HeyBlueBaby

I had to stop listening to COCC because I don't want to spoil it before release and I want my plays to count in my iTunes - but Yosemite, DBJAG and White Dress are stuck in my head so bad

How so? Based on streams? Please post the stats if you have them, I'd like to see! Chemtrails is such a flawless song though - one of her best imo. The verses, the hook, the chorus

TBH

What did she possess in 2016 that she doesn't anymore? Her recent scandals are cringeworthy, and I really have no comment on them at this time. I'm sure Lana was proud to release Born To Die under a major label and get the push she deserved and was able to refine her aesthetic and give us some great moments, but that doesn't mean she wasn't struggling personally. She was awkward and cute and shy because she was new in the industry and was just learning to navigate her way through it. In that process and with the release on Born To Die, critics were really rude to her and it made her even more of a recluse. UV is a big "fuck you" to her naysayers, but even that era drew heavy criticism for her, which is probably why Honeymoon got even less promo. Most stans know this, but this post makes me believe you don't. If the problem is promotion ie surplus visual content, TV interviews and performances get it elsewhere. Lana has predominantly been promoting her music through pure sales, online promo, streaming and print since Ultraviolence. As far as her being Hollywood, she does not sell perfume, make up, skin care, jock straps, Oreo's, etc. She's naturally immersed with Hollywood but she has never been a Top 40 artist like Lady Gaga. So please sis. Anyway I would love for her to do more stuff like Honeymoon.

Complaining about visuals is silly. I guess I understand because Born To Die was both visually and musically stimulating, but she's always been about the music first. She said this herself in an interview, the music comes first, and the visuals come after. UV/HM/NFR are flawless records. UV/HM gave great album imagery and good music videos. I personally enjoy all 3 UV videos and the HM videos are cute. NFR was actually a step up in the visual department with Fuck It, The Greatest and Doin Time. The laid back video series she did for Bartender, Norman and whatever other song was lowkey a disappointment but like I said Lana Del Rey is about the music. I'm honestly so hype for Chemtrails and hate the negativity surrounding this release. Chemtrails is FANTASTIC, LMYLAW is a dud for me, but I'm excited for the other songs.

I was just talking about this song earlier! It's my favorite from that section of the album. The bridge is great.

Dark Paradise, Guns and Roses I always loved Honeymoon, but listening to it on acid by myself was such an experience and I was able to hear every sound of each song and that just made me fall in love with it even more. Songs I didn't play as much like 24, Salvatore and Swan Song became my favorites. Love everything else she's done. Also, Coachella has always been a bop and the hate for it is blasphemous.

Ultraviolence > Honeymoon > Norman Fucking Rockwell > Lust For Life > Born To Die > AKA > Paradise
