Unpopular Lana Opinions

[Daisy Hearted 1,722]

The blond hair is not it...

Isn't it crazy how blonde is her natural color but we all collectively hate it lmao

I actually loved NFR, but I never understood her saying that the album was basically for the masses that said she does the same thing when, lyrically, it doesn't sound any more happier/optimistic than her other albums. I mean, cinnamon girl, california, love song, the greatest, happiness is a butterfly, they aren't songs that I'd say would refute the claim a lot of people have concerning her being a sad girl or whatever.

Tbf 'NFR' is a good album, but it's just kinda beige and uneventful, and the production/instrumentation is also very lackluster. I feel like after 'Lust for Life' which was in general panned by the fans, whatever album Lana was going to release that was slightly better and more cohesive than 'LFL' would be considered some sort of masterpiece. She def stoop the bar pretty low after 'Honeymoon'.

If the production of COCC is anything like NFR with that empty airy quiet sound I’m gonna be upset, I love NFR but I miss Rick A TON these days

lana's worst released songs are lust for life, lolita and god knows i tried

Oop this is controversial. (I agree on LFL tho)

[lilithlana 195]

God knows I tried is amazing

[Lavender Sunshine 4,246]

Doin' time music video is ugly

[Venice Bitch 681]

God knows I tried is amazing

i mean, it is objectively a good song but to me it appears as boring until the bridge and lacking production wise

I consider myself to be a hardcore lana stan and since day 1 i felt like nfr is "lighter" and "brighter" than her pre l4l work. IDK why but it is what it is.

I honestly can't stand video games anymore 

[Sugar Venom 9,658]

I miss when all that’s real to her was halloween and jesus

 

I hope after this record she will stop trying to appease people and go back to making controversial or provocative music again, it’s really where she shines. any alt/indie pop girl could’ve done cinnamon girl, but only lana can make ultraviolence

Life is beautiful isn't THAT great. I like it, she sounds beautiful but I feel like the song misses something, or perhaps is a bit repetitive.

The lyrics are corny AF. Dan Heath’s production saves it for me.

This.

 

NFR's production has been discussed to death, but THIS is the crux of the problem I have with that album.

 

I'm hopeful about COCC. We only have a short, low quality snippet, but based on the title alone, Tulsa Jesus Freak sounds like a serve. Even if it's unironically about him, at least there appears to be some self-awareness. Finally.

Haha yeah - definitely seeing as in LFL she still had grand sounds and lyrics including people dying from a heroin overdose, obscure themes like Aleister Crowley, self-destructive feelings of love, and impending apocalypses. That's not to say NFR doesn't have intelligent lyrics and some really soulful pieces, but on a whole it really makes NFR sound light and idealised. "Fresh out of fucks forever" is the perfect summation of the album for me cos it feels breezy.

LFL era was the best we had in a while. Maybe music wasnt top knotch but we were fed. It was Lana Del Rey's renaissance.

I LOVE Dan Heath him and Rick are her best producers.

i feel like when it comes to unreleased stuff, a lot of lana's more interesting and unique tracks get looked over and forgotten, and her most "basic" (sorry to use that term i just can't think of a different one) unreleased tracks get TONNES of praise - i also feel like if a lot of those tracks were actually released, they'd be nowhere near as revered.
