i only think this is true for btd. i think lana was really happy with the outcome of uv.

I have said it many times before but think she's a good actress and it's a fucking crime that Tropico wasn't nominated at the Oscars for best short-movie or something like that.

 

Tropico definitely deserved more attention and it's crazy that it's still great piece of art after 10 years. Some movies do not age well even before it becomes one year old but Tropico definitely aged well like a fine wine.

 

She deserves to be in a major movie in a major role but I feel like she doesn't want it since she said that she's too shy to be an actress. But even her acting in Ride and Candy Necklace was great too.

NFR-Violets-COTCC was the best run in her discography. 

[Surf Noir 189,987]

may jailer-2007-AKA was the best run in her discography/musical career

I'm not a local but her most iconic run is

BTD-UV-HM

The quintessential Lana Del Rey

I think she was happy with UV… but there was a lot of « fuck this shit » energy while creating it. And we know that Dan and her « fought » while creating the album, so maybe if she had only her way, maybe Uv wouldn’t be as much guitar-driven as it is now…

DYKTTATUOB is better than the 3 albums preceding it combined

[blackenedrussianpoetry 1,855]

Would you/people agree if I commented or said that ocean blvd is a cinematic album in sound? Or at least- the most from the last 3 (starting w norman)

[Embach 22,235]

i don't really give a fuck about album (and single) cover arts  like after all it's just a photo, more important to me is the music, a photo doesn't really affect it. like if it's great it's iconic but if you don't like the photo it's not the end of the world, why obsess over it?!?!?

all tlsp sessions are just so average and overrated

Ultra is fathomable as the outcome was brilliant- but born to die… Emile Haynie what have you done. Diet mt dew demo, nationa anthem demo, dark Paradise demo, what makes us girls demo, lolita lucky ones demo… emile… count your days my dude! If i was Lanz- i would be angered too..!

[Embach 22,235]

Imo BTD era demos are overrated af 

 

The only demo I would listen to from that era is maybe Diet Mountain Dew but that's it

Indeed!

but maybe this is why I’m not sure if we should even realistically wish for more guitar-heavy albums in the future, since it was almost like a « once-in-a-lifetime » thing  Not that I am against it at all, but it seems less and less likely over time

[bluechemtrails 23,182]

BTD demos are so chilling, I like some of them more than the released songs

Mariner's Apartment Complex sounds the most similar to contemporary christian music, or at least what good cont. christian music might actually/ aims to sound like.
