Thunder Revenant

She has songs called "I Can Fly", "Fucked My Way Up To The Top" and "Diet Mountain Dew". Two of her best songs are called "Blue Jeans" and "Video Games". People want ongs to be released because they are called "Fine China", "Trans Am" or "Roses". So why the hell would you judge songs by their names?

Everyone being so afraid of Life Is Beautiful. You all haven't even heard it in full. Apart from this, it could be the Old Mones or Bel Air of Honeymoon.

So, this means we'll have As Far As i COuld Get in a HQ version soon?

Uuuugh, I hate this ... like, if she told you not to conform the sing to the public, keep EVERYTHING to yourself. but no, these twattir-girls need to show off and tease everybody. Swan song could be a reat name for an outro though.

So, the record is like I expected it to be. It's a lot better than Ceremonials in general, even though most of the songs don't really match the standard of Lungs. "Queen Of Peace" is gorgeous and "Ship To Wreck" and "What Kind Of Men" are beautiful songs with the ~Florence essence . "Long & Lost" and "Various Saints & Storms" are nice ballads which are not as overdone as the Ceremonials ones and "Make Up Your Mind" is a solid bonus track which could have easily replaced "Caught", a song which doesn't really have anything going on, on the standard version. Talking about bonus songs, "As Far As I Could Get" also sounds neat and I would have loved it to be a bonus track on the CD/download edition ... but maybe we'll get a decent rip soon. "How Big How Blue How Beautiful" is a worthy title track. "St. Jude", "Mother", "Hiding" and "Delliah" are nice songs, but unless they grow on me in the future I wouldn't consider them as very outstanding ones. "Third Eye" and "Which Witch", however, are both not really my cup of tea They feature this same awkward-personal-overdramatic feeling which made me dislike Ceremonials. They are so overdone and I think some smart instrumentallisation (the Third Eye demo's one is pretty neat) and a little less choir-esque vocals would have been better.

It's a SPECULATION thread ... people who are whining about how messy it is all the time are the worst ones.

Which songs? Any exclusive ones apart from As Far As I Could Get?

Oh no, I hope this doesn#t mean we get BtD 2-0. Emile has PROVED that he is only capable of ONE sound with his own record and his production for The Neighborhood. I really LOVE Born To Die, but nah, I don't want a second record full of MJ-samples, string walls and Loons. And Dan Heath .. not really pleasuring aswell. He's not a bad producer, but having him on moret han one song could get veeery boooring really quick. I hope Ronson had a big impact on the record and thet Lana knew what she wanted. I'd also love to see Rick Nowels and Blake Stranathan Songs again ....

I heard a studio version of HBHBHB was broadcasted somewhere ... is there a rip of it?

How is performing in front of a few cameras "whoting out"?

I don't care on how she does in the charts and of course I don't expect ANYTHING from her after the let-down of UV, but I don't understand why some people here act as if they appreaciate her lazyness and as if this would show how she's a more serious artist.

Kill Kill is a gorgeous track, but somehow it doesn't feel like it's a special opener. It's one of many tracks on AKA which is placed as the first one. Maybe it's the best option on AKA, but .. yeah, for me it doesn't have any big opener qualities. Ride with it's breeze-opening and the build-up during the song is a good opener but Cruel World has the strongest opener.qualities, since it's mainly a vibe ...a vibe that goes on for 6 minutes, without anything new happening. But yeah, it sets the dark, guitar heavy and somehow coastal vibe for Ultraviolence. However, the best one in my opinion is Born To Die. It's the Lana-Del-Rey-Anthem, it's dramatic, it has this big string-opening and the dark-lyrics. The topic and the composition of the song are giving an idea of what the album will sound and feel like, but still the song is outstanding and unique on the record.

Well, if you are all fine with the situation we had with Ultraviolence because it makes you feel indy or like you would listen to "more serious music", you can have your way. I'd prefer HQ performances on the radio and TV and some musicvideos with high quality (and I'm not talking about big budget, but about videos which aren't superlazy wannabe-deep videos like the Ultraviolence one)

Yeah, I really really really hope the intro will be an indicator for the sound of the new record

A performance is a performance. of course she doesn't need to wear a BUY MY ALBUM shirt but I think the thing she pulled of with UV was disrespectful towards the fans.

Because an album is so much more fun when there are no music videos or performances on TV/Radio. I'll never get people like you. Promo isn't just something you do for sales, it's also something which delivers a lot of cool stuff to your fanbase.

As much as I doubt leaked tracks on HM ... I think SK has a fairly realistic chance to become a bonus track on a deluxe/ Itunes/Target whatever exclusive version. While she dropped YCBTB and UATW from the setlist, she kept it and it seems to be a biiiig fan favourite. Could be a smart move ...

Just becasue she's done it once, doesn't mean she'll always do it (and I don't really see the UV songs fitting into a "movie") It would just consume time and postpone the release date of Honeymoon.

The Lana concert i went to was pretty cool, however it was quite at the start of the Paradise tour and at a quite small venue, so I don't know how many crazy scremo-fans she had back then. People sang along and some screamed but it was appropriate for a concert and not annoying. Noone drowned her out or acted too crazy, even though all the people startet to run like a herd of cows when the doors were opened. However, I imagine Lana-concerts now similar to the Marina concert I went to recently and this was terrible .... people which weren't singing but SCREAMING along, so you could barely hear her at some times ... Oh and prepare to not-see-anything because people are more worried about getting pics/videos on their Iphones/Ipads/Selfiesticks than actually enjoying the concert.

all this hate for Money Power Glory ...

I hope y'all are right and she's telling the truth this one time. But I don't believe it until we have the official release date.

Very much this.

Taste is taste. I think the album version is cheesy and boring

Don't be offended hun :3 I don't think we'll have two covers, even though I'd LOVE to have Do Right as a studio version ... .. and still she plays these songs live. Doesn't mean we'll get them, but it makes it more likely. Nah, it leaked a few days before the official release As long as we only have her words, there is no reason to trust her. Remember Tropico and Ultraviolence. She never announced dates that turned out to be real and she changes her mind so often. She might just cancel videos or do whatever. Not like it would be the first time. SHe decided to cancel the whole UV era after releasing the album, so there is really 0 reason to actually BELIEVE that we'll get some nice promo and stuff. Hope, yes, but it's naive to acutually believe anything until officially confirmed. I really hope we'll get something official soon (a single ), so we'll have something to hold on. Before anything like this happens, we shouldn't get too many hopes up. "you probably wouldnt know the magic of poetry sexiness even if it hit you across the face"
