I think we should be proud of the fact the Lana is still among the other female artists in this list after her 8th album. Especially  since she doesn’t have number one hits, heavy promo or even social media to let people know she has an album out.

Her managers were right when they said she was a Rite Of Passage artist. She will always stream well because of BTD-UV-NFR and so it allows her to make personal less mainstream albums like HM or CoCC

Here we go again bashing other female artists just because their fans are being annoying :pls:

I never cared much for Halsey until her latest, which I love. I really like Billie although she is not Lana IMO. To each its own: everybody has the right to love someone or not, and as you get older, numbers never matter as much as how much you connect with an album. But their damn hardcore fans that think that only theirs is the best and shit all over female singers is annoying AF (and really unfair to Lana, which inspired so many of them).

The vocals in IFLWM when she says LIE (LIE) are so Ultraviolence :bodyisready: 

This! The beat also reminds  me a lot of the drumming in The Blackest Day :flutter:

Yeah I too wish she was singing more than just the chorus and backing vocals in the outro, honestly with Miles singing on the majority of the song it would’ve fit better on one of his records

 

 I thought about it too but I think the song holds a personal meaning for Lana, maybe it is encapsualting a specific memory in her life. So Miles is only serving purpose to transfer the other person's lines. Maybe it could be the reason he was not written as feature.

I really like a lot of the songs but as a whole the album isn’t really clicking for me yet. I think it’s because the content is very contradictory in some parts, which is prob bc some songs are so much older than others. 
 

Like we have a song like Blue Banisters about her finding solace and independence among her friends and family, and being okay without a man. 
 

then a couple tracks later we have nectar of the gods which is literally about her self-destructing over a man and losing her way. Literally I’m doing drugs and wanting to die because this man doesn’t love me the way I want him to. 
 

Are both songs great? Yes! Do they need to be on the same album? Maybe not. 
 

I’m all for complexity and working out mixed feelings in the course of an album, ofc, but this kind of thing is a little jarring to me. 
 

It feels like some of these songs were made by completely different people. In past albums, she explored lots of facets of relationships and herself and her life, but there was always a very consistent thru-line. A central character or point or storyline. Here it’s just like a collage of random shit lol 
 

2013 and 2021 Lana Del Rey have virtually nothing in common at this point so I just think it’s a little strange they’re on the same album.

I have to confess that Beautiful has become one of my faves now. I love the message a lot & it's such a beautiful song:flutter: the piano in it is so beautiful & interesting,  I'm kinda obsessed with the piano in this song :wub:

Swan Song. It’s on my album Honeymoon. It’s the antithesis of hopefulness. It’s about trying to find beauty in giving up. If I had my way, I would continue to persist in all areas of my life, but it can be quite challenging because I can be too trusting too soon.":sadcore2:
