Vanilla Icy 29,602 Posted February 7, 2021 would you consider any of lana's albums or specific songs to sound "dated" or "horribly aged"? 1 Quote i love you, but you don't understand me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fingertips 72,036 Posted February 7, 2021 Will get killed for this, but "Paradise" is the only LDR project that has aged for me. I find most of the songs hard not to skip over. Mostly because the production sounds very jarring on some tracks, such as "American" and "Body Electric" (even though I do still like this one) I don't feel like I can relate to "Ride" anymore. Something about the Paradise project shifted for me and I have trouble connecting to it. 10 Quote "You can't be a muse and be happy, too.

Flowerbomb 65,594 Posted February 7, 2021 I feel like her political songs have aged pretty badly like Coachella for example. What's funny is that I find her unreleased stuff to have aged SO well like idk...if she released those songs today I think people would love them. Didn't some of her old unreleased music get a lot of good exposure on TikTok? Her mind 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fingertips 72,036 Posted February 7, 2021 Also agree with @Bunny Mozart about the political tracks, although I still adore "Change" (even though it's not political but more humanistic and universal). GBA is the best of the political trifecta of LFL imo. 2 Quote "You can't be a muse and be happy, too.

havanna 66 Posted February 7, 2021 I think it's about the people listening and how their life changed is the reason for it like I can't listen to most songs on lust for life for this reason 1 Quote In a school full of Azealias I'm a Lana Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mer 61,764 Posted February 7, 2021 BTD reminds me of being a cirngey 13 year old and thinking I could relate to the lyrics, so for that reason I can’t listen to it.

partymonster 4,722 Posted February 7, 2021 someone mentioned it before but old money has defo aged. i used to love it back in 2015/16 and now i cant stand it when it comes on. also IMO the majority of LFL aged + diet mountain dew 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rightofjupiter 16,594 Posted February 7, 2021 Both BTD & Paradise have aged badly IMO (paradise slightly less so bc I think the production is so much better than BTD, but still has some things that feel v specifically early ‘10s to me). but I know there’s plenty of ppl who feel differently. Everything else remains perfection. LFL places itself really specifically time-wise w some of the lyrics (Coachella etc) but I don’t think its actual sound is dated. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel the same, I absolutely loved Paradise when it was released but I probably haven't listened to it anymore in like 3 or 4 years maybe 1 Quote Dying by the hand of a foreign man, Happily Calling out my name in the summer rain, Ciao amore 13.04.2018 | 04.06.2024 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That Venice Bitch 28,150 Posted February 7, 2021 Born To Die is reminiscent of our cringy Tumblr years, which I know we have all tried to repress for years. I think that inherently dates the album lol Except for for Video Games that bitch is timeless 4 Quote .・゜゜・ ⋆·˚ ༘ * GIVE PEACE A CHANCE ˚ ༘ ⋆。˚ ・゜゜・. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
West Coast 45,795 Posted February 7, 2021 I don't think any or her albums have aged that badly tbh, if anything the so called cringe lyrics on BTD make me cringe less than some corny lyrics on her most recent work. To each their own. I'm also not big with passing judgement with a modern/contemporate perspective to judge someone's past artistic work, but I think that's a debate for another day. Like that's such an easy target to chose, how about judging something more contemporate? 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think any Björk fan is going around saying that "DEBUT IS BETTER THAN VULNICURA BECAUSE I HAVE SO MANY MEMORIES ATTACHED TO IT," or Radiohead fans about Pablo Honey. It's not realistic to not take into consideration change in one's own life an the artist's life. 0 Quote "You can't be a muse and be happy, too.

Off To The Races 2010 demo pls 19,335 Posted February 7, 2021 Y'all gonna murder me but I can't enjoy Ultraviolence anymore. It's still a sonic masterpiece and it deserves the praise it has among the fandom but I've overplayed it since 2016 that I don't even want to revisit it nowadays. I rarely visit some tracks like BB, SOC, FK, ITH and MPG (demo) 1 Quote "ser bella me dio privilegios, pero ser astuta me dio poder" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sweetie 6,627 Posted February 7, 2021 Lust for Life is the only LDR album that hasn't aged like wine, imo. That 'trap beat' aesthetic just feels a bit too forced, it doesn't have the same timeless quality as the luscious reverbed guitars or sweeping cinematic orchestras from her other albums. It's still a beautiful album though, some of the songs stand very strongly on their own. LFL is gonna hit very hard when the late-2010s nostalgia starts kicking in, tbh. I'm calling it if we're still alive in 10 years 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theo 318 Posted February 7, 2021 For me, it is Born to Die. I used to love this album so much, it started my love to Lana, but as Lana was changing, so was my music taste I guess (in the same direction fortunately). Now, I find this album very overproduced. But the biggest crime is what they did with Lana's voice. On practically all the other albums, I can feel that Lana is singing with her natural voice, but in Born to Die, both her low and high ranges sound so unnatural, especially in songs like Off To The Races, Blue Jeans, Summertime Sadness, Dark Paradise, Carmen, Lolita... I think it was not only her singing style, but also weird postproduction effects... I am really happy that with Ultraviolence she decided not to continue this "pop" path... And I am really, really curious how Born to Die would sound is she (re)recorded it today. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dominikx4 25,408 Posted February 7, 2021 lana's music has aged pretty well imo. the only things that bother me are the trap beats in LFL which scream 2017 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
