Saying "it's about Lana" may be a little critical as well because it could appear like she would self-crit. I guesss it's like you said. A big FUCK YOU. Maybe there is even another singer she's talking to but I don't think it's the main goal to diss this person.

I know he's called Burns. But I've made the experience that people don't get who you are referring to if you don't mention Bowie, so I just restrained to calling him like that. And besides, for having 43 posts you're atcing "shady" and "bitter" quite often.

And still, not everything with recurring themes and a recurring, coherent sound is a concept album. It's usual for artists to have matching and coherent visuals for their albums. And MOSt albums have some kind of ongoing theme which is more or less present. Putting the stamp "concept album" on everything is much more insulting to all the artists who did concept albums so far.

Trouble sounds cool if you put it in front of "I Walk The Line". Empty Gold could fit into the first part of the album, definitly NOT after Colors. Is There Somewhere would sound ok in the second part of the album, maybe after Coming Down .

I just wait for Disconnect ;(

It annoys me so much so many people think that she means to say that her "opponent" fucked her way up to the top. It's obvious that she tongue-in-cheek uses something people have claimed she herself did in order to attack her, which makes it obvious she doesn#'t care and that THIS IS HER SHOW, even IF she would have archieved it this way. By ironically accepting the accusation, she takes the power away from it.

This definition sucks. Ever yalbum which is not a collection of songs that have been mindlessly thrown together would be a concept album in this case. Having a recurring lyrical theme/coherent sound is not unusual for an album. Too many different things on one album cna easily kill it. The same with visual style. COncept Albums are albums that ACTUALLY have the aiim to tell a story (Cry Baby, Defamation Of Strickland banks, Electr Heart). By this definition The Family Jewels would be a concept album because of it's coherent "edgy" sound and lyrics about success/failure and feeling unfit.

To be fair, Cry Baby is somehow really a good concept album. And even though I'm not here for the Halsey hate, calling Badlands a concept album is stupid. I think HM might be influenced by the idea of "watching" people and invading their private space (HBTB video, the HM lyrics about escaping, Music To Watch Boys To, the promo pics where Lana always seems to either observe or even get ready to be observed herself), as well as less "autobiographical" stuff (meaning, not just love songs), like TLY which I personally think is about "losing" someone to a mental illness, with the motive being influenced by Terry Bowie. But even if that may be a strong topic, it doesn't neccecarily mean it will be a concept album. Cry Baby is a concept album. Electra Heart is a concept album. The Defamation Of Strickland Banks is a concept album. But the oeruse of the term makes ACTUAL concept albums seem less special.

I think he's more referincing to people forcefully referring to every damn album which has some kind of recurring theme as a concept album.

These are more overal topics and lyrical themes, I think actually talking about concept albums would go too far. Especially BtD ... "Lolita" is a very vague concept, it's mostly a collection of songs about love, bad boys and sadness. I can somehow see Paradise being a collection of things that she likes, compared with a feeling of loneliness but i also think "concept" is unrealistic. The only album where i could see having a concept and somehow also having a "story" is UV

Don't ya forget Electra Heart.

Fun fact: The Higsons had an album which included both a track "Music To Watch Girls By" (a cover of the original song) aswell as "Music To Watch Boys by".

Even though I'm not a big fan of Martinez as an artist, I really like Cry Baby. It has a great production and I love this "Alice in Wonderland"esque "childish motives meet adult/teenager problems" atmosphere.

My ranking so far Control Hurricane Castle Strange Love New Americana Ghost I Walk The Line These songs are my favourite ones and the most outstanding ones in my opinion. Gasoline Coming Down Haunting Drive Hold Me Down These songs are pretty good but all of them have their highs and lows. Colors Young God Roman Holiday These are the songs I like the least. All 3 of them are nice but I think they are very forgetable.

nah. if there was a deluxe edition, why wouldn't she haave it up for preorder?

Religion or The Blackest Day. Religion, if it's not some dark song ala G&M or a song that just uses religion in a way NA uses patriotism. If it's actually a spiritual song, I'm out. The Blackest Day sounds like if it's not some kind of semi-alternative-electro-pop-muddy-trap song it's gonna be a corny mess.

I bet 24 is an Adele-diss-track

I think the verses of both Hm and TLY sound off. It's not really bad but I think she sings way too low and kind of drags the notes

This is whining on a very high level BUT I don't like her low registers as much as on her older material (VG, BD, BV). Lines like "We both know, the history of violence surrounding you" or "You are what you are, I won't change you" sound off. Her "mid" register sounds great though, like "... will never grow old" ,"or whatever you want to do" or "I'll let you be bad" are all such good vocals.

I hate how people relate every sad love song she does to Barrie. I doubt any track apart from Black Beauty, Flipside and is This Happiness was fully about him. Good chances he also was an ifnluence for Cruel World and Shades Of Cool (even though he doesn't fit the bad boy archetype at all) but I guess that's it.

I want her to grow her hair again. the miley Cyrus haristyle looks stupid.

That would be so cringeworthy

These are the pink flamingo lyrics, I remember someone posted them from a better pic of the booklet/a post card "Pink flamingos always fascinate me. I know what only the girls know"

It's a song about AHS: FS because she liked/hated their cover of G&M She said it's a sexy song so the freak might be one of her bad boys. Or it contains the corny "freak in the bedroom" line

I guess "random music stores" would have already announced exclusive titles. I guess we just won't have any Deluxe titles this time.
