    These songs are always organized together in my head as a pretty cohesive EP with playful (kinda) creepy manic pixie dream girl gangsta wannabe theme

    maybe just a funny way of saying cutie twice without saying it twice

     

    I also don't get which character this refers to... like

     

    New Wave Woman = blue eyeshadow Marina (I love it but I'm actually not sure whether this outfit is styled in a new wave way - for me it should look like... definitely 80s while Marina is dressed in 60s Twiggie-like attire? Correct me if I'm wrong)

    Silent Film Star = the "older Electra"

    Horror Flick Chick = Marina in jeans

    Action Angel = Marina in black leather catsuit

    Q.T. Cutie = ?????

    I think what I miss the most, and I’ve thought about this a lot, is that in her other albums, especially Electra Heart, she was making societal criticisms but she did it in a way that really made you think.

    Thisssss!! It's not the "woke" or political topics itself which bother me in the majority of Love + Fear songs, PTP and Man's World - it's the way the message is conveyed through the surface-level statements. Like "there were riots in America", "Harvey Weinstein went to jail"... it sounds like a listing of trending topics without any exploration, commentary or lyricism. It's not cleverly worded nor has any value as poetry. That's why it all sonds fake as if Marina was tying too hard to give off that vibe of Woke Feminist Icon (C)

     

    I actually really liked Purge the Poison as a song, it's catchy, sounds like TFJ and Froot's lovechild and the production is fresh. The video is great too, I love the ruby slippers and hope to see more Oz references in other visuals. Both of the released songs mention witches as a metaphor for "inconvenient" women, so it'd be great if Marina used some characters of the setting to further develop this comparison

    I always end up skipping this particular bulk of songs, they contain ALL the aspects I like in Lana's music the least - from Overly Long Titles and cringey political lyrics to the annoying folk collaborators. Without those LFL is a fine lil summer EP featuring both BTD and Honeymoon vibes at the same time.

    Spoiler


    I have such a mixed opinion on this album. Its simultaneously very un-Lana (especially the countrier songs, which could be recorded by any other singer) and very proto-Lana (as in Sirens, AKA) at the same time. 

     

    COCC seems to be an opposite of the grower since I liked it better during the first listen (my expectations for an other slower stripped down Jackoff album were pretty low after LMLYLAW) - especially because I was pleasantly surprised by her experimental vocals in White Dress, and the sound felt so serene and trippy. I really like the title track and TJF is the closest to the title of sexy bop on the album. Dark But Just a Game is nice and I like Breaking Up Slowly - but just as if it was not a Lana song? Idk

    But afterwards it felt too cohesive? Boring? I'm kinda sad because once again there is nothing which can give me the intense emotions, feeling of grandeur and pure amazement UV and Honeymoon gave. Its a nice collection of songs but I absolutely don't get why anyone would praise it as a magnum opus - out of all her work.

    I agree but tbh I am surprised she did Doin' Time live at all. I really didn't think it'd be a song that she would ever do live ... will be interesting to see if she performs it during the rest of this tour or if that's it.

     

    She really has no sense of what fans actually want, though (or just doesn't care) ... like I very much doubt most of the people there wanted to hear NA over Doin' Time ...

    To be honest, everyone around me was screaming out loud they want National Anthem!! Even the guys who were singing along to all the songs including mariners and VB, so those who I’d expect to be true stans or at least interested in her enough to learn all the lyrics to the newer less promoted songs ‍♀

    Hiya! So I'm going to Lolla Stockholm to watch Lana, but this is the first time I'm visiting such a crowded event, so I wonder if any of you guys have tips on how early one should arrive to the gig to not to end up standing in the furthest row?... Watching the video of Lollapalooza Chile with that huge crowd scared me a bit, haha

    I wanted to see Billie Eilish too, but judjing by how her perfomance ends right in time Lana's one starts, I dont have much hope now  :(
