  1. It's painful to remember how expressive she was not that long ago. She looks like a Madame Tussaud's version of Lana. This is sad.
  2. He could have told her that she had a bit of food between her teeth...
  3. Surely it's a hugely controversial album. For me, it has some very nice acoustic discoveries and lovely textures, and some of her best work to date, yet the album stays sketchy, as a whole. With the listens, I've come to the conclusion that it showcases a stage on Lana's mind, somehow a rupture with many things, and I think that the album will be kind of an inflection point regarding her artistic output. By the way, thanks for giving me the technical insight on the chord thing, I never got along with musical theory and it's nice to be helped on that matter!
  4. Ye, I get also the reasons why many people are in love with the song. The confessional, almost nude perspective that it develops... I get the idea and like it also, yet the execution kills it for me. When I say Videogames as an example, just thinking about a song that's similar aesthetically, yet I think has a lot more of work to it. Maybe even Happiness is a Butterfly -which uses some very similar chords, if not the same ones (I'm not a musician, so just going by ear here)- is, for me, an example of a song which builds lyrically, vocally and instrumentally around the narrative of fragility, yet is done in more elaborated terms.
  5. I knew I was going to get some people mad, hahaha It's just how I feel about it. As I said, she sounds transparent and genuine, but the composition and production of the song are just a poor sketch, from my point of view, and it had the potential to be a powerful -even delicate and soft, thinking of some other song as Videogames, p.e-, well structured one, yet them let it on the draft stage.
  6. Sure this will fit as "unpopular", so Love Song is one of her laziest, worst composed and most poorly produced and structured songs ever. The lyrics aren't that much either. The only thing that saves it for me is that she sounds honest on it.
  7. That image pretending to be the cover on Spotify and the Lana's drawing itself are both terrible. If the actual cover of the album ends up being something similar to any of these drawings, given the level of some of the poems she shared, it could perfectly end up being a conceptual album about how beautiful was to create on first years of primary school. Please, Lana, don't do that.
  8. Absolutely out of topic; anyway. This year I discovered this site and it's been always a beautiful, safe and interesting place to come since then. Thank you all for making it such a nice and enriching experience. Have a beautiful new year
  9. Here, listening to this album for the 500th time, maybe. Few times I've felt so connected to a project, or to the voice on it. Maybe Lana gave us with Honeymoon one of the most sophisticated depictions of loneliness to ever exist.
  10. The intro is nice and original, no doubt, but I think it's more done as a continuation to Cinnamon Girl outro than as a random choice.
  11. I said this sometime ago, when the FIILY-TG video was released, and it was perceived as an offense by many. She doesn't look even like the same person, and the new one is sadly even unpleasant to look at, at least for me. Her face looks frozen and bloated most of the time. It's a gigantic shame.
  12. Actually, many of the threads on this site have become spontaneously "Unpopular opinion" ones. Lana should truly have a thought about that.
  13. Just reading some of your comments and thinking... Her level of mediocrity has gone so far that, if she doesn't make a 180º turn on that in her next projects, whatever they end up being, very few of us will remain being interested about her or her output. I'm personally very frustrated about how she shows under zero responsibility for the things she releases or the messages she is legitimating (absolutely agree with the ones here complaining about the lack of ethnical/racial perspective on the thing with the "cops"). She's starting to cross the thin border between "fresh out of fucks forever" and being absolutely uninteresting, or even disgusting.
  14. Actually there will be just a video, no music on it, and she will say too "Make your own album!". Then she will become the most critically acclaimed artist of all times and will be rewarded with all the existent awards on earth. The culture is lit!
  15. Strangely, Chucks vision may be the most savable part of the video -apart from Bambi and the weird rockets there-. She has used for sure some analogic shooting material and there's some beautiful stills... The video itself is maybe the dullest visual thing she has put out ever -including Venice Bitch and Honeymoon ones-. What a wasted chance to do something interest-worthy...
  16. I'm a bit worried about what she may mean with "not very polished", or whatever she said, when the last standards on polishment set by her were NFR...
  17. Ye, I meant that the three releases were unlikely to happen in 2019 together, even if she has said so. But, undoubtly, she has given new info about three new projects when nobody was expecting it, and that's exciting for sure!
  18. So... She's planning -not that it will make her do it- to release a spoken word album, a poetry book and a new album in 2019?
  19. Absolutely out of topic, but I needed to ask someone about... RHCP just announced via Instagram that Frusciante is rejoining them as guitarist... Does anybody know if this is a joke or is true?
