  1. Video Games, Yayo (Paradise), Blue Banisters and Nectar of the Gods
  2. People always getting only vinyls and cassettes early... Why couldn't they collect CDs?
  3. I'm gonna sound pretty stupid and ignorant, but what does that title mean? English is not my first language and I'm having such a hard time trying to understand, especially because it doesn't seem to make sense grammatically (at least to my knowledge) Please, help
  4. Sorry for the long rant I'm just tired of seeing the same people using the same excuses to bash Lana and her music. It's okay to dislike something, but if you're not going with an open mind... AFTER her last three albums, then it might be time to accept Lana is not appealing to you anymore
  5. In my opinion, I can see why this album could be 7/10 or 8/10 for some people. Is it because the album is not good? No, it's actually the opposite. The album is great, but it's different. It took elements from her past albums, such as eerie vibes, melancholic and rich production, beautiful vocals and confessional and wordy lyrics. It's the perfect middle ground between raw but polished. Something that, again in my opinion, Blue Banisters failed to. This album is not easily accessible for those who don't go in with an open mind. Those who think know who Lana is, realize they don't actually know after the first few songs. She is not your average manufactured popstar, she's a human being who also happens to be an artist. She's fragile, clumsy, honest... She talks about her personal life in a way she hasn't before. She doesn't need metaphors to hide the truth; this time the truth is just revealed as it is. Her past is dark, her experiences were traumatic, but her future seems to be brighter. Or at least, that's what she hopes for. She's not making music exclusively for the critics, nor for the fans. The music is for herself. It might allow her to heal, to move on from her trauma. Even if you listen to the more upbeat songs, they're not your average "bops", they also hold some truth in them. The album is deep and heavy. Some of the lyrics are hard to analyze without getting a headache. Some are about love or heartbreak, some about family and friends... but they're different. They're about HER experiences in that field, not a song you could easily relate to unlike many others songs about the same topic. That is, of course, unless you've been through similar experiences. It takes more than one listen to fully understand what's going on. Like I said, if you don't go with an open mind, you might not enjoy it. And that's fine. Maybe the album is not for you, maybe the "new Lana" is not for you. I understand we all have different opinions, but to say something is bad when you haven't given it a second chance is... rather disappointing.
  6. When she gets upset at the critics and announces her revenge album Rock Candy Sw—
  7. Lana always posts when I'm either sleeping or about to. I hope nothing interesting happens while I'm gone
  8. Well... at least she picked a calm night to visit us! Imagine she visited us any other day when people were constantly fighting, calling each other flaccid and nazis
  9. What if @ivory almond is actually Lana? All this time with their "fake lyrics" when in reality, they were teasing LDR10...
  10. It doesn't even make sense. Why submit an incomplete piece for review? Like... WHO does that? What's the point? And it's not like they sent the album MONTHS in advance for review, so they either heard a different version or ate mushrooms and had a bad trip while listening. Credits aren't always 100% reliable either. Remember what happened with Blue Banisters? Where Cherry Blossom had guitars and Nectar of the Gods piano...
  11. Just when I thought I was finally free from checking that horrible site for the songs... When is it going to end, dear Lord
  12. NGL, I do hope there are two versions of Candy Necklace because if that one magazine got to hear the scrapped song and it doesn't leak anytime soon...
