It's so infuriating that so many reviewers are crusty white men that started reviewing to bitch and moan about singers (women minority and/or gay men, usually) that they don't like and then kiss the asses of a couple of singers (fellow white men) that they hail as geniuses, as opposed to like. Being genuinely excited about music and open to new sounds man's world

Do it. I had to cancel mine because I thought they'd already taken out the money weeks ago and then got an email saying my bank wasn't authorizing it do it for the rest of us

Norman Fucking Rockwell - 20 Mariners Apartment Complex - 13 Venice Bitch - 18 Fuck it I love you - 3 Love Song - 12 Cinnamon Girl - 12 California - 10 The Greatest - 21 Bartender - 13 Happiness is a Butterfly - 10 hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but i have it - 7

the power ms gayjailer has, incredible. this really is the era. this energy better carry through to the grammys.

Legit, in the pre-release it's "omg i wish lana would stop being so PC and get her nasty ears fixed," now it's faux-concern about her alleged misandry that literally no one was talking about lmao. You'd think Verty would have got the memo he wouldn't like it when she said Norman fucking Rockwell is about men who think they're geniuses, but I guess he was too busy reading JP and the nuanced articles on 16personalities.com to focus on our girl

You did give me Jordan Peterson fanboy vibes, glad we could clarify that sweetie! Please google 'punching up' so you can wrap your little head around why sexism isn't a black and white issue, and while you're at it, why a woman calling herself a 'little venice bitch' is far, far removed from a man calling a woman a bitch

I thought this song was soooo boring with the LQ leak that I didn't listen to it even to the chorus until the official release, and fell in love immediately hearing the chorus. Someone in the pre-release pointed out that the t-t sound sounds like a camera shutter, but I'm really loving the other interpretations too. Such a great song- it feels halfway between LFL and NFR, but in a good way. Very refreshing when you're listening to the album

Cinnamon girl is fine. It's nothing incredible though and it doesn't stand out in her lineup of songs as much as people are saying. I'd compare it to cherry for being the anthems that people wanted but will ultimately forget soon, but I really like the 'bitch, fuck' and the 'can i get a fuckin hallelujah's in cherry so i won't

yeah the way she describes their supposedly professional relationship as 'like a love story' is um... a choice. I know she's inspired a lot by beat poets and the whole thing of being a vessel for the writing to come out of but that's exactly why she needs a producer that's going to say no, that line's bad or needs work. The song with the best writing is Hope by a mile and the song(s) that are the most experimental in terms of a departure from her usual style are bartender and venice bitch. 2/3 involved jack very little (hope) or not at all (bartender). 17 year olds with access to audacity came up with the exact same structure and music for cinnamon with two snippets that jack did with like. A studio and the artist herself. He's not nearly as talented as people are making out.

OKay so at some point last week I wrote HTD---mojo pin, I can't remember exactly what parts I meant but something about the chords remind me of the lyricless-soothing-humming parts of mojo pin at the start (it also gives me big happiest girl in the whole usa vibes)

I saw you quoted and scrolled for ages trying to find your post wtf i hate when ppl change their profile pics I think these are massively connected tbh. Rick seem(ed) like he kept her very grounded by challenging her creatively, and yeah it can get boring listening over and over to the same section of music over and over again but any artist / writer / musician will tell you that that's how you get a great piece of art as opposed to an alright one. To use an example, when I saw Van Morrison live it was kind of a trip because he had jazzy / rocky music that you would associate with meandering and spontaneous solos, but watch a live performance and you realise he has that shit tightly packed- there isn't a beat out of place. Precision in art always wins over sloppiness in the long run. Even steven king, who I would consider something of a sloppy writer, reads his books through a couple of times and the sloppiness in it is more of a stylistic thing than anything. I think she's spent so long working with producers that run tight ships that she's getting a bit manic working with one who's fine with finishing a song in the space of a day- people that write as much and as quickly as she does needs someone to put the brakes on and decide whether a line works, whether it fits, whether it's good or not. Looking at what production gems people rave about in the post-release threads of HM and NFR makes me almost sad- with HM it's the hospital-like microbeats in the blackest day and with NFR it's a kind of quiet electric guitar in HIAB lmao. also what sparklejumpropenoose said about jackoff's music sounding like other people's quite a lot is very true. I love the title track a lot but the initial strings sound so much like a certain song that I KNOW jackoff's heard that it's incredible he hasn't been sued if this is his signature move lol. I hope she doesn't burn out but she's going to, and going to hard.

Honeymoon Born to Die Cruel world NFR Ride Love But in all honesty there's very little difference in quality. Even love as a title track sends shivers down my spin with the opening DUN. DUN.

Some of these critics deserve to be put down wtf. I haaate reviewers and articles that cannot let go of the 2011 ideas about her. Time's moved on old men.

It's at 86! edit: nm that's old news, ignore

I hope the instrumentals leak soon bartender sounds like it would be amazing to listen to

A couple hours ago in NFR pre release (rip) I joked that she would announce LDR7 halfway through the tour Miss Thing is going faster than any of us i swear

Well well well thot we were being made homeless but queen had a different plan! I know for sure I'm not going to listen to snippets this time around, singles (if she puts any out) yes but if she instagrams the songs again I'll avoid surprises / leaks this time around

the aka rerelease in no particular colour at all! (translucent)

I'd die for a legit AKA vinyl but this... this would be something else

probably elle telling us our bullshit won't be tolerated on the post-release and rightfully so

This has been such an anything-goes thread tho (minus the warning points). Like the march 29th stuff wasn't here for that but I imagine it was stressful dragging violets bent blah blah blah, arguing that it has definitely been scrapped, arguing about everything under the sun including the ethics of criticizing celebrities and briefly climate change Plus this thread gave birth to a lot of users :^0 rip justice for 4000 gang

If it's a LA exclusive I'll be so pissed

If there are diff prints in the pop-up shop I hope they get put on her regular shop

Btw has anyone read the book she posted about, women who run with the wolves or smthn, and do you think it's impacted her lyric writing in NFR in any way?

it sounds like the guy driving the truck did some shit that she knows abt..?
