Maybe this time last track wasn't hinting the sound of the next project but it's structure

A few more pretty pictures, I made a lil photo gallery on my post on the first page with all of them -
 

it's fun to see lana out and about again 

I don’t think any of us expected Lana content tonight so this was all a happy surprise <3 and we got some memeable moments 💀💀

Even with a couple of stupid competitions going the wrong way, have us Lipsters ever had a better start to a year than 2024?

Pretty baby -

Or...Lasso could be split into two parts: the first part has this nostalgic "oldies" feel (songs inspired by Wynette, Cash, Cline, Sinatra and all those great country singers of the 50's/60's/70's), and the second part is basically Lana updating and subverting the genre with an unexpected and completely modern take, blending different styles together (something similar to the transitions and playfulness of A&W and Taco Truck). 

These are slightly underwhelming. Texas Hold ‘Em is cute, but it should have been way shorter. 16 Carriages is stronger, but still far from top-tier, especially compared to Daddy Lessons which is a truly great song. I’m kinda worried, but hopefully Beyoncé will prove me wrong. Break My Soul was similarly underwhelming (still better though ngl) when I first listened to it, but Renaissance was terrific.

I've seen sooooo many people saying Peppers, LTLI, Margaret, etc should have been the singles and I could not disagree more! 
 
They are all amazing songs (yes, even Margaret, I said what I said) with great re-playability and the potential to go huge on the radio, charts, tiktok etc (as we've seen)  
 
HOWEVER she/her team made the right choice choosing The Grants, Candy Necklace, Title Track, and A&W as the singles. Not only are they some of the absolute best songs on the album, thematically it makes far more sense and sums up the "heart" of DYKTTATUOB which is about legacy, grief, death, desire, existentialism, etc. Choosing any other singles would have done a massive disservice to the album and although it may have charted better, it wouldn't have gotten the critical acclaim it has so far.
 
I know so many people want Lana to make more "bops" buttttt DYKTTATUOB is one of her best albums (imo) BECAUSE it has dark songs as well as slightly more classic 70s sounds like LTLI, simple love songs like Margaret, and bops like Peppers/Fishtail. 

AKA as an album is better than the two LPs that came after it

Long essay, read it if you want to. And if you don't want to read it, then don't. It is controversial though, I think. I really hope that people won't start hating on me here after that long statement because I said it, for example, in TikTok or Twitter, I think that people there would eat and burn me alive...
 
I love NFR album but Ocean Blvd album with all the depth and complexity of it makes NFR album seem very shallow and vanilla. Not that NFR album is bad, of course not, but Ocean Blvd album just explored the topics in a very comprehensive and profound way what kind of lacks in the songs of NFR albums (except Hope Is A Dangerous Thing). That's why I also find NFR as very polished album (like more polished version of Lust For Life and maybe COTCC albums) and that's why it's also her most "universal" accessible album. That's also the reason why general public (whether the people are teenagers or middle aged) loves it the most out of all of her albums.
 
Also, I have seen many Lana fans, either here or in social media (Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, Twitter) rank her top 3 albums mostly as NFR, Ultraviolence and Honeymoon and saying that they're all in the same league and her strongest. While the list is not bad (I do have to admit that Ultraviolence and Honeymoon are in my top 3 as well), sadly I don't find NFR in the same league as Ultraviolence and Honeymoon. I think that Ultraviolence and Honeymoon are one of her strongest works BUT it's also her most original and unique works. These albums are something that CANNOT be created by anyone else but Lana herself. But even if Lana tries to do a 2.0 version of those two albums, I think she even wouldn't be capable of doing these again in the same flavour and design because these albums captured the magic in the studio which just cannot be repeated again. These albums just caught lightning in the bottle and they're all in their own unique universes which makes these albums special either by their sound, melodies and topics. It's just something that makes Honeymoon and Ultraviolence so ahead of their times and out of all Lana's albums timeless and out of all Lana's albums, they're in a very high league. They're not really 100% polished, they're raw in some parts but it's something that it's done flawlessly. These albums are so essentially Lana, they have her "handwriting" all over them. That's something what NFR doesn't have, sorry. Not that it's a bad thing, of course. But I feel like NFR is an album which could be done by any indie rock band but I think it's also because the album has very strong Jack Antonoff signature style in it. That's why I also think that NFR is an album it's also album which "lacks" the Lana element the most. I think NFR album's strongest parts are the lyrics but as I have mentioned earlier, some of the lyrics can seem really shallow and aren't as deep now as it was. It has some strong moments like in Hope, Mariners, How To Disappear or The Greatest but my problem with NFR's lyrics are that these could be written by anyone and they all seem to be in the style of...I don't know, like Instagram captions or Pinterest, where like all the "motivational life quotes" are collected together and sewn together into one song. But it doesn't make the album bad, I think the album itself is amazing and very listenable because in all its simplicity, it has relatable moments and it also very nostalgic. It's like that kind of album you listen to when you're going on a summer trip or go to a beach to enjoy life and have fun.
 
Also I have never seen NFR as a sad album. There are sad moments, like in Hope, The Greatest and California (like in every Lana album to be honest) but overall I find the album as light, hopeful and optimistic. Like trying to live in the moment and enjoy it as much as possible while accepting the life as it is (TNBAR, Venice Bitch, Mariners, Love Song, Doin Time, FIILY). 
 
Here's my two cents. It's just my opinion, you don't have to take it seriously...

If someone said that Ocean Blvd is Lana's best album, I wouldn't argue with them because I think in retrospective, this really might be her best album if we consider how she has progressed in her music with lyrics through the years.
