I’m pretty sure NFR is her favorite record, I think it was a defensive post right before bb came out in case it got bad reviews lol

I think it was during the CoCC era ... I think it was after everyone hated the terrible BTS cover artwork

I want this kind of "Americana" sound

What's the album about tho?

 

 i feel like every lana album has its own sound and substance. A prevailing theme and mood. But bb is such a collection of random (discarded) tracks that i cant even say what genre it is, let alone what its theme is. 
 

i think that's why i think a lot of folks find it incoherent. It's like, i got the pop lana, the rock lana, the jazzy lana, the folksy lana, the surf rock lana, the hip-hop lana, the gospel lana... who the fuck is bb lana?

 

What do songs like thunder, the trio, dealer, wild flower and text book have in common? Zilch. Nada. Different time stamps in her career, different topics, different productions.

 

it all flows ok on a surface level. But deep down, it's a collection of ldr B-sides.

BB has a quite distinctive sound and I don't think it's any less coherent than LFL, CoCC or OB when it comes to its message. 

 

Each to their own but this is really just doing the modt to justify disliking the album

Definitely fans' views will vary on this. Many agree that BB is super disjoined - especially when you consider some songs are new and some are a decade old, and the album goes from almost ambiental music like Blue Banisters to some dub-step nonense like Interlude - The Trio, in a span of a few songs. The myriad different producers doesn't help.

 

For me, even Lust for Life is more cohesive than BB. But to each their own. Respect your opinion.

BB is actually quite cohesive IMO. Most people saying its disjointed are jusz too caught up knowing some of the tracks where older, even though they all blend in quite smoothly with the new songs.

 

I think even they way Dealer and The Trio are woven into the tracklist makes sense. The only track I always felt was not fitting in was WFWF (although it's a good song)

Ranking albums is fun even though noone reads them - so here we go:

 

1. My Love, Mine All Mine

2. Bug Like An Angel

3. Heaven

4. The Frost

5. I'm Your Man

6. Buffalo Replaced

7. The Deal

8. I Love Me After You

9. I Don't Like My Mind

10. Star

11. When Memories Snow

The new album is fantastic but the album cover is so horrific 

I really love the photo but the typography ... 

 

To be fair, none of her albums but Cowboy & Laurel have good covers

Wow I really love this. Usuallynot the biggest fan of her albuns as they tend to be quite incoherent and have a lot of these demoish fillers. But this one is just wobderful!

 

Bug Like An Angel, Heaven, I"m Your Man and My Love Mine All Mine are my favs, the only track I'm not too fond of is When Memories Snow

I don’t even mind that it’s taking so long - Fiona takes large breaks and comes out with albums if the decade. My issue is that she genuinely seems mentally ill and blames other people for issues she causes 

Fiona released her first two albums within 3 years though

I think its pretty clear Lana counts 

 

1. BtD

2. Paradise

3. UV

4. HM

5. LfL

6. NFR

7. VBBOTG

8. CotCC

9. BB

10. OB

Don't really feel any connection from OB to NFR. Really think that it's quite a logical follow up to CoCC in terms of production and BB in terms of songwriting

Can't really get the hate this album gets. I think in 50% of the cases it's not actually the record but people being upset over stuff like the leaked tracks, keeping themselves from enjoying it. 

 

It's obe of my most listened to Lana albums now, and I'd definitely rank it as her 4th best after UV, HM and NFR.

These songs are in my top 4! With Paris Texas too. But that's sad it hasn't aged well for you. It's the opposite for me, it has aged well for me and it's still a beautiful album. But you know, people have different tastes, so yeah I understand...

Would definitely not want to say it's a bad record or anything but it just does not do much for me as an album. There are a lot of beautiful moments on there but the overall incoherence and slight messyness is making the listening experience a bit bulky. 

I have not listened to any song from this album but Candy Necklace, LTLI and A&W  Really not aging well for me. 

Album feels a bit lackluster tbh.

Can't Replicate, CooCool, Fader and Hurtz So Bad are good, rest is .. meh.

Most songs would have benefitted of being a bit less "creative, artistic and experimental". 

Lust For Life - messy but gorgeous

Listening to Tori Amos’ “Abnormally Attracted to Sin” album, and I would most definitely die if Lanita cooked anything in the vein of it. Magical, transgressive, hazy… 

Imagine a track like Give ...  that would be such a serve!

I hope she learns something out of it but I'm afraid that all that'll happen is that she gives enraged interviews about how she was mistreated as a "woman with an opinion"  ... That nonpology was already bad enough

Elon Musk is literally creating an environment for hateful extremists, he's supportive of conspiracy theorists and the MAGA crowd, all while trying to appear as some sort of genius. There is no "mob" here, you literally just have to check out his twitter account.

 

Grimes defending him either means she is ignorant as hell or just as bad as him

The idea that blocking puberty is in any way safe is complete propaganda .. it's literally insane to suggest that a mentally ill child should be able to take so much of a specific drug that it arrests a biological transformation as dramatic puberty

Did you just say trans people are mentally ill?

Star has some really nice lyrics but I'll have to warm up with its sound a bit 

 

Heaven is beautiful though!

I think the thread makes so.e very good arguments beyobd the initial post shared here, especially on that "big pharma" nonsense snd the weird "mixed up kids" wording.

 

I do not think Roisin is a TERF, but that was a pretty stupid statemrng that deserves to be called out. I'm a huge fan of her art but I see no point in defendibg her for the sake of it
