I think her old songwriting (2018 and before) is far better than her current songwriting and it's somewhat frustrating that people are lauding her as a songwriting genius for her current work because honestly shit like BTD, UV and Honeymoon were actual fucking genius whereas I feel like a lot of the current diary-entry lyrics and automatic writing or whatever could be written by pretty much anyone and is only interesting because of the vivid world she created throughout the previous eras mentioned so people place it in that context and act like it's genius when to me it's more like margin notes

 

it is also quite odd to me that people/critics discredit or just don't pay more attention to the lyrics of her previous songs from the albums that you mentioned... the writing was great back then as well!

cotcc, blue banisters, and dykttatuob are basically NFR and honeymoons child... i could give you a whole ass paragraph about songs from post nfr that could easily be on honeymoon or nfr

Arcadia is basically unlistenable

The lyrics are forgettable, repetitive and pointless, and the delivery is whiny 

The best thing about it is the actual title

I feel like Clayton probably told her it was good and/or secretly co-wrote it because I find it difficult to believe that she approved it for release

I love Born To Die but I hate most of the outtakes from that album 

[Venice Jesus Whore 4,471]

I don't understand the hype around Fine China.

Definitely not unpopular comment but- Discoursing whether Lana has a better sound back then or now is was one thing/debatable and all leads back to taste but saying her writing now is morosely bad just sounds wild/crazy to me… her writing has definitely nourished since honeymoon i’d say. Paradise was a start of something but the writing on ultra… lovely gritty record though. Dare i’d say aka has better writing… Love them all btw.

The Honeymoon demos are better than the album versions

[Party Favor 10,308]

pains me seeing so many people discredit ultraviolence. i know this is the unpopular opinion thread but whew the way some of you have no decorum when it comes to subjecting us to your bad taste
