows, but mostly miss starting 2018 imho.

For real the past two tours, but especially the ironically eponymously named tour have been a hot mess. I haven't seen her live in a hot minute, but I honestly don't know if I'd be willing to pay and then fight for a spot in the barricade for her to put zero efforts into her shows.

All of these are true, but the last one irritates me the most. It's obvious sometimes she's not in the mood and she's just not super energetic on stage (granted she's not usually the most energetic performer) and it comes across as lazy. It's just awkward to watch her perform, especially at a festival when not everyone is a fan of hers to begin with. Like Lanz you can do better.

From my end the album was not mainstream at all, just basic in its construction/execution. It was alright, just not as uniquely "Lana Del Rey" like her first three records. On the other hand, 'Lust for Life' was, for the most part, pretty mainstream sonically.

Bummer

Honestly always been wondering that too.

Given that both Charlie and Chuck don't seem to acknowledge her either (and that Chuck def seems to be cool with Lanz calling Candace her mom), I'd say that Patty has probably done some questionable/shitty things to all the Grant kids at this particular point.

This thread even existing... oof. Highly speculative here:

There are gems on Lust For Life, can't blame Rick (or Kieron) for going along with Lanz when she wanted the record to sound a certain way (in that case fill 75% of the album with cheap/tacky trap beats). We can legit say the same with Jack about the subpar production/mastering on NFR. Can't wait to hear what typa "yes man" moves the latter pulled on COCC.

Utopian society teas

Isn't that the chick with the creepy, uncomfortable and obviously forced low/deep/manly voice?

Goodbye, Patty It's been nice Hope you find your Paradise

Miss Del Rey back at it again with posting in bulk and shading Ms. Patty

this is the cutest thing omg

Who doesn't like beating a dead horse?

I've campaigned for this all throughout the LDR7/White Forever pre-release thread and no one seemed to care. But I honestly think that if Lana were to work with both Kevin and Rick Nowels I think I'd die. Something halfway between 'Ultraviolence', 'Honeymoon' and 'Lonerism' (with a touch of 'Currents') would slap so hard.

It looks comic book-ish and very "pop art" it's honestly a mystery to me why they settled on that? But then again the whole concept of the album cover was mismatched and messy. I can't wait to see what she's gonna pull on COCC as far as visual presentation goes...

That font was hideous, she should stick to the bold and neutral font of her first three records, looks much cleaner and it fits pretty much everything imho.
