The Guardian review is out too

Part of the problem is that they only give whole star scores. Like they don’t do 3.5s or 4.5s. They stated in the review that if it weren’t for a couple of songs like Kintsugi that bring the album down, it would be on par with NFR for them. Since they gave NFR 5/5 stars, they really could only give DYK 4 stars at most. 

It's the original version of VB per the Rolling Stones interview, so it's not a remake 

They rarely give a 100, only a few times a year and not at all this year

They shouldn't worry about that 80 score by Mojo. NFR! only had 2 perfect scores (100/100).
 
Even Chemtrails had more (4).

me when i lie

I can't believe you are all listening to LQ/tagged/edited leaks and complaining about the songs 
 
at least give them the benefit of the doubt and wait until they're fully HQ

zach dawes produced thunder, california, and black bathing suit so i’m not worried at all  it’s gonna be such a massive serve 

i'm floored...  putting this on a spoiler cause it's personal and i know no one cares but this was my experience listening to "the grants" for the first time today...
 

okay you know what i bit my tongue long enough but both of you contribute NOTHING to this forum but pure negativity and bitchiness and i am TIRED of it. i would ignore your posts but i think it actually needs to be addressed.. there’s a difference between other members (i’m not going to name drop but i’m sure some of you know who i’m talking about) who can be bitchy and rude etc but they balance it out and their points are valid with an argument etc 
 
but this is just fucking ridiculous now 
either log off and go and deal with the people who are making you that miserable that you think your safe haven is an INTERNET FORUM for LANA DEL fucking REY for you to just spout constant negativity, or just leave the forum and find other people to harass. 
@barttttender you’ve made it clear you don’t like lana other than nfr which is fine, but fuck off. stop tearing her work down and literally everyone else’s. it is not cute to be bitchy. 
@blackpalmtrees you have started fights with so many people here and it is exhausting
you are also rude and dismissive of other peoples opinions 
 
both of you need a fucking reality check, it is never that deep and how pathetic do your lives have to be to keep tearing down other people anonymously? like jesus fucking christ
some of these new users are completely unbearable and it is no wonder that so many people i’ve enjoyed the presence of have just left
 
i don’t want anyone else to be driven away to leave because of insufferable constant bullshit

its ok just letting u know 
 
 

only that?

HER BEST ALBUMS I MUST SAY
 

8.8

My “Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd” Album Ranking and Short Track Reviews (leaving out the interludes and campy necklace):
 
 
 

Well she ate

i know she has it

Pitchfork is going to eat this album up. 

i think most part of it is very cohesive, but she has some experimental approaches. In my opinion, its not that delusional. Venice bitch was very experimental to lana's discography and the critiques received well, just like A&W, and i think shes very reminiscent of NFR with the soundscape of the record, like, its mostly produced by Jack again, the lyrics are very interesting just like her less commercial past records that she had a very stable acclaim. The only thing that itches me is: the featurings and how other experimental tracks will be received since its a risky choice, it can be a 8 or 80 u know?
