yall act like minimalist production is the end of the world jfc

"Peak production" when HM is her most minimalist album to date (With NFR coming for the throne) gurl

 

Yes but Nowels does minimalism well while Jack barely plays piano keys.

 

Thank you @UltraviolentJack

I like Honeymoon but most of the tracks sound overly monotonous so I wouldn't want LDR7 to be a 2.0 of that tbh. I would like something very fresh.

[godsmonster 14,266]

you guys act like the Honeymoon production and instrumentals aren't the most beautiful, cinematic production from a modern pop music artist

There's a difference between minimalist and laziness. Honeymoon was produced beautifully.

Right?

 

And have they even listened to VB or MAC? And Jack’s production often starts in a minimimaist fashion and then explodes into psychedeliaz

First off. Theres an @ button. 2nd, I never said it wasn't beautiful. But IMO, to call it "peak production" is a reach considering there wasnt much production going on in the first place. Honeymoon IS beautiful, and it's the minor details put into each track that make it so amazing. BUT, I simply cannot agree that it's her best produced album when Ultraviolence, and every thing before, exists. The way Black Beauty starts off so intimate, up close and personal..then explodes into a grand wall of sound....that alone tops anything honeymoon's instrumentals has to offer. I respect your opinion, but dont try and shade. Jeez.

What the fuck are you guys complaining about again? Honeymoon's production is absolutely amazing. Period. Those who say that it's not much, it's boring or whatever other tasteless remark, listen closely!!!! There are soo many layers throughout Honeymoon that it's crazy: Honeymoon the song alone is one of the best production in her career. All the strings in the back, her vocals with the echo harmonizing almost with all of it, the subtle drums, the trap beats which work surprisingly well (and what makes HM so unique), all the  different instruments like the flutes, saxophones and castanets, even the production on Burnt Norton is so hypnotic and entrancing, the heavy bass on Freak, the random electric guitars here and there throughout the record. It's so many fucking things that make Honeymoon an excellent masterpiece.  If you think it's boring you just straight up don't know how to listen to it properly or you're just not patient and open minded enough to see every elements of it. Even on HBTB with those overlapping vocals at the end, I swear I can't with some of y'all

 

Btw, since people dragged me when I said y'all are lacking taste for not liking VB and that I should actually post long-winded answers about why one should like it instead of making ''tired jokes'' (even though 1 day later y'all just when back to saying the same ''tasteless'' jokes too  so fuck off), this whole argument works for VB too, for all those who say it's UnNeCeSsArY and BoRinG, shut the fuck up if you don't know how to appreciate it. It's not just peronal preference or opinion or whatever, if you say THAT kind of production and that kind of song is boring or whatever that it's just lack of taste/common sense in music.

How to Disappear’s new production gives me Amy vibes for some reason

What if UV had been the track list we know plus Black Beauty and Flipside as closing tracks? Chills.

 

Although, I do like TOW as a closer.

[UltraviolentJack 2,835]

MAC really isn't anything special, any HM track tops it, and as for VB its cute but I never listen to the full thing

Anyone who can't state their opinion without bashing someone else, and again not having the balls to address them directly is a joke. Get off your fucking high horse and realize your opinion isnt state law. Ctfu

Sorry I was too lazy to quote every single person who said that. my bad. Also, the only thing I said that would imply me bashing somebody else was the word tasteless, which is already kind of a joke, we all have taste here obviously. 

[Cacciatore 19,347]

It's been a long time since I last listened to MAC and VB, and I think I will only listen to them again when the album drops.

[American Whore 51,710]

I know it’d be a little weird lyrically for Lana to cover this but I’d really love to hear her cover Coney Island Baby on this record. The instrumental is beautiful

[American Bottom 16,229]

You know what..nvm let's end it

[loleetah 4,084]

rih did this from rated r till TTT and it resulted in having unfinished songs on the album and was so messy in the long run

 

Ari's TUN album is questionable already and it should have just been a standalone single 

 

 

 

anyway as if this isn't what lana's been doing since like late uv, early hm tho do u really think she's serving us "eras", "promo cycles" or something like that ? 

they literally just book sum festivals every other summer and thats it

 

TUN is questionable? sis. The album went #1 and all the tracks are on BB10. The album is cohesive and great. It stands to show the fact that you don't need to wait a whole 2 years to make and release albums, if you have the time to execute it without rushing. 

Yes she has been serving eras and promo cycles, even if they don't seem like it. releasing a single, then a music video, then another single, then the title/cover/tracklist, then another single before the release of the album including photoshoots and other press is the definition of a promo cycle. and we've been getting that in some form for every album besides NFR.     

 

It seems now that Lana isn't into that anymore and just wants to release music how she pleases, so I could see her disregarding typical promotion aspects and just doing whatever she wants. I think it'd suit her anyhow
