sweet is probably one of (if not) the best songs on OB it’s so so so beautiful

 

Did you know..., Sweet, and A&W is her second best 3 track run (after Heroin, Change, Get Free)

I don't think those are unpopular opinions tbh 

To be fair in ocean blvd pre release people went insane if you said you thought blue banisters was bad lol i think ocean blvd being so much better than blue banisters made people stop being so defensive of it though

i don't know what is up with lana and bare feet but she needs to stop mentioning them in her songs it just seems so out of place most of the time 

 

i'm sweeeeet    

bare feeeeet

out of place?? lana??? with bare feet????  
 

*uhmmm i feel like I also need to clarify these are very real examples of lana being lana not some foot fetish shit.. pretty sure there’s a thread for that already here for some reason..…. but that is not what this is! this is just proof lana is being so real and truthful while writing lyrics.. a true artist!!!

I should rephrase - not out of place. Just really fucking weird

Lol i agree I hate when any singer mentions bare feet because i think feet are so gross

[West Coast 45,793]

Although every album of hers has its signature/outstanding song(s), I think that people exaggerate how different or decipherable her past four albums are sonically, except maybe Blue Banisters. Then came Ocean Blvd., and, to me, it's a pot-pourri of all its three predecessors.

i've become a white dress truther, which has become one of my favorites

ok that’s understandable 

considering she also has a poem named bare feet on linoleum as well and just mentions them in multiple other songs?? lolita comes to mind (though I can appreciate its usage there since it fits the song) and BB off the top of my head..it’s certainly an interesting choice to have as a signature touch to her lyrics similar to “red dress” and “blue” 

but it does feel personal to her in some sense at least.. though i understand the distaste people would have especially if youre uncomfortable with feet.. 

 

like out of context “chickens running bare feet there’s a baby on the way” is so random and makes it sound like lana is insinuating chickens normally have a pair of kicks they wear to run around in

[Stoned Mary in the Garden 6,786]

AKA and ocean boulevard are her two best records so far 

[oldandugly 1,630]

Chemtrails and blue banisters are 2 of her best albums. dont know why theyre hated so much

[Embach 42,322]

Born To Die is still one of her most majestic songs ever. Every time the orchestra starts I'm just floating

were we in the same tunnel pre-release thread? bc the one i was in everyone was constantly dragging banisters and saying thwy don't even count it as one of her albums bc its "so bad". and of course also a bunch of people blaming jack for how the album turned out despite him not even being apart it lol. the only time there were more than a small minority of people on here defending banisters was in the first couple days after it was released.

The way most of the opinions in this thread aren’t even unpopular 

[Embach 42,322]

i don't mind her next album (LDR10) being country

I was just about to say this same thing...

Although I'd probably prefer if she went down a more experimental A&W kind of route, I wouldn't mind a country album. Some of her songs already have a country influence, like the sliding guitars on Paradise, which I love. I do enjoy some country music, as long as it's not the boring pop-ified modern country, and I couldn't see Lana making music like that, so...

Sad Girl also sounds really western to me 

I do admit I grew up listening to country music so I might have a sentimental bias but I digress

i literally got in a huge fight with a user because i said textbook lyrics were bad that pre-release was hostile on both ends tbh

I love it so so much.  Especially the part "If I'm not there...", idk it just sounds so special and meaningful and reminds me of the devotion expressed in Old Money or How To Disappear (I'm always going to be right here), but this time it's up to her partner to run for her. It always makes me super emotional to imagine (finally) having someone forever by my side. 

 

Side note while we're (still) at it with the Beautiful slander: if I'm not mistaken, I saw people comparing Sweet and Beautiful but I don't hear the similarities  Sweet is currently part of my top 3 in OB while Beautiful... well, let's say I now tolerate the verses.  Whereas, Sweet is an amazing song with a beautiful melody, a real chorus and lovely lyrics  

 

 

Now that's an unpopular opinion. 

I just don't know how such an inoffensive, harmless song like Beautiful can cause such anger in this fan base lmao. Blue Banisters in general is shitted on entirely too much. Overall, it's a nice cohesive mature record.

 

Chemtrails is more boring, though it's a nice album as a whole....she missed a bit. 

 

Both are still good records that this fan base does too much on. For me.

[bluechemtrails 26,723]

her choice of collab partners has been very good lately (esp. Jon Batiste)

[Embach 42,322]

I don't wanna be negative here but considering how messy her newsletter thingy is, I can see it being shut down in the future  but it's also a very new thing so I hope they're just testing around with it. But I don't really have a good feeling about it honestly. Let's hope I'm proven wrong
