I really don't understand how people dislike Hope. It's so suffocatingly emotional. Such a perfectly raw blend of nihilism and optimism and a perfect picture of what living with depression for years feels like. Just a piano, a woman, and her pain. Perfection

I happen to completely agree with him but I wish people would stop caring about critics' opinions so much. Not referring to you, just a general statement. Some opinionated asshole who has ridiculed your favorite artist(s) for years & repeatedly trashed albums you love decides they like ONE thing you happen to like too....so suddenly they're an expert whose words are gospel & opinions matter more than anything, and more than anyone else's? You either care or you don't. I'm not going to rejoice that the absolute fuckwit who gave Ultraviolence 2/10 took a break from being tasteless and found himself liking two great songs. Personally, I don't see why we should give these people value.

Stevie Nicks:  *is 71* 
 
Del Rey added: “Stevie's one of the few people I know that says the muse is the most important thing to her. More than anything else, her priority is just following the muse wherever it takes her, whether it’s a 60-date tour or new record or solo endeavour. So she’s inspirational like that.”    Lana LOVES that Stevie is still touring!  I recall her seeing Carole King, who is in her late 70s, in 2015-2016 also!    LOVE IT!!! 

I don't think it's a bad album. It just doesn't necessarily fit within the narrative and the world she has created in her other albums. I adore TNC, Cherry, Heroin, Summer Bummer, Groupie Love, GBA, etc, but it feels more like a collection of songs with no direction. 

Completely agree. I would understand indifference but like actual vitriol??? WHAT?  I don't understand. It's so lovely. Those last few moments when she jumps up a register and everything is as delicate as possible and you can really feel she means what she's singing and then the final chords don't resolve back to 1 leaving it so open ended. FUCK. So good. 

Honeymoon has beautiful instrumentals what are you talking about 

Lana will be visiting (or calling into) the Radio 1 broadcast tomorrow to premiere her never before heard, conpletely unknown new singles The Greatest and FIILY. I’m completely shocked and am very much wondering what they may sound like! Use this thread to talk about the premiere!

I always considered the slowdown in the middle of West Coast with the guitar and Lana singing "Oh Baby Oh" as a unique bridge.

i'm kinda relieved she's still hanging around those dive bars in those false lashes

Of all the posts you could choose to quote, you chose one mentioning the title of a song. 

if you want to listen to the leak, then go ahead and listen to it.
if you want to listen to the album when it is officially released, you can do that.
if you think the 13 year old should be guillotined, then whatever. you're wrong, but whatever.
if you think the grandparents should be put on house arrest, whatever. you're wrong, but whatever.
if you think Ben and Ed suck, think that.
if you want to suck Ben and Ed, go ahead.
 
this thread is 3266 pages long. rest. take your iron supplement. feed your cats. brush your teeth. stream Born to Die.
 
In the meantime, I will be temporarily locking this thread until August 29th.

NFR should not be judged on the way the album rollout was handled. Could it have been handled differently? Absolutely. Lana should have never released singles so early, and should have never shared so many snippets so far in advance of the release. But we do not know what went on behind the scenes. The album could have been planned for an earlier release but something could have happened outside of Lana’s control. Communication should have been better, but it is what it is.
 
I have not listened to the leak, but I know better than to judge an album in a negative way just because I don’t like how the album rollout took place. Quality music speaks for itself, and I think NFR will speak for itself in the end.
 
Lana will always win in the end, and her work should be respected. She had put out 6 albums in a 7 years time. That is almost unheard of. She works hard and her work deserves respect. It seems to be that Lana fans have become very spoiled and feel entitled. It shouldn’t be that way.

I decided months ago I wouldn't be buying it either. I refuse to spend my hard-earned money on things that don't give me joy. And it turns out I don't even like half the album so like...spend $15 why? For Duke Nicholson's mug and Lana's ugly neon jacket? I still feel only frustration when I think about this album. I feel genuine happiness when I play Born To Die. I was barely making ends meet when I bought the Deluxe version but I don't regret it. BTD & Paradise feel magical to me. I won't lie, I was disappointed in the Deluxe version of Ultraviolence, the packaging felt a bit cheap. But the music is out of this world. UV & Honeymoon mean so much to me, I felt like I had to have physical copies. Lust For Life was a bit on the meh side but I was like, might as well.... NFR though? This bitch has no place in my collection. A download is what she deserves.

I'm buying the record, but the way these people are acting like she's going to be living on the streets without these sales are doing the most. BTD is the second longest charting female record. She will be fine

Y'all who are worried about Lana's sales need to wise up lol. She's gonna be fine. She's making more money than you probably ever will, leaks or not. Save your sycophantism and Stan Justice Warrior bullshit for independent artists who actually need the sales, or like give your $20 to some struggling gay in the Sudan instead of Lana.
 
I just wanna say . I was never going to buy the album. I was always goin to listen to the leak. You bet your ass the phone recorded leak went directly into my ears, and I loved it. I will also be downloading the HQ leak when it inevitably comes and will snicker under my breath at anyone buying this album. The music should be free
 
If Lana comes to me in a dream to chastise me, I'm not even going to respond . As for the capitalist stans whose sole purpose in life is protecting the wealth of the already wealthy who are hoarding wealth from those who need it: There's things I wanna say to you but I'll just let you live. The end

Did she reaaaally leak it tho? I know she recorded it for some rabid lanaboards users, but I doubt she was cunning enough to know to upload the audio on the sites it got posted on. Unless someone specifically directed her to upload them there...
What I’m tryna say is the users who bombarded her DMs begging for it are responsible for the leak, not the child who got her cassette early.
And all of y’all who came for her, saying such horrible things about a kid, y’all need to give yourselves a good look in the mirror and grow tf up

Can someone explain why y'all are so mad at a CHILD doing something CHILDISH? I feel so bad for that girl that leaked the album. She was just trying to be nice.
