Crimson and Clover

I really hope there's 10+ songs she's fully capable of doing it in the amount of time she has to do it. especially if she ends up working with jack too I think him producing a cover could be very... interesting  and she better give us a proper cover and vinyl release 

except for the odd song here and there, it’s rare-ish for me to actively dislike any song she’s put out.... but now im finding myself actively hating the last three she’s put out in a row  YNWA, Summertime and LMLYLAW. im beginning to think she’s lost everything that made her appeal to me in the first place, or at least gone in a direction i no longer relate to, which is sad because of how hard ive stanned from BTD all the way to NFR. although im hoping that cotcc in full will prove me wrong. 
 
even if this is it though ill still be grateful for all the great albums and unreleased that she’s provided me with  

i totally agree with this! i think what truly makes NFR special is the lyrics and how raw everything feels, the stripped back instrumenation of the album really let’s her voice and lyrical content shine. ultraviolence definitely has it’s sad moments and dark subject matter like pretty when you cry and sad girl but lana herself doesn’t necessarily act too upset that things are falling apart in the relationship, it seems that she’s almost in love with the idea of the brokenness. however throughout NFR she becomes aware of how fucked up everything is and how badly it’s affecting her which i think makes the music much more heartbreaking and relatable. 

my break down song was HIAB  literally in the middle of waking to class and hearing that song, tears started STREAMING down my face and people were staring at me 

right  broke up with my bf with that album and HIADT and HIAB just has hit so different ever since

nfr is truly a great body of work, and although i can understand why some haven't been able to warm up to it, i think it's a really great album and it's already a classic in her discography  bartender is that song! 

lmaoooooooooo yes. especially title track, cinnamon girl, HIAB, and the greatest 
 
bonus points for california because i actually broke down crying while driving to that song 

thissss lol. I was really going through it when NFR dropped and it essentially defined that mental breakdown for me (which is also why it's now really difficult to listen back to that album)
 
To contribute on the note of UnpopOpins, I think that NFR is actually truly her saddest album. I feel like everyone always goes for Born to Die since that's what defined her as miss "Hollywood Sadcore" or even Ultraviolence, but the songs of NFR are extremely gut-wrenching in their meaning. California, The Greatest, Cinnamon Girl, Happiness is a Butterfly, Hope... all songs that are absolutely heartbreaking, and the sadness is almost.. more genuine, if that makes sense. Like, it's very raw. It's deeper than the songs on other albums in the sense that the pain is really coming out from her heart and soul. It's palpable x 
 
 
The first time I listened to California I was completely fine up until the second half of the chorus ("We'll do whatever you want, travel wherever how far..) and then I just completely burst into a full-blown sob session. It was so sudden and full force, it was like I had just watched someone get shot. While I was crying I was like, what tf just happened?? I was fine literally a second ago?? Whew, that song took me by surprise, and considering the situation I was going through, it hit waaaaaaay way way too close x

i had a fight with my boyfriend just before the release at midnight 

yes to the gucci face mask 

Here’s mine! <3

What a great year for music! Can’t wait for 2021

You bested me on genres ? you're the first to do so that I've seen. Bravo

if you think nfr is a bad album you just have to wait for your next rock bottom mental breakdown where you end up relistening to the whole thing and then the album will find a special place in you 

i've been afraid to say this on here but yeah  imo her best covers are of folk/rock, and if she's doing jazz I think she has to add her own twists to it, which is why I think the Other Woman is her best jazz cover (and the cover itself is not entirely jazz either)

It’s so boring  

summertime's her worst cover. the production great, the part at the beginning with the backup singers is amazing, but her vocals on it don't fit the song at all. it's uncomfortable to listen to.

choosing violence today w/ a probably super unpopular opinion but I would have preferred Ultraviolence to consist of Tracks 1 - 7 (up to PWYC) and then the bonus tracks to replace the rest (maybe throw Old Money into it)  I feel like they have would fit the album better and would have more of an impact tbh, especially with Flipside and Is This Happiness! Also, I think Guns and Roses is a solid track, I understand why people might not like it but it's pretty great to me. My ideal tracklist would have probably been something like:
