Art Deco's "why"'s give me BTD teas and I'm crying

1+

Right now it's HM=UV>>BTD>>P for me..
 
I LOVE Honeymoon's production. Production-wise, it's my favorite Lana album next to Born to Die.. It's just so pleasing to listen to.  However, Ultraviolence is so cohesive and I identify with the mood of that album so much, it feels like it tells a complete story from beginning to end and I love it. Honeymoon seems slightly less cohesive concept-wise, which isn't a problem, this was just one of the reasons I adore UV so much. So for these reasons, I don't think I can rank HM above UV or vise versa. HM for its production, UV for its dark vibe and the way I personally connect with it.

I love Ultraviolence, but I also love how it divides the Lana fandom for some reason, like when someone passionately loves it (me!) and someone else passionately dislikes it, it amuses me so much... not in a condescending way, I just get a kick out of how divisive it is as a body of work. 

I also want lana to come back dirtier than she ever was before
 
i want the lead single from that album to be about her p***y and how it pleases her man and then 2 promo singles (one about midnight drives and the other about the first day of summer) and then i want her to give us a fake date to her new album but release it earlier so it doesnt leak and on the day she releases it she drives around LA with a biker gang on their bikes promoting her new album and handing out posters

The Blackest Day omg

the bridge saves HBTB for me, it hits me so hard still, it haunts me haha

no ultraviolence at all? haha

oh my god sistrens do NOT come for Burnt Norton!!!!! the interlude is all like secret cult-ish and makes me feel like yassss Lana lemme join the illuminati !!!

I'm really digging Religion, The Blackest Day, Swan Song, Salvatore and Art Deco right now. Yesterday I didn't think I'd ever enjoy Swan Song the way I do now, the production is so damn gooooood and I don't give a fuck about the repeating chorus- didn't bother me on Ultraviolence, doesn't bother me now!

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

right now (this has changed and will change):
 
ultraviolence = honeymoon > aka >>> paradise > btd 

Honeymoon = UV > AKA = Sirens > Paradise = BTD 
 
I love Siren's folkyness too much its really sad lol 

100%

i think at this stage its safe to say there are no bonus tracks.
 
 
 
 
dont let me be misunderstood is growing on me. by no means loving it, but its nice enough in hq and as a closer.

no ultraviolence at all? 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.

I felt the same way about Swan Song and it's so so SO much better in hq, like it went from being one of my least favorites to one of my favorite songs.

no ultraviolence at all? haha

Ultraviolence>Honeymoon>AKA>Born to Die=Paradise
 
For now UV still reigns supreme, will check back after full HM release and listening.

I think Chuck is a bad photographer for Lana 

the billie holiday part is what makes it great, imo

My trinity: Freak, Religion, Salvatore
 
and then there's Art Deco that just wants to get in!
 
But then again these are the songs I've listened to in LQ up to now HQ. This is my first time hearing the other songs. I think the Blackest Day and 24 wll soon pop up there as my favorites too.
