the fact that you posted that right after, bitch i was thinking of that video  
 
she denies is only because she likes being a secret furry

Totally agree. When songs have been finished, I like them most of the time. There a few I adore, but most of them are just meh. I don’t get when everyone on LB loses their shit when a bland demo leaks or an unfinished concept and everyone is like: “it’s better than half of (insert the album it could have been part of)!!!” Like, no, it’s not. With a lot of unreleased, I think it’s the “One that got away” syndrome that is in full effect: had those been released on an album and we wouldn’t even be talking about them most of the time. 

So many people pretend to like her unreleased stuff to seem edgy when the vast, VAST majority of those songs are god awful, even some (most) of the more “popular” ones are literal shite

She looked better blonde

AKA is a flawless record

on the flipside: when i say aka is my favorite lana del rey album (& my favorite album of all time) & when i even say it might be her best… i 100% mean it

Coachella, White Mustang, Summer Bummer and Groupie Love are some of my favorite tracks from Lust for Life, and they hit different every summer. 

anyway, aka remains one of her best & is a cult-classic staple

Oh I think people pretend to like a lot of things but I mean if it’s your taste that’s making you enjoy a potato quality song about pedophilia then go off I suppose

This! The way we got Young & Beautiful, Summer Wine, Once Upon a Dream, Chelsea Hotel, Tropico & probably forgetting some, between Paradise and Ultraviolence. Her Glory era. 

not sure if it’s unpopular but tropico deserves wayyyy more love than it gets

also the paradise era was one of, if not her best, along with its transition into UV… WHEW!!

 

i actually quite like coachella - woodstock in my mind

when u really think about it, post-honeymoon, it seems like her music's been more engaging outwardly. lust for life was explicitly made for the journey of hers with her fans aka us and other fans. nfr, a great reflective narrative w lots of parallels, cotcc her sisterhood, and then back to bb like a regaining or reclaiming of self, but still more fixated towards her public perception. 

i think it's a bit strange that a majority of listeners keep referencing the older 3, maybe partially for early brownie points idk, but since lfl, her music's been made to be listened to from a more immersive pov, where lfl has it's hopes, nfr, lessons and warnings, cotcc reflective of the property of transition and changes, to blue banisters, meant the most to feel like a ghost. 

simply put, and i'm not sure many others might've thought about it, or even brought it up before is that, past the straightforward sounds that came from her more self-albums, her immersing and having more of a conversation w current times actually shows much growth in her artistry that a lot of people seem to overlook. this in tandem w the fact that she didn't mind it when she loses fans in that one awkward monica bellucci inspired shoot interview, it makes total, straightforward sense. 

i like to very much think that lana knows this as she creates, bc the times can be reflective of current society, which makes it feel ironic but also fitting w how it's being interacted with. i'm a big advocate of understanding the feel, and i attribute her artistic choices as such/ and possibly her trusting her own past work might be an indicator of things, but apart from her part reputation for being lazy, for the most part i do think she hears what her audience does say, it's just that for me, at least my theory's been that her music's taken more of a broader approach and intentions to that of a more immersive effect that compliments the album's themes. 

personally, i understood btd's hustle and drive, not much of an angry person, but understood uv's despair, paradise's viceland, honeymoon's mystique, and lfl's hopes for a generation and more. but post that, like nfr's tragedies reflective of a society gone more towards selfish but not of the self, cotcc's need for freedom, and bb's healing. the latter album's at least for me, have been more profound and impactful. of course i'll always be open to her revisiting some of her past devices, but i'm completely content for the most part, for how her music's been. it's kinda interesting how much of it's been hitting close for me, but it also just makes me think that bc i might be more readily understanding and knowing of it, it being more relatable, it comes a bit comforting to know that she's also growing and sharing/ developing with her audience. 

i do wonder when her more vanity project album might cycle in, and that it'd fit w a renewing of self from bb's deconstructing of public persona, and how that might sound like these days. 

It's not mean, and I respect other singers, but I think Lana is the only one to be the queen of her genre, to have developed it with incredible musical and artistic perfection. She's just perfect everywhere. She's kind of like the top of the class, she's got it all figured out. I think too many artists try to copy her, although they try to change a few things here and there, there is often an obsession in the background to copy what she does and her videos. It may not be their intention, but it's hardly laughable, and no one comes close to it. There is inspiration and inspiration and for many there is not.
 
Since she became known, I have lost count of the number of "sad and aesthetic" artists who have appeared, it's nice but there are too many now. Lana deserves more credit. I'm not targeting her in particular, but Ethel Cain is a distant copy of Lana Del Rey for example, she sings well but people have to find their own universe like Lana built hers.

and honestly not for the best 

I'm tired of the "fame treated me so badly" narrative.

I Don't Want Your Love is probably the best leak we've gotten since I Wanna Be With U..... Her R&B songs always hit
