GeminiLanaFan Posted November 20, 2023 Posted November 20, 2023 About Paradise being an EP… it was a common practice, for music labels, 10 years ago, to « hype » for a second time an album, a couple of months after its release, by releasing an EP. Gaga was doing it with the Monster EP, Lana also… Today, labels prefer having a « Deluxe addition » a couple of months after release. paradise is considered by Lana herself being a new album (although it’s debatable, what should or shouldn’t count as an LP with her: she considers Violet a full LP, but not Interscope), and with a song short (for the Deluxe version) to be technically considered a full LP, it’s hell of a long EP, and it feels like it’s its own thing. 1 Quote
DeadSeaOfMercury Posted November 20, 2023 Posted November 20, 2023 Paradise is an EP, Paradise is not 35 minutes long, Paradise at time of release was marketed as an EP / Bonus Disc to the Reissue of Born To Die. I love Paradise, It being an EP doesn’t diminish it’s beauty! I don’t understand why people argue that it’s an LP??? EDIT: Reveal hidden contents Not my opinion, But the Factual order… AKA BTD UV HM LFL NFR C BB DYK Paradise is an EP. Violet is an Audiobook. Reveal hidden contents 3 Quote

GeminiLanaFan Posted November 20, 2023 Posted November 20, 2023 Honestly at this point, it doesn’t really matter, unless one loses its mind when Interscope advertises her albums (like did someone lose their shit when they saw « the 9th album » on OB’s Target poster?) 2 Quote

Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd Expand I just can't believe this when the album cover literally says "ninth" with the screenshot you provided to end the paradise ep truthers and the screenshot of Lana calling BTD her first record, i feel like the order should be: 1. Born To Die 2. Paradise 3. Ultraviolence 4. Honeymoon 5. Lust For Life 6. Norman Fucking Rockwell 7. Chemtrails Over The Country Club 8. Blue Banisters 9.

Veinsineon Posted November 20, 2023 Posted November 20, 2023 um hellooo?!?!?! The Fame =/= The Fame Monster and Paradise =/= Born To Die OFC they're counted separately. Because in every aspect other than maybe RUNTIME?!?! (If you even want to try and make music that methodical [especially Lana's??]) They're treated as their own bodies of work. Eras. With accompanying stylistic choices, videos, physical releases, and more. Don't be a fool! 3 Quote
