Baby Ruth

i love beautiful and violets for roses i see on here many people dont like those songs but i think theyre really pretty and sweet and a little bit somber and i cant stop listening to them 

Coachella has potential imo. I think if it had production like TNC, it'd be way higher on my LFL ranking because I get what she was going for lyrically, it just could've been executed better. 

The problem is that cheap instrumental with these deep thoughts together. Acoustic guitar (and a crackling camp fire) is all this song needs.
She did better with Looking for America.

I love This Is What Makes Us Girls 

This logic is so weird. I'm assuming you don't listen to any leaked songs considering they're "an invasion of lana's privacy"?
 

Is it? Is it really though?
 
Anyway, Lana did an interview with BHMAGAZINO in 2014 where she revealed she was suffering from gastric ulcers, which is probably what this was:
”I’m on tour in America since the first days of April, it’s the first time I play so many shows and everything goes exceptionally well. These past two years I don’t feel very well physically, I suffer from gastric ulcer, but I can make it through concerts who’s capacity can be over 9,000 people. I smoke, I drink a lot of coffee. I eat chocolate and pizza. My way of living when I’m not on tour isn’t that right.”
 
In the same interview, she also mentioned suffering with depression as well:
”I feel like I make happy songs, but when others listen to them, they think they’re sad. I can’t escape from my life, which has been wavy. Three years after my debut album, I’m still suffering from self-doubt and depression. Ahead of me there’s uncertainty and a feeling of emptiness. I don’t like it when I don’t know where I’m going. My love life, my family – are so fragile. I’m not sure of anything.”

this woman never stops recording (not complaining!)

Why is literally every thread turning into a hostile piano/song debate what the fuck 

To be fair, Rob was involved in BB despite Lana sh*t talking his wife and saying that he turned his back while his daughter was being abused. Slutty bops are not off the table!

lol there's no way that's happening. 

It confuses me that people in general prefer the first half of LFL, I definitely prefer the second half it’s like some of her best work! 

Yeah, if Lust for Life didn't have those three or four cringe songs in the middle of the album (IMF, Coachella, WTWWAW and GBA (to a lesser extent, I would have still kept this one), and included Roses Bloom For You, Yosemite + Best American Record, it would be one of her best

Do Not Come
Her edging anthem
 

He used three keys on the piano instead of his usual two 

i wish jack never used the word bombastic 

I heard from an insider that every song on the album actually features a 10 minute rap from Jack talking about pine trees 

imo every song on bb individually are so good, but together as an album it’s just so random

I think people should stop equating critical acclaim with superior music. Just like they should stop equating awards with talent.
 
NFR is her most accessible work to date, I don't get why some of you guys get up in arms about that. Doesn't mean it's bad or that it sucks, just means that as far as music or lyric style goes it's her most accesible or palatable album thus far, even Chemtrails wasn't as subdued or watered down, much less Blue Banisters. Which partly explains their moderate success.
 
Y'all  act as if before Jack came along Lana was nothing, she had no vision, her creative process was subpar or even uninteresting, her albums weren't so good or whatever and I think that's bullshit. Jack didn't make her better, he made her more accesible. 
 
Quite frankly tired of people acting like NFR is the gold standard of albums and whatever came prior or will come after (even if produced by Jack) will pale in comparison to cRiTaCalLy aCcLaiMed NFR. Please.
 
Lana was a full fledged artist long before Jack came along and she will long after as well. 
 

No attack but you made this sound as if that's a fact when it's mostly true for the mainstream media. NFR is (in my opinion!) in no way the peak of her career musically. UV and Honeymoon (and also AKA) are. They have yet to be dethroned. The only reason why NFR is so popular is because Lana was trying to be more mainstream and was also trying to be "insta baddie" which attracted more casual listeners. The album and Lana herself were palatable and "easy to digest" at the time. But I personally don't need that. I actually came for the cinematography, the richness, the dark and controversial lyrics.
So if the new album exceeds NFR that's great but to me that wouldn't automatically make it a new career highlight.
 
Again, this is MY opinion but I'm sure that many longtime fans don't see NFR as her best album to date either.
And tbh - I don't give a shit about what the mainstream media and casual listeners think of her music or lyrics. I understand Lana would care (although not sure if she really does tbh) but I don't. I don't want anything careful, I want the full fucking drama. No Grammy needed.

I agree with you that she defines the musical main direction of the album. But I also think that he creatively influences her - e.g. contributes his own ideas, shows interesting songs or writes melodies for her.
 
After all, we know what was at the beginning of NFR, when she wasn‘t even in the mood to write new songs: he surprised her with a melody and that‘s when she started getting a vision for NFR. So it is probably a mutual process.

So it's Lorde's fault if her albums aren't great but it's Jack's when Lana's aren't? Interesting take
I'd say it's 50/50 artist/producer but the point is he's not some musical magician 

The LB blame game
 

They’re at Jim Henson Studios where they’ve worked on songs together in the past such as White Dress, Venice Bitch, The Greatest, and How Disappear x

So what I'm hearing is we're in for the serve of the century  

Why does everyone forget that Jack did NFR and COCC
Melo and Solar Power
He is hit and miss, quite frankly
I just don't think he's the genius people make him out to be; his own music fucking sucks 
But I'm glad they're having fun and that she found someone she clearly enjoys working with
