for real, his opinion isn’t that important bc he’s just so biased about everything anyways
 
i don’t even consider him a real music critic, he’s just a guy on youtube talking about the music he likes and music he hates. i find it hard to believe he actually knows what he’s talking about when it comes to actual music production, writing, etc
 
at least he gave a&w a good rating, though

anyone who cares that much about fantano’s opinion is very clearly not lana’s target demographic anyway, he‘s irrelevant  i thought the only people who watched him were musty incels. i’m never forgiving his bald ass for giving Ultraviolence a 1/10

Are the stream numbers only from spotify? Like, I mostly use youtube,  listened to A&W on spotify on premiere day and that was it 

no one does stems like lana

Haven't seen anyone begging for her to go back to UV style in a hot minute. You know why? Bc Lana managed to incorporate the darkness in sound and lyrics of uv, combined with the vulnerability and melodic genius of her newly obtained sound (nfr, cocc and bb) into this wonderful fusion we now have for an album. And I can't believe I'm saying this, but its all thanks to Jack. We wouldn't be getting any of this had he not helped her craft a new soundscape that is not only a departure from what we're used to, but also vastly on brand for her. We're cooking with grease now. And for all of us who were worried about the quality going forward after the past two eras, she really shut us right tf up

umm this thread was last updated 4 hours ago? that sounds so wrong 

Lana definitely is a feminist in her own way. Some people just don't get her POV though, which is fair enough, as Lana herself isn't creating or even considering anything through those lenses, at least not in the earlier years, dunno about now. A&W can definitely be perceived as a feminist statement because of the social commentary. I hate political stuff, but I think, if you can't see that Lana is a strong woman navigating on her own terms through her music, then bombarding her with claims of anti-feminism is redundant. Songs like Wild One really encapsulate the idea. I think where people go wrong, is questioning how a woman could or should behave in a romantic relationship. If a woman wants to take on a more traditional role, I don't think that's anti-feminism at all. Neither is writing love/heartbreak songs. But I always felt like Lana's music was much, much deeper than that. 

something tells me this album will be very nostalgic- and not just in a “typical” lana sense where it touches on 20th century 1920-1980s references, but im really hoping for some 90s-00s nostalgia with this record. but that might just be my own bias of feeling very nostalgic for my own childhood at the moment lol

definitely not as often as they used to. with music streaming service subscriptions it tends to be easier to pay a monthly fee than $1.29 per song you want to buy. 

yep, i agree. she’s definitely not as “blunt” about her beliefs as a lot with women are, but you can tell with her lyrics and everything that she is definitely a feminist. i’m sick of the “romanticizing abuse” thing too, i don’t get it- why can’t she just write about her pain and experiences without being called a whore? makes me wonder about the line from “A&W,” referencing rape and how people believed she’d have asked for it if she was raped. maybe that’s a comment on all of the people saying she romanticizes and asks for sexual abuse.

the softer part after the beat drop has the exact chord progression as “freak,” i wonder if it’ll sound similar to that???
