Maybe the UO cover was the original one?  does someone know something about that? (sorry if it's been asked or cleared up before  )

I think it's okay to express our opinions on environments like this forum or fan groups, but when you take your "opinions" and posts then on Chuck's ig or in places you know she could read it I think it's just mean and unnecessary. "Constructive criticism" only exists when the person actually asks for your opinion, let's not forget that. 

 

The comments on Chuck's Insta are HORRIBLE !! I could never I'm not crazy at all about that particular cover (even though I know Lana love's it and Chuck shot it), but I would never say the things that some people said in the comments to Chuck. That shit is just extremely rude and uncalled for. I'll give my opinion of it here for sure, but not in a public forum such as Chuck's personal Insta account. Seriously some people are so uncouth

They removed that line with new lyrics from BAR from the Apple Music description of the album. Maybe they were wrong?

The consensus is yes that was the original one that Ben didn't like. Lana still got to use it as the UO limited edition cover

i just think its fucked up that lana chose to have some rando on the cover and not win edwards

God knows he's earned it! lmao

Her Apple Music artist page is updated with that cute photo (which is honestly my new favorite picture of her) and I’m :’)

I don't know if y'all already commented about this, but anyway: what was the whole point to re-use the video originally recorded to Best American Record on White Mustang if the song would be included on the next record, NFR? Srsly I can't understand her

Maybe the video was released before NFR was written so she didn't know BAR would fit in the next record

yeah, but I bet she always had bigger expectations for the song. why to waste the video idea like this ughh

[UltraviolenceBaby 5,014]

guys did we have something new after the UO vinyl?

[fl0ridakil0s 3,959]

same thing with the HIAB - Venice and MAC videos

I don't get this "recording a video for a song and then using it for another songs" concept

She still needed a video for a single and was lazy to do another one so she used it

[Cloudbusting 5,383]

Ikr? Although it's a hard position, if I had that kind of footage for a music video for a song that I'm not gonna release, I wouldn't let it go to waste either (maybe she wasn't planning on releasing it since it leaked)

 

I'm just happy one of my favorite songs by her is gonna get released  (reworked or not)

Maybe, but they were pretty different.

 

"We were so obsessed with writing the next best American record / Cause we were just that good / It was just that good"

 

The perspective shift and no repetition makes me think it wasn't a mistake though.
