Literally all you have been doing is spreading false rumors, just a week ago you posted:
"If the sun was God, I'd be covered in faith
If the ocean was the devil, I'd be covered in hate
I'm so west coast it's a goddamn shame"
And then you posted the fake screenshot of the new single being titled "Dear Alex", please just stop
Funny how the single is called West Coast and the first sign of promo is on the East Coast, lol.
I think Chuck's photography is okay. It goes with Lana, but she needs to not let Naomi Shon design anymore shit for her. She can take OK pics, but please don't do more than that.
How to Break the Cycle of Ultraviolence in 3 Easy Steps:
Stop engaging in wishful thinking about release dates. Stop getting upset when invented dates inevitably fail to pan out. Get a life.
Despite my sarcastic rant, I'm withholding final judgement until I see it, but even if it is significantly different than the "Blue Jeans" video, just the mere fact that she's splashing around in the water with Swallow again is exceedingly repetitive and self-derivative. I also just don't understand why she would continue to work with that clown.
Wait, so her concept for this video is splashing in the water with Bradley Soileau? Why not shoot those scenes in black and white too? Shit, why not go all the way and have some exotic predator animals? Maybe even throw in a palatial estate and a bloody, fiery car accident scene to boot. For her next video she should think even further outside the box. Like portraying herself in a relationship with a world leader re-imagined as being of a different race. Or in a homosocial relationship with someone suicidal. Perhaps a massively expensive self-indulgent tryptich that even her biggest fans barely watch more than once. Or maybe just a low-budget DIY video of duck-faced selfies. You know, something completely original.
Recycling her lyrics is one thing, but... if there was ever a time to use that horrible language-butchering millenial expression "I can't with it" it would be now, but I just can't with it.
Stay tuned for my next hit thread, "Is Ultraviolence just a big rip-off of BTD-era Lana Del Rey?"
That was the Washington mudslide that took place in a rural area. The L.A. quake was unrelated to it and just rattled some things a bit; one car got knocked over by a loose rock.
Rufus Wainwright is talented but so high on himself lol. I had a friend in Toronto who lived in the same building as him and his husband (before they had their kid with Leonard Cohen's daughter..) and they're SO NICE socially!!
Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk is one of my favourite songs of his, but his cover of Hallelujah is good too (i'm sure a lot of ppl have heard that without knowing the artist). I'm sure some of Lana's interest in him is his connections to Cohen and the fact that he's basically ~folk royalty~ .
well, obviously she can keep everything about this album a secret so far, at least most of it.
no, that itunes thing is not lana. she could not pull this off.
as i posted earlier. this whole waiting for something is pretty pathetic now. i am sure there is a time to tell everything about the record when it's time to talk about it, we as the fans are annyoing with our whining for information, but her shows are in three weeks and if may (not even the first but may in general) is really the release month, there is no need to keep everything a secret at this point.
giving us the cover and the tracklist is the least. it's not that the album leaked. this whole teasing is just pointless.
Yes Lana, we get it's beautiful and dark. We have already heard that before from you. And Rob should be held away from his Twatter and while we are at it, his 15 year old fangirls, too.
Um, there's been essentially fuck all for information so far, so unless anyone here is involved in the production or works for the label, nobody really knows shit about how the album will sound, what songs will be on it, which producers were involved to what extent, the recording process, it's production, marketing, or the label's expectations, so don't act like you know.
74 pages of speculation and people getting pissy and arguing their speculation is fact based on such scant information.
Oh no! We have another asshat member who thinks they know better than the thousand of us already here! I have a name for this phenomena. It's called the 'Basic Bitch' syndrome:
Your condescending, egotistical tone is not appreciated on this forum. It makes you look like an ill mannered, un-educated idiot. Did somebody shit in your chest cavity today? Were you recently part of a human centipede or do you actually talk shit all the time? Do you talk this way to your friends (but of course, I doubt you have any by the way you present yourself).
You can act as high and mighty all you want but it's not gonna make the people around you love you any more than they already hate you (including everybody on this forum). I have some news to break to you buddy, you are not smart and you are most certainly not polite. You think you're the shit but in reality, you are not. You are a rude pretentious asshole arguing on a forum. I'm comfortable telling you this, not only because I started this topic 3 months and 73 pages ago, but because statistically I am better than you and I am putting you in your place. Here's some visual proof.
Everybody fucking knows that Lana did not record an album in one day. She started working way before Tropico was announced. That's why we know about Trans Am. Black Beauty is from early 2013 so she has obviously been working on Ultraviolence for over a year and we all fucking know it. We don't need your simple minded ass telling us shit we already know!
"And you think an artist as big as Lana is going to make an entire album of her and ONE producer." Of course not, you fucking dimwitted shit brained idiot! We already know the confirmed producers. I've listed them in the OP. I've even talked to Dan Heath myself. You're not dropping any groundbreaking news here bud. All artists work differently. Lana worked solely with David Kahne for AKA and she can do it again if she damn well chooses, but we know that's not the case.
"When I say record, I don't mean just RECORD vocals." Well surprisingly, you will discover that the world does not revolve around you and that the word 'record' has many several meanings. Many people can interpret this as many different things. "I mean the songwriting, production, etc." Oh, so then you didn't mean 'recording' then? Make up your mind . There are many stages to creating an album and to call it all 'recording' would be misuse of that verb wouldn't it? When someone is 'recording' an album, they are most likely talking about vocals, my friend.
"Record in a day. Record what? fart sounds?" I don't think you understand the concept of time. Let's use mathematics! An album is 45 minutes long and there are 24 hours in a day. How many times does 0.75 divide into 24? Of course you don't know because you were obviously educated in a barn, as I am guessing by your lack of manners. An artist, realistically can record an album in one day if they wanted to. We are not saying that Lana did, we are just talking about the concept of 'recording an album in a day' in general. When I told you that Paradise was recorded in one take, you replied: 'I can't even comprehend your post!" Well that's not surprising, but I will extend my knowledge to the mentally deficient.
Time-wise, Lana's vocals theoretically could have all been recorded on the same day (wow, that's crazy!) She entered the studio, sang all of her songs over some demo instrumentals and left the building! This theoretically could have happened! "Are you implying when Lana "Record" an album she simply goes in the studio and sing/record vocals and that's it." Well sir, if you managed to read my comment, I said: "if the producers made the instrumentals beforehand, an album can easily be made in a couple of days." Here, I was talking about an album in general and not Paradise.
Lana does not need to stand behind Dan Heath with a whip shouting at him while he produces the strings to Bel Air now does she? She can easily drop in and out of recording sessions. She recorded Young & Beautiful when Baz Luhrmann was in a different country to her! Wow, technology! Paradise is pretty short. Even if each song took a whole day, it still could (hint: could) have been completed in one and a half weeks! (Crazy! I know you don't understand the concept of time so I will stop talking about this in fear of overloading your brain.)
"I know that Paradise vocals were recorded in one take because you can hear the differences in verse 1 and verse 2." I would rather pour gasoline all over myself and jump through a flaming hoop than read one of your sloppy replies. Of course there are differences in verse 1 and verse 2. That's because they are verses. Verses in songs are usually the same melodically but with different lyrics! If you listen closely, you might be able to hear that they are different! Otherwise, in the case that you meant 'chorus', I have to let you know that recording a chorus twice will only literally extend recording time by 30 seconds every time it's sang. 30 seconds does not make much of a difference on the overall recording time.
"I mean i'm not an artist." I am glad that you are self aware. Children are not usually aware of their own bodies until around 9 months. I'm happy that you have grown to understand what you are and what you are not. Here's something else in which you are not: an expert. Nobody is of course insinuating she scrapped everything and started work with Dan Auerbach in the past few days. Nobody is that fucking crazy to believe that (though, you are pretty fucking crazy for believing that we believe it.) Like I said before, we know long she worked on it. Over a year. Why would she announce the album in December at the Tropico premiere if she started working on it in mid-February with Dan Auerbach? Take a chill pill and don't taking everything so literally. Auerbach most likely placed the finishing touches on each song of the album (which is why she's comfortable presenting it as his as well as hers, since he probably tinkered with the songs last.) This was just a way to announce that a new producer was being introduced to Lana's fold.
"I need a break and stop coming here for a while again because I can't take it." I think you do too! Maybe one of our admins can help you take an extra extra long break! Why not go for a permanent break under the banhammer? I'm sure one of our admins will kindly offer it to you. "Look at me I'm recording my voice using my iPhone. I just made my very own album." Are you insinuating that Sirens is a bad album? This is exactly what Lana did in her early career (well maybe not an iPhone). Studio quality isn't everything. I wouldn't care if Lana recorded Ultraviolence using her asshole, it'll still be a work of art and your condescending high-tech talk is killing my brain cells. What's wrong with using an iPhone? If Lana didn't have her iPhone we wouldn't have that beautiful video for Summer Wine you ungrateful piece of filth.
Lola: "Why are you getting so riled up, Ultra-Violence? You have no idea how Lana has worked on past albums or on this one so calm down and stop acting like you know everything." Lola knows all. You should listen to Lola. Statistically she is also better than you in every single possible way so don't you even dare sass her or else I'm sure she will have no hesitation in smacking you up. You need to listen to her. Take some Ambien and calm the fuck down.
Have you released an album on a major record label? No. I'm not Lola and I definitely have no hesitation in telling you to shut the fuck up. You know the same amount as anybody on the internet. I.E you are not a special snowflake in any way so quit acting like one. You talk more shit than an Azealia Banks in one of her rap songs and you're just generally just exhausting to listen to. We're exhausted feeling sorry for you so you can do yourself a favour and stop talking before I ram you off your high horse into a pile of shit that you spilled from your own mouth. The prestigious ChairCola award for most time-wasting and tiring posts goes to you my friend. Goodbye.
I'm so pressed they're not on the same day at the same time so you'd have to face your own version of my NIN/The Killers/Lana Del Rey Lollapalooza dilemma.
