The comments on her post are pissing me off. Someone whose latest post on their page is them in a folklore cardigan complaining that there’s no lyrics and that the album is trash. Obviously this album isn’t for everyone, but you don’t get to discover Ethel after seeing American Teenager on TikTok and then dictate the music Hayden releases  The entitlement is so crazy. And rude.

 

I love this project. It won’t be a constant listen for me as it’s very heavy, but it’s beautiful and thickens the Ethel Cain atmosphere. I feel like this music is more in line with the visuals of ‘Ethel Cain’, maybe even more so than Preacher’s Daughter that I feel in retrospect lacked a bit of ‘roughness’ in some of the tracks. (Although I listen to that album daily). Amber Waves, Punish, Perverts are all spectacular and when I listened in the dark last night I was terrified.

 

If you are shocked that this is the music of the album I don’t know what to say to you, because it was going to be this all along. I think this is such a bold move but also a necessary one for Hayden, as she is sharpening her vision and storytelling rather than diluting it as a result of her popularity. It’s not commercial, but at the same time I hate to see these basic ass chart music bitches in her comments telling her it’s bad!! THIS MUSIC ISNT FOR YOU!!!!!  

people saying the album has no lyrics goes to show they didn't listen to album at all so therefore their opinions is very irrelevant. like have u heard punish? amber waves? pulldrone? vacillator? no lyrics apparently

the response to perverts has proved what I’ve always know and that is that her music pre perverts was Taylor swift dressed with satanic lore while her fans were desperate to pass it off as something deep and now that she’s actually doing it they are losing their minds cause it’s not giving Taylor swift anymore

I’m halfway in and I fucking love it. I like ambient music though lol. 
 

I get it not being for everyone though. 
 

Anyways on Pulldrone now, fuck— I think this is my fave LONG track on here.

Okay Etienne is so beautiful. 🥲✨

I think the album is more accessible if you skip Perverts, Housofpsychoticwomn and Pulldrone (they all have only a 79 rating on aoty.org )

you lana stans need to find occupation elsewhere

Perverts proved what I had already suspected: I am not a die-hard fan and prefer when her songs are closer to Preacher’s Daughter. I wasn’t expecting American Teenager type of songs here at all (it’s even almost out of place on the album tbh), I had read her description of it, read some critics, and read on her subreddit what it would about, so I knew Perverts would be ambiant but it’s not for me sadly. 
 

I have mad, mad respect for her artistry, I don’t think I’ve seen an artist approaching and planning her career as thoughtfully as she does, and fans will probably love Perverts for the reasons I don’t. The tracks are, to me, chamber music made with drones for people on a psychiatric ward, or they could be the soundtrack for a modern art showroom about mental institutions. I love ambiant music but I need a bit more melodies than what I heard on many tracks. 
 

Punish is my favourite (love that song so, so much). vacillator and Amber Waves are also good (although I can’t even hum the melody to Amber Waves tbh). 
 

Perverts, sadly, won’t be the soundtrack to my winter, but I’m glad so many of you are enjoying it

girl the instagram post is flooded with admiration and love.  I just skimmed through the comments and could not find a single bad one.  if they are there, they're buried deep in the mass amount of positive comments and surely have 100 people responding in defence of her. so why are you honing in on this as though the majority of people are sending her hate when the reviews are for the most part incredibly positive?

 

people are allowed to dislike the record btw.

 

insufferable

For one, we're on LanaBoards… and second, the person you quoted is an Ethel Cain stan who wasn't saying anything negative about the album

[lakeemmahottie 1,755]

can we just not squabble and stream perverts

[Waimea Bay 10,706]

The new version of housofpsychoticwomn is absolutely perfect

The melodic vocals in the beginning slowly transforming into almost zombie like groans towards the middle/end is one of the best things she's ever done

[lakeemmahottie 1,755]

No one you know is a good person

Fast, reckless driving often leads to slow, sad music

it's funny that you say this on a Lana Del Rey forum 

[Disx 74]

happy perverts release day everyone <3 can't stop thinking about it and probably won't think about anything else for weeks. highly suggest reading her recent tumblr asks to appreciate the project even more 

 

and for those of you who can't connect with the sound of a drone stretched over 1.5 hours she said she's gonna finish the b-sides now so don't leave the fandom yet! 

[LemonadeTea 540]

Wooww, perverts is even better than i thought it would be. i love the thought she put into every song, truly a genius

insufferable 

When I read the post I was half asleep and also the top comment I saw was the one I addressed. Maybe I exaggerated but… the point still stands. Of course people can dislike the record. I have no issue with that

 

However I take issue with the insufferable people who have swanned in recently and are in the comments saying stuff like ‘Ethel I love you but wtf is this’ etc. It’s narrow minded and entitled. I just wanted to give my two cents on that on a public forum  

 

As a fan of Hayden I’m elated to see the response in her comments, I just so happened to see several ones which provoked me to write my post.

[pin up galore 19,126]

I honestly have to respect how Ethel stans truly do the most in creating an off-putting aura towards her and her art  I remember around preachers daughter release when @the ocean lied about Ethel wanting this thread taken down for the sole purpose of gatekeeping when the thread was basically just them and another member cirlce jerking about being in the exclusive Ethel discord  and the lana comparisons discourse oooh what a time that was  im listening rn Im on track 3 and its great so far! I feel like Im naked and damp sitting in the corner of a dingy ass trap house slipping and sliding on broken glass n shit wondering how I got here from my once seemingly perfect golden suburban upbringing . saw someone on twitter call it skinamarink vibes and thats so true  adore that movie

Omg onanist 

 

I haven’t listened to preachers daughter but I’m loving perverts
