Absolutely no shade intended but if this is said in earnest it's one of the funniest and most specific interpretations of a lana lyric

it's actually about that time that barrie tried the cinnamon challenge

You need either a new stylus or to rebalance the arm, or if you have a shitty record player, you need to throw it out the window and buy a decent one. UV deluxe is a very high quality vinyl that won’t play properly on shitty record players. When I got mine, I thought it was defective and bought another and it was even worse. What a waste of money. When I finally got a decent record player though, no skips at all. I’ve read similar stories from other people about the UV deluxe vinyl too. The standard edition should play fine though on any player though and that’s cheaper to buy than a new record player.

hold up? Are you talking about the standard double vinyl, or just the big boxset with Ultraviolence written in black? Because that double coloured vinyl sounds cheap AF

Legend says that's why she broke up with him. He was doing the challenge so often that he permanently stank of it.

It is said in earnest. It makes perfect sense. Have you tried it?

[Cacciatore 19,346]

the fact that people are ranking tnbar so down low & hope is a pig so high up is beyond me. tastelessness at its peak.

Starbucks?

But there are some here who (probably unintentionally) take everything personally if it agrees or doesn’t agree with their own opinions. If it agrees, they feel validated, if it doesn’t, they feel s**t upon or attacked.

 

If I say, ‘I think ‘Bartender’ is great” and they don’t, they’re bothered. They attack, they attempt to bully me and others.

 

I wish they would understand that we’re just expressing individual opinions of our own and whether our opinions mesh or don’t mesh with those of others is a secondary consideration at best. The purpose of this site, to the best of my knowledge, is not to build consensus but to share thoughts, responses and ideas.

I understand that, but people expressing opinions aren't who I'm talking about with my original post. Yes, forums are to share thoughts and ideas, but people take it too far by saying things along the lines of "what's wrong with you! You're a fake fan for listening to leaks! I'm so much better for waiting!" Those people are who I was talking about. If you're not that person, then it doesn't apply to you.

Starbucks?

I live in NYC and work in Manhattan. That’s where great many people buy their coffee morning and afternoon, as they’re all over the city.

I’m not. I didn’t take it as if it did. Some people like to take what they see as the moral high ground, often because they have an obsessive, cultish attitude towards LDR and imagine they know how she feels about things—and also project their own emotions onto her. I am sure you know that too. I listened to the leaks and preordered the album afterwards. I think it’s just so-so, but I still support her and will pay for a copy.

Oh yeah I do that too (esp when it's a hazelnut latte because yum), I'm not saying it couldn't be right, just the specificality of it made me giggle

 

 

 

On an unrelated note as much as I think Jack can make things sound broadly pretty there's definitely been a drop in production since HM in my opinion. BTD, P, UV, and HM feel like aluminium-glass backed phones whereas a lot of LFL and NFR are plastic-backed. There are a couple of exceptions (like hope because it's just a piano) but coachella was when it became the most obvious to my ears, and as much as I love and miss MAC the heavy weight of production quality just isn't there for me anymore

I’m not sure who you’re meaning exactly but I’m waiting for multiple reasons. I posted why and what it’s about to me about 100 pages ago. I just think if you’re like me and give a damn about how the music sounds and was intended to sound, you should wait. If you don’t have your fun but you’re just going to come back in this thread wanting to talk about it when it has nothing to do with the pre-release part of an era. And then what, be angry when you’re spoiling people and they get mad at you for doing so? I’ve seen bunches of posts without spoiler tags bc these little fuckers keep on and on and have absolutely no consideration for other fans...

 

We know you all have opinions about the album!!! But can you save your opinions for AFTER the post release thread is made so we can ALL discuss together!!? I don’t see why that’s not a good idea... it’s annoying seeing conversations going on about an album that’s been exploited over selfishness. It’s just plain rude.

I totally understand where you're coming from, and I promise that I'm not talking about you. Just don't think I need to make it a personal situation here. I was merely making a blanket statement. You're totally fine

[poetic jess 2,323]

ALRIGHT I SEE A LOT OF DOIN' TIME SHADE THROWN IN THIS THREAD SO I NEED TO KNOW WHO ACTUALLY LIKES/REALLY LIKES DOIN' TIME?

 

u can like this post if you like doin' time and ignore if u don't. if you have an elaboration, then explain.

I love it- probably my favorite cover because of the production and her vocals.

I hear you. I apologize if I came off like a dick but I just want people to understand, it’s not just about Lana’s feelings or her money really it’s much more broad than that at least for me

[Psychedelic Pussy 29,077]

The album leaked in the pre-release (obvs) so I would argue it has a lot to do w the pre release thread,,

anyway this is turning into such a shit show fr if you’re going to whine every time someone says “omg this song/lyric/melody/beat/whatever is so good” and call ppl fuckers, selfish, rude, etc then I think it’s time to log off til August 30th sis, or just simply not read the pre-release thread?

This is a fucking Lana Del Rey forum why is there alwaaaaaaya drama fr.... so unnecessary

I understand. I may have a different point of view, but I respect your feelings about the situation, and i'll work on putting more leak discussion in spoiler tags.
