Unpopular Lana Opinions

[Dark Angel 203,585]

swan song is amazing & it should've been the real closer for honeymoon

[Fingertips 72,051]

Yeah, after having some weeks with Blue Banisters, I must say that it went down in my rankings and I certainly enjoy Chemtrails Over the Country Club more as an album. White Dress, the title track, Not All Who Wander...

On the subject of Swan Song, I honestly think it's one of the best songs Lana's ever made. I will never understand why it's so disliked

Spoiler

I really need to hear the TLSP original demo. I adore the California we have, but I have a feeling we lost an alt-rock masterpiece to the minimalistic whims of Jack Antonoff. I imagine it sounded similar to the Thunder Demo. 

jack doesn't even have any credits on the song what

i think lana can and will top NFR! someday (and yes some people believe she has and blablabla but i'm talking critical and GP reception, the general consensus atm is that it's her best album)

Idk if this is unpopular but Valley Of The Dolls is one of her best unreleased songs, she put crack in that concept demo.

valley of the dolls, serene queen, & on & on & on are so amazing, it makes me want the 120+ lust for life era concept demos even more

Miles Kane deserves to be credited on Dealer. It's confusing that his name is not mentioned on the Youtube or Spotify version.

[bluechemtrails 27,338]

The official website is a disaster. They still haven't managed to link the Blue Banisters video and the other two Arcadia videos.

idk if unpopular lol but i desperately need a studio version of hey blue baby so i can replace bus on cocc with it the continuity between hey blue baby and thunder... "you're making me blue, just do what you do"

i think she just didn't want any feat.s on the album but i agree. i'm surprised he/his ppl didn't demand it? he's like the majority of the song lol. 

maybe she'll end up adding it later like N*kk* L*n* on Br**k*ng Up Sl*wly

The entire existence of Lana Del Rey village is a disaster. The site takes forever to load if your internet isn't extremely fast, it only shows post COCC stuff and as soon as you enter a room you have a button that takes you to the regular store. For the last part, isn't it better if there were multiple buttons and every one is for a different era. 

Also, printing a pic on a glass that has free space in certain areas can be damaged if you're using a dishwasher.

Oh my mistake it just says Zach on Spotify, still don’t think it sounds ‘’minimalistic’ compared to the other Jack songs though

the older i get the more i realize lana was never even a sad girl. she barely has any 'sad songs'

That label always confused me because I read early interviews from 2011 and even EARLIER interviews from 2008/2009 and she even talks about how she writes about the way things used to be during happy times. It’s just thoughtful — and I think that speaks volumes about the status quo’s conflation of reflection and sadness. She was absolutely right when she identified how the world loves to project onto you to try and reconcile what they lack.

can't get over how different chemtrails and BB production is.

but i def have a new appreciation for the cleanliness of chemtrails now, if it was a little boring at times. bb is not at all boring in production but occasionally to a fault. at times instead of being engaging for it's experimentally it's just like unlistenable tbh. i think the main perk of jack being her producer was that he pushed her to do multiple takes and made something legit professional. bb really does, in retrospect, sound like a demo album. incredible demos to be fair, but i'm disappointed in the lack of vocal continuity and production errors. i know she likes to do one-takes and i love her for being authentic but i don't think that commitment to authenticity necessarily needs to make the music suffer
