Honeymoon - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll
Thunder Revenant replied to annedauphine's topic in Post-Release Threads
The album's actually very diversive. It has a coherent style, but each track is very unique on it's own. Honeymoon, with it's creeping violins and the minimalistic instrumental with main focus on her vocals. Terrenc eLoves You is slow and jazzy, Music TO Watch Boys to is laid back and tropical, god KnowsI Tried has a western-esque feeling mixed with slight gospel vibes. High By The Beach is a beachy-muddy-trap song, Freak is sexy and mysterious. Art Deco is a song like it could play in a lounge of any artsy, upper-class-hipsters club while Salvatore evokes Little Italy feelings and 24 shapes it's simple, cute melody up to a Bond-song worthy chorus. The Blackest Day is a very emotional song, while Religion is a more "classic Lana song" and Swan Song is a dark, moanful outro. The Other Woman has these syntheziser instrumental going on. -

Still can't figure out if Art Deco is supposed to be something positive. The Art Deco style ontains very stylized motives and most things are without debth" or shadow. Apart from this, the overall emphasis on "decorative" stuff ... I don't know, if you project these traits on a person, it sounds like it would be someone very shallow, someone who looks great but lacks character behind his beauty. This would kind of fit the unsure downtown party queen person Lana seems to watch/talk to. but knowing Lana, she could have just searched for an artsy, retro word and it#s meaning this person has a somehow classy aura, evoking Great Gatsby vibes.

Music to Watch Boys To: Official Music Video
Thunder Revenant replied to Subversive's topic in New Releases
I could imagine the underwater parts aren#t actually in the video. Like, she used this footage for the sampler and she really loves it, so while she couldn't use it for UV, she at least uploaded it to promote MTWBT/Freak. But judging from the concept book and the BTS pics, I guess we'll get kitschy-colorful-tropical scenes with Lana observing the male models. -

Thunder Revenant replied to annedauphine's topic in Post-Release Threads
Born To Die had Nancy Sinatra x Lolita vocals, dramatic orchestra x hip hop beats, samples and e-drums, romance x tragedy ... all of these combinations made it very diversive and iconic. Paradise had this power of evoking many emotions with each of it songs, it sounded like desire, loneliness, fragility and happiness ... Ultraviolence is almost concept album-esque, with all it's dark yet summery vibes. It has a very raw and emotional sound and the lo-fi-rock was something different. I really like the album with it's minimalistic yet very effective instrumentals, the use of more "uncommon" instruments and the laid-back atmosphere. It's coherent, yet each song is very unique. I like every song (GKIT and TLY may be weaker songs, but I still really like them) but ... somehow the album's missing something to be her "greatest album so far" or my favourite one. It#s great to have Hobeymoon and I appreciate it a lot, but somehow it feels "least special" for me so far. -
What's Your Favourite/Least Favourite HM song?
Thunder Revenant replied to renaissance's topic in Lana Thoughts
That's extremely hard to say. My least favourite one is God Knows I Tried. The gospel-esque thing is nicely executed and her vocals are quite nice aswell, so is the production and instrumental. The verses and bridge are very good too. But the chorus is killing it for me. Like, too repetitive, too long and I just don#t like spiritual topics. Can't figure out which one's my favourite so far. -

OTTR and Salvatore ... MAYBE. But very vaguely. I don't really get why people feel the need to relate those two though. But Carmen? It has a lot of strings but .. yeah. -
Honeymoon - Pre-Release and Discussion Thread
Thunder Revenant replied to ilovetati's topic in Retired Pre-Release Threads
It's super awkward and so try-hard-deep and poetic ... It's really bad and PRETENTIOUS even for a music video. Those monologues are as bad as stripping and shakingones ass. She can do better things without trying to be super-poetic. Especially when the rest of the video is her f+cking ugly guys. -

Thunder Revenant replied to ilovetati's topic in Retired Pre-Release Threads
The MV is disgusting though. Those monologues are super awkward and pretentious and all those ugly daddys and her basically just f*cking around and waving guns and american flags ... annoying. Tropico is interesting, however I cringed so hard when so many fans took it as a serious "experience". -

Honeymoon - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll
Thunder Revenant replied to annedauphine's topic in Post-Release Threads
The album is really good. T think when she said it was closer to Paradise, she meant the more orchestral instrumentations and the overall "mood". However, Honeymoon is less dramatic and the songs are a little bit more "laid back". Vocally, it's closer to Ultraviolence, however it sounds much more .. mature. I love how SOME songs sound a bit more B-side-y, in terms that you wouldn't expect them to end up on an album like this, without further (over-)production. The lyrics are ok, I love how some of them finally aren't as submissive anymore (at least not all the time). Plus even though it's a very coherent album, every song really archieves it's very own vibe. Salvatore really has this Little Italy feeling, Music To Watch Boys To is a lounge-esque, tropical song which really makes it easy to envision her watching some guys. Swan Song also fits it's name a lot, judging her vocals and the vibe, sounding wistful, dark but yet beautiful. Freak is mysterious and sexy while Art Deco could play in one of these artsy scene clubs. 24 builds up from an almost jazz-y melody to a Bond song worthy chorus with those beautiful castanets and God Knows I Tried mixes the aspects of Western songs with Gospel influences. The first part of the album really feels like a very hot afternoon, crickets chirping, everything's a bit inactive because it's so hot etc. Then comes the "muddy-trap"part and after this the tracks shape up to be more cinematic. Honeymoon is a great album, I wouldn't go as far as saying it's her best one, but it definitly is a quality recording. -
"Salvatore" Premiere + BBC Radio 1 Interview
Thunder Revenant replied to Sitar's topic in New Interviews
I wonder which songsshe will perform ... I guess Honeymoon or Terrence Loves You could be likely, I really hope for The Blackest Day, 24 oor Religion. -

Thunder Revenant replied to ilovetati's topic in Retired Pre-Release Threads
So we have the FULL album in HQ now? Even Salvatore (not as a Radio rip, with the full intro)? Can someone PM it to me? -
I really feel similar. It's maybe not a least favourite but.. I expected so much more and now it's not really doing much for me compared to the other songs. ___________________ Even though I like DLMBM as a cover (although I still feel like It's her weakest officially released cover), I think Swan Song would have been an excellent album closer.

It's still better than what we had so far. It's not like swallowing the whole production and instrumental.
