    Why are some of you guys acting like COCC wasn't a successful album? Lana stans are a different breed of people. We buy physical copies which are more valuable and listen it later. She's extremely successful in physical sales meanwhile I don't hear anyone buying nor talking about Cardi B's album, only her hit singles. COCC was #2, like every other album except UV being 1# so I think there's nothing to worry about. Yeah, it has less views and streaming numbers but considering that Lana doesn't give a fuck about commercial success, it's a very successful album. Some established artists put max effort and promote their album only to flop. If she made 3 or 4 bops with guitars and an aesthetic artwork it would probably be 1#. Teens would love it since rock is kinda getting back to the charts if you consider Olivia's music pop rock. 

     

    Manifesting LDR8 to be UV 2.0. :bored:

    What if there's no album title on the artwork? That'd make sense why she is allowed to keep changing the title, if the album is actually coming on july 4th, with the vinyls being pressed or already done

    Miley Cyrus's Plastic Hearts vinyl is yet to be released although the album will be soon a year old so it wouldn't be weird for a vinyl copy to be late.

    I'm going to do a lot but

     

    I can understand those who don't like BTD as we grew up and people aren't impressed with Lana's young and wild American anymore, but this album from my 28-year-old remains the most iconic to this day. It's excellent, it's a classic. It doesn't sound dated or overproduced to me. It is such a special album that it cannot be linked to any other. There is a real journey on it, all the titles could have been hits if she wanted to.

     

    It defines Lana and her entire universe, and that's what we're all here for. If she would have released Chemtrails on her first album I don't think she would have had as much of an impact on the music world, and on us. This record earned her fame and her great career.

     

    Like Ultraviolence, it was a perfect era. Chuck did her best photos there, Lana was wild and her unique performances, the promotion, the videos on the tv, you know all that.


    She embraced without shame this somewhat misunderstood universe against a background of musical perfection. And then, this is the beginning of her demonstrations and her great talent as "Lana Del Rey".

     

    BTD is perfect, it will never get old. I'm not even talking about Paradise which is a cut above. A real treasure that a lot of fans reject because it is more obvious and pop, and yet this Lana is good, she really has to come back to something more obvious. Too bad for the anti-pop elitists.

     

    I'm thinking that if she released all albums but in different chronological order she would be seen completely differently. She was seen as a BTD wild child until maybe last year. Maybe if she released UV as a debut album she would be seen as a classy dark rock chick and be compared to rock starts but since BTD is her debut album she's compared to pop stars.

    In my opinion UV and BTD were the only albums she could've break out with, the other albums are also good but not that unique.

    So RCS is not even on the album anymore

     

     

     

    Why is sister Lana posting stuff she would regret it a couple of weeks later? 

     I'm starting to feel like Lana is quite a shaky person for everything. Why not complete an album and reveal small snippets like a normal artis in the age of social media? 

     

    I've been looking forward to the newest album by The Marias too and I can't help but compare how they handle the pre release era vs Lana. The small indie band sent their fans a piece of a puzzle of the albums artwork for fans to reveal it on social media, then they released a song, then its music video in May, than another song, then a teaser of the album, a pre order of the vinyl and now they're about to release it on streaming platforms in a day. Meanwhile Lana... whatever she's up to.

    Come on guys I understand you grew out of BTD but it's still a very good album. Born To Die, Carmen, Radio, Summertime Sadness, Diet Mountain Dew, Blue Jeans and Million Dollar Man are CLASSICS. The lyrics don't have to be genius and super deep and the production is nice but I agree that demos are better for some songs. Please understand that in that time EDM was popular and basically a tone down version of what kids referr today as hyperpop songs like Starships, Hangover, Where Have You Been and more. So for that time BTD's production was probably very dark and raw.

    all of her "popular" unreleased songs are overrated (serial killer, ycbtb, queen of disaster, & yes to heaven) true.gif

     

    Everything except Yes To Heaven. That song is so beautiful if you listen to the Honeymoon version. 

     

    Serial Killer is probably the cringiest lyrics she's ever written. I can imagine wannabe edgy girls thinking "Omg samee I can relate to this". I still like the beat and the melody though. 

    You Can Be The Boss has the same energy. Those things are possible with adults but the lyrics look like they're meant for an edgy underage teenage girl who chases after lowlifes in their early-mid 20s.

    guns and roses is SUCH a vibe, i don't understand why people hate it, i understand that it's slow & has a repeating chorus, however, a lot of her music is "slow", and a lot of songs off of ultraviolence have a repeating chorus... i love the desert rock influence and the instrumentation is such a dream, it might be my favorite off of ultraviolence :wub: 

     

    I find it better than Old Money, The Other Woman and Money Power Glory. Not bad but not good. It's not that it's repetitive, so is Shades of Cool, Black Beaty, Sad Girl and more, the point is that the melody isn't something original but it's catchy enough for me to remember the chorus after only listening to it a couple of times months ago. 5/10

    No i mean The NBHD is petty niche nowadays and not what they used to be. But their latest album Chip Chrome was definitely the best album of 2020. I think you should give it a try! 

     

    Definitely! I stopped caring right before that album but I was a stan in 2017 and I'm still planning to buy a vinyl of Wiped Out because it was iconic to me back then. Maybe I'll be back loving them.

    COCC - Boooooriiing. I can actually write an essay why I don't like it but it's unnecessary. 

    Electra Heart - I like only a couple of songs and the rest of the album is boring. 

    The Neighbourhood - I loooooved their music until 2017, since then they have become so whiny lol

    AM - TBHC, literally everyone I know who's a fan of them hates that album including me. Just... background noise

    Sky Ferreira - I absolutely love a couple of songs but I don't get the hype around the entire album. 

     

    Now moving on to old school music... 

    Led Zeppelin - Only like three most popular songs (you probably know which). 

    Bauhaus - I loved the first two songs I heard from them but later on everything's too...Idk... 

    Black Sabbath - Also only a couple of songs of their earliest work. Idk ... 

    Motley Crue - one song, maybe two. I don't like Vince Neil's voice 

    Joy Division Unknown Pleasures - Two songs from that album are amazing but everything else is meh. I like their other albums. 

    GnR Use Your Illusion - Except the most popular songs everything else kinda lacks any buildup and a memorable chorus/riffs. I listened some songs multiple times but no...

    ppl like to be bitter and miserable

    Nah, it doesn't affect my life and I like seeing talented people getting recognition even if I'm not a huge fan. It just seems disingenuous. When Taylor, Beyonce, Gaga, Riri etc. praise someone new it seems genuine because it looks like an older sister giving an advice. Good that Elton's hyping it helps those artists but, like I said, I find it hard to believe that a man in his 70s can be a fan of a music by a late teen and someone in her 20s.

    he really jumps on every upcoming female star it’s really weird: billie, rina sawayama, dua, phoebe bridgers… like man just accept you’re not very relevant anymore and let it go it’s kinda cringe :awkney:

     

    Exactly, I didn't know about the other artists but it only confirms my theory lmao. IMO there's nothing better for a celeb than having a quiet life after decades of a successful career and swimming in cash. Dude has a net worth of HALF A BILLION. Gramps pls sit your ass at home and buttfuck hot twinks from time to time.

    We have to admit that he's still less desperate than Madonna who's still trying to have a career with her horrible autotuned voice and we all know how her opening of 2019 ESC went... Physical copies of her latest album are everywhere and all 50%-70% on sale. Yikes!

    Lmao I noticed that Elton John loves to talk about new pop stars (definitely not his pattern to collab with Lana but doing that in 2012 would look like him). When I saw him comment about Billie Elish and how he's a fan I was like "Boy, are you trying to attract Gen Z to buy your vinyl records?". What can a man in his 70s feel when listening lofi pop songs written by a 18 year old. I don't think he's creepy but rather that he wants to be semi relevant with the new generation who loves old music more than ever. Nothing wrong with hyping your favorite artist but I don't see Madonna or other artist with a huge legacy praising every new artist that has a similar vibe.

    I'm not British and I never understood why were people offended but that post and telling her to delete it. Lana's ancestors are British and millions of people love the royal family so it's not a big deal. Let her idolize them, it doesn't hurt anybody, she probably doesn't idolize them because of racism and incest. Btw I watch The Crown (10/10) and don't like anyone except Diana, young Margaret and kinda Philip lol.

    Cola is too iconic of a song to retire from her live performances, it would so punk rock of her to bring it back. she can romanticize whatever/whoever the fuck she wants even Harvey Weinstein 

     

    People are so selective in what's okay to romanticize and what's not. Either everything is okay or none of it is okay. It's okay when women have songs where they're harassing men, being a pick me, where they're being promiscuous, materialistic etc. but OMG Ultraviolence the song is so toxic and needs to be canceled. Give me a break. Go listen to kids bop if you want a positive message.

    At least we're having a concept.

     

    Do I like it? No, I don't.

    Am I going to buy the physical copy? Also no, because I'm not obligated to look to that hideous cover

     

     

     

    It's better accept than stress over something that we can't change

     

    Lmao same sis I just can't buy an ugly looking album. I also hate when the cover is overly sexual like The Pretty Reckless or Bauhaus when you can see the guy's hairy ball sack unless it's very arsty. Same for depressing 90s rock/metal covers.

    Maybe that cover has hidden message, meaning. Bruises on her chest- her past, she's hurted but she's still standing etc.

     

    oMg Is LaNa GlAoMoUrIzInG aBuSe AgAiN? 

    Think of the children! We need to cancel her! 

     

    Also I understand the point but that doesn't excuse it for being a horrible picture. Halsey did a nice job with a glittery "black eye" on the Manic artwork.

    i mean hey it ain’t perfect but it’s better than silence or another round of "which color should the vinyl be" :sass:

    My broke ass doesn't even care at this point because there's no chance I can afford anything besides the black one and ALL vinyl stores here love to sell standard lps for the price of a colored for 35 fucking euros.

    define pretty good voice :dua:

     

    Come on she's still lowkey brilliant for an 18 year old kid. The bar is to high. 18 years olds are generally awful musicians, Billie and Olivia are one in ten million who actually make listenable music. In my country usually pretty 18 year old girls win this huge singing competition, get a huge record deal and they all turn out to be awkward af and clear industry plants with zero charisma. I remember the second hand embarrassment I got from watching 18 year old hipster girls having an acoustic performance at a café (I was 17-18 btw). 

    It's okay to say her music is overrated and that you don't understand the hype but she's far from a bad singer.

    imagine writing (she probably didn’t her team did but let’s pretend) a whole generic pop ALBUM about some fake teeny relationship your dystopian conglomerate aka disney inc. came up with to steal money out of teenage girl’s pockets…. :scoff: what exactly is groundbreaking about that ? like i don’t wish any bad on that kid and it’s not her fault but it’s not sitting well with me at all how lana got dragged through hell and back for being an industry plant only because she had some lip fillers and a different aesthetic when nowadays every real industry plant from billie, to clairo, halsey to olivia get eaten up by the gp with no questions asked…. and lana doesn’t even get slight praise or “thanks for opening this door for me" (looking at you miss billie "thank you ariana" eilish:tanisha:)

     

    You forgot the biggest industry plants of the century - Kpop idols. Kpop stans get enraged when you bring that up but know a lot about the industry at the same time. Then you wonder how teens eat up industry plants? It's enough to be good looking, have an aesthetic and be slightly edgy. I kinda noticed that rock, metal and alt communities notice industry plants easier but they're toxic in their own way.
