video games deserves the hype and not liking it doesn't make you unique or different

!!!! literally my fav lana song but i always get embarrassed to say it LOL

I Talk to Jesus isn't actually all that good

[Veinsineon 70,291]

I Talk to Jesus isn't actually all that good

It's about as good as The Good Life 

 

 

Living Legend and LiB however...

 

 

 

 

[prettywhenimhigh 48,321]

yeah ITTJ and LIB didn't get me excited either

[daphnedinkley 12,394]

i don't like angels forever, forever angels tbh it's not bad, it just feels almost.... unnecessary? and i can't help but feel like there's a reason it was never released. it feels like a second rate 'Ride' tbh.

I feel like it's just too repetitive and dull, I'm glad it wasn't released

[Kimi 227]

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.

fuck yeah, trash like tv in black and white, paris or queen of disaster being praised when we have diamonds like get drunk, trash magic or wayamaya

[Vanilla Icy 29,591]

if lana's debut was full of songs like queen of disaster and prom song she wouldn't be as fascinating of an artist, she'd probably be more successful but just another run of the mill bubblegum pop star

i relate to this a lot    a lot of her most popular unreleased tracks, such as serial killer, queen of disaster, kinda outta luck, and mmitpm are either some of my least favorite, or least listened to tracks, i guess it's just coincidental and personal taste.

Yeah not a fan of The Good Life either. As you said though, LIB and Living Legend are wonderful

[Doll Harlow 12,349]

Summer Bummer is underrated... I had to say it

[clementines 9,658]

The greatest is the best song on NFR & one of the best songs in her discography

Concept is good, but it's badly realised. Preach.

Mariners Apartment Complex is her magnum opus. It is the epitome of what her music represents. 

[Sugar Venom 9,651]

i have a theory that part of the themes and lyricism in NFR was kind of an experiment to test critics/the general public. I don’t think that it felt totally authentic to her (obviously there is a grain of truth in everything she says/does, but in this case it kind of felt forced, like the smile on the LFL cover), and to me her insta debacle confirmed this. not saying she doesn’t fully stand behind everything she wrote, I just don’t think it’s her natural way of thinking about things so it didn’t feel very passionate to me, which is something I always look forward to in her music. i think that’s why she didn’t sing too many of the new songs on tour either, although not to drag her it didn’t seem like she enjoyed singing many of her songs at all lmfao

Taste.

I don’t know why but MAC seems a little bit underrated to me, maybe because it was overshadowed by Venice Bitch grandeur, being released just a week before it! Both are great songs, tho!

i think it might be her cowriting with jack which made the songs feel less lana as lana writing with rick probably comes very natural to her, and with others like emile they didn't really change a lot about the lyrics of the songs they worked on with her.

oh true I didn’t even think about this

Her poetry is actually fine once you understand that it's not 100% autobiographical and you don't feel the need to correlate everything back to what one might think her private life, interactions and relationships are actually like.

It's not particularly poignant, but it certainly is interesting to dive into in my honest opinion.
