  1. My order was shipped Can't wait to blast the album on my cd player
  2. Yesss. Death by Rock and Roll was one of my favorite albums from 2021, but that cover I love Taylor Momsen, but I'm not buying it
  3. Is it normal to have my order duplicated like that?
  4. We didn't have a scat attack this era. That's why we're not getting any news. Halsey fans, do something

    @melodrama thoughts on everything?
  6. After streaming platforms, I usually only buy albums that I really like or that I like the cover. I'm the Queen of buying useless stuff only because I found it pretty. Superficial, but that's how I do. Especially because I'm not a consumerist. I always ask myself if I need something or if I just want it before buying. So my shop for "pretty things" or useless stuff is always on my birthday or Christmas to gift myself. The only reason that I buy records that I really like, it's to save them for my kids and for not be too dependent on technology. I usually only buy 2 or 3 records per year, so I have to be highly critical to narrow down my list (especially because they are not cheap on my country)
  7. At least we're having a concept. Do I like it? No, I don't. Am I going to buy the physical copy? Also no, because I'm not obligated to look to that hideous cover It's better accept than stress over something that we can't change
  8. Finished my first listen and those are my initial impressions: ADIAML - One of my favorites. The message is very 60's and 70's, something that I was missing from today's music. Only the beats that are kinda repetitive and the sound doesn't evolve. It's too square compared with the songs from her previous albums. 7/10 VFT - The millionairess line killed the song for me. It's a little bit meritocratic and meritocracy only works in stabilized societies. It could have been a cute song about the law of action and reaction, but it was ruined when she inserted monetary compensation, even if it was just a line. 8/10 MW - I didn't like it when it first came out, but with the album context is a highlight. I felt that it lacked some organic instrument within the instrumental in some parts. 9/10 PTP - It's less square than ADIAML. Fun song, some people may found tone deaf. 8/10 HEP - She killed the song putting between PTP and NA. I think that it would fit better next to MW. I see myself crying to this song when I feel overwhelmed by my emotions. 9/10 NA - It's the less square upbeat track. The superficiality is what makes this song top-notch. It's like telling a joke with some truth in it. This song needs a music video, but I don't think that Marina has the budget for it. The national anthem in some part of the song (maybe at the end????) could have been a nice touch (cliché, but it's Marina. Cliché works for her). 9/10 PB - Cute song, with a lot of emotional luggage to unpack. 8/10 ILYBILMM - This replaced A Whole Lotta Woman on my break-up playlist 7/10 Flowers - I would put this song before ILYBILMM. Calm instrumental and my favorite conjunct (sonically) from the whole record. 9/10 Goodbye - My favorite track. Marina's last tracks are always my faves, don't know why. I feel like I'm listening to a song extracted from a musical and I love it. 8/10 Overall: It's definitely one of my favorite records of 2021. I love the political tracks, even though it's too much on the nose. The only problem is that I feel like I'm listening to 2 different records. The tracks and subjects don't flow well together. I think that I could have enjoyed it more if ILYBILMM and Flowers were replaced by Pink Convertible and Happy Loner (maybe I'm Not Hungry Anymore?). The only reason why it's not messy, it's because Marina was always camp and this style suits her. So even that the tracks feel displaced, it still feels like a Marina album. Those are just my initial impressions, because I only listened to the record once. It all can change in a day or even in an hour. Overall score: 74, 8
  9. I thought about something completely different
  10. I thought that she already did that with UV cover, but Lana likes to take things to next level... The fans are the ones who suffer from her pettiness

  12. I'm convinced that the majority of the fans don't even care anymore. They'll say that we don't understand Lana's artistry, that she's trying to be minimalist and intimate. That's what I get from other stans in twitter, FB, Reddit and tik tok. The annoying teens that started to stan after Norman are going to defend her forever
  13. Let's stream Solar Power for positivity and clear skin

    The music video is just like Midsommar, but make it beach? Creepy cult vibes from everything, but I'm living it
  15. It's better than what she's been serving, so I'm manifesting
  16. POV: It's 4th of July and the only news from Lana is the same selphie, but with a negative filter:
  17. Simple and aesthetically pleasing Lana take notes
  18. Sis again pretending that Honeymoon doesn't exist
  19. Olivia is cute. Let the new generation have fun with her. She seems to work hard and she's just a teen. I would love her music in middle school
