    I don’t want her to re release Lana del ray tbh but I’m praying she just randomly drops a very limited cd or vinyl on her webstore. The cultural shock that would bring would be unmatched

    I’m sorry but I have to disagree about the first part. A rerelease with newer mixing and 2 bonus tracks (wayamaya (with better drum) and the ocean version of kill bill) would serve

    I finally listened to the album and it's really really really good! :flutter: 

    the only songs I don't like are yes, and? and imperfect for you (both cases because of the chorus) but they feel like growers. the rest is really good, I loved it! favourites: we can't be friends (wait for your love), true story, supernatural and bye. but there are so many good tracks: don't wanna break up again, title track, i wish i hated you, the boy is mine (it doesn't deserve the hate y'all)... i just love how this album blends different styles in a cohesive way, it works so well :dancedy:

    whoever called it a 'sad Positions' what were they onto lol

     

    idk what's the hype about imperfect for you though, the verses are good but the chorus is not it and it kinda ruins the song for me

    If she started singing in a higher key for the last chorus of imperfect for you it would’ve been better

    knowing her, part of it's probably out of spite ngl. 

    but also, thematically, people also forget how amazingly satirical and sarcastic Lana can be. exhibit A, her re-work of TNBAR in NFR, that can be seen as vapid/ but totally fits the overall theme of what kind of man Norman might be, to that clearing into figuring out more so of what she wanted, and not being caught up in a man, more so like him. 

    I personally think they fit the album's theme, and at least personally, them being the same sorta honors her artistry by simultaneously having them stay the same, while meaning something more supercharged and new to cohabit this record's themes. 

    I Never thought of it like that. That’s actually kinda cool

    See that’s the thing tho isn’t it. Bc she did the whole fan album with LFL, and with how this forum loves to pivot - fans praise unreleased tracks to the point of worship, but when it gets released it’s another story, details here n there, and even if she lost the tracks, releasing them as is fits the theme of being who she is, not what everyone expects and wants her to be. 
     

    This album is a revenge album. So many people stay in more heated mindsets and they get lost in it, and she contrasts this by for the most part, keeping composed and going inward.

     

    She strips what the public frames her in, intergenerational trauma, public narratives, relationships with men to finding wholeness within and of herself, the difficult relationship she’s had with her own mother affecting her own personhood to cleansing that, and on top of that, being able to find the courage and strength of instead of spreading pain, chooses to be loving and nurtures. 
     

    I don’t think a lot of people today even still realize that. Bc it doesn’t fit some kind of edginess, or it doesn’t have many bangers (jargon jargon), people find it dull, but it’s honestly just a reflector on where someone might be when it comes to their own personhood and layers of self awareness and knowing. 
     

    We’re used to people’s opinion being treasured expectantly and entitledly, but at the end of the day when you strip things to the bottomline, you’ve got an artist sharing more tender offerings. That’s just incredibly brave and it’s never so much about us, and yes the relationship btwn art and audience, but I think it takes a certain fortitude and finesse to realize that she’s been wanting to be understood for a long time. Not to be thought of binarily, but to just have a safe space where she’s allowed a little more patience than what’s she might’ve been deprived of for so long. Her fanbase no less. So she did it for herself. 
     

    Focus that on personal experiences in your own life, and it can connect so beautifully. Yes you might find it boring bc what she wants for herself might be this wrote about thing of wanting kids/ family a simpler life, but it's more so of reclaiming yourself and living your own life, however you want to. That's another thing people seem to miss (to seemingly berate her for that shows a kind of double standard when all she's ever wanted to do was be herself). 
     

    This isn’t directed directly towards you, I’m just passionate in defending this album and how it’s a real treasure that’s often misunderstood or written off for not fulfilling some kind of standard, when in reality, it IS it's own kind of standard and work. 
     

    Just cus it seems soft or sweet, doesn’t mean that it didn’t take hell for it experienced, and what more, if the latter, how amazing is it to have very much retained it’s very essence and despite what she’s had to’ve carried for so long. It’s a dissipating, dispelling and disarmingly beautiful thing, only if you’ve found the secret of being aware of it.

    I get it, I just personally feel that the uv outtakes that leaked and were put on bb felt out of place, and if she wasn’t gonna rework them (like she did thunder) then she should’ve saved them for another project (aka unreleased album project that she keeps teasing)
