I was thinking this morning while listening to it, that maybe she removed the word mother as a further diss! Imagine, not even referring to her as a mother. I actually think that's the reason. Lana won't even call her 'mother' anymore. In which case, I love the removal even more as it's more powerful.

I listen on streaming, but am far from being a casual listener.

Is it censored on the cds/vinyl copies as well as the streaming?

I only heard at the listening party yesterday but this is pretty much how I feel. Such a strong album.

Reading peoples (subjective of course) opinions on the album over the last few days, I was massively surprised at the listening party yesterday at how much I LOVED the entire album. What a beautiful piece of art, I even loved the interludes, especially the Batiste one. Hard to pick a fave track yet, but Paris, Grandfather, Let The Light In and Margaret REALLY stood out for me. But there genuinely wasn't a single track I didn't really like, and the singles, as much as I love them, are not my fave tracks on the album. Can't wait to hear this on repeat tomorrow.

I was at Sound Knowledge in Marlborough, UK (small countryside town) and loved the event. There was a big round of applause from everyone at the end.

Really good read, thanks for sharing.

Yayo; I don't like any version. Hate it.

I've seen 4 reviews so far; all 4/5 which is really good. Personally I don't care much for reviews as they're subjective; I only read them before the album comes out to get a jist of what to expect. Guardian 4/5 NME 4/5 Independent 4/5 Rollingstone UK 4/5

I was going to go to the Bristol one, but now going a little closer in (of all places) Marlborough which is just 15mins away for me.

Disappointed for you fans who had tickets. (I didn't as I had a holiday booked) I just had Madonna cancel my night and it's gutting.

I don't have a ticket. I will only do standing and they're all gone.

The song would have to be nominated. I am 99.9999% sure that won't happen, and for good reason.

Not used to Lana being part of a nothing, trashy song like this. Just throw away pop. Her part is nice, and Miley's ok, but Ariana, nope. It's just... nothing.

I love Billie Eilish. Always thought she sounds like electro-Lana with bass

That explains it - they didn't say in their post on fb.

Rolling Stone are promoting Lana's cover of 'Some Things Last A Long Time' today. (Bizarre that we've had the song for 2 - 4 years already, and even more bizarre is that RS are promoting a 4 year old article.) https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/hear-lana-del-reys-aching-daniel-johnston-cover-40495/?fbclid=IwAR2As2t1iUZ2xsQdIt1Se0UrE0z57gcbSxIqjNd0Bu4EZ-PLouVv12IQdCo

@@Amadeus I have that Korean CMBYN book in my collection. Love that cover!

I agree with everything you say here.

I agree with you, but I understand more why she would be upset. It's her work that's being critiqued so it's personal. But for fans to think they should take it upon themselves to abuse the reviewer on behalf of Lana is patronising and inappropriate in my opinion.

What I still don't understand is why anyone would go on a reviewers twitter and attack/complain about someones review/opinion! They are entitled to their opinion without being attacked! The review isn't even particularly negative! It's long and rambling but there's a lot of positive stuff in it. Nothing wrong with saying you disagree and explaining why you like the album etc, but to attack, insult etc is absurd. For those who did that, then perhaps there is some truth in this "entitled millennials who take can't criticism, etc".

But WHY should he (or anyone for that matter) get a backlash even if he didn't Like the album??? That's his right! I think people have lost the plot; it's like a dictatorship!

Wow - because they didn't like her review. Those people are an embarrassment and everything that is wrong with the web. People are allowed to not like what you like. It's beyond immature and you can be sure those people wouldn't insult that lady to her face. And calling her a faggot! That word get's used on here A LOT I've noticed; possibly the same person...

Woo hoo. Here's mine... https://www.instagram.com/p/B18ri5qlF2J/?igshid=cmn10kwni41f

My original view of the album was that I loved all songs except Bartender and Fuck it. Now after a few days on constant rotation, I have grown to like these songs more. I still don't like the backing vocals in Fuck it (sound cheap and demo like), and bartender just feels cheap but I enjoy it more now. It'll never be my favourite but now I can play the album without skipping these. What a gorgeous album. Bringing me life.
