It IS a commercial failure. When Halsey is outselling her, when Melanie Martinez will outsell her in the US very soon and Lorde releases y'all will see what I am talking about.
 
Others are catching up while she falls back. She lost round 90% of her audience. That is the biggest drop of any female singer since she has debuted. If that is not alarming, then I don't know what else is. I mean, this is not just the sales climate. And nobody is expecting her to do BTD numbers, but with Honeymoon she hasn't even served the quality of UV. It is just a boring record that drags on forever with no focus or drive.
With her next album she can compete with Marina and her numbers. It's a shame and a waste of her potential.

This shit is funny as hell          

This shit is funny as hell          

This morning I choked of laughter, giggling over this Lorde post and the Lana reference being one of the most liked comments below the picture 
 

 

1,5 years is not a long break. She should have palatable material. With Honeymoon she didn't have it.

She should just move on honestly. Maybe a tour, but even if she doesn't go on tour, it doesn't matter.
 
What she needs is a rest, living her life and get some new inspiration, pick up the pace and come back with a strong single that can be played on the radio.
 
So 2017 seems more reasonable.

i think you are reaching for the moon & the stars here, tbh. you really think that lana would make an entire album parodying stereotypes about herself? remember how critics thought that brooklyn baby was doing that & she was being serious?   (MPG is a different story buuut it's not on honeymoon either.)
 
it may be nice to think that the cliches/repetitiveness/slowness were done for some grand reason, but what sense would that make? nah, it's just what it is on the surface.
 
there are definitely critiques about fame, though. 

I'm starting to believe that I've figured out Honeymoon, somewhat. I think (and I might wince at this theory later) that Honeymoon is Lana's critique of fame/the industry, and some of it is her making fun of herself/the stereotypes that surround her. I mean, maybe this is nothing new, but I'd like to put my two cents in.
I'll put my Lanalysis™ in the spoiler (warning, this is NOT polished, and is very speculative, very messy, but I need to get these thoughts out):
 
 
Anyway.... that was a hot mess, but I'd like to hear your thoughts. I'm going to refine this a lot more soon, hopefully, and I hope it isn't just a rehash of what someone else has come up with.
 
Go easy on me and don't let me be misunderstood, fam

hold it open as a vigil in loving memory of what we have lost 
 
videos realized and videos unrealized
are perhaps both present in videos future
and videos future contained in videos unrealized
if all youtube links are eternally present 
all videos are on private
what might have been is a rumor 
remaining a perpetual possibility
only in a world of lananalyis 
what might have been and what has been
point to lana, which is always present
cola echoes in the memory
down the passage lana did not take
towards the door she never opened
into video production
 
help 

I still can't hear the banjo in Swan Song

not surprised tho the lana fanbase seems to be full of rly fucking weird ass abnormal fans  
 
there's even a bunch of people on this forum that just present themselves as rly OTT 

- 
 
can't americans legally shoot people who break into their property tho?
 
guess thats something on her side as a plan b 

security at lana's shows be like

especially with her just going straight into the frenzied hordes of crazed stans

i wonder if they're the russian spammers we get periodically

I don't get people who humiliate themselves in front of of their idols like this. The last thing I would want Lana to think of me is that I'm a creepy, crazy bitch.

Well, that's what happens when you don't release Life is Beautiful. 
 

Maybe Lana fans need to get rid of these two girls. I mean, sometimes you just have to take the garbage out, I'm sorry.
 

this is so sad and ugly

This isn't the first time Lana's done something about it too   at the LA signing they got kicked out of line and we're told they are blacklisted. Lana is so nice to fans and people take advantage of it

I agree, i think she's gonna lose her patience at some point   I mean, i would've already lost it one or two years ago

I honestly think all this shit is stemming from how down to earth Lana is with her fans, who are taking advantage of that. I find this absolutely repulsive because her friendliness towards her fans is one of the things I admire most about Lana and for people to start taking advantage of that to literally commit crimes is fucking repulsive.
 
I'm scared that Lana's going to stop being so down to Earth about these things. It pains me to see how scared she is, she won't even tweet/instagram about any of this happening, probably because she doesn't want to bring attention to this.
 
I'm so scared for her, and none of this shit should ever happen to anyone, let alone her.

Terrible ... But I'm not too suprised. People scream at her face and start to cry like little babys when they see her, they hurt other fans in order to get a good spot during concerts and they harass people on social media if they notice they have something to do with Lana. Only a matter of time until some of them completely snap out. I hope Lana's safe and those "fans" get their sh*t together,

Well at least we'll be slayed by the next Lizzy Grant leak, yaaaas i guess

and that's your opinion? i'm allowed to have a different one. 
 
um, go listen to OTTR and tell me there's no life and energy in it. i didn't even mention BTD specifically, lol. either way, BTD isn't a perfect album but at least it isn't boring and it tells a story. and i'm not only referring to her released catalog, but also her vast amount of unreleased songs. she is capable of so many different genres and productions and atmospheres--why is she settling for music to sleep to? her older slow, sparse songs at least had interesting lyrics. 
 
also, i'm not talking about the lyrics on paper. they are just not interesting in general. more than that, they are sometimes lazy. i agree that it is a combination of all those elements that make her songs great, but that's the problem. she's missing a vital element on honeymoon. she even admitted that the album was more about vibes than lyrics and it shows. it's disappointing for me because they are a big part of why i became so interested in her music.
