[honeycookie]

some people like chocolate and some don’t. at the end of the day it’s not anything to argue about.

 

some of y’all act as though someone insulted your grandma. it was never that serious!

omg. This is so pointless. Everyone repeating the same stuff over and over again every few days..infinity loop..

 

CAN WE ALL JUST STOP AND BREATHE.

LET PEOPLE ENJOY THE NEW ALBUM.

EACH ALBUM IS SONICALLY DIFFERENT AND HAS A DIFFERENT VIBE/SITUATION WHERE YOU APPRECIATE IT THE MOST.

 

Things are going to be changing and fast.

The world is in a different place musically as well compared to 2014. If she just did another UV/HM, you guys would be like "so unoriginal..tried to copy her old album..samples her own material..is she running out of ideas??? UV1>UV2..."

 

Treat each record as a single entity and stop comparing. It's all about the music. If you cant stop saying negative things/ruining other peoples experiences then better dont say anything all. Alot of people havent heard the leak yet ,you guys are just ruining it for them. They probably feel less enthused thanks to your highly intellectual critique abilities.

 

And I'm done

 

Thanks for this!

This is literally a hate crime.

There is no 'better' album as its mostly personal taste and tbh, all her albums are great, including both LFL and NFR

" 87. “Florida Kilos” (Ultraviolence deluxe edition bonus track, 2014)

Co-written by director Harmony Korine for his unproduced film The Trap, “Florida Kilos” -- the least subtle Lana Del Rey song of all time -- romanticizes the drug trade in Florida. Though the song never uses the word “cocaine,” it crams in seemingly every other term for it. With a jauntier guitar-pop feel than the rest of the album, “Florida Kilos” plays like the soundtrack to a group of line-dancing cokeheads with nothing but themselves on their minds.  "

billboard ?? what?

[domandapiano]

It’s a pretty good top 10, particularly for ppl who aren’t mega fans. Brooklyn Baby being above everything else in the top 10 is questionable but at least Shades and West Coast and Venice Bitch are there.

 

And I’m gobsmacked that Florida Kilos was written in part by Harmony Korine. It makes so much sense.

it has more person alley tea

[YourPoetryIsBad]

Am i the only one who unconsciously hears ''Hey man!''/''Alright'' from Born to Die at the end of Cinnamon?  It sounds eerily similar, did she sample it or something? 

[WildMustang]

I don't see the greatest there

Where is it

Is it hiding behind love?

First review is a 4/5. They are very tough scorers, so that’s really great!
