my lana merch has shipped FINALLY

[cherryblossoms 10,420]

Thinking about the seagulls at the end of Get Free being the first taste we ever got of BIRD WORLD

That’s actually a good point! Maybe Bird World was meant to serve as the intro for NFR that started from where Get Free got off.

Merch from the Surf shop?

[Macintosh Manhattan 6,511]

I kinda feel bad now that I ripped into Lana about her um, questionable poetry as It seems to have helped her massively when it came to her songwriting on NFR.

Let’s take a moment and thank @@electra for making this possible!

I miss how depressing her songs used to be. I really loved her old persona. I get such a different vibe from BTD, UV and HM. Not just musically but the songs really take me into another world. And im not saying i want her to be depressed again, i just miss having music from her that i relate to. I think something changed 2017 onwards. Like its cool that shes grown but... i haven't lol. LFL and NFR dont really take me anywhere, i dont get lost in them. LFL is fake woke and too current, and NFR is too light and, i wanna say common

imagine being tasteless

But you hate the only song that feels like old Lana aka Godtender

100%.  I want to be supporting her as much as I can, because her earlier records mean so much to me, but I can barely get through one song on her new album before I'm ready to listen to something else.  Very few of the lyrics or melodies stick with me.  I can't even remember how California or Love Song sound like even though I've listened to them at least 7 or 8 times now.

the lyrics are lana but the song is executed horribly, its nothing like her own music at all, i hate it

I mean i actually love this album a lot, Love Song and California and Cinnamon are my ultimate favourites, but like i've said before i've had nearly all of these melodies stuck in my head for a year so this record just... was a little underwhelming in that sense. And i feel like i've moved on already. The overall sound of NFR isn't really my cup of tea, its too folky and mature and bleh, lets just hope the next project is more grand and daring (im not hating on this album btw guys)

Would you guys recommend me a good (and most importantly cheap) vinyl record player or whatever it’s called. I really want to get the NFR UO edition vinyl before it’s gone. I kinda like the pink font and the cover feels special in some ways

Don't get a suitcase all-in-one record player, they'll destroy the record. Look at some of sony's record players- the cheapest ones are more expensive than $40 suitcase ones (like $110?), but they have a dust cover, won't ruin your record, and with a speaker you can also get from sony for like $30, you have a good-quality set-up that'll last you for some time and, because it needs repeating, won't ruin your record. It's better to save up for a while than ruin them, esp when they cost like $30 per vinyl and some are limited like the UO one lol

 

i'm aware this soiunds like a sony ad but it's what I'm planning on getting

[WaitForLife 5,239]

Today a radio station in Germany talked about the album and played snippets of The Greatest and California and then they choose to play How To Disappear.

I can relate to all that as well.

BTD especially means a lot to me.

Although Cinammon Girl has that BTD feel that I love..
