lana had a POINT when she covered "don't let me be misunderstood"

When a review doesn’t even care to mention IYLDWM or Thunder but spends half the time talking about other albums or sOcIaL mEdIa ScAnDaLs  … serious case of lack of taste I’m so sorry for them

I just noticed NME rated Solar Bomb with 100. That album is better than Blue Banisters in any part of Uranus and perhaps in Andromeda. 
 

Critics are a mess.

Ban.

Also, I don’t read music reviews at all really so idk if this is normal but… what is with the excessive descriptors? It’s really annoying me, somehow they list three adjectives in a row and yet manage to say nothing.. And no one seems to really digest and philosophize the content of her songs and the album as a whole, they just list some instruments and quote a random lyric, and any connections they make are surface level… I thot y’all had to go to school to get this job right??

yes, at least the fans would still be aware that they are outtakes and once we heard them we would know how lyrically subpar they are

i mean "spin me around like a ballerina?" lizzy grant is shaking.

her songwriting is miles (kane) better nowadays, the stream of consciousness, the revelations and the tongue-in-cheek lines that throw you off-balance ('fuck you kevin') are much better than i get wild on you baby i get wild and fucking crazy

Can you just stop with the Nectar hate?

We got it , you don't like it being on the album

Definitely no. I didn’t see this harassment when TNBAR, Bartender or Yosemite made their respective albums. 

because when those were released they were 2 to 3 years old at max, we are dealing with 8 year old outtakes now and more than the amount of outtakes that we got before so it shows

[Honeyyoung 17,096]

i in a way feel like the point of this album was to get mixed reviews – after all, "if everybody likes it, maybe it's not that good"

7/10

my heart is pounding oh god this will be around 70 or lower there's no way she will top chemtrails' score

[Fingertips 72,051]

Ultraviolence, Honeymoon and Blue Banisters...the misunderstood trifecta. 

[Dark Angel 202,574]

i would agree that releasing 8 year old outtakes is a choice but let's not act like they're terribly written because of one awkward line in the chorus, nectar has a lot of really interesting, well-written lines, and cherry blossom is very beautiful

 

it simply cannot compare to that stupid crypto/kevin line in sweet carolina, or any streams of consiousness...

[Lightning Moonbeam 861]

Been a lovely release evening with all of y’all  signing off catch you in the post release thread lovelies 

also is it better to stream the album on repeat or a playlist with all the songs added?

Critics can be very pretentious. The critiques made in the Guardian review are — I don’t want to say baseless — but the way they go about framing their points is really too much. Even in “positive” reviews, there are a lot of backhanded compliments. It’s as if they feel the need to justify their paying Lana a compliment.  

The Guardian Journalists I’d not piss on if they were on fire, real nasty hatful bunch who seem to detest when an artist doesn’t follow the grain.

Violets for Roses is the Bartender of the album. LOVE it
