I mean y’all go on about lyrics constantly but there’s no meats on the bones there-it has electric guitar but it’s by no more means even the best solo in her disco-it’s got length, that’s it. 
 

I get that VB is not for everyone. For me, it was a dream come true: I love trippy slowburners of a song, and this ticked all the boxes. Cruel World was the closest she had dwelled into that genre before VB, but those alt guitars Knocked it out of the park for me. Yes, the lyrics are bland on their own, but it’s a song about getting high: pretty normal they’re not Shakespearean. But again, I know that not everybody will love those vibes. 
but to read some Video Games slander is a bit surprising to say the least  it’s not even my fave from her, I can spend many weeks without listening to it,  but I still love it anyways and when the feeling is right, VG hits hard. 
anyways, back to topics: I do hope that some of the trippy guitars from VB and the end of MAC will be on this album. 
anyone else feels like the « Honeymoon from hell » caption from Jack’s IG story was about them recording American Whore?

Honestly, I’m guessing we’re not going to be seeing songs lyrically similar to something like Venice since the new songs on the album will most likely be wordy, but I do have an appreciation for songs with simple lyrics like it. Dream pop songs like it typically just have simple lyrics anyways, like Fade Into You by Mazzy Star, Milk by Sweet Trip, anything by Cocteau Twins, etc where the focus is a bit more of the atmosphere the song creates. I personally enjoy its lyrics despite its simplicity. But I also just like the song so it’s a subjective opinion and I don’t blame you for disliking them 

 

This talk really makes me wonder about the lyrical content/styling of her songs in TUOB! I wonder if all of them will be as wordy yet poetic like the title track

Thought Id share the above for everyone-It clarifies who "Bill" is so if anyone wants to update lananalysis-this may help correlate songs-The page is also called NA Daytona.

I believe some members have already picked up on this information before but it seems to have been lost.

The above is "JIM"- see the reference to "off the races" being said verbatim and his obsession with Hawaii.

are we gonna continue on constantly discuss our own preferences and tastes and obligate other people to agree? I think it’s pretty well known that we all here appreciate different albums: some of us like her earlier work better, others love the new stuff. that’s why being a versatile artist is all about.

people here just must know that their tastes are not indestructible truths and all of the options are alright.

I guess it’s fun once in a while, when you do it in a funny way but it’s annoying when you really wanna make others like what you like.

just enjoy what u like and let others do the same.

with that being said, we all know that her best album is Ultraviolence but her magnum opus is Norman

I'm just messing with king @West Coast, but yes I agree it's very annoying

the amount of people begging for “old lana” is exhausting  you really expect a 37 year old woman to sing about bad boys, old hollywood stars, drugs, etc.?? give it a rest 💀

redacteds before a woman turns 40 and she's not making the music they want her to make: omg this is so boring we want the old y/n back!!!!111!11!1

redacteds after a woman turns 40 regardless of whether she's making the music they want her to make or not: omg she's a literal grandma creaking bones going to the retirement home she's a flop we never liked her she's irrelevant she makes granny music she's a try hard stop trying to be hip you're not cool

edit: oh and not to mention that me putting it at 40 is very generous

once again, everything is based on your opinion and your opinion only. 
and sometimes some people share the same opinion. but they are not unconditional truths. it’s just your point of view.

You will notice that these arguments often happen during droughts. It's rocket science.

I just talked about this a few hours ago but I think her lyrics these last few albums, especially on Blue Banisters, have been her most interesting anyway. I will take songs about postpartum depression, politics, reflection about herself/her career, interpersonal relationships, etc over “Kiss me in the D-A-R-K dark tonight” any day

Yeah it's all just opinions. LanaBoards posts, blog entries, album/song reviews in so-called prestigious media outlets, baldheaded pseudo self-proclaimed music connaiseur and edgelord extraordinaire, etc; it's all the same really.

the only unconditional truth in this thread is the fact that this album is 70 (or 71 idk) DAYS AWAY LEZZZ GOOOO

While I prefer “old Lana” and her veiled metaphor and storyteller approach to the writing of her first 10 years, I also appreciate the honesty in these last few albums. With Dragonslayer leaking it really made it clear that Lana, is aware she isn’t Lana , if that makes sense. She’s spent the last three albums deconstructing the enigma. And I love to see it!

[Get Drunk 17,971]

Why are we acting like Lana is 78 years of age.. she can still make fun music like Kylie Minogue, Madonna and Beyonce are all older than Lana and can still make upbeat songs. 
 

I don’t think it’s unusual for people who fell in love with Lana during earlier eras to want her to recreate the sounds of that era. And I’m kind of sick of y’all refusing to listen to anyone who says they miss UV or HM or even NFR!, they’re just voicing their opinions and hopes and dreams. Let them live!

i've seen a lot of very misogynistic and ageist stuff thrown at kylie, madonna & beyoncé recently just for the record

literally name a woman over 40 and try to prove that people** are not writing them off simply because of their age (and because they're a woman; not even gonna go into beyoncé being a black woman over 40 oh my god shock and horror) and btw if lana released ocean blvd at 78 would that change whether it was good or not?

no fr!!! why cant we just let the woman grow n write about her life in the way she sees fit. shes a genius and (most) everything she makes is incredible art. just bc shes not talking about the same topics she was in her 20s doesnt make her recent stuff bad. its just a whole bunch of sexism and ageism. 

 

edit: my initial post was simply pointing out that lana is growing as a person n is not going to talk about the shit she talked about in her 20s. she can obviously still make bops ie. Black Bathing suit

I think ur missing my point bestie, someone said she’s a 37 year old woman so she’s not gonna write songs about bad boys 😭
