she really does nothing except being Lana's friend and people are pressed, let the girl live 

Literally this. I do agree with some of the things said, but NFR! is as LDR as it gets. It's just that it had such a cool concept and new sound, plus the social/political state of America of that time... it also came out after a "long" hiatus (for her standards), her personality was on fire (hence why the album is so cool as she said) plus the songs are literally amazing  Honestly my top 10 Lana songs is 50% NFR tracks
 
Anyway Text Book, Blue Banisters and Arcadia are among her finest works

alex's presence always has you guys seething  she's not just the back up dancer.. she's lana's friend so it's completely normal that she's around her all the time

Nfr stans was me, becoming Lana levels of unhinged and ATTACKING @West Coast @ShadesOfFool all last year. 
 

I think the opposite actually, Lust for Life was an album she played safe after she started getting blasted from the feminist movement and UV lyrics and whatever was happening at the time, then even changed her whole personality in that era for a hot sec. NFR impacted ALL of the recent pop records by being the first one to strip down production, taylor, billie, lorde, clario, etc. followed that sound because NFR was just so refreshing for the time - it's truly the BTD of the 2020s. I would say Blue Banisters is the same level of safe as all of her other records (except lust for life) which is not safe, it's Lana, because it all comes down on to how she wants the vibe to be, she was screaming all crazy during her 2011/2012 concerts because that was just the vibe, she's always seemed comfortable expressing herself through music. I don't think she ever thought about the criticism or playing it safe while making her records (except for LFL and probably Chemtrails).
 
 

still not over the EPIC serve of that sister pic  photo of the year

We all know Sputnik Music will be crashing in with their 0/5 review when the MC score starts looking too good. It's dark but just a game.

Hating on popular things is a personality trait, they're not like the other girls 

Everyone in this thread writing think pieces on NFR
 

no nfr! slander. the greatest, venice bitch, fuck it I love you, cinnamon girl, MAC are not be slandered. 
 
 

Bye, NFR is not bad at all and it is (one of) her best. How can you say that when that album has Venice Bitch ,The Greatest and California amongst other career highlights?
 
I love both COCC and BB, but in my opinion none of the tracks there are as strong as the NFR highlights.

NFR is and will always be my favorite Lana album, but the reason the general public liked it so much was because it was so easy to listen to. It wasn't what Lana typically does and now continues to do. Lana wasn't widely taken seriously as an artist until NFR, and now people expect her to just make a million remakes of that album which isn't fair to her in the slightest. I wouldn't say that NFR is less authentic, if anything I think it's one of her most authentic pieces of works yet, but the lyrics and sound felt more like they were playing it safe than her previous albums did (which I don't think was the intention by any means). Blue Banisters doesn't play it safe at all. Lana plays with her voice and she makes unusual production choices and she's so vulnerable and open in the lyrics that it can be jarring or almost uncomfortable to listen to at times. And that's what Lana has been doing her whole career. You can go all the way back to No Kung Fu and get that same feeling. She didn't do that as much on Norman which is why I think it's widely known by the public as her magnum opus. It's her most accessible album. I just really don't think that people who only know and like Lana for NFR are going to fully understand or be able to appreciate Blue Banisters. 

I’m not SUPER active on here all the time, but when did everyone start to hate NFR? Last I checked, it was the general consensus (from like everyone in the world) that it was her greatest album? Did that change now that BB is out (well, now that weve heard it)

These posts remind me of a conversation I had with a friend after NFR came out. They really liked the record and I said something like, “wow, that’s great, you should definitely check out some of Lana’s other albums, like Ultraviolence and Honeymoon!” And they had the audacity to look me in the eye and say , “no thanks, those albums are too Lana, like they’re too melodramatic for me.” I was quite perturbed by that comment and can vouch for what everyone is saying about the general public being more receptive to a record that veers away from what they typically associate with Lana (hence, my friend using ‘Lana’ as a descriptor in and of itself). 
 
While I love NFR and think it’s an amazing record, people’s dismissal of her other 7 records is exactly my issue with the culture. Beating a dead horse, I know — but the entire point of Question for the Culture was valid, and is applicable to any woman (and I guess a bit further, any person) existing in any space, professional or not (I can attest to this personally).

Welp….Lana is fucked 

Like Lana said herself: if everyone likes it, maybe it’s not that good!!

craig posted that in the beggining of bb era and notice the white fences on the background, its lana's backyard just like bb. Maybe it's the behind the scenes of bb mv ooooor the fourth mv 

what?? NFR is totally this
