Bartender is just so good

How to disappear is very good, love the new production

[Psychedelic Pussy 29,278]

Doin Time MV officially has 2mil + views in less than 24 hours... can this pls go fucking viral? Literally dethroned Shades of Cool as her best music video, I think I've watched it like 30 times.   so fucking good. Lana is truly in her prime right now

She shouldn't have released hope as a promo track. She ruined the surprise of the closing track. I bet we would have appreciated it much more in the context of the album for the very first time.

 

I hope she doesn't spoil us that hard with White Hot Forever.

For me, the album release has fallen a little flat; we'd heard literally half the songs before release, and MAC and VB were a year ago already!

i’m not going to judge the album as a whole yet because i‘ve only listened to it once. on that matter i just wanna say that this is a really distinct album of hers once again

 

concerning TNBAR, i have to say i like the changes. the chorus always felt unfinished to me. i just wish she would have saved the „you/we did it all for fame“ for the last verse or something cause it‘s just really iconic and would have been powerful. also sad about the „i told you“ and „honey how‘s it feeling?“ part missing but it wouldn‘t have made sense with the new lyrics. still a bit odd to hear those amazing echo and reverb effects plus the breaking glass cause i associate these things more with LFL, but they are a good stylistic break for the record imo. also did she keep the echo effect of the pre-chorus repeating the word „fame“ even though she changed the lyrics to „good“ lol? i’m glad she didn’t change the third verse in its essence. all in all she did the right thing by deciding to put this song out for everyone to hear

 

i really love the track california even though that was the one i was least excited about. the production of how to disappear doesn‘t really speak to me but maybe it will grow on me.

 

my last question is: does anyone else think parts of the production don‘t feel as plastic (as in three-dimensional) as her previous work, especially in the first half? it definitely gets better starting with california, but some productions just sound kinda flat to me in a spatial sense idk??

 

all in all, i‘m excited to listen to this again and again and i‘m proud of her for putting this record out!

WITH MY BAR-T-TENDER! BART-T-ENDER! HA HA HA!       

[Idol Of Roses 673]

I'm loving the album! But it sort of feels like there are no bridges in the songs? A lot of them are just two verses and two choruses. Still amazing though.

[fathercreep 425]

I hated htd and happiness tho. Htd feels too cheap and happiness is really under lana standerts. I heard a thing now I'm hearing another like witf

 

did u heard about less is more?

 

Do you want me or do you not?

I heard one thing, now I'm hearing another

 

what's wrong with the lyrics?

[Rorman Nockwell 54,463]

Oh yeah idk if this has been mentioned but sis has a listening party tomorrow, too. Or today. Idk what fucking time it is in America so whatever.
