West Coast

damn fucking right, Jack is a shit producer, I guess he's good for the basic pop girlies, but Lana ain't about that. She sounded lost in her own laziness on NFR, it's such an average, generic and beige album it's painful (and the production/mastering is complete and utter shit). No wonder why so many people and critics alike like it so damn much, it's her most basic effort thus far.

I legit just received my Switch Lite, Link's Awakening and Animal Crossing in the mail today. I won't see the light of day for quite some time now.

because it's an overlong track that doesn't do much to a lot of people, it's legit getting praised for being "advanced" lyrically, but the truth is it's just a repetitive 6 minutes long song with Lana using a bunch of random "refined" words, should've been relegated to B-Sides/unreleased in my honest opinion.

Ride sweetie, I'm so sorry

I put that in the same category as other NFR lyrics. "I was reading Slim Aarons and I got to think that I thoughhht", "We go fast, we go so fast, we don't move" and the forever cringy "Singing for my babies on the tourlyfe" I really don't understand how people revere NFR as the more mature album lyrics wise, it's so cheesy and corny at times. Bleh.

someone lied to her several times

Lana has been settling for generic the past two years, this handbound "poetry" book turned spoken words album is just the latest nonsensical thing we can add to the list. I cannot with this woman sometimes.

@@RormanNockwell see, this is exactly what I was telling you yesterday

and it's getting tiresome *ba dum tss*

Disagree, while I like and appreciate 'Venice Bitch' to me it's just a cute and relaxing song. The long and hazy instrumental outro/interlude it just beefs up what is a pretty simple/"weak" song to start with. On the other hand, 'Off To The Races' is a pop masterpiece, I live for the way Lana performed the song in 2015-16! Also, 'West Coast' has got to be one of the most unique, seductive, mesmerizing and intoxicating song in Lana's repertoire (and also of the most interesting song I have ever heard, I'm still shook and it's been almost seven years). 'West Coast' is that song (and to a certain extent 'Ultraviolence' is that album). I don't know the type of sound she plans on going for the next record, but if it's anything like what she's done on 'NFR!', I mean the very simplistic/bland approach, I do not expect Lana to outdo what she's already done on her first three records in terms of sonic complexity.

Dan Auerbach! Dan Auerbach! Dan Auerbach!

Tomorrow is April 1st

'Venice Bitch' would've legit been the perfect album closer, the long hazy musical outro and the album finishing with "If you weren't mine, I'd be jealous of your love" fading away. But, several choices were made on this album.

It's ok, we all make mistakes. You are just securing a fourth Worst Taste award I guess. All jokes aside, I actually like a very few select songs to a certain extent on the album. But as a whole, the album doesn't strike me as being cohesive sonically, it's too all over the place and unequal for me and it's nowhere near the level of excellence of both 'Ultraviolence' and 'Honeymoon', it's my second to last favourite album of hers (even 'Lust for Life' had qualities I must say). However, I will never get onboard with Jack's style of production on this album. Knowing she's still working with him (or actually never really stopped working with him would be more accurate) is definitely a let down. Musically, Jack didn't bring anything remotely interesting or refreshing for the so called Lana sound. 'NFR!', to me and to a lot of fans I've been in contact with on here and beyond the realm of LanaBoards, it remains a poorly produced and mastered folky/pseudo-alternative/prog-rock overrated album. I'm a hardcore Lana stan, unlike other fans who went from stan to fan to less than a fan over this album. I revere the direction and risks she took on her first three records, but on 'NFR!' Lana settled in her lazy ways and served us a very lackluster/lukewarm meal. Jack being the yes man he is just went along to get along I supposed (I'm still haunted by the sneak peak of him talking about the disappointing production of the album and frantically bopping his head to the cheap drums in 'The greatest' or whatever (?)). So I actually have little to no expectations for 'White Hot Forever'/LDR7 really. I'm open to anything really, but the only things I would actually want to hear on this upcoming opus are less corny/"eDgY" lyrics and overall better production. But I feel like with Jack being apart of this project and "2020 Lana" being a thing, that seems like a lot, if not too much to ask. Glad it grew on you though sis.

That ain't happening with Jackoff onboard. Dan Auerbach needs to make his glorious come back, but at this point it seems farfetched. I guess we'll have to suffer through yet another haflbaked/bland album. In the mean time everyone enjoy this timeless masterpiece, most impressive, intense, mesmerizing and dare I say most inventive song in her discography.

Honestly the piano might sound like complete and utter shit and the muffled quality of the vocals might not be it for me, but besides the "Goddamn man-child, you fucked me so good that I almost said I love you" cringy lyrics, this might be my favourite song off the album.

I know, tasteless all around

I was about to run my mouth, but I've been told they are circulating.

The Empire Strikes Back

Never thought I would thank you for something, but the day has come. Thank you for this, SYTH. Any chance the instrumental to 'Body Language' has leaked as well? Unpopular opinion: Miami is the best song on 'Isolation'.

@@RormanNockwell is a psychic: confirmed. The devil works hard, but honey, Rorman works harder and that's the tea.

We just need Dan Auerbach to return and push Lana to her artistic high once again and it's all good.

I've been listening to a lot of 80s music recently, I'm stuck with this one.

I thought I'd refrain from commenting these threads. But let's say that the person that sent this to me and didn't want me to share is a bonafide like they legit told me after I leaked their shitty snippet "we could've been friends, but you chose to be a bitch" like I'd want to be friends with someone that hoards on leaks and begs people for insta followerss in order to share what they've got. I'm so over the leakers/hoarders culture at this particular point. For what it's worth, it ain't never gonna change.

All the good shit happened in the pre-release thread, drama of the century if you ask me. This boring ass post-release thread was basically fueled with me going on tangents ad nauseam and fighting the good fight about how interminably boring, cheap, lackluster and amateur through and through this whole era is, and also @@Jared (bless his poor soul) coming in to chime in about "cRiTiCal AcClAiM!!1!" and nothing else. If Lana doesn't care about this era and does the absolute bare minimum, then neither should we at this particular point.
