West Coast

Surprise, surprise. I have honestly not been into a Lana album from start to finish after Honeymoon. Not to say that I don't like songs on both Lust for Life and NFR!, but there are just elements on both albums that make me not enjoy them to the fullest. Mainly the lyricism and trap beats on LFL and the horrendous production/mastering on NFR!.

How about these young kids get educated by their parents and not Lana Del Rey?
 
I mean I was 17 years old when I first started listening to Lana and I'm now 24, granted I'm not a woman, but still I knew they were just that lyrics? Lana's way of expressing her thoughts, recall events or tell her fantasies? Might as well make it sound romantic and beautiful, yet tragic? 

That's some great wishful thinking!
 
I agree the album as a much more organic sound than its predecessor, but this is not the type of sound that I like personally speaking. I don't actually think that the album as that top notch quality like you said, it for sure sounds more "natural" or organic like we both said, but as it turns out it sounds quite flat to my taste. There's a lack in depth I think. It just sounds flat to me, it lacks bass or percussions, also the vocal tracks on a lot of songs suffer from that too. The vocals on most track feel like they were poorly recorded and it does sound to me like they were compressed as well (cue to Lana's high note when she sings the "you" in the second pre-verse of the title track, as matter of fact the whole track was poorly recorded).
 
To me Honeymoon has a better sound, I've listened to all her albums on FLAC, CDs, Streaming and Vinyl, and Honeymoon has just the best sound out of all her albums, it sounds clear, it's balanced and extremely lush (maybe to the exception of High By The Beach and Freak), but as for the rest, it's crystal clear. I just don't hear that on NFR, but to each their own I suppose.

But that's the thing though... I felt like the musical outros on NFR! were kinda weak. Like in The greatest, it was weak to me, just lonesome piano notes? On Venice Bitch the musical interlude/outro makes up for more than half of the song, and it felt unnecessary long to me almost corny. I know this is an unpopular opinion, I know a lot of fans now revere VB has one of her best track, but to me it's a cute song, but just because it's 10 minutes long, doesn't make me think it's revolutionary for Lana as the instrumentation is very random in it. Also, Cinnamon Girl, that outro was very anticlimatic to me, same for How to disappear (but that goes for the entire song too).
 
I would definitely love her to get more bridges on WHF in lieu of these musical outros, but to each their own I guess.

True. But at the same time the vast majority of songs on Honeymoon had bridges and it remains her most complete album too. Lyrically, or from a a song construction perspective, I find that there's something missing on a lot of tracks on NFR! (aside from the production/mastering). For instance, to me, California ends too abruptly, or like Hope is just very repetitive and drags on for way too long. The Next Best American Record, imho, despite not being as good as the demo version, is probably the most complete song lyrically on this record, and you know why? *Bridge* 
 
She and Jack definitely traded bridges for long musical outros on this record, I felt as though it was completely unnecessary at times, felt like kind of a drag to me personally.
 
For White Hot Forever (LDR6, LP6 (?)), I hope she has a completely different approach to making music than what she had on NFR!.

that's unlikely for White Hot Forever/LDR7, but that would actually be amazing I think!
 
Fun fact Lana actually worked with Giorgio Moroder, apparently she left him hang in there and never got back in the studio with him

I have no idea what happened during Summertime but security got two young ladies out of the crowd. It was not a pass out situation. A fight? The lady next to me in the balcony and I could not figure out what happened. Minor drama...
 
She did sing a song with Haley. I don’t know her so not sure of the name. No MAC again...
 
But... I had a most special time tonight. I had a reserved first row seat in the balcony. And the venue was mostly GA. So even tho it was slightly larger capacity wise than my very first Lana show at the Ryman in Nashville in 2014 this seemed like a much more intimate venue. And smaller than the NYC Terminal 5 shows. I’m not arguing with anyone tonight about her setlist choices. I feel truly lucky to have been there tonight. This is why I see her so much! You kind of never know when one show will feel more special than others. On either side of me were young ladies seeing her for the first time. The one girl cried during mostly the whole show. We sang our hearts out together!
 
The Terminal 5 shows have long held a special place in my heart as far as Lana shows goes. And now I will add the Madison Wisconsin show to this list. I am very glad I added this show to my Lana itinerary.

that's unlikely for White Hot Forever/LDR7, but that would actually be amazing I think!

ughhh her mind

would it even be an ldr era without a failed music video promise though? Dark paradise, cola, pretty when you cry, honeymoon (sort of), and cherry say hi!

Honeymoon (the album) has hit 500,000,000 streams on Spotify!

there's a whole thread just for that  , but apparently it was canceled.

At least shes consistent with her lies.

This is why you can't get your hopes up when it comes to Lana. 

add it to the lies thread sweeties

I've said this heaps of times, but I think she does. Or else someone else reads it and tells her what we're saying.
 
There are far too many coincidences.
I know for a fact at least one of her managers reads here, and so does the cop, apparently.

I honestly listen to just a handful of unreleased songs.

Every time I see one of Neil's posts on my insta feed I get so sad thinking about what we could have had if she was still working with him

1.Honeymoon
2.Ultraviolence
3.Lust For Life
4.Born To Die
5.Paradise
6.NFR

sometimes i miss her vocals from BTD and Paradise 

I remember that gum story but I forgot that was you Elle! I wouldn’t feel bad.

I remember seeing a lot of tweets and tumblr posts back in 2014... this particular show was batshit, almost discouraged me from attending my first show a month or so later. Let's say that the crowd was pretty tamed at my show comparatively, still witnessed people being pushy (and the other two shows as well) but it's not that bad when you're leaning onto the front row fence, still annoying being pushed, but yeah. Lana shows are quite something, I don't even know if I want to be front row again. 

Oh my god, that was my first Lana show and it was so, so wild... the people in the crowd were like wild animals lol. The crowd was like an ocean, it was constantly moving. At no point during the show were both of my feet on the ground & standing up straight. I'd be leaning to a side, one foot on the ground, or even at some points I'd have no feet on the ground and I'd just be hoisted up by the sea of gays lol. I remember before the show started, the whole crowd fell to the left, fell to the right, fell back, and then fell forward and the barricade tumbled. Everyone lost their balance at once and tried to correct it which only made it worse lol. & I'll never forget how funny yet tragic it was when these two guys near me got into a first fight, one socked the other in the nose which caused it to bleed, and they both had to be carried out of the crowd.. the funniest part though was Lana was singing Young & Beautiful when it was happening. The juxtaposition of Lana singing this beautifully sweet love song while these guys were punching each other was just hilarious to me. That crowd also evoked a monster in me as I did the worst thing I've ever done to another human that night - towards the end of the show there was this one guy who was putting his hands above his head, leaning over, and "drilling" his way through the crowd. I saw him approaching me and I was like not today sis so I put my gum in his hair... still feel terrible about it to this day, but it's what he deserved lol. So every Lana show since has seemed "tame" to me (even though I've had lots of wild Lana experiences) x
