We know for a fact that Lana has said, multiple times, and in multiple ways, "But some of that [BTD] production! UUgghhh." 
 
I do think she would have stayed somewhat on that course, as she did with 'Paradise' and songs like 'Cola,' but about that time she had her public feud with Lorde and said that Lorde criticized her but then stolen her 'sound,' so I think she was happy with the general 'Paradise' production and only took a sharp swerve from it with 'UV' because she felt Lorde had stolen her sound. At the time, I remember thinking this was a huge boner move on Lana's part, that she should have 100% stood her ground. She would have ended up wiping the floor with Lorde. 

Kingsugi.

i remember that in the pre-release thread someone said something like ''wait until 2 weeks after the album release and then all the praise will be gone ''. and holy shit was that person right. and btw, whoever is saying she didn't do anything new in Ocean Blvd is either lying or tone-deaf. 

can't believe she used the word 'daddy' again but not in the way we'd be ready for  Kintsugi keeps on winning

Glad I’m not the only one who is obsessed with this song 

Does Arcadia sound like shit? Yes! Do I still love it with all my heart? Also yes!

One of my biggest reasons for not buying Lana’s merch (aside from price) is that many designs seem to not use official fonts or logos, and use photos from different eras for different albums. For example, the LDR eyes hoodie that says Blue Banisters under it. Nothing on that looks like something you’d relate to the music.
Theres just a rlly big disconnect between ldrvillage and Lana’s music. I wouldn’t mind t shirts with just a photo of the album or Lana on them, like the Peyote one and Paradise one from years ago. As long as it is actually cohesive

she probably does this so people won't recognize her that much lmfao

I think so 

I think so 

I love those actually, but why can't they drop them all at once? Just to make us pay for shipping more often? 

I really hope so! I didn’t like any of the stuff in the first drop that much. I was kinda confused by most of the designs. Like why the masquerade masks?? 

I also wonder if this is all related to Kill Kill, especially because it was originally titled “The Ocean” and she has that line in the demo that goes:
“Fresh from the shore, blond hair is wide
The ocean makes me cry”

I really hope so! I didn’t like any of the stuff in the first drop that much. I was kinda confused by most of the designs. Like why the masquerade masks?? 

Glad I’m not the only one who is obsessed with this song 

Exactly 

Yess there are apparently 2 more drops!  

Glad to hear. It's one of my Top Five all-time favorite Lana songs. I'm not saying it's objectively one of the Five Best Lana songs ever. But I never tire of it. 

I love 'Paradise,' I think it's vastly overlooked in her catalog. 'Cola,' 'Ride,' 'Yayo,' 'Gods & Monsters,' and 'Belair' are moody Lana classics, and 'America' is so under-appreciated for being a pure, happy little song. 

I think it's this: she used to be writing from her own experience but in a manner that was for a public, an audience, of some kind. In other words, she extrapolated her personal experience into something many or most could relate to, made it 'universal,' and that was part of her genius in that era. 
 
But since NFR! she's been 'inward gazing' a lot more and 'outward looking' a lot less. 
 
So I get the sense that she's now writing 100% what she wants to write, produce, and release, free of any feeling that she has to write for an audience of any kind.
 
Actually, this might have started with 'Honeymoon,' which she said she more-or-less created to please herself, and then taken a reversal with the more-fan-and-radio friendly LFL.  
 
But then she went full-tilt back into creating whatever she wants, free of any thoughts about her public, or a public, period. So we hear a lot more about walking to the mall, watching television, meeting for coffee, and doing the laundry--not exactly the stuff of of tense risk-taking, passion, and romance. 
 
Sometimes, as artists mature, they do leave the 'general public' behind--look at Joni Mitchell--she not only left the 'general public' behind after 'Court & Spark,' she left most of her diehard fans behind too, starting with 'The Hissing of Summer Lawns.'
 
In a Rolling Stone interview, she said, 'I'm going to be criticized regardless, and I'd rather be criticized for changing and doing what I want rather than for staying the same." 

Arcadia is pretty with a gorgeous melody and intention. 
 
BB isn't a phenomenal album like UV/NFR/OB/HM. But it's miles better than what other artists put out. Like Solar Power.
