Her albums would be better if she avoided fillers and "killed her darlings".

i wouldn’t say there’s a musician i like the least/dislike the least? i can’t really think of anybody in particular… i don’t like music/pop music which is very generic or obviously just following trends/commercial success, i admire & strongly prefer music with a real sense of artistry (which pop music can have)

Ok, but is there an artist you really can't stand for some reason?

Which musicians do you like the least?

For me, at the moment, it's Adele and Abba, because I don't understand their success, I mean their music is ok, but not really that great. They are so successful only because of their big name.

- is Angelina an unborn child she had in the past? (The song becomes spookily interesting if you listen to it like the kid is a ghost) 

 

There's a nice explanation on genius.com

This is one of the potential names Del Rey wants for her future daughter. The other one is Clementine, as she has mentioned in Dance Til We Die. Given that the last song is recent and that Cherry Blossom was written somewhere in 2010, it is most likely that the name “Angelina” was a choice of the past.

It could also be a pseudonym for Lana herself, as the song can be interpreted as being sung on the perspective of the mother Lana never had.

From this perspective, the song is even sadder.

Does anyone have a screenshot of the post where she explained that the album is how it was, what it was like, etc.? I can’t remember when she posted that on Instagram 

was reposted on September 7, so maybe from that date

Swan Song is SO filler has anybody here actually deliberately listened to it in the past few years ?  Ive not played it since like 2016

At first I didn't even notice it, but now it's my top three song on HM.

After falling back to #3 in the worldwide itunes charts, it has now climbed up one place to #2 : https://kworb.net/aww/

Still #1 in Russia and Mexico and four other countries: https://kworb.net/itunes/artist/lanadelrey.html

The strings add absolutely nothing to Thunder (they even get pretty annoying half way through) and the album version has no vibe compared to the leaked one. 

I'm surprised, for me they carry the song.

what does that mean?

She talked about her "karmic lineage" in the live chat some days ago (not only in BBS):

Essentially, I want to thank you because we've already given 300k to the Navajo nation and we still have 700k to spread out, and I'm very grateful that 3 years ago I felt an instinct to not only help others, but heal my own family's karmic lineage through paying reparations. & That was a concept that came to me before a lot of the matters we've been taking about in the past 2 years came to light.

She keeps implying things about her karmic lineage & stuff like that, I wonder if she means her ancestors were like terrible or something   

She is so esoteric! I wish she was more in touch with reality. I mean, spending money on the Navajo Nation is not bad, but her mind behind it worries me a bit.

Every time I listen to the album, I have some unexpected special moments. Today it was actually "Dealer" that caught me, even though I had heard it a few dozen times before. It was such a perfect listening experience like 110%. I don't know if I'll hear it that way again, but I understand now why it performs so well.

Now i know that not EVERY fan isn’t disliking the album like i get it its personal taste but the fans who are enjoying this album are definitely in the minority and the numbers show it

 

And why it has a higher user score than any other album on metacritic? https://www.metacritic.com/browse/albums/score/userscore/all/filtered

I wonder if there really is a song called "Trail Of Tears" and what it would sound like.

I'm not trying to be rude or catty but what credentials does Ajayll have? Is she a musician, producer, singer? I watched her Blue Banisters reaction and she doesn't really talk about things from a technical POV, just kinda what she likes? Is that her "thing", just being an amateur listener? 

I don't know who she is, but I noticed that she only wears her witch hat when reacting to Lana.

Let me do what I do
Let me show you how sadness can turn into happiness
I can turn blue into something
Beautiful

Beautiful is the key track of this album.
