transfemmefatale 246 Posted August 28, 2019 And regarding her “recycling” of certain Lana-isms (party dress, referencing the color blue, etc) I feel like part of her charm is seeing how these staples in the existence of Lana Del Rey change context as she grows as a person. The party dress of Cruel World is definitely not the same party dress that’s in Love Song and I think that means something. Yeah I don't really identify with the recycling/repeating critiques I see. I feel like these are all just part of her aesthetic as an artist, almost like the way movie directors or authors have recurring motifs in their work as well, for me it doesn't cheapen the work, it just speaks to the artist's sensibilities. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

13bitches 6,175 Posted August 28, 2019 Anyway I just wanted to say that NFR rivals LFL for worst title track and that’s the tee 2 If by not 'up to par' you mean distilling the worst elements that only kind of work in songs, sure. I could put a dictionary audiobook on shuffle and put it to an instrumental of old money and some of y'all would still be saying it's 50/50 lmfao. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sirensXsilence 462 Posted August 28, 2019 I found HtD's production kind of hideous, at least until the guitar comes in towards the end, but I think at least half of that is because of how loud it is versus how quiet her voice is. Haven't listened to the album yet and you all seem so divided on which version of FIILY is better. Which one fits better with the rest of the album? I don't know what to do, I want my first listen to be magical. I think if you want to have a magical first listen, then you're going to want to have the most "pure" experience by listening to the version that is in the official release of the full album. Even if you listen to the single version ahead of time, you'll want to keep the album version in there for your first listen through. But imo, both are good. The single version is perhaps more of a bop. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
transfemmefatale 246 Posted August 28, 2019 With any Lana album the question should never simply be, Is it Good? But instead: Do you feel held by her? And to that I would say yes, yes I do feel held by her. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chicken Parmesan 316 Posted August 28, 2019 i understand either way. personally i want to respect lanas wishes because this is her art, and i want to be a part of the collective experience of lana sharing an album with us that we havent (ideally) heard yet. im probably going to play through the album repeatedly until i hate it once i hear it. might as well help her stream count rather than doing it on my computer. i just think it adds to the hype for me as well, since ill be listening thursday night with my friends, and i have enough self control to wait. so no hate HOWEVER some of you need to learn how to use that mf spoiler tab 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
