Honeymoon - Pre-Release and Discussion Thread
LiamViljoen replied to ilovetati's topic in Retired Pre-Release Threads
Imagery has never been my main concern when considering Lana's music but I pray that damned dress she wore to the Golden Globes is NOT any indication of the style of this era -
There's this one Llama in my local rap circle who I own frequently when we go head to head. Do you own a double sided vibrator?

Honeymoon - Pre-Release and Discussion Thread
LiamViljoen replied to ilovetati's topic in Retired Pre-Release Threads
Do you guys really think there'll be a title track? Honeymoon to me just sounds like a setting for the mood of the album. Then again I thought the same thing when Lana announced UV I like the title tracks from BTD and UV but to me having a title track in each album just seems a bit boring. It just takes away the mystique of the title, at first you wonder why the record is called Honeymoon, is there some kind of running story regarding a relationship? Maybe the whole album will be Lana envisioning the marriage she and Barrie never had? But if there's just a song on the record called Honeymoon, then you almost feel like that's the only reason behind the record's title. It's like with Paradise, since there's no song on the record called paradise, the title feels more like a summary of the album in general (and that record is simply sublime so it's a fitting name) I'm still not half sure what I'm saying but that's always how I've felt about title tracks, in case anyone cares. -
The three bonus tracks should've been ITH, BB and Flipside. Guns and Roses is the worst song on Uv and Florida Kilos just doesn't fit the album at all.

I think it's really exciting how soon Lana has begun this new record, "fickle muse" my ass. It was the same with Paradise after BTD and Paradise is one of Lana's best records. -

Minor General Questions that Don't Deserve Their Own Thread
LiamViljoen replied to Monicker's topic in Lana Thoughts
Yaaaaas but it has 9 altogether (and it would've had ten if she hadn't offered Y&B to Baz Luhrmann) so why didn't they just release it as a seperate record? -
Minor General Questions that Don't Deserve Their Own Thread
LiamViljoen replied to Monicker's topic in Lana Thoughts
Why was Paradise released as an addition to BTD? Why was it marketed as an EP at all? 9 songs is enough for an individual record. Did her label not think it would sell well as a seperate album? -
Honeymoon - Pre-Release and Discussion Thread
LiamViljoen replied to ilovetati's topic in Retired Pre-Release Threads
Ok you're really gonna have to explain that later but I totally agree! Discussing Lana's success is an integril part of fandom, it's not like anytime someone tries to bring up UV's sales in Europe we should just shun them or lash out but I mean I don't see why it's becoming such a big point of disscusion yet, the album hasn't even come out. It's fine to have a balanced dusscussion on Lana's popularity but when a certain member continuously brings it up in such an obnoxious fashion it gets REALLY aggravating. -
Just noticed this was out of turn, wasn't it? Fuck it it's nearly over anyway

Well In my opinion Lana has improved lyrically since BTD. With Uv she managed to dial it down with the repetitive nature of the lyrical content (as an album, I'll admit that she does seem to be taking more to simple choruses, but the themes of the songs are more unique and I enjoy the melodies as much as ever) To be honest, I doubt Honeymoon will be a true return to the BTD sound so many of you are longing for. I guess she probably won't make another album like UV for awhile, it must of been quite exhausting releasing all that angst so I imagine this next record will be more mellow in style, but who would want Lana to do something she's done before? Part of what makes her music so diverse is that she doesn't try to recreate the sound of her last albums, she goes whichever direction she feels on a whim.

"But you are unfixable I can't break through your walls 'Cause you live in Shades Of Cool Your heart is unbreakable" "Well my boyfriend's in a band He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed I got Feathers In My Hair I get down to Beat poetry And my jazz collection's rad I can play most anything I'm a Brooklyn baby I'm a Brooklyn baby" "I can see my sweet boy swaying He's crazy y Cubano como yo my love On the balcony and I'm saying Move baby move baby I'm in love" Oh yeah, and Cruel World "Get my little red party dress on Everybody knows that I'm a mess I'm crazy Get a little bit of Bourbon in ya' Get a little bit suburban then go crazy 'Cause you're young, you're wild, you're free You're dancing circles around me You're fucking crazy You're crazy for me" And say what you want about Black Beauty, Is This Happiness, Old Money, Ultraviolence, Pretty When You Cry etc. but on the whole they're some of Lana's best lyrical work. I'm actually on your side about repetitive choruses, they bug me too, but saying that UV is lyrically reductive is just plain untrue ESPECIALLY in comparison to some songs from BTD.

To be fair MIAM has stated MANY times that on top of their displeasure with UV's chart performance (which, like most of us, I find silly but at the end if the day they just want Lana to get the success she deserves...there would be no harm in stating that opinion if MIAM wasn't so obnoxious about it) they're not the biggest fan of of UV as an album. I find it just as annoying as you guys but in truth we probably should listen to them every now and then, because when they're not babbling about the dissapointing visual imagery and music videos of this era (Shades Of Cool...'nuff said) they bring up good points. Lana DOES have a record label to satisfy, and if she can't provide the label with what they want then they will drop her in an instant (they clearly had their doubts when she was making UV, but UV's sales as a whole were definitely satisfying, so don't let MIAM get into your head, just because she hasn't had a big radio hit this era doesn't signal a "flop") but seriously if you could just tone it down with all that noise about "UV FLOPPED BTD FOREVA" and instead present reasons for your opinions to create a meaningful disscusion as oppossed to forcing your opinion down everyone's throats as though if they don't agree with you they're wrong people would have no reason to criticise you. Hopefully Honeymoon can be an era of peace and prosperity in the quaint little fandom of Lana Del Rey. UV is probably my favourite album of all time but people ruined that era with their fights and childishness, I know it's a lot to ask but could we all just be a little more aware and more respectful of each others' opinions? No one wants to be told they're wrong for liking or disliking music, and we should all be more aware of that...but still if all you want to do is complain it would be easier on everyone if you would just leave. Rant over

@@ilovetati I've had a bad day PLEASE tell me if you got the audio yet. I can't wait any longer -
Haha nice try TROLL she has no song called "Driving In Cars With Boys" on any of her albums idiot! What are you trying to say that she has like hundreds of unreleased songs online that haven't been placed on any of her albums? If that were true then how come no one here has heard about it?
