Not necessarily unpopular but A&W being two songs in one is what makes it so good, genuinely don't understand people who say it should've been separate songs 

i love how this thread is just people saying what they're afraid to say in other threads 

peppers and taco truck deeply mid (for lana)

This. And when she did release them (like on BB) they felt lazy and the album could have been better without them 

i still have absolutely no desire for lana to release any of her old unreleased songs... i can listen to them just fine regardless if they're released or not
 
i'm fine with her releasing a new version of yes to heaven though

even after 9 years after its release I still know why it's my favorite lana album, all of the incoming leaks are just blowing my mind like the OG album ... Dan's production is pure heaven! I really love her pre-poetic writing. It's crazy how they ended up using just 11 songs for the standard album (16 in total) when the they recorded 30+ Songs for that project. Ultimate dream would be that they'd release 10 or 15 Annivesary Edition on a 2 (or even 3) CD Set with all well produced outtakes and some demo's. I also prefer Pink Champage over the COTCC Version (it would fit so well after MPG & before FMWUTTT or before Flipside). I mostly prefer her OG Songs over the re-produced ones (Thunder, Best American Record). Would love to hear the UV Version of If you lie down next to me (even tho I love the BB Version as well).  I also wonder which songs her label and Adele's Producer heard, the final tracklisting or maybe some outtakes as well? god bless this album!

These leaks prove she needs to go back to the fuller sound

There's just something about her earlier vocals that get me every time. These new leaks from whatever the Tropico era is has really made me thirsty for that again! And I love all of her albums...
 
But the way Born To Die into Paradise, her voice was such a rush, thrilling, it really captured this essence of being young, stupid and wildly in love. There's a naivete to her voice but there's so much passion and desire when she sings these songs.
 
Then Ultraviolence into Honeymoon, her vocals really fuck me up. It's insane. The way she manages to sound hopeless yet hopeful at the same time. She sounds physically and emotionally exhausted, she knows it's the end of the relationship, she's tired and heartbroken to a point where vocally there seems to be some relief? Like a weight has been lifted. But then there's always a glimmer of hope, a bit of desperation to keep it going and to make it work. It's a complete rush but in a total different way to the Born To Die era.
 
The Tropico era seemed very spiritual (and I know she described it that way back in 2013). But for real, there's such an ethereal feel to most of these songs, like they were never supposed to be heard anyways. And the stripped back production of this time is something I'd love to hear again from her. The guitar is insane and really works for her! And as much as I love the records that preceded this era and followed, it's nice to have a moment which feels intimate and almost like if Born To Die was the thrill and rush of a bad relationship, Ultraviolence and Honeymoon was the lows and aftermath; Tropico feels like the lying in bed alone whilst awake at 3am looking for answers?
 
I've honestly never experienced the way I feel when listening to her music with any other artist, especially the first few records, it's like sour candy, you're drawn in by the sweetness and even though you know it's bitter you're still not ready for how bitter it can be? And you still crave more!
