been saying it for years. lana should release an album that's all of her most depraved fucked up songs just to see how people would react.

This album is so slow like it moves like a glacier. But I also think it's pretty gorgeous in a messy, very personal way. Lana is so intimate, it's like she tells you her darkest secrets but you still don't really know who she is. Let's rewrite history, I'll do this dance with you... There's a hole that's in my heart all my women try and heal They're doin' a good job convincin' me that it's not real It's heat lightning I promise that nothing will burn you.

wasn't Ultraviolence announced at the Tropico premiere?

We’re less than 24 hours since Lana “titty” Del Rey released her hottest photo shoot in years and all you cucks can do is complain about how much you don’t like music that we haven’t heard a single note of. just kidding I love you all

how could you say the bombastic songs are "horrible" when the best lana songs recently have all been bombastic (vb, wd, dealer, bbs, wfwf, etc.?)

yeah unfortunately I think we're not gonna get Lana solo shows for a while because her label will want her to tour, which she's never really enjoyed and in particular clearly had a bad time on the NFR tour.

please, if she tours again she's gonna sing Blue Jeans and half the words of Off to the Races

Oh this new album is gonna have real promo. Magazine in June… who was that rando user who said the album was coming in July??

no.

Lana has no bad albums except for lust for life so I see no reason not to be pumped for this new one. Plus, like I always say there's only one Lana. What we're gonna get is what we're gonna get. Might as well look forward to it!

okay I found it. lovely production and lana sounds great, but the melody is weak. probably cuz lana didn't write it

feeling like an idiot because I can't find this anywhere [please do NOT tell me where to find it I don't want to be b*nned]

y'know that lady is right. clearly Lana is copying her: they are both leaning on their elbow. she should sue. .... lmaooo

@Venice Peach That makes sense if all four are considered 'finished songs'. Such a shame that there's no released song with the "kiss me in your Chevrolet" melody — it's one of her best.

Hawaiian Tropic vs. Every Man Gets His Wish. Which one is the final version of the song? On Our Way vs. Spin Me Round: which is the final version of that song? My guess is that Hawaiian Tropic and On Our Way are the final versions of each song, but I could be persuaded otherwise if anybody knows for sure. Clearly Lana was playing around with some cut-and-paste verses and choruses to try and get the right combination of ingredients.

@Elle Is that tattoo related to Bill in any way? Obviously Paradise is related to the dead guy, but I wasn't aware if her other tattoo had a specific person in mind.

I left my city for San Francisco And I'm writing from the Golden Gate Bridge But it's not going as I planned I took a free ride off a billionaire and brought my typewriter And promised myself that I would stay, but It's just not going the way that I thought It's not that I feel different, and I don't mind that it's not hot It's just that I belong to no one, which means there's only one place for me The city not quite awake, the city not quite asleep The city that's still deciding how good it can be

How can you not like the lyrics on BBS? By the way, thanks for the shooo-hoo-hoo-hoooz. Masterpiece.

We know that there are "bombastic" songs from the Antonoff recording sessions that still haven't been used. And of course there's Loved You Then and Now. Maybe they're putting finishing touches on those songs? IDK, I don't get people being upset. I think we've known for a while that Jack was coming back. Plus nowadays Chemtrails is pretty highly regarded and of course NFR was a major success even if some fans didn't like it. And Lana and Jack clearly get along well -- it makes sense that they would keep working together.

I don't think the Blue Banisters production is bad or unprofessional. On vinyl it sounds excellent. There's the echoey atmosphere effect on the new songs that I think someone else (was it @lanasbottom?) described as a "thick gray paste", which I don't mind but clearly some people really don't like. I think the actual problem is that many of the songs did not compress well, especially Arcadia, and don't sound great on Spotify.

Lana has always written ballads. Part of including Cherry Blossom and Nectar of the Gods on BB was to prove that she had always written songs like that. Hell, think of Sirens or Pawn Shop Blues or On Our Way. What we need to manifest are ballads with fat beats like Without You or Born to Die.

I've been interested in her really bubblegum pop songs from 2010-2011, including: Meet Me in the Pale Moonlight Take Me To Paris Driving in Cars with Boys - Demo (with the higher singing) Prom Song Queen of Disaster Some of these I think are still pretty popular, but they go together in a really fun way that feels like a forgotten album in-between AKA and Born to Die that could have been really amazing.

Currently obsessed with the extended outro of "Wayamaya". It's like a religious chant, especially with Lana's uncanny voice -- she really elevates the simplest of lyrics into pop art. Waikiki-ko, Waikiki-ko Waikiki, Waikiki, Waikiki-ko Waikiki-ko, Waikiki-ko Waikiki, Waikiki, Waikiki-ko

your location says philly no explanation needed lmaooo

somebody was suggesting that you take both to listen to Ultraviolence...
