but beloved within the fanbase

[Pico Ocean Boulevard 41,089]

I think Violets For Roses deserves more praise & appreciation 

The melody, the production,  her harmonies, the lyrics  such a stunning song

Fantano is a incel that likes rap music and hates woman... Why r u surprised

how are people still going w this... Charli XCX, Joanna Newsom, PJ Harvey and more are some of his most loved albums, he LOVED NFR, is right into hyperpop/hot girl rap genre etc and this year gave out two 10/10s for the first and second time since 2018 to Spellling and Lingua Ignota.

 

I think his criticisms are fair and it's not very controversial at all to say this sounds quite slapped together because it literally is quite close to an unreleased compilation. How ironic that people bemoan his dickriding fanbase (which to be fair is definitely real) but refuse to acknowledge his criticisms of Lana

 Something similar is happening to me regarding the record. Like, I listened to it a handful of times and got totally haunted by it. Such an amazing, complex, powerful album. But I feel it's actually too heavy on all levels to listen to it frequently. Not something I can just play casually without having to do a certain emotional/cognitive effort while at it. But that's actually what makes it so special as well. As a big, old book to go back to from time to time to reflect on it. The most substantious, relevant project Lana has given us till today (and thats a lot to say).

The only youtube reviewer that matters is ajay.

Him liking a few albums from female artists doesn’t mean anything. His whole reaction to the Fetch the Bolt Cutters situation was really gross. I’m sure he does have some valid criticisms but don’t see why anyone would go that hard defending him. 

[Taco Truck x VB 3,595]

come on Lana, time to announce LDR9 

[bluechemtrails 26,723]

After falling back to #3 in the worldwide itunes charts, it has now climbed up one place to #2 : https://kworb.net/aww/

Still #1 in Russia and Mexico and four other countries: https://kworb.net/itunes/artist/lanadelrey.html

Yeah, this album makes me so emotional too  

So I stream in volume 0 when feeling emotional and volume 100 when feeling emotional too so

[wildheart 904]

My updated list after a couple of days and many listens: 

 

1. Text book
2. BBS
3. Dealer
4. Thunder
5. WW
6. IYLDWM 
7. Nectar of the Gods
8. Living Legend
9. Blue Banisters 
10. Violets for Roses
11. Sweet Carolina
12. Arcadia
13. Beautiful 
14. Cherry Blossom
15. Trio 

(hot take: I feel VFR, Beautiful and Cherry Blossom could have been album highlights under Jack’s production. The lyrics are there but the melody and production aren’t that interesting. They give me WAH and NATWAL energy.)
