Random Lana Discussion Thread

[fierybkn 1,159]

Don't know where to post this, I've been looking for an album reaction thread but could not find one. I've watched For Whatever Reason's reactions to every single track from Norman Fucking Rockwell! on YouTube and God how cool that was. I suggest you all to watch them he's really dedicated. I've watched a ton of reactions from different people over the years and his are probably the best I've stumbled upon in a long time. He's not over the top and doesn't clickbait, and he always watches performances or the music video of the track he's reacting to. He also put out a video in which he reacts to the interviews she did before/after the album roll-out. 

Here's the link redirecting you to his channel if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/@ForWhateverReasonFWR 

He's next going to react to Chemtrails, Blue Banisters and Ocean Blvd once it comes out, then go back to the beginning with Born to Die onwards.

PS: NFR is now one of his favorite albums of all time.

The critique of BTD being over-produced will never make sense to me

@plastiscguy How is Black Beauty (PG Mix) coming along?

i think the "overproduced" critiques were referring to the addition of the guy yelling in the background of almost every song

or at least some similar complaint

Those are iconic

I have a few gripes with the production but I wouldn't say it's "over-produced"  Being familiar with that rock-n-roll National Anthem demo, I hate HATE hate the decision to make it retroactively fit the sound & tempo of the earlier singles. I don't think the lyrics/vocals were destined for that, it's way too tongue-in-cheek/fun of a song. The changes to Lolita were fine tho, it's still a climactic upbeat song, just a different vibe.

Lucky Ones was one of the first Lana songs I was obsessed with in like 2015/2016, one of my fav songs on BTD still, it reminds me of old disney movies and it's so romantic and cinematic... such classic Lana i was so surprised a lot of fans dislike it

when you can't talk about anything else because it'll be moved to another thread but there's nothing else to say about the album that we haven't said already

yeah same, i think if the three songs on the deluxe werent released, the album would not be the same and i would like it less without them

Delulu here. So disappointed! I thought Lana's comment, "What really will be said !" was meant to build anticipation for the small project she supports, the fledgling magazine. As the talk here points out: Lana doesn't NEED to tour, Lana has all the $$ & success she wants, Lana doesn't NEED to do promo. So I thought Empire of Lounge is a pet project of Lana's! And maybe we would get a live performance. I can hardly believe it!

That said, as a thinkpiece the comment about the Question for the Culture post from 2020, over which Lana was unfairly maligned, wasn't offensive.

Sorry.

lanas qftc was SO RIGHT
