Shades of Cool vs Religion

ughh though one Hope vs God Knows I Tried

Well Violet really deserves it (although I don't know who else was nominated), what's odd is that it could be her first Grammy award while mainly being a singer/songwriter, not even a bad thing! Just interesting. I'm sure she'll get awarded for an album someday (COTCC AOTY wbk).

I think expressing yourself through art is a great healing method, so if she's in a state similar to those years, I'm sure this album and the poetry can really help her getting things off her chest.

Heroin vs 13 Beaches

Violet is really an important piece of her whole artistic vision, like, we've always heard her talking about becoming a poet and doing what she loves the most! So now that she finally achieves that we shouldn't treat Violet as something minor or unimportant, in fact, I believe Norman's actual sister is Violet and I'm so looking forward to both Chemtrails and their sibling Behind The Iron Gates! I can only imagine how good those two would complement each other

Yayo (AKA) vs Riverside

Mermaid Motel vs Every Man Gets His Wish

Okay! Since we started with unpopular album opinions here are some of mine: BTD: Blue Jeans is very hyped, still a great song though. Without You should've been in the standard edition and it would've been a better single than Blue Jeans was. Diet Mountain Dew feels like it belongs to AKA and so does Lolita, good songs but I don't see how they fit in with the rest of the album. Paradise: a masterpiece, she could take a break from albums and still release EPs from time to time because this one is one of her most cohesive releases she has put out there

I like NFR but out of all Lana's work did it really have to be the most critically acclaimed? Having the general public not appreciating her other stuff that much (besides BTD) feels like such a let down imo.

It's a nice song and I don't think it's repetitive like some say it is (it's actually hard for me to find a Lana song I don't like) but it really feels like so many outtakes could use its place in the album. Also with how big of a sound all of UV had it kinda feels like it's missing something?

i don't see a lot of Jump appreciation, it's a catchy and funny song and one of my personal favorites from AKA. besides in the video there's some clips that clearly are an inspiration for West Coast's video! it's always cool to see how she translates her pre-Lana work into her latest stuff.

Yeah I was trying to keep the same number of tracks on each version

Maybe erase Guns And Roses from existence? I feel like you could put Flipside in it's place and maybe add Fine China where Flipside originally is? Would feel a lot more cohesive having Is This Happiness and a song similar to it next.

I never really got into 'Get Free' since the whole Radiohead controversy and how awkward it all seemed to me...until I gave it a chance a couple of months ago and yeah, now it's tied with 'Heroin' for me and I think it's her best album closer for how good it transitions to NFR.

I really can't remember who mentioned it in another thread, but she should cover Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights, it can be a nice opportunity to show off her vocal range (Cola comes to mind) and also the song kinda talks about a 'reuniting with a lost lover' kinda story (I'd recommend reading Emily Brontë's book that inspires the song if you are into classics!) that might be similar to Bel Air, Dark Paradise and some parts of Young and Beautiful.

I absolutely prefer the album version of How To Disappear, not only is obviously more polished but it has some lo-fi elements production-wise, matching well with Love song's instrumentation. Also if we had the piano version on the album y'all would be complaining about too many piano ballads

Yeah I shouldn't really make a statement based on a low quality video lol. Yesterday's picture is clearer as you said. Agree on the behaviour part, she really should say something about all of this and clarify this mess.

idk if I'm going blind or it's the clip's shitty quality but I can kinda see something behind the mask? Also the angle makes the mask appear with a certain thickness to it, so yeah. Maybe I'm being hopeful I can't handle this era

Really this era's flower crowns

Two legends united, LB would be on fire

Lolita vs Summer Bummer

Boom Like That vs Brite Lites

FIILY vs Queen of the Gas Station

I really get fucking anxious being in a car going at speeds even a little higher than normal, so yeah, watching that was a torture (including the Eminem thing ).
