true, but she's at the height of her career rn and probably won't ever be this big again, so it makes sense for her to make as much money as she can selling out arenas while she still can

how to disappear just isn’t growing on me like it has for so many other people. i love the apple version but the production on the album version ruins the mood of the track entirely like?? so many weird choices were made and i don’t see how anyone thought those jingle bells would add anything to the song. it’s probably the only track on nfr that i skip

Sorry to bother anyone with that. I'm still a fan, like the rest of you guys. It just happened that this record just doesn't do or bring out much out of me... Don't mean to sound petty or pretentious, I'm just a fan and an audiophile. I just feel very passionately about Lana and it just happened that I haven't really been as into her albums in their entirety after Honeymoon. I just happen to think that Lana has released more interesting records in the past, lyrically, melodically and also from a production standpoint. That's it. Not trying to push my opinions as facts, I'm fully aware they are just that: opinions.
 
I still think that NFR! was a great release this year, believe it or not there are actually songs on this record that I love. I'm glad she finally got a well deserved round of applause for her work, I just wished she got it sooner and for other record/s, that were also deserving of this level of praise, again, in my opinion even more so.
 
I understand that what I say might sound harsh, but I'm just a passionate fan, there are things I appreciate and others not so much. Also, I guess after being Lana for seven years now and after listening to five drastically different albums from her (and an EP) as well as countless other albums from her contemporaries and albums that were released way before. I get to know more about what I like and what I don't. 
 
I'm still a fan, that will never change.
 
Peace!

I find the discussion about Lana's lyricism on this album pretty interesting. I'm kinda torn on it???   
 
Some of her writing on NFR! is BRILLIANT - Mariner's Apartment Complex stands out a lot for me lyrically, it's this great balance of rawness/honesty ("I fucked up, I know that, but Jesus, can't a girl just do the best she can?") and metaphors/imagery (all the lost at sea type stuff) that makes it feel so candid and honest but also considered and, for lack of a better term, not lazy. You can tell a lot of care went into writing the song imo, yet it's not too complex (ha no pun intended) so it's simple enough to feel classic.
 
Then of course you have Hope which, although a lot of the fanbase don't like it, is no doubt some of her absolute greatest lyricism yet. Possibly her best ever tbh. The song tears me apart. You can tell that song was carefully constructed and probably went thru multiple drafts, it's unbelievably perfect.
 
How To Disappear, Norman and Bartender are all very gorgeous lyrically too!!
 
But then you get songs like Love Song. Rhyming 'chest', 'party dress' and 'mess'? 'It's the best' and 'passed the test'??? C'mon   Lana should've moved on from that by now. It's lazy and probably the first sort of rhyme scheme you'd think of if you were just freestyling a song in the studio. I know Love Song is very beloved by fans and I understand why, but a song with such a delicate and minimal instrumental should probably put a little more thought into its lyrics, right??? California has some genuinely lovely moments (the first pre-chorus stands out to me), but "faster than my fastest cars" and "brighter than the brightest stars" are.....   so thoughtless and cringe. The Greatest is one of my favourite Lana songs ever and I think it's really well written mostly, but the way she randomly repeats phases thru the song does make me question why she couldn't just think of more lyrics. The Next Best American Record is  another song that could've had a lot more thought put into it to really elevate it, but that wasn't the case.
 
I think there are some unbelievably high highs on NFR!'s lyrics, but strangely the lows aren't horrendously low - they're just lazy and careless.

no, they don't.

you can watch them out of order except you must watch Murder House & Coven before Apocalypse (and even then you can get away with not watching them).
 
it's accepted that the first three seasons are the best and that the show went downhill after that, so I'd start with those three. my personal favourite is Coven bc I love witch stuff & stevie (whose music plays a big role the entire season), but the writing is a bit messy (but still very good).
 
Asylum (season 2) is impeccable, objectively the best writing. very tight plot and a good ending which is something no other season has.
 
Murder House is good but boring to me.

i just think it's incredible that one bad performance had an enormous impact on the entirety of her career... it really killed her confidence. She's a lot better now, but like others have mentioned, there was years where she was nothing but a joke to all major media outlets... constantly battered with hate. she kept talking about wanting to quit singing, and I don't blame her-- It was really, really harsh. and now all these hypocrites love her, but damn
 
it's just to weird to think that if this performance and the backlash that followed never happened, Lana would be so different and would have taken a diff path. then again, maybe she would have faded from the public eye quicker. who knows!

He's a cop from a corrupt district that went onto Fox News to claim that "bad media coverage" (meaning reports of police brutality) are causing cops to fear using deadly force, as though that's a bad thing. There's also a loooooot of pro-Trump tweets he's tagged that are linked to his deleted tweets, so he's probably a Trump supporter. 
 
Being a friend of a cop was a loss for the fanbase but her support of him is a loss for the culture.
I can only assume she relates to his personality on some level. Delusions of Police Kindness, issues with profiling - none of which would be a talking point if we weren't speaking about the man she's dating. If you think it's alright to support someone who assumed a black man was apart of a gang because of the color of his shirt - then you need an intervention as much as he does - something so many bootlickers will never get because there just isn't enough help for the issue.
Message sent with concern that will never be addressed. 

there is no good from the right.

She keeps saying she's "lucky".
 
There are countless other artists who would give anything to be in her position - to have the opportunity to play sold out shows to thousands of adoring fans in beautiful venues. 
 
Yet she turns up (late) and half-arses it. Lucky? Yes. Grateful? Doesn't seem like it. 

You have to admire her for what she gets away with :/ 

for real, did Win actually do anything to warrant the entire fandom's hate???? he just likes lana and has the money to afford her like every concert. get over it
