Then how she intends it to be sounds flawed.
 
 
A creative vision can be flawed. And Lana does better musically when people are there to help her rein it in,

just because its intentional doesn’t mean its a good thing

The entirety of NFR sounds weak if you don’t have a high quality sound system/headset. It just sounds flat.
 
California is most noticeable (to me), it has everything to make it a top 5 Lana song for me but the way it just sounds off bothers me. Like, you can hear the layers rather than one fluid track. 
 
When the NFR credits were posted I remember everyone talking about how they couldn’t hear half the instruments credited. 
 
 

People are confusing mixing/mastering with production.
 
Blue Banisters album has the worst mastering. It’s so atrocious that it’s embarrassing for an artist like her. When it was first released it was unlistenable in streaming platforms especially on Spotify and YouTube because the difference between highs and lows were so out of standard that it broke their uploading algorithm and caused audio clipping issues across all songs. We had to email those streaming services for them to manually fix it. 
 

i really want stems to leak for this song so i can mix it myself. that beginning chorus would be so much better if it was really quiet and turned up slowly a bit as it got closer to the first verse and then her vocals come in full volume at "skipping rope in the bayou, bayou" alongside a tiny piano

Fully regarding the mastering / engineering and not the production style itself, these are what I have issues with:
 
American - Like @Dark Angel said, the high pass filter they used on her vocals drives me INSANEEEE it's ear-wrenching... I still like the song I just can't listen to it
 
Every single Dan track on Ultraviolence is filled with glitches, clicks, mic leak, bad take injection, distortion, quality distortion, etc. I adore the album but it could have sounded 100x better if they had someone else engineering those tracks... there's an endless amount of errors on every track.
 
The Next Best American Record - Strange overly processed vocal mixing, same issue with American
 
California - Bad vocal mixing 
 
Tulsa Jesus Freak - This song has always sounded off to me, bad mixing from every angle, bad vocal mixing, guitar too loud it becomes distorted, very messy altogether
 
Dark But Just A Game - If Jack were to come out and say this was a demo they didn't touch after the first mix I'd believe it
 
Arcadia - HORRIBLE VOCAL MIXING, distorted vocals when it gets too loud, cracks through the song
 
Black Bathing Suit - A Mess. Her worst produced song ever. The obvious cuts from studio to voice memo are so awful it makes the song unlistenable to me, terrible drums, bad vocal mixing, disharmonious chorus, cracks, clicks, distortion, why was this released seriously... 
 
If you Lie Down With Me - Horrible vocal mixing, distortion, I do like this song though
 
Beautiful - Bad vocal mixing / distortion 
 
Violets For Roses - Worst vocal mixing ever, piano distortion, there's a lot that makes this song a production nightmare
 
Thunder - Some of the worst engineering of her career, instrumental leak from the demo, vocal and production distortion, bad vocal mixing, bad drums, bad instrumental, it's just not well done at all
 
Living Legend - Bad mixing and mastering, the leaked version sounds better
 
Cherry Blossom & Nectar - Bad mastering, leaked versions sound better.
 
Sweet Carolina - Terrible mastering work here, vocal distortion, bad vocal mixing.
 
Kintsugi - Vocal muffled to death
 
Fingertips - Vocal distortion, bad instrumental engineering
 
Margaret - Terrible vocal mixing, messy work on engineering throughout, muffled to death
 
Fishtail - MUFFLED TO DEATH
 
Peppers - MUFFLED TO DEATH and terrible mixing on chorus, bad vocal mixing, clicks, cracks, this is what you would expect an amateur soundcloud beat maker to create
 
Taco Truck - Vocals are so muffled its unlistenable, horrible vocal mixing, bad mastering almost ear piercing like American, sounds cheap honestly
 
Looking For America - Muffled, filled with clicks, bad mastering, obvious pitch correction in spots
 
I Can Fly - Messy engineering in the chorus, vocals slightly over processed 

hollywood’s dead without auto tune sounds AMAZINGGG. hopefully someone else leaks it

In Chemtrails, where she switches from "go to the market, the kids' swimming pools" to "baby, what's your sign?", it's very noticeable it's a different vocal take, or at least the EQ sounds different, deeper if you will? With more lows.

i can fly 
i feel like i can hear her mouth noises too loud

BLACK BATHING SUIT .. i love the roughness of it but it would eat harder if it was professionally mixed n stuff

Sorry but I love “Heroin” so much by the way it’s my top streamed song among all of Lana’s tracks however the song has a very annoying issue which is the mic wind noise when Lana sings if you notice when you turn up the volume you can hear the wind noise and it’s very irritating to me otherwise the rest of the song is a 10/10

fishtail omg laura sisk you will be dealt with

Has it been long enough for me to admit that the drums on Wildflower Wildfire actually drive me nuts 

many songs off of blue banisters  thunder having remnants of the demo still audible is just criminal

I can only imagine the PTSD if she ever got to hear this rework. 
 
Idk, every time we heard of these Electronic producers I always imagined cute synth midtempo reworks but just now I realized she wasn't in the room, so all they got was probably a memo from Interscope with "Do your thing Hun" along with the multitracks. Especially coming from the fact that Summertime Sadness Remix was still the main song people would associate with her until circa 2019 when people finally LET GO of that; producers were probably still frothing at the mouth for a chance of remixing her. And it's basically that, a remix. 
 
Anyway cannot get over the fact STINT got the best of it with the booming drums version and all this time I thought that was the Ford one.

I TOLD YALL OMG I KNEW IT WAS REAL

if this is how we start leakmas id rather it not happen

Why is this lowkey the best version 

well the intro was nice 

I’m a dragon, you’re a whore. Don’t even know what you’re good for. Mimicking me is a fuckin’ bore to me 

Gods & Monsters
 
In the land of gods and monsters 
I was an angel ... 
looking to get fucked hard 

"I wear my diamonds on skid row" 

Not saying she supports Trump, but me personally, i'm afraid she is throwing away all of the ideals she had fought for in the past for a man such as Jeremy.
 
It's not about judging her, it's about being critical about her decisions and the things she stands for (or we think she does), i love Lana with all my heart, i think she has truly saved my life in some sort of way, but that does not mean us as fans have to let slide the fact she married a publicly and apparently proud MAGA supporter after the political idea she has built over the years.
 

I can’t find the actual video anymore but this

LDR albums as human organs & why:
AKA - liver - most active between 1 to 3 AM, and for me this album has a very summer night vibe BTD - brain - most important, most known Paradise (EP, but shut up) - eye - very visual and very pretty, just like the album Ultraviolence - lungs - harmed by cigarettes and provide oxygen to the rest of the body, the album just gives me a lung vibe Honeymoon -  heart - in my mind honeymoon is very pinkish aesthetic wise and so is the heart Lust for Life - spleen - praised by people who know it ignored by the rest just like the organ NFR! - large intestine - absorbs useful stuff and everything after it is feces, just like this album is also one of the best and everything after it is a bit ... COCC - kidney - useful, but also can live without one just as you can ignore this album BB - appendix - actually good, but most people have negative opinions about it Ocean Blvd - mammary gland - just because of the cover where you can see Lana's boob
