    All the colored vinyl are back on the store

    The money I could've saved on combined shipping :rollin:

     

    A Terror Swift fan saving money? Unlikely, the way your fave keeps milking y’all DRY :oic2:


  2. Lana and Zach Bryan need to work together, if she’s gunning for a country duet. He even shared Ride on his insta story the other day.

     

    I feel like I have a harder time predicting the overall themes of this record - with her previous four albums it was easier, given everything that happened when those albums were being made. Also, every album kind of showed us what she was heading next, specially the LFL-NFR and BB-Ocean transitions. With this one… I actually have no idea. I can’t see her going to a direction where she’s being anything less than deep and introspective but I also don’t think she’s going to be tackling her family stuff forever? Ocean kind of felt like her definite statement on those themes.


  3. I have a hard time being enamored by the music he’s making or the forced “please I’m a top, not a bottom!!!” aesthetic and overall stances on several interviews and across social media. I know, I know… it’s supposed to be mindless fun and easily digestible pop music but it’s seriously boring, generic and disappointing because it lacks the nuance of his previous work. It’s just very very vapid work that doesn’t even succeed at the very low goalposts of consumable sexiness - he doesn’t look sexy and lacks the star power to pull it off.

    And again, every time he goes out of his way to tell everyone he isn’t a bottom was understandable at first (twinks shouldn’t be automatically categorized as bottoms) but now feels a bit backhanded - are you ashamed of being called a bottom, actually? Do you feel the need to reinforce you’re a top because you want to defy stereotypes or because you think being perceived as a bottom is not something you want for your appeal as a pop star? I have conflicting feelings about this but I’m mainly just bored out of my mind with him this era because I can see the wheels spinning behind every thing he’s been doing and that’s a turn off in general.

    I mean, we know that LDR10 is probably going to be Americana genre but today I thought of Lana's Britpop era (the stuff she recorded with The Last Shadow band and some of the songs she covered in the past like Wonderwall) and honestly, I'd like to see some more Britpop rock influenced songs by Lana in the future :flutter:

     

    This cannot be stressed enough.

    Americana is a music genre that encompasses traditional music styles including folk, jazz, country, bluegrass, blues, gospel, singer-songwriter, and roots music.

    The instrumentation of Americana music continues to be characterized by acoustic guitars, fiddles, banjos, mandolins, and harmonicas, as well as electric guitars and drums.

     

    I’m actually excited. Her foray into gospel with The Grants paid off. She’s incredibly talented, I’m not afraid of any direction she chooses to take.

    well she didnt use the word country

    :bebe:

     

     

    Her vision of country has always been different than most. She considers Ride, Video Games and a few other of her popular songs as country-leaning or with country sensibilities.

     

    I’m not a huge country fan myself but even her most country songs (namely the ones in Chemtrails) are amazing and done in a very uniquely Lana fashion. I’m not scared of her going Americana/Country at all. It’ll be special.


  7. I absolutely loathe that she’s still singing Summertime Sadness. Enough is e-fucking-nough. At least Y&B still makes thematic sense. 

     

    Also, I’ll never forgive her for not integrating Thunder and Let The Light In in the setlists. Those two back to back make more sense as a live performance than… Arcadia. 

     

    And nothing from Honeymoon is ridiculous.

     

    Other than that, I love her on stage.

    has anyone listened to guts yet? i’m about to, what are the highlights for everyone so far? not really a fan of either of the two singles, especially bad idea right, but i have high hopes for Lacey and The Grudge

     

    Funnily enough my favorites are very different from the previous user LOL. I think she strengths as an artist are more evident in non-ballad mode.

     

    Spoiler

    All American Bitch, Love is Embarrassing and SPECIALLY Pretty Isn’t Pretty are my favorites and all around great great songs.

    That means I'm going to like it YESSS! I'm so glad she's not doing her Sour-ish Ballads, I feel it doesn't do her justice. She fits better with pop rock, or songs like Vampire - not everyone is made for ballads.

     

    There’s a dour ballad here and there but overall I think it’s balanced. Not a bad album overall, just heard it fully. 


  10. All American Bitch is actually an amazing opener? And the Pretty When You Cry reference really suits the song. Then the song transitions perfectly to Bad Idea Right lol omg. I can’t believe Olivia is making me eat crow. Will listen to the rest now.
