Artistically, I don't think she's declining. She's exploring different sounds with each album, so it might be hard to take if you're super attached to a sound from one specific era of hers. You have BTD stans who keep waiting for her to return to that style of music, UV stans who wanted her to continue that way, meanwhile Lana just wants to make songs with whatever sound she finds interesting at the time.
 
There's no denying that budget-wise things aren't as great as they were in the BTD days when she was putting out masterpieces like the Ride video. But I think this is a result of a business situation rather than because Lana is starting to suck.

In Off to the Races, I always heard Chateu Marmot as "trapped oh mama."

Am I the only one who thought it was shady that she said "Good time to hallucinate? I don't know." when FJM talked about dropping acid at that Taylor concert?

Posting my final update for a long time! Here are the latest magazines I got.
 

 
I wanted to post just one picture with all my mags together, but they wouldn't fit, so I have to break them up into four pics.

The Lana Collection

The Shrine, where 70% of it lives
Inside and outside of the shrine are a lot of different components which I've divided into Clothing, Magazines, Music, and Miscellaneous, and then those will have subcategories. In the spoilers will be details of what everything is. Enjoy!

So jealous. I have the Urban Outfitters Honeymoon vinyl signed by her but her first magazine cover would be cooler. But I shouldn't complain since it's amazing to have anything signed by her lol.

The only change about her appearance that I thought was unflattering were her puffed up cheeks, and I don't even think her weight gain caused it. It looked like obvious fillers to me and I couldn't figure out why she would do that. 
 
She looked like a goddess the other night at the Freak premiere and her cheeks had finally settled down enough for her to look better.
 
As for her weight gain, I don't know if it was depression, but maybe she just felt less pressure about what she eats and everything since she doesn't care about the pop star light anymore. Or maybe all that Italian food fattened her up. 
Also, I don't think she always looks a mess in public. Actually some of her cutest candid outfits are from after the BTD era.
 

 

 

 

 
And she looked like a goddess at the wedding she went to with Frannykins.

^ Oh, I thought she said, "I'm talking to my friends." If she ever got mad at me like that I would cry for months.

I've always assumed from some of her past quotes and a lot of her lyrics that she believes in God, but the lectures she's been promoting on the Honeymoon hotline have strong atheist undertones. The book A Universe from Nothing and the lecture by Lawrence Krauss are basically all about how the universe was naturally able to create itself out of nothing, and that no divine power or god was needed for it. He talks about religion and the flawed thinking behind a higher power in his lecture and he's also an atheist activist. I just thought it was interesting that Lana would recommend these things to her fans, because I've always seen her as a believer. Like even though she could just be interested in the science of it, the reason behind the research has a political bent to it and the lectures themselves don't shy away from criticizing the idea of a god.

I am stupid af so I don't know how to do spoiler 
Well it isn't even big for spoiler haha
My collection looks like a total loser compared to everybody..

I have a CD and merch collection but don't have the photo  
 
You guys have wonderful collections..!!!

Mainly she just introduced me to a whole new sound of music, and she gave me an appreciation for music videos. Before her, I didn't really care about music videos, but since I knew how into visuals she was, I watched her videography and got a real appreciation for that art form. But the main thing is that she opened my eyes to her unique sound, and she gave me a curiosity about discovering more great artists with uncommon sounds.
