cherryblossoms 10,405 Posted October 31, 2018 I think Honeymoon is a solid, charming album but not exactly a masterpiece. There’s nothing particularly groundbreakaing about the songwriting/lyrics/production that makes it a game changer like UV. I would’ve liked for the sound to have been even more experimental and unconventional. A stronger blend of that vintage production mixed with even more futuristic/electronic sound effects (Jamie xx, Oneohtrix Point Never, etc.) could’ve been super innovative. Probably would’ve been my favorite album to date. Still love the classic sound of songs like 24 and Religion though. Also why didn’t she end this album with her cover of The Good Life, that would’ve been beyond perfect. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dark Angel 201,037 Posted October 31, 2018 I can see how people think that Without You and Wildest Dreams sound similar.. in the chorus... but I think people are totally reaching when they say Taylor copied her. 4 Quote ─── ⋆⋅ ♰ ⋅⋆ ─── Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valerie 1,379 Posted November 1, 2018 How To Diarrhea has awful lyrics. In fact nothing she's teased has been anything special thus far from a lyrical point of view. She needs to stop acting like she's some vagabond poet/the second coming of Leonard Cohen and start focusing on improving the lazy autopilot mode she's gotten comfortable with. Lyfe is hard with two catz in the yard 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lyfe is hard with two catz in the yard I will admit that when I first heard it I thought the lyrics were a little cringey but the song as a whole isn't bad 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

annedauphine 35,814 Posted November 1, 2018 I hated 24 when I first heard it and I hate it now I think it's the released song I dislike the most as well but I don't think it's this unpopular to think that 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
graham4anything 2,859 Posted November 1, 2018 How to disappear is one of the greatest protest songs of all time. Shows how the pitiful deplorable trump man seethes with self-pity, stupidty, and total lack of being able to get it up both proverbially and in their general life, totally pathetic losers and pathos And probably the Apple version is the one that she will sing with just piano (hopefully better than the hack (LOL) that was there) Where was Byron @itsMr_Thomas but if not Byron, one dream that Lana & Elton were to duet on this the suite of the 3 songs so far are amazing. And 100% Lana. Jack should be happy he is along for the ride. 1 Quote Lana is our modern day Edith Piaf. Totally unique. a mixture of Brian WIlson Roy Orbison, Leonard Cohen, Gram Parsons, Elton & Bernie. Born to Die/Paradise is comparable to Elton's Captain Fantastic. All the records need to be listened whole. Waiting for a box set vinyl of all 400 songs not on any lp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
White Dress 6,901 Posted November 1, 2018 Ultraviolence is amazing until MPG and is super front-loaded. The second half is some of her worst work (MPG-G&R) evoking zero emotion and drab imagery that is alost too cliche for her lyrics. Florida Kilos saves the second half. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cherryblossoms 10,405 Posted November 1, 2018 24 & BPBP are masterpieces and highlights in her discography Only people with taste can see past the disappointing production of the album version and appreciate that song for what it really is. I think it could’ve been one of her best songs to date it was given the right production and not the snoozefest we got. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lyfe is hard with two catz in the yard I personally liked the lyrics but honestly? Fair enough. I've noticed she's gotten lazy with a lot of her lyrics lately. I think she could be one of the defining artists of our time if she really tried. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The second half is some of her worst work (MPG-G&R) evoking zero emotion and drab imagery that is alost too cliche for her lyrics. Florida Kilos saves the second half. I have only recently got into MPG, I used to not think much of it and then for a long time never listened to it but like 3 weeks ago I added it into my Lana playlist and put it in order so it goes > Religion > Salvatore > MPG > FMWUTTT and have been listening to those 4 songs on repeat a lot. I think they lyrically don't really tell good stories or have a lot of depth or emotion or anything in them but they are really nice to listen to and have a good vibe to them and they go well together to me. I have probably listened to MPG more times in October than I did in total before 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bluefiona 8,050 Posted November 5, 2018 I wanna get this off my chest... the 2017 Complex Magazine photo shoot was not that great. And I think black wavy hair ages her/is not flattering on her. I agree with you about the black hair. It looks terrible on her skin tone. Light Brown is okay and the color she had during Born To Die (reddish honey?) was gorgeous on her. Ombre looks good on her too but black hair fully is difficult to pull off for many people. For Lana it makes her look older and even adds weight to her face. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, and that reminds me, the really light platinum blonde she had during her Lizzy Grant days also had a harsh effect on her face, whereas the blonde she had back in 2016 looked much better on her and she looked more youthful because it was a warmer/brownish blonde. So it could be her skin tone for the reason why the auburn/warm brown looked best on her like you said. The 2016 blonde is under appreciated! 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Her blonde hair looked stunning during this time. And I also liked her natural blonde hair she had when she was in her teens. But her 2005-2008/9 blonde era was lowkey awful (sorry!) 2 Quote I'm kinda focused on being a baddie right now. I can't really work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
