Oh honey, it's okay. I understand who managed to connect, but I see these problems. There's a lot of controversial Lana songs that I like too.

The end of Ocean Blvd is so nice when she says
 
"Don't forget me / at the tunnel under Ocean Boulevard / Don't forget me / at the tunnel under Ocean Boulevard"
 
The melody of the words rises and falls deliciously, like waves
 
At             tunnel                 Ocean
       the                  under                   Boulevard 
 
And I'm like:  

I can't with Beutiful.
The lyrics sound like she's at her lowest point of inspiration. It sounds like she just wants to prove that she knows what Picasso's blue period is, and it sounds extremely cheesy. So cheesy that, if she had chosen Van Gogh to reference, I would have aborted the album right there.
Beautifuuuuul liiiike you's melody is ear-splitting -- just like baby bluuue.
Lately she's gone overboard with piano ballads so much that my uncle asked her if that's all she does. 

Well BOZ asked on Twitter if Lana ever sampled her own song so… 

To the people complaining about the two tracks that were sent in as piano compositions, it doesn't mean they will be completely piano ballad songs, additional production may be added and the mixing can be changed soo who knows, for an example Ocean Blvd has piano at core but the production has additional instruments and the song structure is very good with the song progressing more and more as it goes, this album will be interesting based on the info we know so far about its experimental features, interesting interludes etc. So who knows maybe she'll pull something interesting here, also a paino ballad or two on the record won't hurt us 😏

Oh, gosh, when they complain about piano tracks, they mean piano-only ballads, not Cruel World. 
 
Don't get me wrong, I don't hate piano tracks (and when I say that, it's only piano).
She has already created amazing ballads. When the track is just piano, it naturally creates that feeling that it's going to be very intimate and that we have to pay close attention to what it's going to say. Then out comes Hope, Old Money, and wow, amazing! However, lately we've had something just ok like Beautiful, so I think sometimes it misses out on that piano ballad aura and ends up overdoing it.

I'm always sad seeing people hate on Beautiful since it's my favorite track on Blue Banisters :((((

For me, it will be the real successor to the NFR. I respect the last two albums a lot and love them, but I believe that Chemtrails was purposefully understated, whereas Blue Banisters was a deal-breaker.

idc, hate me for saying it but her piano ballads are usually snoozes that I skip and have no natural desire to come back to. Beautiful is perhaps the worst offender on BB but I also skip Cherry Blossom, Sweet Carolina, VFR, Arcadia and Blue Banisters  they’re boring sorry. Just MY opinion. Give me something with a pulse mother! 
 
I like the title track for Did You Know.. but I personally need the rest of the album to have more variety (louder drums, guitars, prominent bass, etc.) 

I'm just so happy longer LDR tracks are back. She is at her BEST creatively when she has the room to experiment, expand, and evoke a variety of emotions in 4:45 and up 

i dont hate piano, i like it. as long it's not a sweet carolina type of thing... we need a Wildflower Wildfire moment
or also a very dramatic piano moment, just like the RIOPY inst someone shared above

the fact that she is collaborating with professional pianists.

This is not a dig at COCC or BB, as I admire and adore both projects, but this album is shaping up to blow those two out of the water and be a career highlight with "Born to Die," "Ultraviolence," "Honeymoon," and "Norman Fucking Rockwell."

I prefer to believe that there will be piano, but not throughout the entire track. She can put a drum on top and 5 electric guitars and I forgive her.
 
(Is it possible that Fingertips will only have piano? If she doesn't scream that she doesn't want to live... ) 
 

Yes! 
Oh, gosh, that's why my hype is huge for this album. They say there will be tracks with unusual verse-chorus constructions, strange elements... I couldn't ask for more.
 
I imagine tracks with sudden changes in atmosphere and mood, like Text Book. Tracks that interrupt the sung melody for Lana to come out and say something. Knowing that there are several tracks with long minutes makes it obvious that we will have a lot of this. That's a long time for just some sappy verses and chorus.
 
p.s: The bridge of living legend for me is one of the highlights of career. She needs to reproduce live.
 

I’ve always trusted Lana and her artistic choices, but I’ve never trusted her as much as I do now. Tunnel is going to be an amaizing project.
