demanding a Honeymoon theme, actually we need a theme for each era!

Oh wow a certain era is dominating the poll...
I can't be the only one who enjoys the synthy stuff like Poetry In Motion, Come With Me and Cry kill Die 

all UV outtakes belong on an extra album

all UV outtakes belong on an extra album

A man telling a woman how to express her past experiences on being a woman and existing in today’s society or her own femininity is just- 
i always believed and still believe that he was most of the times unjustifiably harsh on her and imo projected some form of misogynistic opinions on her work ( maybe even subconsciously ). 
And he was one of the many critics who perpetuated the idea that she wasn’t talented earlier in her career. 

didn't he say something similar about born to die when he revisited it? about how it's not as bad as he originally said it was, still not a good example for girls and women? i don't believe men can't have any sort of say or opinion regarding subjects revolving women/feminism/etc., but i feel like it shouldn't be his place to say whether or not it's wrong or backwards for her to express herself in a different sort of way, or one that may be viewed as alternative, controversial, or boundary-pushing, and not everything necessarily HAS to be empowering or within today's version of feminism, women shouldn't have to feel obligated to be the leading face of feminism and women empowerment constantly, her self-expression and perspective were and still are valid and shouldn't be shut down because they could be considered polarizing or controversial
 
and i know people can grow and change, but fantano originally giving it a rating of TWO was ridiculous, if a man had made the same album i'm sure the reception would've been different
 
i just think progressive men should still be aware that women who have different perspectives on certain subject matters should still be listened to and considered, as long as they're not somebody like justpearlythings or something like that, womanhood can be so complex and complicated, there's just so much nuance to so many different things and we have to remember that

him saying what she should have done with the title track lyrics was the worst part for me tbh. you're a man stfu  (fantano, not you)

I agreed with him up until her started talking about her not addressing sexism and misogyny of years past. I don’t get why it is so hard for people to accept that she didn’t want to do that and that wasn’t her goal. She just wrote about her experiences and turned them into these dramatic stories using old references. She wasn’t trying to tear down the patriarchy or anything lol. 
 
I do think there are a lot of lyrical missed opportunities on this record, like with Sad Girl. The concept is strong but she just didn’t take it there 

I knew this day would come 
 
 
edit: he's still wrong tho 

Alsooo there’s plenty of music made by men being misogynistic and gross yet noone says anything about it ruining their music. So why does that only apply when the roles are switched to Lana  
His review screams misogyny & he frankly just doesn’t get it. Just because music isn’t for you doesn’t mean it’s bad. It’s like he’s missing the whole point. Also artists are not required social justice activists. Women are allowed to express their feelings and experiences through art even the ugly parts & idk why that’s such a bad thing. I truly believe Lana’s music is the epitome of the girls that get it, get it and the girls that don’t, don’t. 

Tread the timelines with a grain of salt. 
 
For me, it's hands down the songs she was making after completing Ultraviolence mostly because of her The Good Life cover and Come With Me. Runner up is Lust For Life because of Poetry In Motion and the various demos. 

UV is just on a different level, she was peak creativity and it is very familiar to the Lana we all know and love so it feels very current still. Everything is so signature to Lana, I mean 3 UV era songs fit perfectly along side the new music of an album released almost 10 years later. 
 
But also I have to give Lizzy/early BTD a lot of credit because no one was or will ever do what she was doing. Everything was so unique and you can tell she was constantly cooking up new stuff.

Nothing will ever top the tumblr aesthetic of Ultraviolence  I really feel sorry for the stans that didn't experience it

While fans here already found it and some will even translate, let's post the pics / article:
 

 

 

Lana Looking for America

It will be something in between Honeymoon and Ultraviolence 
 
 

the way we’ve been hearing this for the past 4 albums 

Ok, songs like Take Me Home are nice, but what's the challenge? Everything seems more routine lately. She has to push her limits again and show us what she is really capable of.

im still waiting for this cover album mama
 

Everyone hoping for something fun and different but it's just going to be a folk/country music album with basic production and lyrics about how happy and content she is living on her horse ranch and going to church every Sunday with her best friends Margaret and Nikki Lane or whatever. Everyone will eat it up anyways though.
