4 (FOUR) years of High By The Beach

4 (FOUR) years of High By The Beach

4 years of a bop

[MoreCruelThanYou 5,277]

Its sad but true that Doin' Time should have been edited to include extended ad lib vocals on the album, VB should have been extended to 12 minutes with the instrumentals from her festival tour, and hope should have been remastered with a full orchestra instrumental and background vocals, but instead lazy Lana decided to leave stale, year old tracks on the album the way they are. The only thing that was perfect as is was Mariners God Complex

unpopular opinion but NFR is the song that excites me the least tbh

Yeah same, also with HIAB and Love song, I’m so thirsty for California, FIILY and the greatest on the other side !

For me it's fuck it I love you. The snippet is not that impressive when you contrast it to the other tracks but hopefully the full song will be great.

have you heard the full album or something?

NFR and HIAB are my least anticipated tracks honestly

[MoreCruelThanYou 5,277]

have you heard the full album or something? 

 

no, but the tracks are up on iTunes with the pre-order of the album miss '5 posts' 

[WilshireBoulevard 5,420]

what do you ladies wanna complain about today?

 

The lack of lake placid namedrops in her songs

[Creyk 11,699]

have you heard the full album or something? 

The snippets let us know she did not do reproducing it's not that deep.

[Off To The Races 2010 demo pls 19,336]

Well, I gotta admit I'm truly hyped for the title track since the day Lana posted the first snippet

 

The strings on the chorus are so beautiful and the way she snapped with those lyrics jesus

 

Pretty sure it will slay, mark my words

[LanaCharts 1,980]

That means 10k is guaranteed for her first week of the release right? If so, having already 10k copies sold just because of another version of the vinyl points to the fact that she may be really getting that billboard number 1 huh?

 

Or I'm just delusional and don't know how to estimate numbers and she's getting another number 2 lol

It’ll be difficult to debut at #1 but it’s not impossible and tbh I think this album will sell more copies than LFL and Honeymoon. Having consistent album sales is more important than a #1

Only 5k were sold online. The other half were for stores. At least that’s what I read.

Well... even 5k sales is a lot

[MoreCruelThanYou 5,277]

California, The Greatest, & Love Song are the Holy Trinity. Bartender is untouchable. Cinnamon Girl, HTD, and TNBAR are a slay. The four singles she already released are past their prime, its true, but MAC & VB are still looking very nice in the rearview mirror. FIILY, HIAB, & title track are cute. There are no bad songs. Say it with me ladies, NO BAD SONGS

 

edit: oop i forgot about hope

I still think MAC & VB are two of her best, but otherwise, you have spilled nothing but facts. Hope is automatically my least favorite 

[ultrabanisters 45,046]

well in the uk according to officialcharts

 

"you have had to sell around 60,000-plus copies to become the official number 1 album and sell 4,000 to 4,500 reach number 40"

 

i'm not sure if billboard is the same

[CruelWorld 683]

Is a new snippet of FIILY really out there or someone's trolling?

[MoreCruelThanYou 5,277]

Mac & Vb are still very sweet but lets get real. You don't release songs and then put them on your album a year later and expect them to still be fresh. hope is cute and nothing more

Not many of Lana's songs get stale for me. Maybe because I don't overplay her, but the only music that she's released that isn't fresh to me anymore is Paradise lol

same. big same.

Love Song, Happiness is a Butterfly, and The Next Best American Record are my trinity

[Creyk 11,699]

I think California, Happiness is a Butterfly and Cinnamon will be my trinity. Love Song is a strong fourth.

But I am sure there will be surprises once we hear the songs in full.
