Weirdkowski

i was OBSESSED with carmen and lolita when i was younger they’re all i played. i cant listen to most of btd now unless i’m in the mood. it’s a very childish album to me, super dated and stuck in 2012 tumblr. unlike the rest of her albums which feel timeless 

there's not a lot of songs that i feel like i'm too "mature" for, but the album version of lolita is just not for me anymore

It lowkey upsets me when I see fans saying they disliked COCC, BB or even NFR. I know some of you have gripes about vocals or production, more technical things like that - and I definitely have felt like some of the material hasn't been *my speed* but I can't bring myself to call any of her recent output legitimately "bad", Lana has her styles that she sticks to and while I may find some songs more interesting than others, I think all of her songs are very pretty but I am likely biased
 
I think perhaps in some ways the fan base has out grown Lana or Lana herself has out grown her fanbase. She is aging (and I don't mean this in a negative context) and maturing and the lyrics and sound have reflected that. I mean there's still some fans who are hoping for a BTD return to form or still have BTD+P high in album & song rankings and I get those were great eras but I think that too is reflective of how Lana has maybe out grown some of the fans she retained from those albums, but you guys are still here and I think that's lovely. You don't have to like everything an artist does surely and to critique it is quite fun sometimes too
 
I can say for myself I hardly revisit COCC and when I do it's the same tracks (WAH, WD, DBJAG) but I think it gets a bad rep, or the people who dislike it are very vocal because I think it's 50/50 split in the fanbase and you either love it or hate it. I'm going to try and make a more conscious effort to stream it and listen to those songs because I really think the album will get better with time and fans will grow to appreciate it more ala Honeymoon.
 
BUT I did absolutely loved BB and still frequent it these days, I think it's showcased some of her most delicate and transparent lyrical moments of her career and I am so grateful she decided to share those songs. Title track, WW, BBS, Beautiful, Living Legend, Text Book, Cherry Blossom...all immaculate beautiful tracks with so much emotion and heart in them. It's not fair this album gets critiqued quite a bit for having youtube rip leaks like it's not fair someone leaked all of her material and she really loved those songs and so do we so I am happy they were attached to a project that I felt was rather cohesive and really was like she was telling a story with the track list and it's like UV's more hopeful sister in a way.
 
Just my random thoughts. Lana is an amazing songwriter and she has been doing this for so long! I trust and more importantly respect her artistic vision and decisions. I will always be a listener.

as much as i hate sean and love railing on him, going to his IG and commenting & messaging is still really fucking shitty and in the most extreme cases makes you just as shitty as him
i swear that a certain subset of redacted's don't even experience any positive emotion they just love to be hateful and bitter all the time to the point where they will literally attack people
like even i'm sideeyeing these people lana hasn't even fucking said anything (and that still wouldn't make it acceptable) just like mind your own fucking business, rail about him on LB or reddit but do it in a lana space or a private space don't go to his page and do it that's just stupid

when I found this I literally snorted

Do you think this coverage will help the hype in a good way? 
let Lanita have her dollars  

my manager at work asked me about it bc I am a huge lana Stan and I constantly talk about her... had not mentioned this... 
its definitely getting the attention of the  general public 😂

Thinking about how I was doing a search for this album earlier today and found our LB bestie's fake cover listed as the actual cover on a music website pls your impact

let her do what she's fucking doing

Was looking at Lana's iTunes page to see the album covers next to each other and like it really hit me that I've been a fan for almost 12 years. 
 
I've literally been there for every pre-release era of each album, that's crazy. Ocean Blvd is making me so emotional already lol.

ben is in the walls of Lanaboards fr 

The way this flute arrangement is about to mysteriously vanish after you posting this 

Not this dude trying to gain sum coins from the LDR credit again

This b.s even takes the new release slot of "Ocean Blvd" on her main spotify page. This is a sabotage, someone please inform Ben / Ed ASAP.

A new acronym!!!!
 
Bitches All Want Pussy Serves!!!!  A bop incoming!!

I don't want to jinx it, but I have a very strong feeling that Pitchfork will give this one a score higher than Norman. Maybe even a 10. Everything is just shaping up to be an incredible, game-changing album.

cruel world, honeymoon, NFR, hope, white dress, terrence loves you
 
all gave me absolute chills for days the first time i heard them

West Coast, Honeymoon, and Venice Bitch—hands down! 
 
The Greatest also really hit me the first time I heard it. Something was in the air the summer preceding NFR’s release. I feel like that was the last hurrah of our world in so many ways - but I also feel that more of the goodness of that time is on the horizon! ☀️🌈💫

If you could pick any one Lana song to hear for the very first time again what would it be? 
 
 
Personally I would do anything to hear Brooklyn Baby for the first time again. It truly is a masterpiece lyrically and structurally 

In fact it’s like we’re encountering that girl from the UV cover almost 10 years later and she’s inviting us to her bedroom to whisper her secrets to us. It feels very full-circle in a way 

it’s just me, sorry 

Lana please announce a music video for fuxk sake the song is doing sooo well on streaming platforms 

if we don't get information soon, I think I'll die of anxiety. 

you are a person of taste.

Blue Banisters is actually a masterpiece in my opinion, if you can put the unreleased and outtakes aside (which tbf is something only the die hard fans would be aware of) and just look at it as a full body of work, it's seriously beautiful and it deserves more respect 

Without blue banisfucks we wouldntve gotten our beautiful tunnel song
