"You wanted me sadder,” she sadly, sadly breathes on a sad little song about a man sadly not turning up for a date, and I wonder if there is anyone on earth who really does want her sadder? Indeed, is it possible to be any sadder than Lana Del Rey in a blue mood?"

 

oh i just know he is an incel 

Literally

that sounds just disrespectful and not like a music review at this point..

this is pathetic 

 

they have such a strong opinion on her and they refuse to change their mind at all

 

”I know I know I know you hate me” indeed 

 

The fact that the album ends with this lyric is too good. I swear her work goes right over most of these people's heads, but she really has the last laugh.

whilst the curiously titled Grandfather Please Stand on the Shoulders of my Father While He’s Deep Sea Fishing challenges perceptions of her as an industry construct, “Frankenstein’s wet dream”, whilst calling for spiritual protection for herself and her family. 

 

 

thats not even the lyric what

PLEASE 

 

and this is the total crap that people care about

I think only one or two reviewers have actually acknowledged that the line is for them. 

I hope these reviews don’t trigger a “but you did, and I want revenge” post. That said, she seems to be over how she’s perceived and realizes that she simply isn’t going to get the recognition she deserves.

Yep. Like I've said a hundred times, this is definitely an album for the diehard Lana fans. Maybe it'll be a cult classic down the line. But the normies and casual listeners and even BTD stans are not going to get it. Oh well. This is her deepest album yet, and quite clearly a challenging listen for some people...

It's quite sad. I've watched a few reaction videos and all of them seemed to only enjoy the ending tracks. I think the singles deceived general population 

[littleredpartydress 49,883]

i know she is cooking up an instagram post right now 

 

just save it to your drafts and turn your phone off @lana 

[honeybadger 40,622]

Spoiler

this has already been said probably but i cannot read .. anyways like someone said a lot of this criticism reminds me of pre nfr criticism, but the difference with album i think is that lana KNOWS it’ll be received this way and made intentional choices related to that … “i’m not that smart but i’ve got things to say” “print it into black and white pages don’t phase me, before you talk let me stop what you’re saying, i know i know i know that you hate me” putting this insane mix of songs together that’s experimental and some of them are rough and using the VB demo and the interludes …. 

 

if everyone likes it maybe it isn’t that good <3 

[SalvaWHORE 34,171]

I just remember 2 years ago, i did say somewhere on LB several times that i wished she had ended NFR with Venice Bitch, for me that song is like the last hurrah, the last summer on Earth while LA's in flames and the end of the world is coming near.

And now she literally ends Ocean Blvd with Venice Bitch

fk the critics lets look at what father rob has to say

[drugsdesire 10,000]

Cause I love to love to love to love you

I hate to hate to hate to hate you 

Put the Beatles on, light the candles, go back to bed 

Cause I wanna wanna wanna want you 

I need to need to need to need you

Put the TV on, the flowers in the vase, lie your head

btw these lyrics remind me so much of @burthday kake , she posted them and i remember immediately playing the song bc of how beautiful the lyrics were <3

you guys are so dramatic is2g, were getting GOOD reviews and this forum is acting as if we have a 40 score on MC

Literally any sh*t is getting a score over 75 now. Objectively this album is a 80 or 85 but if we compare it to something like MIDnights it' a 95. That's why fans are mad.

A pop girl with one of the worst discographies rn Demi Lovato got a 78 for her latest record and this one is 2 points higher so far.

Which cover are you guys using for you iTunes/Apple Music? I’m using the indie cover

Taco Truck makes me cry it’s just such a full-circle moment and really makes me think we are going somewhere more carefree for the next record

this is a hatecrime for sure (im a swiftie but i personally don't think Midnights deserves to be equal as "evermore" metascore)
