[Pink Flamingo 17,137]

I love this album so much

[Pink Flamingo 17,137]

"Goddamn man-child, you fucked me so good that I almost said I love you" 

 

No one will ever be able to create a best opening line for an album

[Eugene 26,662]

this album is still in my top 3. It's amazing, like the first day I heard it.

Thanks. "Bird World" makes absolutely zero sense.

Burnt World would make so much sense with burning California imagery

 

However I think they are saying Bird World, they repeat it several times.

All her recent albums don't convince me.

We slowly get closer and closer to NFR season approaching us - I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER

[Crimson and Clover 22,485]

NFR and its era is just so warm and inviting for me  it’s riddled with SO much nostalgia..I remember it came out when I was in college and spent late nights studying and listening to it   It was a comfort album, especially it if I got too high…Venice Bitch and Love song would held me in their arms like a loving mother holds a child   I appreciate this album so much  I think the fact that it’s the last Lana album we got before COVID makes it really sentimental for me as well

I so agree with you it gives me a huge sense of comfort, although the timing of it being right before covid is spoopy, considering how the album has a subtle apocalyptic vibe to it too. - “Nothing gold can stay”,the entirety of the greatest, the bartender video, etc 

I feel like the sound of the album captures the last bit of good times most of us had before the world completely changed

Why the thousands of girls love the way Bill plays guitar 

[barttttender 4,840]

This era was such a serve.

 

1. A glorious album and undoubtedly her best

2. Career-best reviews

3. Year-end best-of lists

4. A certified bop that played on the radio (Doin' Time) with a cinematic MV that sits in her top 10.

5. Gorgeous ballads that put her back on the ballad map after Lust for Life's and Honeymoon's weak attempts, with Mariner's 

6. A career defining song in Venice Bitch and Best New Track from Pitchfork

7. Another bop with Don't Call Me angel and a video that reached the cinematic quality of Shades of Cool and Born to Die - for the first time in years

8. A knockout look in Don't Call Me Angel that the internet went crazy for

9. A brilliant tour that I had the chance to see live where she absolutely slayed

10. A number of other and home-made videos that kept us engaged

11. And even a Lookin'  for America single - a rare example of Lana being political that actually worked in her favor

12. A number of appearances on radio, the children's hospital and elsewhere to promote the album and keep the conversation going

13. A grammy nod and a major award win

 

All in all, her best and most generous era since Born to Die.

 

I can only hope her next era is like that.
