I definitely don’t think BTD is her best, and I don’t want a BTD 2.0 (or 2.0 of any record she’s made) she’s had so many iconic lyrical moments throughout her career (her song writing definitely didn’t just magically stop with BTD), it just seems like the girl who came full circle and sang “Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind I want to get off but I keep riding the ride” went back to singing “lying on your chest, in my party dress, I’m a fucking mess” like...where’s the fire.
 
this is the unpopular opinion thread and I know me not liking NFR is a very unpopular opinion.
 
she went from having lush strings, ambiance sprinkled throughout her songs (God Knows I Tried had crickets, 13B had SO many little sound effects and noises that made the song so full) and NFR had strings that don’t add a thing to the overall song and hardly any kind of beats (CG being an exception, I would have killed for a full song that sounds like the last minute)
 
I can be critical and still like her
 
edit: plus, the two songs I’m quoting as saying I miss aren’t even BTD. They’re paradise (which yes is an EP but also feels very much like it’s own body if work)

The lack of communication on Lana’s part is getting super frustrating. I know she lives her own life and has flat out said she doesn’t care about losing fans, but it wouldn’t kill her to communicate even a little. It’s always been a problem with her but it’s getting increasingly bad. First the September 5th date coming and going with her saying nothing, the book signing where she threw two days around, the instagram live on Election Day where she flat out says “I was planning on making an official announcement but this will do”
 
and now her performance planned for Monday. Even if she is going to sing Chemtrails (which I’m finding more and more unlikely) she could at least post a ‘Catch you Monday’ to announce it. 
 
I’m also in agreement with the others who say she’s really losing what made her music unique. The woman who sang her Pussy tastes like Pepsi cola, had to touch herself to pretend her man was there, was being led to war with her man’s brilliant direction...gone, now her mans just being a jerk :/

keep big eyes' name out of your fuckin mouth 
 

Big Eyes is a masterpiece and one of her best songs

i struggle to remember which shows are from la to the moon and which shows are from the nfr tour because there was literally no growth between those tours they both bore me and they both look exactly the same... i dont even know which tour had that big swing

i feel like she downgraded the second she met Jack. Even the demo of Votd that she sent to him as inspo sounds better than most of the songs on the nfr. Lmlylaw sounds straight out of nfr. Its just getting boring and repetitive.It even has the exact same short melody in the background as most of nfr songs. Summertime was finally something new and you can see how much fans liked it. If Lana stays with Jack for the next albums, i think fans will slowly begin unstanning

except for the odd song here and there, it’s rare-ish for me to actively dislike any song she’s put out.... but now im finding myself actively hating the last three she’s put out in a row  YNWA, Summertime and LMLYLAW. im beginning to think she’s lost everything that made her appeal to me in the first place, or at least gone in a direction i no longer relate to, which is sad because of how hard ive stanned from BTD all the way to NFR. although im hoping that cotcc in full will prove me wrong. 
 
even if this is it though ill still be grateful for all the great albums and unreleased that she’s provided me with  

I always start my NFR! album listening with Mariners Apartment Complex. " You took my sadness out of context " is a  better opening line than   " You fucked me so good  that I almost said I love you" btw
 
Speaking of title tracks..the LFL & NFR!  ones are my least favourite title tracks ...hoping for COTCC to surprise me with a title track that’s good as BTD, UV & HM
 
 

I wouldn't say I lost interest in her as an artist, I'm still a hopeful fan and very looking forward to next releases and stuff. But, you do hit the nail when you say that her work has little to no replay value nowadays. I didn't like 'Lust for Life' as an album, but the songs I loved on there, I loved them and I'm still listening to them to this day. On 'NFR'... I'll listen to the title track sometimes even if the opening line is cringy, or sometimes if I feel like it 'Venice Bitch' or 'The greatest', but that's honestly about it.

thinking about how "cowboy like me" is going to sound.  i just know that's going to be something special

15 hours to go
 

Not me saying “fuck Taylor’s sister album” two seconds ago in the COCC thread to build delulu momentum for Chemtrails and then coming to this thread in actual excitement because Taylor really is delivering this year 
 

 

wait, someone did that?  dealer leak here we go

Salamander (Courney Love Remix)

If she sings a song from COCC, even if it's LMYLAW, I wish she would show up as the eccentric-rich-lady character she played in the video with the typewriter and the cats. Wearing a bathrobe and pearl gloves, just being totally weird and Jimmy can't tell if she's joking or not.

If she’s releasing the title track this week and premiering it Monday imagine how hard it’s gonna slap 
 
when the BTS guy said the song was ‘fire’ I got my hopes up and now I’m reaching levels of delusion
 
 

the meltdowns if lana performs YNWA or summertime instead of something from chemtrails. 
 
i'm not manifesting this at ALL, but it would be funny. 

coming from the same girl who announced the album while still waiting for the poetry book she announced as ‘Jan 4th’
 
if anyone can do it, she can!! AS&C 2021!!!

I will laugh when this also gets delayed. An album released to tide people over because of a delay getting delayed.  Only Lana could pull it off!

don't get my hope up miss girl 
 
i'm bookmarking this for when we're faced w disappointment on monday 

manifesting a "Lana Del Rey - Chemtrails Over the Country Club (Live from The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon)" video on December 14th 

this is the vibe we need for this live show:
