Thunder Revenant

Even though I agree that Lana is nowhere near an "Indie artist" status and I always facepalm when fans are talking about her being "jazz-like" (because doing some non-completely-pop-things borrowed from jazz music won't make you become a jazz singer), I also don't think she'll ever be a big popstar in the common sense (aka Terrible Swift, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears etc) and I agree that she should focus on putting out high quality music. She will NEVER be a big promoter, especially now that she found some kind of "excuse" for not promoting by uploading some boring videos to instagram. I also don't really know if I want a pure pop album from her and if a Born To Die 2.0. would work out at this point. Her performances are nice but not spectacular and I guess they only fascinate people who are already liking her music (and are capable of blending out hundreds of teen girls and gay men annoyingly singing along). So yeah, I can not see Lana being a pop star in the traditional way. She was too controversial in order to get the status of a "not as mainstream quality singer", like Adele, whose records are hyped without her having to put up with any effort anymore. So yeah, I think Lana should put effort in creating a good album, because in the end her music will matter the most for her career, as she's not really doing anything else with it. Since BtD we never got any exciting single treatment anymore so the initial record has to be great. HM sucked because even each song had a high quality, it seems like she didn't bother to do but one same sound (and tempo) for the same record. Both UV and BtD were exciting and, even though cohesive, diversive in terms of sound. She has to return to this album quality, no matter if she does it in a more pop-ish or more alternative way, the important thing is that she's DOING it. Oh, and I think she could have chances to become a fashion icon again, now that her looks keep improving more and more. However, this means she has to do much more (fashion) covershoots and care more for her outfits constantly.

SHe looks fierce. Love her hair and maekup, reminds me a lot of the BtD video

Lol, I'm not buzzed about a cringeworthy video with a level of tumblr-pretentiousness Lana puts out as if it would be something big and I am the one needing antidepressants? Not rly

I don't try to find a meaning and I know it's just "bonus" ... I just think it has the charme of a tumblr teenager posting about reading "deep, philosophical books" while listening to some "indie alternative musec"!

The clip is extremely cringeworthy and uncomfortable to watch tbh. Lana wearing that terrible fringe, acting all hipsteresque and doing extremely awkward moves to some music while demonstratively showing the book into the camera. The caption is even more pretentious, like wohooo you were reading ... nice thing but where is the point if it did not influence you or anything?

"Plot" ... "necessary" Don't get my wrong, I like Tropico aswell, but I can't understand why people often actually take it so serious.

Don't like her look at all :/ The hairstyle is terrible imo

Talking about taking an artist too serious ...

"Let the lights shine iiiiiin it's a cruel cruel wooooorld" *enters stage while the Cola string intro is playing* "Money is the anthem of success, so before we go out, what's your address?" *descends into the crowd while the National Anthem instrumental plays*

I hope we get some HQ streams. APart from that, I don't really care for her touring unless she suprises us all with an interesting playlist.

Paradise was much more exciting and satisfying

Multiple options here a) she did two songs for a soundtrack, this could mean we only get snippets and nothing's released officially b) she's really recording a new album, which means it could last a while until we actually get to hear something since chances are high it will be reworked or scrapped c) she's releasing an EP, which would REALLY be good news, because thatwould mean it could come out soon I really hope she went more rock-ish, like she hinted it during the BBC interview or she really did some more upbeat "NY songs"

How does an album have ... "earth"? Like ok, AKA sounds very organic andParadise & Honeymoon ... I can see the "air-y" thing about it. Ultraviolence also has an organic sound and I see how one could connect water/fire with it .... But you are overdoing it a bit in my opinion, like just because she MENTIONS an elemnt, this does not automatically give the album an "elemental feeling". Especially with Born To Die, which is not "organic" at all and the mentioning of fire is a quote.

written and recorded 4 upbeat pop-ish songs, 3 rock-ish songs and a cover of Do Right but became unsatisfied with them really quickly and scrapped them and also blew up Rick's PC so noone could ever leak them. now she's writing slow "inner monologue" tracks which she will record with Dan Heath.

As long as she manages to make the next album exciting again, I don't care how she does it. Both BTD and UV felt special, had their highlights, a wonderful style etc etc HM is nice but so f*cking unspectacular, especially since the tempo is dragging on after like Religion.

I'd LOVE to see Lana starring in a Christie adaptation x) Maybe even in the role of Arlena Marshall

She looks like the dead body in Agatha Christie's "The Evil Under The Sun" here ...

I also love Paradise, it's my second fav after UV. And yeah, I remember when I got my driving liscence, I almost always listened to it while driving. Cola, Burning Desire and Ride are great driving tracks. Yeah, I also think TOW is a highlight in her discography and BV is just the pure retro-magic

Just read it again and ... ew. That's nowhere near "deep" or "art", it's pretentious tumblr-sh*t. The Flip-Side photoshoot looks meh anyway, so I hope it won't be released

Don't let Lana hear that ....

He is definitly WAY too obsessed

Billie Holiday - Lover Man This could be an extremely sexy or an extremely sad variation of the song. Garbage - Bad Boyfriend Just look at the lyrics ... if Lana goes way more upbeat, it would fit her https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=79aSUUnU8zg Other Gatbage songs Lana could do would be Milk, You Look So Fine, The Trick Is To Keep Breathing, Nobody Loves You, It's All Over But The Crying or Sugar which ate just perfectly woeful https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y14Kp1DitpE https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXe9OhTU-Gk https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-kvXfNoTjsY https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9gOyXhFDlOM https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GwKtszQ8Ejo https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cvNXyhUEzuw or, if she would want to show she doesn't care about the critocs saying she's just writing tryhard sad-songs, she could do Only Happy When It Rains, maybe in a half-sad-half-rock-ish version like Garbage Lso performed it live https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=owJtc4DNcA4

Wait for her to suprise cancel all the festivals XD

Does anyone have the pics with Van Teese?
