Why are we hating on songs we haven't yet heard in studio quality from an album we've been eagerly waiting for since September 5

even if i don't end up liking BUS, i figure it'll be worth the wait. experiencing the album without snippets is just what i prefer (even though i've listened to TJF snippet.... lol), and considering that the "snippet" of BUS is more like 2/3 of the song, i think i'd rather experience it within the context of the album....  also considering it was live, and the production is likely not going to be the same, i want to hear it fresh and THEN experience the live version to compare  
 
so even if i hate it, i want to hear it within the album and see what surrounds it and makes it stronger 

I'd say one of the mysterious tracks in the middle of it such as dark but just a game or not all who wander are lost are going to unexpectedly stand out in a general consensus

Nothing I hate more than when she drops a random fuck bomb or "bitch" for no reason. Cursing doesn't equate to being personal 

I honestly don't think this album will have her catering towards the mainstream media, like at all. I think it just happened to not be explicit, without any intention too. And Honeymoon only has one explicit song (High By The Beach) and its her most authentic, least mainstream album.

there's not an explicit version so i wonder if there's just no metadata showing one song or another being explicit or if this was her last album that's trying to fit into mainstream media more-- to be more radio or family friendly. and it makes me wonder if she's going to start writing the next album with less holdback again, similar to other albums shes made, since the QFTC. because to me, i was expecting the album to be explicit, and with knowing it's not, that doesn't mean she won't chronicle some of the submissive or abusive things she's been through, but i would think it would make her swear more like Cruel World. 
 
Also, what does that mean for drug references? Do drug references make songs explicit? Do they get those tags on iTunes? bc i could see the lines "it made me feel... made me feel like a god" being some sort of reference to Disco, "i am my only god goddamn" which she also mentions prostitution and those same lines could also reference some sort of drug

right? like i get that some people felt influenced by her lyrics but there's a difference between dreaming or thinking about something and really doing it. You can fantasize about something or play it in your head knowing that you would never do it in real life, i can play a scenario in my head listening to some lyrics but i know i won't do that, if you get an instant desire for doing the things that you're listening and then you really go and do those things in your real life, that's probably an inner problem and the lyrics can maybe bring up your issue, but it's not like lana made you do those things or something like that lmao, you can't blame an artist's work for leading you to do things that came from an inner and personal problem imo

That was not my experience with her music neither, i was 14 when btd came out and i started listening to her, i never ever wanted to do anything that she talked about in her lyrics, i knew how to separate her art and my own life, i read a viral tweet weeks ago saying "lana del rey had us girls wanting to be k*dnapped in a gas station by a gang member at 13 y/o and y'all thought she was normal" tbh, if you wanted to be k*dnapped by listening to lana's music at 13 you may had big issues to be treated that aren't even remotely related to her or her influence and i mean this in the most respectful way, i know some people may was influenced by her and her lyrics, and her music may not be the best example to young people at that moment but on the other hand, i think every artist should be able to express anything through their art even if it's not always politically correct. She has some problematic lyrics yes, but i don't think it was anything more than a girl in her twenties with a fascination for lolita, the 50s and maybe some kinky stuff.

y’all act like you weren’t bopping to lolita singing about older men when u were all fourteen like as if that was all of your literal personas at the time, now y’all wanna be fake woke! as if you didn’t base your whole personality on this shit in 2011.
 
the tweet was obviously a very non pc joke, but if you guys wanna act the fools like u weren’t buying those lil dolores ass crop tops tryna be 90s lolita the remix...try it

Lmaooo and people be like "i want the old non PC Lana back :(" she'd be blacklisted so quick

The novel "Lolita" doesn't concern a paedophile, it deals with H.H's hebephilia (hence why he doesn't want anyone younger, it's a specific age range).
 
Also, the entire Off to the Races is a "Lolita" reference. For almost every line of the song, I can think of something in the novel.

I'd so watch a T&T marathon with Lana, it's my guilty pleasure and everyone I know thinks it's weird as hell    I don't think she's pro-anything, she sounds like she's a bit into (the idea of) age-play, being a 'little girl' perverted innocence etc. etc. just very Lolita-ish stuff, but not involving actual children. 
 
I understand pedophilia is a very heated topic, but personally I direct all that anger towards actual child molesters. What's in the mind stays in the mind. 

If one takes the whole Lolita thing at face value, I agree that it can be creepy.
 
But context matters. Lana is an adult woman who clearly has always liked older men (I gots a taste for men who are older / It's always been so it's no surprise) and probably enjoys a certain amount of age play, who's singing about her own experiences (real or imagined). To say that equals promoting paedophilia is just absolutely idiotic to me.
 
I also don't understand what's the point of these "opinion" pieces such as the article in question. They seem to assume that song lyrics' purpose in life is to promote certain lifestyles, ideals & philosophies, and that only those deemed acceptable and politically correct should be written and sung about. So... are they suggesting censorship, or...?

That article is one of the most retarded shit I've ever read. No, scratch that, skimmed over. So she likes the younger woman / older man dynamics, so fucking what? And how that tweet is even an issue I sincerely do not even know.

the person who wrote that article though 
 
she's obviously not pro-pedophilia, she's just into ageplay and dd/lg. it's her kink  

Today I was so bored that I read the most random forums ever. Those made me curious about Lana's birth chart and horoscope. 
Apparently the prevision for her today (monday) is this:
 
"This influence indicates the beginning of a new cycle of growth and progress. However, it is often the focus of exaggerated expectations. You may expect sudden windfalls, great wealth or luck, and all kinds of wonderful opportunities. And these things do happen sometimes with this influence, but most people should expect more subtle, but equally useful effects.
  Events now, such as meetings with persons or even changes in your psyche, open the way for you to become wiser and more mature and to have a broader understanding of the world. At this time you will reach out consciously and unconsciously and ask more of the world, but at the same time you are willing to give more to the world.
 
This influence can make you feel either more demanding or more giving toward others, but you are not likely to get much out of it if you think only of what you can get. The law of conservation of energy in the universe says that you can transform the energies in your life from one form to another, but you cannot create them out of nothing. This influence represents a time when you should see whether you are doing that in your life.
 
Concretely, you can expect persons who are good for you to come into your life. Or circumstances will arise that give you increased freedom or an opportunity to do something that you have never done before. Educational opportunities may come to you at this time, or a chance to travel. Sometimes this influence does in fact bring about financial advantage, but you should not sit around passively waiting for it to happen. This is an excellent time to invest or expand in business as long as you are very careful not to overdo it or overextend yourself."
 
Maybe she will release WD today (monday)?

I hate 80% of the aesthetic in Ride's music video.
 
I only like the scenes were she's wearing a dress
