i hate this picture of her so much 

I love the album Sirens.

I prefer LDR AKA LG over BTD (If that's an unpopular opinion)

Post your unpopular opinions on Lana Del Rey here! I will of course start:
 
 
The No Kung Fu "Yayo" shits all over the album version.

One of my most penultimate fav pics of Lana EVER legend my heart hurts

"Catch me if you can, working on my tan,
Dying by the hand of a foreign man happily"    I really hope Lana sings the perfection that is Salvatore live at one of the festivals 

She said in an Interview that she only wanted 11 songs on it.
The lable wanted the deluxe tracks.

and of course the original rick nowels album before Dan Auerbach got his hands on it and turned it into the rock album of the century that puppets like Kurt Cobain only wish they could have made in their lifetime

Can't forget about Pretty When You Cry music video, I have a feeling it would've been super controversial and that's why it went unreleased

This topic has been discussed in many different threads many times but I've decided that we need one specifically. Ultraviolence was not supposed to turn how it did. The album was first produced by Rick Nowels (Which can be heard on the Black Beauty Demo and Angels forever, forever angels) until she rerecorded it with Dan Auerbach. Originally there was a different music video for Ultraviolence, (which can be discussed here) it was essentially what happened in Jonestown but her label didn't like it. They scraped it and Francessco filmed a different version that was released later and is the one we know about today. Now the original uv video has finally come to light. It is in parts of the MTWBT video (The girls in the water, yes that was for UV), In the Honeymoon Album trailer, and now in Freak. Lana has also said in an Interview that she only wanted 11 songs on it but the label wanted the deluxe tracks. Other things that were changed was the alleged album art. Below is the one that was shot by Chuck. Some say it was changed because the cover was "controversial" and stores wouldn't sell it cause it had drugs on the cover. 
 
Original:
 

 
Other things that was removed was more footage in the West Coast Music Video. Parts are seen in the UV trailer and others in the one that was uploaded to vevo a couple days early that had alternate parts in it (The "original" West Coast video had the fire-scene looking even worse than the final one and it had a shot of her singing the chorus in the car, looking rather "sad". The final version cuts off before this angle is shown. But has not been leaked) The clips/video that has been leaked has now been called the the alternate version and is linked just below this post. Other things that were supposedly cut are have not been confirmed so we can only speculate. The reasons that the scenes were allegedly cut was because of how much drug use was in it and Interscope didn't like it. The Shades of cool death scene was also cut but was included in the Directors cut. Pretty when you cry also had a homemade music video but was not released. A 15 second snippet is still however on Lana's Instagram. 
 
ALSO A performance at the letterman show (She cancelled it) 
 
Theres probably so much more we don't know. Thoughts?
 
Thanks @@luckyonewithoutyou, @@Trash Magic, @, @@GangstaBoy, @@Amadeus, @@Creyk, and @@Electric Body for all the help

Honeymoon will never be crappy.

her walking with that kimono type of night gown jacket is giving me so much life right now!!!

okay it'd be nice to have the full video but I actually like that she's giving reasons why she made certain career choices which've been pissing her fans off for ages now.. it's not as good as having the video but at least we (sorta) have closure?? Idk

"Never put it out because nothing really happened in it"
 
I don't think she ever watched the released UV video if she's saying this about the gorgeous HM video

THIS BITCH IS TEASING THE HM VIDEO AGAIN

She´s been that way since her honeymoon account and it didn´t help her sales   . I always saw it as an attempt to have a more personal relationship to her fans. (remember the Honeymoon hotline?   ) She´s always been really nice to everyone and spends a lot of time with the crowd on concerts, but other than that there´s no real fan contact. Her posts may be awkward, but thats how she is   . She seems so happy right now so maybe shes in a good mood to share more of herself

In an album of 65 minutes, how can a 3 minute song be filler? I mean it's just Lana singing an extra classic song, and even if her version strikes you as bad, how can an artist experimenting/re-examining repertoire be a bad thing? You also have to come to grips with the idea that it may not be filler for her, because only that song and honeymoon song have complete lyrics in the physical liner notes. I suppose a condition of her covering the song might have been that she print the lyrics, in which case she could have printed the HM song lyrics to be symmetrical, which seems like a weak reason. I for one like the song's presence, because a) it's a great song, b) it kind of gives her carte blanche to sing anything she likes in the future (i.e., it could be construed as a manifesto song) c) her emotional reading of it (imo) is with fatalism, like she will be misunderstood no matter what she does.

@@PARADIXO- actually, there is no song I dislike, especially no song I hate.
Which is the most amazing thing about Lana.  Artists I have constantly listened to historically had clunkers (Elton John used to have three or four "filler" songs on his most popular albums, the Beatles had some shitty songs, Pet Shop Boys, Kate Bush had many songs I simply could not listen to more than once. But honestly, cannot say there is any song like that on any of Lana's stuff.
No filler. No shit. 
 
Just going from all her "Lana Del Rey" product-
Didn't think she would do better than BTD then Paradise upped it (and I consider Paradise a stand-alone LP not
Didn't think it was possible to up Paradise and then Ultraviolence came along
Once upon a Time, unbelievable
Didn't think in no way Ultraviolence would hit me like it did but it floored me
and no way in hell could she make  it even  more with Honeymoon but she continued besting herself again and again and again
 
some of the songs took a little longer to get on Honeymoon (24 Hours,but once I got it, and put it in the meaning, it turns out to be one of the most
important songs ("If you lie down with dogs you'll get fleas". Her vocals on that blow me away.
But same on all the songs.
 
Indirectly was having a conversation with someone today who had in the background a mix of Simon and Garfunkel songs and he (who is not familiar with Lana)
said no one makes harmonies anymore like S&G did.
I said he was wrong...I said there is one-
Lana has from day one had that harmony and the best thing is- it is all her, all her own vocals layered, as if she was S&G, the Beach Boys, Elton John (whose
songs in the 1970s all had great harmony by his own band (Davey Johnston, Dee Murray, Nigel Olssen and guest studio singers).
 
Lana's vocals in general, on the entire Honeymoon album, the bridges, etc. are Roy Orbison like opera like.
(someone else a few pages back said WRONGLY, her voice was small...no it is opera like but she sometimes is singing softly (as if she is singing to herself only, and those listening are just eavesdropping on her private moments
 
that's my opinion on it.
Sorry for not seeing your response sooner.
 
and btw, her original Summertime Sadness song, first thing I thought when I heard that was
Nancy Sinatra's Sugar Town (Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh Sugar Town). Summertime Sadness is a fuller, better song.

I listened to Cry Baby a while ago and kind of appreciated it but not really, except for Mad Hatter that I immediately adored, and I already liked Sippy Cup Carousel and a bit Cry Baby so I wanted to give it another shot and r a w m e I'm SLAIN to my GRAVE. This album is EXCELLENT I have no idea why I didn't got into it at first, perhaps because I'm really not into these whole aesthetics and thematics (although I have a deep respect for how thorough the whole story is, it's just too dark for me I think) but who cares when the music is this good. The beginning of the amazing Pity Party reminds me of Marina's Lonely Hearts Club in the sense that it could have been one of the best pop songs ever but it falls flat after a few seconds. Jesus these first 15s tho, skinning me. So my favs for now are Mad Hatter, Tag You're It, Play Date, Carousel, Sippy Cup, and Cake, and from Melanie I also dig her cover of Britney's Toxic. Training Wheels, Soap and Cry Baby also are really nice. I'm still getting into the other songs but I think I'm about to buy it which is exceptional for me I only buy what I already absolutely love. I'm excited to hear the rest of her discography

shady meme
 = fight me 
 
edit: 
everytime I watched the video of Lana conforting that crying fan on Paris on 2012 I only thought about how funny everything is, so I made a gif out of it 
 
 = Oh poor you hunny boo   lmao let pose for that pic I'm flawless as fuck   perfect to shade your fellow LB members  

Since I don't want to look like the grinch, here's another one. Because everyone needs the Lana version of the drinking tea meme
Maybe if you guys cut the guy out and let the gif just be Lana drinking coffe it could be cooler
 

 
also,
 

her whole body language was like "I cant say it but y'all know I dislike her, right?" 

Am I the only one who thought it was shady that she said "Good time to hallucinate? I don't know." when FJM talked about dropping acid at that Taylor concert?
