Should we make a post-release thread yet? I'm so eager to discuss song theories

Wow I feel exactly the same, thank you for saying it this well. I actually interestingly feel that UV is much more cohesive, UV was so violent, in-tha-face in terms of concept, but to me it's obvious that HM is just a story, with a beginning and an end and a distinct progression, which I don't felt that much in UV, which is more like peaks of intense emotions varying on similar themes.

I actually think she's MUCH more happy now... Idk. She's in stable relationship, she did the album she wanted exactly, and the fact that she does promo even though it's messy af and especially the fact that PRECISELY she's not as BLATANTLY vocal about how she loves the record feels like she isn't forcing herself, she's sure of what she's doing and she knows it's her best piece of work yet. Visually, to me nothing beats the rock chick with smoky eyeshadow from UV, even the iconic white T haunts my dreams. Uv era visuals are forever goals. I find HM more vintage, but in a very different, more mature, less badass but more assured way.

No but can you imagine though,,,, I know you're being ironical but if she continue being this happy and satisfied and mature and INTERESTED in what she does, I don't think we can even imagine how it would end up being like. I'm sure she has the potential to do really seemingly uncharacteristic moves but that actually end up being her 10000% because she's so damn good at being unpredictable. Who knows is she won't do a watered down version of this haha

queen of music

Omg, living for this in theory. I don't think it'd be this good for her wellbeing even though she screamed on every roof how proud and in love she was with UV, but I would adore some other rockish jazzy anthems to die and reborn in the haze of the dead of night

Tbh, I'm ending up snatched with extreme violence everytime, I can't grasp this woman, it's always unexpected and insanely better than what I thought it'd be, she could record herself sleeping and I'd cry on it and buy 3 vinyls

My issue with GnR is that the first part of the verse is amazing, really excellent and then it all goes down in a split second after the 0:26 mark

Fair enough, I do not have listened to the album as a whole yet. But I adore the song in itself. I personally immensely relate to it though and I find it extremely empowering, which I agree might not be the case for everyone. To me the worst song would be Honeymoon or Terrence Loves You, I'm really unlucky because every single song Lana considers to be her favourite is usually the one I dislike the most I super love it it's gorgeous and haunting

And in terms of album rankings, I adore Sirens really a lot, as well as FTE/YLM, but it too me months of intense stanning. On the other end, Paradise leaves me numb. I listen to certain songs repetitively but the overall album concept is... Too... American for me, I don't know. It's like the untouchable 5 for me. And apart from that, the unreleased are definitely superior to any album in my eyes. Edit: I forgot AKA, I love the whole concept of the album but there are songs that I really don't listen to, and some songs that I really like but always find something better to hear.

Respectfully but strongly disagree, turn on your location, I love this song to after the afterlife and it helped me in so many ways. But, I'm a huge fan of French hip hop so I admit that my opinion might not be valid haha

Honeymoon did the unthinkable and topped UV for me but not necessarily because of purely musical reasons, it's because it's dark but it's happy, and it's reclaimed which is the EXACT state I am in right now. I wish I had discovered UV earlier because this record is an absolute jewel especially in its indulgence in self-awareness of the sadness, it's a blunt word but I can't find another one, melancholia maybe. Honeymoon, when I actually really dislike this name in itself compared to the spectacular ultraviolence term, is the incredible and extremely cohesive follow-up to this sadness. It reminds me of earlier this year when I got back into severe depression and I can pinpoint the exact moment I turned back and got up. Honeymoon feels like this. It feels like acknowledging the melancholia, but instead of easily being overwhelmed by it, reclaiming it and controlling it. I don't want to say that I prefer Honeymoon just because it's just out and I love theoretically everything Lana does. I've never related that much to any artist ever and I feel a real connection to the way she approaches her work and mine. I apologize, I don't want to sound pretentious, I am just completely astonished to find myself in front of a work that is the exact depiction of the path my mind took this past year, exactly in the same time than the UV and Honeymoon eras. Whereas in UV there are songs that I basically ignore, in Honeymoon, I find myself respecting the songs that I find to be less spectacular because of how obvious it is that this piece of work is seamless solid and cohesive and makes sense as a whole, in maybe a much less raw and raspy way than UV, but in a polished assurance, and full of extreme and pure emotion. tl;dr: Honeymoon is the best album ever made in my humble opinion, but not necessarily musically.

Seems fair I'll start stressing about it when the hype for Friday will be over but I'm not forgetting this haha By the way, does someone knows if I can bring flowers? I would immensely at least bring her a rose but I don't know if it's usually possible in signings And I found my essay back, definitely giving her this utter mess!

Omfg really? There isn't any tube that I can take at this hour!!! Oh God what a meltdown! From the pics though it doesn't seem to be this early... Not many fans know she's doing it or care enough to go up until the studios I want to believe. Jesus what I do for her

I don't get what yall are saying Swan Song is awesome and powerful and the lyrics are good à la Sad Girl but still good

Deleting slowly the UO recordings one by one is the most satisfying thing I've done in a while

8am This is my very first time ever doing something like this so I refuse to let my chance go. I've been trying to find the bloody address from the candids and I quit, I just can't, I'm ripping the very few hair that I have left after the leak

Now you're making me hopeful... Fucking hell I want to see her. which time are you playing? It's 2h of walk for me We'll probably have more chance to see her after though! Apart if she has a plane or something!

don't spoil my joy please I guess you won't like my other posts because I've been soft here enjoy the album xx

I know but this time no tmi but I had an enormous zit on the chin for two fucking weeks and I just checked and the devil eat my soul if I lie but it's healed!! it's starting to go I'm fucking dead bc I'm not wearing makeup so I won't look as bad as I thought thank you honey I'm so excited I still think it's a dream I mean like 20min before the mess started I walked so long to find V... my entire life revolves on her rn

I swear to God this time I'm not extra, I've been scotched to my screen for hours and I just checked in a mirror and MY SKIN CLEARED UP. I WILL HAVE CLEAR SKIN WHEN SEEING LANA. THIS ALBUM IS A MIRACLE. I AM SPEECHLESS I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS REAL

I THOUGHT YESTERDAY WAS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE BUT THIS ALBUM IN HQ IS ALL I'VE EVER BEEN CRAVING FOR IN MY LOVE FOR GOD THIS IS THE BEST MUSIC I'VE EVER HEARD

Thank you so much bb <333 well we'll see each other then haha! even though it's extremely probably that she just pass in her car... I'll still be here with both my vinyls tbh

RELIGION AND ART DECO >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> MY EXISTENCE AS A WHOLE

In the interview Tbh I'm more and more thinking to go I'm still in holidays I would wait all fucking day long I don't even care if I see her Friday to this point
