Ultraviolence is so much better for so many reasons. I really have to end it there otherwise I'm gonna go on for hours...

So you can get two turntables and play DJ when you crossfade the two trax

GKIT is a terrible song, all because of the chorus

Baby baby bye bye

This will maybe more fit the category of personal, non-biased statement, but I really like the sax in Art Deco, it is sexy, sensual, yet eerie and extraterrestrial. Its oriental, evocative melisma and almost antrophomorphic soundscape of the dancing and swirling ghost reminds me of spooky, morose instrumentals of Angelo Badalamenti in Twin Peaks, precisely, this:

It is like TP's exotic, cocktail, poolside, bellydance, steamy, neon and magmatically fervid version. Like the other side of the Moon with sax as a red thread or cobra rising from the basket that connects both worlds.
 
 
Also, I have flashes of reminiscence to this Portishead song (except here sax is more jazzy and defined):

During Honeymoon's leak and release I felt completely in love with it and kept listening to it on repeat. But now after days have gone by I feel like it's going to be an album I place on the shelf and only listen to when I'm reminded about it. Sure, it's Lana's most mature work so far but for me UV is still her best. Honeymoon is beautiful and less autobiographical but I feel like it's missing those monotone Lana cliches that I love (you have to admit she is very monotone lol). IDK this album is missing her Lana razzle-dazzle. It's slightly boring compared to the rest of her work but it's definitely a stride in the right direction. Still a very impactful album but certainly not her best. I guess I have to go back to listening to Sirens, UV, and her unreleased  

I kind of understand why Lana's music is characterised as 'depressing', but personally I think it's just more thoughtful and meditative and I guess adult than the 'contemporaries' she's (wrongly) lumped with. She's not a pop star, right? Comparing her to Katy or Taylor or whatever seems really redundant. Different universes.
 
She could be a great pop star if her unreleased stuff is anything to go by, but she's pretty much beyond that now. UV and HM are the work of a woman who walks her own path. I don't give a fuck about critics' 'scores' and ascribing some arbitrary number to her albums. Like that's going to change how I feel about the music.

I think she cares more about our intergalactic possibilities, like SpaceX and Tesla, you know?

eons ago, when UV was released and LB started chanting "Lana must go back to BTD aesthetic and sound!" is when i started thinking "?? what?? i love the sound of UV.. it's incredible..." and I was so pumped for another new direction in her sound and aesthetic with Honeymoon, so I never figured I'd be saying this.... but seriously.. even though I love Honeymoon as an album.... I really want her to work with producers like Emile Haynie again, I want her to look glamorous all the time and pull off that fierce look she used to own so well, and I want to hear the *sweetness* in her voice again and get more songs like Lolita, and music videos like Born To Die... I seriously want her to pump out songs I can actually dance to again, with a sound that appeals to the majority, like not just for myself but seeing her drift behind on the sales charts and not hit those high sales she used to makes me hurt lol, i want the masses to feel the same envy and love they had for Lana now as they did during the BTD era. don't get me wrong, i luv her and all her songs tho, but i really want her to go to a more pop sound with the next album

My favourite thing about being a Lana fan is that she's just fucking effortlessly cool.
 
She doesn't need to make a spectacle of herself on awards shows and talk shows to maintain her career and the media's interest in her.
She doesn't have a godawful cheap-ass perfume, line of clothes, shoes or accessories to extend her 'brand' (ugh).
No terrible, ill-fitting, cringey collaborations with lesser 'singers' to boost her exposure. 
She doesn't smize desperately from every magazine cover and saturate the media with her presence, until everyone's sick of her and willing her to fail.
She's just cool. And seems like a genuinely nice person. And she maintains integrity in the work she does.
 
OT, Honeymoon is perfect. I'm so pleased she has made no attempt to take a more accessible, radio- or chart-friendly approach.
 
I love being a fan. 

y'all the essays have made this thread unbearable

I'm kind of in love with Burnt Norton for what it is, it sounds fairly mysterious and eerie. I enjoy listening to it more than some other songs
