Honeymoon is so cinematic and beautifully crafted it still hits me by surprise sometimes actually

It’s so horrific, when those Christmas bells came in I had to laugh, I honestly cannot begin to imagine how someone who’s worked in the industry for that long and with that experience could allow for something so incredibly crappy to be put out on a record like ugh

It's such a beautiful track I love the mix of actual beautifully produced trap beats and classical/jazzy instrumentals!

art deco is criminally underrated, my username speaks for itself

lfl stans never fail to crack me up, keep going 

I don't think that was anything wrong with the production or mixing per se, it's just that it was overwhelmingly trap beats-ish and the lyrics sounded like she tried too hard. More often than not it sounded really bad and cringey.

it's still cheap ass beats 

I can't help it, sorry Ma

It's definitely in the same vein though, badly produced trap beats and bad mixing

I feel like this version HTD belongs sonically in Lust for Life somehow

LfL was badly-produced, tho; every track had the same glassy fake digital ProTools sound to it, except for the one produced by Sean Lennon

Agree, I feel like it sounded kinda cheap. Especially after listening to a perfect album such as Honeymoon where everything was well balanced and beautifully intricate. Lust for Life fell pretty flat imho. Def not a worthy runner up and/or follow up

also listening to instrumentals such as cherry, there's really no substance to them, like they lack the sophistication of all her other instrumentals

Syphilis in my teeth
From your kiss
You're touching me
 

didn't know there were that many good songs on L*st for Life, I usually skip them all until I FIIINALLYYYYYYreach Get Free.

Maybe it's a bit soon to make assumptions but
 

Oh wow
 

I do agree with you that it is a step in the right direction after LFL, and most artists do have slumps, so I consider it normal to say the least. But I don't think there is anything particularly new happening sonically in a majority of the songs and certainly not a lot of vocal variation going on either which, yes, can make Lana's songs pretty dull without the bridges.
