love deluxe

on our way and disco are so underrated to me

west coast was one of the first few lana songs i’d heard, after summertime sadness, video games, dark paradise, and burning desire all had me hooked as a casual listener. i remember going on spotify and searching her up after hearing all those songs, and west coast was her most recent release. i played it, and i knew from that moment on i was gonna become obsessed with her. and then i heard brooklyn baby once that dropped and was just absolutely engulfed in her music by that point. honeymoon was the first album i listened to on release day but ultraviolence was when i knew i was a fan. <3

beautiful and violets for roses are such growers for me. on initial listen i wasn’t the biggest fan, but they really did find their way into my heart very quickly and this album as a whole has, too. while i still think the trio is a bit basic sounding and doesn’t fit the album, i don’t 100% mind it. every other song on this record is absolutely gorgeous, and i can’t stop listening to black bathing suit, IYLDWM, beautiful, violets for roses, dealer, and thunder. just a perfect 6-track run. WFWF and Cherry Blossom are both really pretty, but not quite my favs. Nectar, however, is growing on me quite a bit as well. I’ve always loved it as an unreleased song, but when i saw it was going to be on the album, I was skeptical if anything. But after having some time to digest the album, I think it fits perfectly into the sonic landscape she created with this album. Sweet Carolina is just… wow. her vocals on this one blow me away every time. this is a great album and I’m happy Lana still has music like this in her. as of now, my album ranking is as follows, though it is always subject to change: Honeymoon Ultraviolence Norman Fucking Rockwell! Blue Banisters / Born To Die (Tied) Paradise Chemtrails Over The Country Club Lust for Life

kinda wish i was with my father

the trio is fun but i feel like it doesn’t fit this album at all 😭 i really like every other song on this album and think it flows smoothly but i think arcadia would’ve flowed into black bathing suit just fine tbh.

lanaboards arguments are so funny and pointless like

this is random but i wish she’d re-record wolf t-shirt for this album

i would say alternative / prog rock. it reminds me of coldplay and kate bush with the piano melody, with a nine inch nails trent reznor style vocal. pretty good!

bbs being the longest song… yup i’m excited

i had to let cocc have something

it’s no longer one

yeah my bathing suits pretty cool but it’s not as cool as me im an arcadia babyyyyyy im an arcadia babyyyyyy (fame, fame, fame, fame, fame…) WHATEVERS ON TONIGHT I JUST WANNA PARTY WITH YOU TOPANGAS HOT TONIGHT IM TAKING OFF MY BLACK BATHING SUIT

true but i meant more in that soft slow rock vibe. arcadia is definitely in my top 20 released LDR songs i think though.

i want a brooklyn baby level track on this album

my body is a map of L.A.

jenny handed me a beer and said how the hell did you get there

of me on a john deere

here’s to hoping!

elle wake up the gays are fighting

i’m pretty sure that’s not up for any one person to decide. queer people are allowed to do what they want regarding words that have been used to hurt their community, and it’s also no one else’s business whether or not we “should” use a word as a joke or not. as a trans woman i’ve been called f*g, tr*nny, and worse as a means to harass and abuse me for years, so me or any other lgbt person who is reclaiming words that have done the same to them shouldn’t be so controversial. plus this is, like i said, the blue banisters prerelease thread. why is this discussion even taking place here???

here’s hoping elle moves all these comments about the use of the word f*ggot to the random discussion thread
