You said what I thought. The house clip does not look like her house clips that she knew how to do so well, maybe the iPhone filter too high quality or her face which does not show any more emotions? We add the fact that it is quite overplayed and that makes the video really artificial, quite contrary to what she wanted to do. The fingers are not at all useful, she is not rebellious and this song is not here. It will appeal to his younger stans but I don't see the point of all that, it makes the video a little embarrassing. As a bonus, the video doesn't match the song at all, it could have done something more subtle. Little by little, she becomes a caricature of herself.

Really agree with that. Even Guns and Roses which is not my favorite remains so much more instrumental and lyrically interesting than its last texts, Ultraviolence remains an absolute masterpiece and it hurts to see that she's remains in a comfort while doing the minimum. Exactly, not everything has been really good since Chemtrails and it is not for lack of trying to deeply appreciate her work. BB's little trilogy had potential, I like WW but it's still weak. I think her new producers give him too much freedom and don't dare to give her directions because it's Lana, they are intimidated. Result Lana thinks she has a lot of experience and is mature enough to carry out her projects and go where she wants with confidence, but that doesn't come, we feel that not everything that comes out of her is really good. She needs a good musical team that leads her so that she does not go wrong (and incidentally new friends, less Karen). I hope this is only a phase.

You're right, I really like it when you say that she sings her diary and some things should stay private, kind of like she's the center of the world after all. The story with LA haha I thought about it too, it's the best to describe the United States in an avant-garde way but her lyrics for a while are super boring and don't mean anything. And when we have nothing more to say in depth, we should think of changing the theme or incorporating "her" LA in a less coarse and more subtle way in the songs.

Thank you and it's good that many of us share this

It's been a while since I last came here for lack of time, but I'm back, and it's good to see you again. As for Lana I followed a bit what she did this summer and I was happy to see that she was doing well and all these beautiful selfies, these covers and Blue Banisters finally with a date of the beautiful visuals, that's great. She has always been beautiful but I love how the photos are really pretty and worked out. And the picture of Barrie they were the perfect couple, I'm glad she didn't shut the door on this guy, he looks so cool and sweet. Well I'm going to repeat myself with my long text boring, but I was once again honest about what I learned from Arcadia: As for Arcadia well it's a good title but it's still light years away from Video games as she described it. Although I liked the 3 titles released, I am really fed up with piano vocals, she can do so much better. The outro is original that said, I liked it. So yes it's beautiful, it's slow, Lana Del Rey in her lust, it's perfect for her fans to make aesthetic videos with it, but I found that to be an abysmal void. It's really empty. The clip is cool but we are far from the authenticity of his old home made which had something more in the scenarios, the effort which made them so fascinating and interesting. In addition, this video seems to me to have been shot during the Chemtrails era (hairstyle and makeup) so no effort to dissociate the 2 eras. She is at the point where she knows that the critics will give her a 10 because they do not like daring and prefer very clean songs, flat without risk, so she does not bother anymore and besides why she would do ? She has understood that she no longer needs to make efforts to sell. She writes what she has in mind and does her clips anyhow, she knows she will always have applause and that's a problem. Lana is unfortunately better with big orchestrations and without all that you feel it's pretty empty, elevator music (and I like it a lot). It's redundant and boring, I like her old computer guitar demos, it doesn't have the same flavor. I know she's not on the same musical level anymore but it's pretty pretentious to say that her new music is really good when she does. I'm really waiting for the day she wakes up. I know Blue Banisters will be very beautiful, but once again I'm afraid of something forgettable and drowned among the thousands of piano voices she has done her last few times, and the worst thing is that everyone looks to like it and not realize the mess it makes available to us... I'm waiting for the album to see how it all comes off, she's an artist who can surprise. Warning: I still love her and she owes me nothing, but I think I'm crumpled because it's been 3 years since I really liked a song from her 100%, don't take this text as a hateful thing. It's okay, go hit me

Blue Banisters - Pre-Pre-Release Thread
sunday afternoon replied to Elle's topic in Retired Pre-Release Threads
It's very excessive yeah. Billie is nothing special. She is just the teenage singer of the moment who hits the mark because she is "alternative" and "different" from pop artists but she is on the same layer. And 5 Grammys for this artist I still can't digest. Her music is really basic, but at a point... I don't understand her success. And all the artists who keep citing her as a reference saying she's really good, bullshit. Nobody dares to tell the truth because it's the fashion to say that Billie is a genius, but her music is nothing extraordinary. She just fell at the right time with the right team and the relationships did the rest. I try to love but I can't. Her ASMR voice is excruciatingly annoying, although the instrumentals are interesting, this way of singing ruins everything. We can confuse her among many indie artists buried on Bandcamp. That said, I have nothing against Billie the girl, she looks nice and quite simple at heart. Lana - although I didn't like NFR too much - would have deserved these Grammys to cover her prolific career, but also her high quality songs and her universe that inspired all post 2012 alt / pop / internet artists. Her songs are so tall, so beautiful, she is a great artist. It's frustrating, she's really become a benchmark over the years. When Young and Beautiful was released I would have bet that she would have had this trophy, well no, and today in 2021 Lana still hasn't had many trophies to my taste. Like what it is not the musical quality that prone in this environment. I think she will get a Grammy but it will always be too late, she released some incredible albums. I can understand her frustration on the one hand. -
Yes I remember now!
-
Pray that she sees your message
-
Waw I like it a lot! She would have made a perfect cover, she would have confused the fans less because more "Marina" with her hair
-
I can't remember for Superstar and Orange trees, I thought there was no official? I added some fan made which are pretty. Yes I agree, she is elegant but it is true that we have known a more colorful and fun Marina. It bothered me at first and then I learned to appreciate her, I tell myself that she is finally beautiful. Okay for Handmade Heaven, they could have made an effort.
-
I'm redoing the artist discography right now and lost all the Florence bonus demos I found years ago I was disgusted. Thank you very much for uploading these little treasures.
-
Marina has a problem with the remixes because they are not great, even the ones from Electra Heart. It's a shame but it should not be made for that. Nevertheless she is nice to have thought of her fans who have been clamoring for a collaboration with an alternative pop artist for a while, Tove Lo is not Grimes but she has a good quality in her songs. She has tried and continues to promote in her own way, she does not give up despite the unwarranted rejection of her album.
-
Tove Lo has a pretty remarkable pop quality I find, the production is always on top. Personally, I don't like the way she promotes vulgar sex and debauchery parties on almost all of her songs. The remix is useless, the least worst of this era but at least as someone said here she tried.
-
I like the cover too. Simple but effective, Marina is elegant on it. The content would have deserved less generic songs. It reassures me that I'm not the only one who thinks these singles clearly deserved separate covers.
-
It's a very beautiful song but I find the melancholy to be overplayed and sometimes I don't really like how Lana sings, I think she could have been better if she would have been natural in her singing. But I like it and when I run into it I listen to it and it makes you really sad.
-
Not better but really good, it also stands out from the other albums, it has a really vintage / American motel vibe. An album to play in summer in front of the sea. Oh yes ! This title is hated because there is rap but I really find it, Lana is captivating. Perfect for summer.

Blue Banisters - Pre-Pre-Release Thread
sunday afternoon replied to Elle's topic in Retired Pre-Release Threads
The album was due out on a Sunday. The 4th is a day when people don't work and party in the United States. Lana is spending time with her family and arguably looking for a new boyfriend. Chuck just had a baby 3 days ago. I think she's at her sister's bedside and having a party at home. Honestly, she's lucky her record company didn't fire her, a few years ago she would have been afraid to do that. -
I admit that the management is a real disaster Quite disrespectful coming from his label, they are not well organized.
-
Without doubt the worst reissue I have heard in a long time. She disappoints me so much it's crazy! How to spoil a birthday in the hearts of fans, seriously, it's really bad. No effort, nothing at all. It's so bad that we don't even hear about it is to say how proud she is... The covers are uninteresting and add absolutely nothing to the album (TEOG I like but it's not crazy either, Kylie Minogue, whom I like a lot, missed MTN). Born this way is a great album with a whole lot of amazing material from that period so I can't understand why she dared to publish this stuff. I expected a lot better, and once again releasing some unreleased songs, photos, anecdotes and all that would have cost her nothing, she is just lazy, disrespectful and annoying at the moment. If it was to post that, you might as well tweet and that's it. She has really changed anyway, she doesn't care about her fans anymore, money making machine

Her album is fantastic, what power. Marina ♥ and her concert in the desert was impressive.

Blue Banisters - Pre-Pre-Release Thread
sunday afternoon replied to Elle's topic in Retired Pre-Release Threads
I knew she wouldn't release this album, Lana is not the queen of promises. It seemed obvious to me that this album is compromised because she released Chemtrails only 4 months ago, I know she is productive but the production cannot go as fast as her ideas. It takes time to plan an album, design it, develop it, communication, photos all that, I think the lapse of time was too short, then her last days we see her spending time with her family and friends , we feel that work is not her priority. It's true that it annoys me too, Lana is someone who has something in mind and is going to swing it like that, except that she doesn't really keep her promises and she happens to make fans hope. (more and more impatient because her work is of a high quality) who bet everything on a date and ultimately nothing happens. That's what happened with the mv that were supposed to be released and that she never released. It's annoying but she knows we're loyal, the bitch. With Lana you have to wait for nothing and let things happen. She gave us so many songs and materials that we can really listen to a lot of great music and wait. Even though she produces a lot, she is not a machine and if she wants to rest she does. I hope that in the future she will stop giving dates to create an unnecessary hype because even if she does not give them people do not forget her. She's gained so much of a solid fan core in a short period of time it's pretty crazy. Lots of followers because his work is the best on the market. And there are so many leaks that Lana is there all the time. She can be forgotten and throw away her album without saying anything. I listen to the 3 singles recently released and I must admit that I like them a lot now, they are interesting. WW has a fabulous build that reminds me of Ultraviolence, if she's going to release an album in that style then I would really love her next album to be shot like WW with these foggy guitars. -
I'm going to do a lot but I can understand those who don't like BTD as we grew up and people aren't impressed with Lana's young and wild American anymore, but this album from my 28-year-old remains the most iconic to this day. It's excellent, it's a classic. It doesn't sound dated or overproduced to me. It is such a special album that it cannot be linked to any other. There is a real journey on it, all the titles could have been hits if she wanted to. It defines Lana and her entire universe, and that's what we're all here for. If she would have released Chemtrails on her first album I don't think she would have had as much of an impact on the music world, and on us. This record earned her fame and her great career. Like Ultraviolence, it was a perfect era. Chuck did her best photos there, Lana was wild and her unique performances, the promotion, the videos on the tv, you know all that. She embraced without shame this somewhat misunderstood universe against a background of musical perfection. And then, this is the beginning of her demonstrations and her great talent as "Lana Del Rey". BTD is perfect, it will never get old. I'm not even talking about Paradise which is a cut above. A real treasure that a lot of fans reject because it is more obvious and pop, and yet this Lana is good, she really has to come back to something more obvious. Too bad for the anti-pop elitists.

Hit me but I never liked Lorde I find her condescending face and her voice monotonous (i know it's wrong to judge personality and physique) i tried. PURE HEROINE was a very good album I admit with beautiful and powerful songs for its age. But something bothers me in her voice that I sometimes find soulless, not exceptional. The excellent production really saves the fact that her voice irritates me. Melodrama I did not manage to enter. I want to love but I can't. The cover of SP appealed to me, I find it quite vulgar but surprising coming from her who has never taken this kind of photos. I'm going to listen to her next record but I find that Lorde is overpriced like Billie Eillish, we do too much with her, she does not have an extraordinary universe that stands out from the others but that's only my opinion.

The Venus Fly Trap video is one of her best. She is beautiful, the clip is short but there is so much going on that you can't get bored! The song is not one of my favorites, but the title is really good and goes very well with the rest of the album. This way of rising from the ashes, Marina did. You couldn't ask for more. It is perfect for the retro and modern atmosphere! Let's move on to the album that is FINALLY released today. So what can I say, unsurprisingly I knew this album would be very good and it is. I am so happy to find her again, the effort she has made for us is incredible. We go through all of Marina's phases here: happy, committed, neon, a little rocker, melancholic, light, sad and perfectionist. She lives in California but she will always remain that colorful and original little englishwoman who conquered us over 10 years ago, notice here. I would like to underline the excellent production of each track, chosen, rearranged, we feel that she has put her heart, time and pride into this record in which no track is to be thrown away. FROOT's little sister. And thank you for incorporating beautiful guitars, bass, to believe that in 2021 there are no more instruments in pop music. My only complaints will be its length and the number of songs (too short) but the most perfect albums are also the shortest aren't they? The lyrics sometimes wobbly but I don't blame her for that because we know that she has changed since L + F, she continues to be consistent in her work as an artist and that is what matters most. The lyrics about her breakup are heartbreaking, when we know she struggled to save Goodbye The quality is at the rendezvous and it did not disappoint us. I like this way of taking a step back and listening to the opinions of the fans to improve and give everything. My new favorite song here is I love you ... it's really a Marina that reminds me of I'm a ruin that touched me so much in 2015, it's a pretty sad feeling that I have with that. Everything is perfect here. Probably the best album of this year, she did a good job. If Lana could be this passionate and enthusiastic but I wouldn't cry if she released a boring record, Marina is there.

Lana and Rob at Craig's in West Hollywood, CA - June 10th, 2021
sunday afternoon replied to Elle's topic in Sightings
I also noticed... I doubt she ever got engaged. It was just rumors
