Whispers are the new whistle notes.

She should've been in the top 10. That list is a mess.

Ben is a hottie, he lowkey has a similar smile to that House of the Dragon actor--the one with the very distressing smile :3

Done and done already.

People expressing subjective thoughts complaining about other people expressing their subjective thoughts... it's almost like it's a forum.

It's the natural pre-release cycle.

I still stand by what I said, I think it's in the same vein. Agree to disagree, you can interpret the lyrics as you wish and give meaning to a song, lyric, idea. To me both lyrics convey a similar energy and "shock" factor.

Is it really a reach to say that both line explore a very similar theme/idea??? Bffr Chill.

I don't think it's unfair to make such a statement to be frank. There are a lot of similarities between the new title track and songs like LMLYLAW and/or IYLDWM, also she re-used/re-purposed or extrapolated the opening line to NFR. It's not to say that the song is bad, I actually really enjoy the production and I think the third act/last part or outro is fantastic. But the resemblance with her three albums is definitely there if you listen closely. It sounds like a mix between a Jack song and a Blue Banisters song.

I think as Lana stans we are spoiled brats. We get to bicker about what album we like best in her relatively short career. We can chose, debate, fight between 7 released albums plus one more on the way, an EP, two unreleased records and 200+ unreleased songs; meanwhile other stans sometimes wait 5+ years in between album cycles/eras.

Yeah it's all just opinions. LanaBoards posts, blog entries, album/song reviews in so-called prestigious media outlets, baldheaded pseudo self-proclaimed music connaiseur and edgelord extraordinaire, etc; it's all the same really.

You will notice that these arguments often happen during droughts. It's rocket science.

It's just funny to me how some yall want her to grow as an artist, or make people accept the fact that she's growing as an artist when someone mentions preferring an earlier album to a new one--telling these fans to go cry about it, to shut up about their complaints or wear a diaper (?), but surely the irony of Lana stalling and making more or less the same wordy, at times unmelodic and understated tunes since NFR isn't lost on you, because that is real growth right? I'm sure this album will feature career highlights, and as much as I enjoy this new song, none of yall can convince me that the new song isn't a carbon copy of what we've heard on the past three albums, instrumentally, melodically and lyrically with a slightly upgraded production.

No

When she released Honeymoon, but she sure hasn't released anything remotely close to those two albums since. We know.

I'm confused as to why some people want Lana to put this song on album when we already have 1728383 different versions of that very song.

Despite what insiders will say, you best believe that the minute Lana stans hear electric guitar in a new song they'll be like "OMG ULTRAVIOLENCE 2.0!!!1!"... it doesn't work exactly like that unfortunately. That album happened in a very specific place and time, like the energy and vibe was quite unique, I don't think she will or wants to reciprocate that. Unlike the last three albums and new single, which all exude a similar vibe.

Being "Snow On The Beach'd" is the music equivalent of "where you silent or where you silenced?".

The way you just described NFR

1. Born To Die 2. Honeymoon 3. Ultraviolence 4. NFR 5. Chemtrails 6. Blue Banisters 7. Ocean Blvd. 8. Lust for Life

I like the song, but

It's fair to say that Canada in general fucked us

The last part kinda makes the song imho, it's a stellar third act/ending. It really is IYLDWM's younger sister.

Much to ponder about, studio/label antics...
