I liked Marina because she was different not because she sounded like the other pop girls. If she starts watering stuff down and coming out with ‘Modern pop” she’s gonna lose half her fans. Let’s face it the warning signs have been there, the name change the basic album name.

superstar is basic? yes
basic = bad? no
superstar is bad? no
she can do better? yes

Exactly! I can appreciate a cute love song, but it's just so strange to hear Superstar sang by the same girl who's given us so many incredible lyrics over the span of her career. It just seems like a filler track to me. I love HH and I still bop to Baby, but Superstar just ain't it. If it were the first song I ever heard by Marina, I'd be like, "this is the girl you guys all hype up?"
 
Anyway, as not to totally rag on her, her vocals still sound amazing. She could sing the dictionary and make it sound angelic.

I don’t see this as progression honestly where are you getting that lol?!. Don’t think anyone said they wanted a suicidal 1950’s doll either. Can anyone have an opinion on this forum without getting attacked or told they don’t have any clue about music? Lots of people feel the same here boo.

We love a hypocrite who complains about complain!

I get that all the time here, it’s like people take everything so personal. Like why does a stranger on the internet and there opinion bother you so much? Does it affect your enjoyment of the song or Lana? No.

It's become very apparent I'd say that this site has gained what I'd like to call "sweet sally no sees" who pretend that they don't see the good and only see the bad, then complain "wow you guys are always so harsh on Lana you never give her a chance and you truly aren't fans" and it's starting to get VERY old & annoying.
 
I don't really understand the logic of pretending to be a positive person yet being so fixated on everyone's negative opinions and failing to acknowledge everything positive being said? Like it literally contradicts what you stand for which is interesting.
 
As for Lana's work, I've praised LOTS of her new stuff. I fucking adore Cinnamon, How To Disappear is one of my favorite songs from her sonically and lyrically since AKA, Venice Bitch is a really great and cute playful song and the guitar is great, Mariners Apartment Complex is one of my faves and the instrumental breakdown is a dream.
 
Yet these sweet sally no sees pretend things like that aren't being said. I don't understand most of the logic here being used. I praise 4 songs, and say "Hmm well HIADT isn't really for me" or "these last two poems aren't really doing anything for me and here's why" and then all these little Lana ass lickers like to forget everything positive that has been said and it's truly sad and telling that some of you are here only to start fights and act like everything Lana does is godly.
 
That's not how life works kids, you can't like everything an artist does. These people aren't Gods and the way some of you hold her up to be that is actually really disturbing?
 
So instead of being a hypocrite, because that's what you're doing when you ignore the 10 positive posts and only choose to see the one negative post and say "wow this board is so negative", maybe just walk away and like not be so fixated on trying to make everyone feel bad for the way they feel?
 
You cannot preach that we're negative for our true opinions when you guys are trying to find the negative in every post on this site. It just doesn't make sense and I truly hope some of you work on seeing the positive in what people here say.
 
You guys act like everyone wants Lana burned at the stake for destroying the English language, when that's not even close. We're just not going to brown nose her and pretend we like everything. There's a difference between being a fan/stan, and being an intense follower who kisses her feet at every opportunity you can get. I'm glad you like her, but stop putting artists to God levels, it's really, really not healthy. Thank you

I’m not a fan of her poetry it sounds like a 13 year old girl wrote it. If the poetry book is like this I will save my coins. Her songs are poetry enouth.

I wouldn't mind if Lana went on a hiatus after NFR. I think it's important she takes time off to live her life then come back with something solid and meaningful to write about. What we have from her right now ain't it, and that's because she has two years max to live her life and then write about it in time for the next release. With BTD, up until the age of 27 she had all these years of experiences which she could write about, and I think that's why BTD is lyrically stellar in comparison to later work.

wtf is superstar lol an insult to my ears girl bye

Such a sad way to degress from the lyricism of The Family Jewels to this watered down, already-aged mainstream bs.
If you have to make up for your lacking lyrics by giving tryhard-woke interviews in order to promote your album, you know you went the wrong way.
