Lorde stans are saying the way Lana sings ''bar-t-t-tender'' is an homage to Lorde. Normally I would ridicule them, but it does kinda remind me of Lorde.

I can only think of “while you’re t-t-t-touching me” in every man gets his wish.

This is the first Lana album where I find that there are no extreme outliers in terms of bad quality songs. Every record of hers so far, there's at least one song that makes me cringe or want to skip. All of these songs make me want to play NFR all the way through.

At least you didn’t have to pay for ridiculous shipping and taxes!

That is beyond fucked, they completely misrepresented the item

[bartenders 1,206]

stop spoiling bartender by saying it has anything to do with l*rde...

That’s kind of what I thought when I said yesterday(?) that it looked fake to me. (But then I got scolded because it couldn’t be fake since that website is like the Dutch version of amazon or something)

[bigspender 8,368]

ok but listen, this album is so cohesive and amazing... the vocals.... the LYRICS... the production and instrumentals.... it's seriously one of her best albums, and the fact that we had heard parts of basically every song before it came out and literally like MONTHS in advance.. and that I'm still not bored of any of the songs.... that is POWER miss Del Rey you are POWERFUL

What’s the tea with the Bol.com vinyl? Is it just black? Is it the UO version? Is it Melodrama?

[Cacciatore 19,347]

Now that the album has been released can we all agree that Cinnamon Girl is a much better title than Cinnamon?

To be fair they usually are legit so this was surprising to me too

They made it seem as you’d get the OG cover with a pink vinyl but it already seemed suspicious since it was the only place you could buy it

I’d def contact them, i will do so as Well and maybe they’ll be more inclined to pay back your taxes etc

[bartenders 1,206]

and to think that only 3 days ago i was sure this is going to be her worst album because i thought most songs were going be acoustic and boring, and the lack of bridges concerned me as well...

sorry for ever doubting you queen, your best album

I would like to thank Lana for NOT releasing the album in March. It's kind of selfish but it came out at the perfect time of my life. I don't necessarily think that everything happens for a reason but considering what's happening in my life right now, there was no better time for the album to come out. There's nothing better than being able to relate to so many songs from an album at the time it comes out. So yeah again I know it's such a selfish thought but I am so glad it came on August 30. It's also funny that each of the singles (excluding Doin' Time) came out at the perfect time too for me. I guess I was extremely lucky this era. Thanks so much Lana.

 

i completely agree, 2019 has been consistent twists, dilemmas, fails and falls, but the year is also this utopian slate of constant releases by my entire last.fm top 50. and the releases just keep timing up whether i'm grateful or temporarily annoyed. i must say i don't know if i could've gotten through the first half without L+F (snapped), dedicated, TUN, and a few others. i have a lot of changes coming throughout october and this + charli is like taking a vicodin and then some ecstasy omg we

 

in this case tho, i'm pretty annoyed that i sought commitment or closure from this guy before the end of august specifically so i wasn't still ailing from the ambiguity while tying him to an NFR that i expected to be a little more happy. instead, she fleshed those opening lines into nearly an entire album about his failures and disappointment and being ultimately unwilling to change, therefore the album almost perfectly puts to paper how i feel about him right now and there's no undoing those connotations. a nightmare
