Unpopular Lana Opinions

[Alexis Del Rey 446]

The only way NFR has aged is deliciously like fine wine.

Thank youuuu. I know I wasn't the only one who still loves NFR. I stream it almost everyday.

Idk the fandoms thoughts on this, but I think Heroin is one of her most beautiful songs (maybe her best vocal performance on an album track on the verses and chorus, the lullaby like quality, the instrumental), but then the bridge and outro almost ruin the song for me. When she sings “It’s hot... etc” she sounds like a crow cawing. I get that it maybe it’s a stylistic choice that everything is cool and super mellow and then there is such an immediate harsh contrast, but I think it’s ugly.

I have heard a lot of people say this about the bridge in Heroin. I love that little break because she expresses so much emotion in it. Like I can feel it.

not so much a Lana opinion as it is a fandom opinion, but it really bugs me when people describe the album version of How To Disappear as having "trap beats" when that song.... literally..... doesn't have trap beats????

totally agree and it doesn’t deserve to be in LFL which is her worst album

FILY is the best song on NFR.

on the subject of heroin... it's honestly the only lfl track i really listen to, i'm actually listening to it right now. the lfl album falls flat and doesn't compare to her other albums in my opinion, but heroin is really nice. it has the dreamy, melancholic but hopeful feel as the lfl demo, it's sad to see what lfl could've been. 

[Sugar Venom 9,658]

I miss how absolutely magical her live performances were when all she had to sing was btd/paradise songs

oh man.... you've just made me realise there really is an alternate timeline where both Heroin and the LFL demo are on the same album, but we're not living in it

Not my initial thought but it IS the only NFR I save to all my current playlists ...

lust for life is a dreamy masterpiece, you guys are on CRACK omg

 

its like you're on a cloud with a blunt in one hand and a glass of sangria in the other, overlooking LA

I don't get the hype for Live or Die, oh at all

i miss heart shaped box

I don't get the hype for Live or Die, oh at all

 

it's something i'd hear on the radio in 2014. also all of her rapping is bad. theres my unpopular opinion

yea the production feels super dated, and not in a fun way like some of her other cheesy unreleased tracks

she sounded amazing, the setlist was great, she looked beautiful and the crowd was respectful enough to stay loud during the loud songs and quiet during the quiet songs. literally a dream 

[ShadesOfFool 20,232]

Yeah her live performances since like 2018 are really really not remarkable at all

Heroin’s off-note notes are what California’s couldn’t be

heroin was one of the first songs she wrote for lfl right? so the whole album was supposed to have the sound i just realized

Yeah in the beginning she said the album was very much inspired by horror movie soundtracks and in those vids of her looking over the press shots for the era with Neil, they’re listening to horror movie strings. BAR, 13Beaches, Cherry, and WTWWAW are also very horror movie-esque

California > Heroin
