Thinking about how the snippet of TG had me by the neck when it first leaked

LMAO the St. Vincent and Billie Eilish records in the background. A king.

At this point she should have enough material to release three volumes of Masochism and a repackage

I want to start listening to Britney seriously. Which albums contain her best moments musically?

Honestly the album was kind of shapeless without the visuals but after watching this in full, I can't see it being anything other than a masterpiece. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q55AVeXzqeE

Charli, Lucy Liu is THE song that will take gay rights to the next level. Not saying we need it but we kinda need it.

One of the realest things I've ever read on this website. Obviously not everyone takes Lana's music so seriously but being young and impressionable and wanting to see Lana as a role model when I was younger definitely had me in a weird place mentally

It leaked in 128kbps through Vimeo

I don't know what I was expecting when I looked it up but it wasn't that LMFAO

I feel so tasteless saying this but as a whole, this album didn’t do it for me compared to The Idler Wheel

Ah her take on that J-pop sound is sooo satisfying to hear. So much of that and R&B throughout the record that I don't even want to try and assess the songs on a critical level. They're just fun as hell.

I still can't believe the OPN tracks never saw the light of day. The ritualistic sound effects and vocals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnGGY-1bdW8

The piano demo she played of Pink Convertible is doing something for me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LOzvZGlNxA Probably my favorite visual so far

I think it’d be cool to hear more organic instrumentation in Lana’s productions. Like the kind of clarity you hear in jazz music or Fiona Apple’s The Idler Wheel. The first version of Yes to Heaven that leaked kinda has a bit of that sound I’m talking about

I don’t think I ever listened to The Edge of Glory at home just because of how much it was played on the radio but I listened to it with headphones and the little synths throughout the song..

Oh wow is this what spoken word albums are usually like? With music and whatnot? Idk why I thought it was just going to be her talking in a recording booth for an hour straight

AG Cook is really blurring the lines between Charli XCX and Hatsune Miku and I’m lowkey living Electropop heaven

The Clean Bandit bit made me laugh Honestly I feel like her career has always had weird in the sense that she occupies the space between being pop (EH, L+F) and being alternative (TFJ, Froot). I feel like every album release has caused division one way or another because of that. It’s just a collection of catchy pop songs (pop by 2019’s standards) and I think that’s all it should really be taken for. Context is important. EH’s production is borderline unlistenable and embarassing if you take away the fact that it was meant to be satirical. Plus, if you polled average music fans, I feel like the preferences wouldn’t necessarily be skewed to an album like EH (which is the most comparable album to L+F in her discography). They both essentially follow the same formula. One has more personality and a better executed concept but at the end of the day, an album like EH isn’t heaps and bounds better than some songs on L+F. Could L+F been more well-executed and thought out? Yes. It still has faults and weak points but stans pretending like it’s not listenable when we’ve been fed equally generic stuff under the guise of it being ironic and whatnot is a kii.

I think you'll only find yourself disappointed to keep holding expectations on pop stars to publicly comment on things like this. She's a public figure and things of this nature will only be used to damage her career instead of creating a genuine discussion. Whether her silence makes her compliant or a bad person is up to you but that's just the tradeoff she has to make as a celebrity unfortunately And I think trying to get an answer from someone who's job relies on trying to reach as many people as possible makes it a bit of a lost cause.

Seeing Good in Bed near the bottom of everyone's ranking has me reevaluating my music taste

Y'all expecting L+F to have changed the pop landscape I mean, wasn't the goal of L+F to incorporate elements of modern pop trends from the time it was being recorded. The fact that none of L+F ever had an ample chance at getting airplay on the radio says a lot about how much watering down actually occurs for a song to be truly considered "commercial." I doubt her label actually expected L+F to be a hit record so a lot of the songs retained some pretty interesting sonic elements that would've otherwise been put on the chopping block. That alone makes this album so much more interesting than what's considered commercial Yeah, it's no masterpiece but it did a good job at what it was set out to do.

What is good commercial music, serious question.

Is a deluxe version confirmed?

Wonder if an intro or an interlude could've made it feel more fleshed out
