I co-signed this.

To me, her point is pretty clear: when female artists sing about their sexuality in a way that's deemed positive or empowering, critics love it. But the moment Lana tries to weave a narrative where she makes mistakes sexually/romantically, and surrenders power to a man (who perhaps doesn't treat her well), she's crucified for it.
 
She wants everyone to be able to sing about their experiences without being told they're "glamorizing abuse." That's all she's saying. It's not an artist's job to be an example.

Not all of Chuck's work is bad. Remember HBTB, anyone?


 
This being said – Lana clearly has little to no taste when it comes to outfits, styling and overall visual aspects, so her coming up with a bad concept and Chuck just doing what she is told because they're sisters and whatnot might not exactly be ideal.
 
Personally, I'd be here for a return of Nicole Godland. She's still the photographer who gave us the undeniably most iconic and recognisable pictures of Lana, and if she feels the sudden urge to be glamorous again, it'd be a perfect fit.

I wish for the exact opposite. I want Lana with a huge bouffant wearing one of those fancy caftan you wear at fancy dinner parties exuding 60s realness and feeling every bit of the glamorous woman she knows she is! Also Neil Krug has to capture the whole thing! No more beige/DIY/amateur visuals, thank u!

Wow what an amazing title! Can't wait.

YES YES YES. I’m literally THIS close to starting a change.org petition to have Neil Krug shoot the visuals for this album. Chuck NEEDS to go! The only person who can do justice to Lana’s vision is Neil.

you know we're gonna get an iphone selfie anyway

oh this album title calls for THESE visuals

Chemtrails Over The Country Club is such a good name I love it, much better than White Hot Forever which I thought was a little corny  
Can't wait to see what she's bringing with this one 

also - NO FEATURES OR COLLABS

As a soft/delicate woman I always felt glad someone like Lana made it big. What she says is so relatable. It always seemed like there is only space for loud or outspoken people. If you aren't like that, you are perceived as weak and, especially as a woman, it is your duty to show that you are "strong" and impose yourself. This reminds me of what Susan Cain said in her TED Talk titled "The power of introverts".

I have so much respect for this woman

This is the first era that I experience from the beginning on Lanaboards and it's so exciting and love to check this thread every ten minutes and read all your thoughts, feelings, amazing ideas for cover art, and so on. The last days were a drama and gave me actually a headache  but this thread and the fact that we are in a pre-release era again puts me in a better mood :'))

But for real, I'm by no means a sound engineer. I think I'm just an audiophile.
 
But, to me there's something kinda flat or muffled, and quite frankly, iffy about the overall sound quality of this album, like the record quality or mastering process gave this album this kind of flat/dry type of sound? I don't mean to beat a dead horse as I've made my point on several occasions in the pre and post release threads and even in the White Hot Forever/LDR7 thread, but I'm just not a fan of this type of sound. It's just kind of muffled and for a lack of a better word "cheap". I also think that for the most part the album cruelly lacks bass or beat to complement or create depth in sound, I don't know. It's very "off the shelf" there's not the same attention to detail sonically speaking. By all means, it's an alright album, but there's something just so beige, basic and/or simple about it, especially the production. Sorry, not sorry.
 
I feel like with her past records, especially the first three, there was a sense of intensity and grandeur in the sound? 'Born To Die' and 'Paradise' had that crisp/clear type of sound on each tracks, some say it's overproduced, and I could agree to that to a certain extent, but it just sounded like a really slick and clean pop record.
 
'Ultraviolence' was very atmospheric, I am a fan of the raw type of sound, I feel like the instrumentation on the album is intricate, intense and superb. I love that, and this is according to both Dan and Lana, the songs were recorded with a live band. Someone said in the LDR7 thread recently that it's once-in-a-lifetime record and I very much agree with that.
 
'Honeymoon' has got to be her most lush album as far as production goes. There's something just really beautiful and balanced, yet again intricate, about the way the album sounds, it's like the perfect mix of a classical/movie score type of sound and modern trap beats? It's just very beautiful, lush, elegant and cinematic.
 
I won't really get into how I feel about 'Lust for Life' as I think that the album is just kind of all over the place artistically speaking, but for the most part even the songs I don't like I think as far as audio goes, they sound good. But I was not a fan of how the trap beats were just overused here, kinda cheapened the whole experience. There are highs and lows on the album, but the songs I really like on there, they sound great.
 
So yeah, and this is very personal, I'm just not a fan of the so called 'NFR' sound.

"God bless and FUCK OFF if you don't like the posts", though

I personally felt it was the best bit
