Lmao I'm not. It's clear I was talking mostly about production compared to her previous work and simplistic/minimalistic production is not even a bad thing, so why are you even putting it like that? I'm not saying the albums were lazy or not well done? It's very obvious that both NFR (as a whole album) and COCC have a more minimalistic approach in terms of production than the hundreds of layers of instruments Ultraviolence, Honeymoon, Lust For Life etc has. (Excluding Venice Bitch)

And again, I never said that's a bad thing, I was just elaborating on why it might not click for me

Well I respectfully disagree. My friends that listen to Lana, my friends I force to listen to Lana (lol) also had the same vibe with NFR. Don’t get me wrong, the album is amazing, but listening to BTD, UV, HM, LFL first and then listening to NFR, it feels a lot more raw, simple, minimalistic and intimate. Which is why I loved NFR, but I don’t like COCC right now probably... I probably expected a lot more complex production, vocal layers with reverb etc indeed.

I quote from a review from Pitchfork " But here, with delicacy and grace, he and Lana find new wings in minimalism, fresh air to breathe, a structural relief."

And from The Edge "It's Lana Del Rey's best album yet - through its somber, minimalist production"

I'm so sad that this album doesn't click for me... It's just boring and plain to me. I loved all of Lana's albums, NFR was great but felt simplistic to me (but still her best, don’t get me wrong), and I was already afraid she would make the production etc more simplistic.

Idk, maybe I'm just more a production whore than I thought I was. I really loved the cinematic theme of Honeymoon, trap inspired L4L, psychedelic rock Ultraviolence, dark and modern BTD+Paradise and raw yet simplistic NFR. This album feels like a more empty version of NFR to me

Jeez, no need to act like that. The production is definitely minimalistic and simplistic compared to her other albums imo? Not saying there is something wrong with that, just elaborating that is why it might not click for me but ok

It's ok! I also personally love heavily produced songs. This album, while objectively well done like NFR, doesn't hit me the way the others did and it's just due to a lack of production compared to the others. I'm definitely 100% in love with White Dress though ? But otherwise, while I'm generally not into piano ballads/acoustic-like/stripped down styles of music, I'm sure her future works will be appealing as she experiments often
