This will surely be moved to the the Random discussion thread (as it should), but I find it interesting how some people equate adding nuance to discussions (and/or letting so called dissident opinions shine through) to being a slippery slope, as if it's letting intolerant/bigoted ideas sprout freely... This is literally the paradox of tolerance. But that's not the time and place for such discussions. Lana's lyrics will do just fine, you'll hear from some Twitter users having issues with it as per usual, but she will be just fine.

Her interview with Billboard pretty much confirmed that for me. She's in her singer-songwriter era, and has been for a moment. I still think that she has it in her to make something interesting sonically as well and we'll get that on the album--but she said it herself, she's not in the mood for bombastic the b-word music.

Yeah the whole thing feels a little non-sensical you're basically getting a box set that holds a piece of clothing and a physical album? I long for the days of the Ultraviolence or Paradise box sets, those were actual box sets.

I was holding on to the hope that there would be more to it, but I fear like it really says it all the the bundles' description.

Her Canadian store never has bundles or the exclusive items and picture discs. Such a fraud.

Yeah so maybe next time I share one of my so-called unpopular opinions the reaction won't be as feral.

I'm glad you agree that people are entitled to feel no connection, or very little connection, to any given Lana album.

Being a vagabond poet from the Valley who yearns for the tourlyfe and misses x, y & z is a hard knock life

No, people are writing essays about what has already leaked

I really do think all her albums explore darkness in their own way.

It's the way people unironically hyperanalyze her lyrics and convince themselves of her so-called problematic ways based off of their own deluded interpretations. I'm unbothered by this chronically online discourse. The song isn't even really out yet.

The chronically online Redditors from the wannabe Gossip Girl subreddit are getting brave huh

Why does every era challenges the last to become the most messy, chaotic and problematic to date. The snowball effect is real.

I think we're nearing breaking point honestly.

The shameless self-promotion is tew much.

The past 24h have been complete and utter hysteria. I don't think I ever felt this burnt out by a pre-release era before.

When we get the vinyl rip featuring surface cracking sounds instead of ROSEMEAD EXCLUSIVE

I will let you know how the appointment goes, Jared.
