this. imagine less coherent than Lust for life and more messy than Norman fucking rockwell

THIS. She has legit been holding this for close to nine years. I wonder how many whiny LB user would've cracked under the pressure if they had been in the same position as she has. Her comments were even more tone deaf than the post itself and I wish she didn't say anything more, but she's hurt and her pain is valid as fuck.

yes

HM absolutely.... LFL never

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.

Imagine being involved with Lena Dunham. 

He really did say exactly that. What an idiot. 
 
Bernie Sanders is the leader the US of A really deserved.

Here we go again...

I actually feel the opposite, I feel like we'll have more grand and 60s type of instrumentation. I don't know, maybe I'm reading too much into this but she's been posting a couple things that harkens back to that time period lately.

I hope this album will have a bigger sound, less quiet than NFR & Honeymoon

I personally disagree with the first part of your statement, especially about the other artists also putting out new music.
 
But I definitely share similar thoughts in regards to Jack being involved with the new record. But I'm positive, maybe the beige vibe of 'NFR!' was just a little hiccup. I'm hopeful they got something greater to show us on the new record. *fingers crossed*

Here we go again...

In hindsight, it was foreshadowing Lana being a bit reckless.
 
If he can't handle it, then maybe Lana should work with someone that's able to understand and redirect that angst to get her creative juice flowing and push her to creative highs. This is where Dan Auerbach could make a glorious comeback.  
 
Also, welcome back!
