tbh whenever lana releases an album, i usually spend less time online in general. leading up to the release its all i think about so i'm online talking about it constantly and wondering what it'll be like but once its out i'm just enjoying it. i don't really care to write big reviews and analyses, it just doesn't matter to me. sometimes i'll have random thoughts i wanna share here and there about the songs or i'll be curious about othwr people's opinions but for the most part, i just wanna enjoy the album on my own. its like i only stream it til my records show up, thwn i listen to my records instead. so i don't think people talking about the album less or streaming it less means we're all over it. its just, what is there to say that hasn't already been said? like we're not gonna force conversation just to prove we still like the album

i feel like neither of these albums are about personal growth but i guess its all in the eye of the beholder. i feel like both cotcc and bb are a lot more existential and are rooted much more in acceptance of self than trying to better herself.

i don't personally think she has any bad albums but i might ranklust for life at the bottom bc some of the sentiments feel kind of forced like she was trying to force personal growth for the public's sake or maybe even (don't hate me) born to die bc the production is a little too much at times and kind of repetitive but i love both those albums still, but i do like blue banisters better than those two. but then blue banisters also has a sort of sisterhood/motherhood theme that i connect to very deeply so i realize i might be biased in how much i love this album.

oh, no, she was definitely trying to do this, it's a shame that we're in a culture that seems to only focus on the perspective of a woman who is portrayed to be strong, independent, etc. and for many years a lot of people felt that lana was anti-feminist for expressing her experiences which didn't align with that image, she talked about her feelings and experiences artistically and evocatively, i'm glad that nowadays, she feels more comfortable with talking about dark subjects, troublesome emotions, and the feelings and experiences who made her who she is as a person, i just wish people would realize that a woman feeling a certain way about relationships or what it means for them to be a woman doesn't mean that they're acting in a way that is somehow anti-feminist or is detrimental

i genuinely like bb and think its a great album. not her best, but also not her worst. all the songs are enjoyable and while its not sonically cohesive at times, it sticks to a clear theme and flows nicely. i feel like most people don't like it bc its probably her most stripped back and unpolished record plus people don't seem to like that she used leaked songs untouched (altho people would be angry if she reworked them too so theres no winning!) overall it kind of reminds me of carly simon's boys in the trees album. i think in a few years the fans will come around to this one just like they do for every other record of hers.

That’s well said.

I really think bb is overhated. Yeah it’s not very cohesive and there’s some weak tracks and production but I absolutely love some of the songs… I like it better than chemtrails tbh and I like chemtrails. Wfwf, black bathing suit, thunder, and sweet Carolina are beautiful songs. Dealer is unlike anything she’s ever done! Not to mention finally getting living legend, nectar of the gods, and cherry blossom released. Idk why it’s just very special to me. It was cool hearing a more personal side of her! 

why is there so much bb hate, i love it
it was the first lana vinyl i ever bought too
before ocean blvd, it was tied with UV for my favorite album, now it's tied with NFR tho (below UV, HM, and OB)

before ocean blvd, it was her best lyricism to date, and holds some of my all time favorite songs in it like Violets For Roses, Thunder, Living Legend, etc.
 

if this album is “terrible” explain this: 
 
All roads that lead to you as integral to me as arteries
That pump the blood that flows straight to the heart of me
 
or this: 
 
Ever since I fell out of love with you, I fell back in love with me
And boy, does it feel sweet, like a summer breeze
Ever since I fell out of love with you, I fell back in love with the city
Like the Paramount sign sparkling, sparkling just for me

this will definitely be a standalone single
but it’s our job to make sure it becomes the lead single for the unreleased album!

Havent had time to come on here cuz of work, but god i fucking love the album so much. Got the vinyl already and gonna get the Amazon one once i get paid lmao
 
Did the instrumentals leak? Or are those filtered?

I actually love the Judah Smith Interlude, but I really need that instrumental.
