Honeymoon - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

[American Whore 51,253]

Honeymoon has legit the best production of all her albums. I don't hear any of the followings on Honeymoon: white noises, tinny/metallic/cheap piano notes, unequal voice recording AND mastering on any of its song, as well as flat and dry instrumentation. Which are all basically the very definition of the production of NFR. Honeymoon is literally her most spotless album production wise, near studio perfect sound.

 

I don’t agree. I feel like between Freak & Art Deco, it has a continuity but it ends there. That was the point it feels like the album stops being as continuous and strung together. 24 and Salvatore were both... eh, there’s a reason they didn’t use 24 for Bond. Swan Song is good but at this point looking back, Swan Song is so similar to other stuff. I just really like DLMBM out of the last 4-5 tracks on that album. Scratch that i liked The Blackest Day but it could’ve been easily fit onto UV but as much as i liked it, it’s forgettable

 

Dan Auerbach has better production skills than Rick imo

 Don't get me started on how I think HBTB and Freak are some of her worst songs in her catalog

Don't agree with everything you both said, but this I agree with.

 

But I just feel like Honeymoon, as a whole, feels more complete and much more polished than NFR.

That was the point with NFR tho, she didn’t want it to feel overproduced. I actually disliked the decision to include Doin Time on it rather than including LFA on it. Even if it was for the digital version. It sounds more like the album than Doin Time does, which seems like the most overproduced track on the record. I don’t dislike Doin Time i just dislike the decision for the album

Ehhh Agree that it was probably the intention on this album, to have a more simplistic, less atmospheric type of sound, but it fell flat a bit to me.

 

There's a huge difference between having a so called "overproduced" sound, and the the album sounding downright cheap. Honeymoon is far from overproduced, it's lush and etheral. On the other hand, NFR sounds pretty rough and uncooked, to me it feels like I'm listening to a bunch of demos.

 

I also agree about Doin' Time, I actually like the song, but it feels completely out of place on NFR.

Do we know any Honeymoon outtakes? Because I  found a rumoured Honeymoon outtake(just the title) today called "San Antonio"

Source: https://lanadelrey.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_unconfirmed_songs

 

Does anyone know more about this rumoured Outtake? I'm so curious about it bc I've never heard of any honeymoom outtakes and we know several outtakes from her other albums.

Swan Song is SO underrated, SO overlooked, SO forgotten, unforgivable treatment really, Lana stans don't deserve human rights

When this album came out, it felt like the universe was finally confirming to me that Lana really was our generation’s equivalent of Joni Mitchell. I always felt like they were on similar wavelengths during the same points of their careers but when Honeymoon came out, it was the most obvious. In many ways, Honeymoon thematically felt like the long lost sister of For the Roses. I especially felt this way when I first heard Lana recite Burnt Norton, which seems to tie the whole album together and also had always seemed so connected to Joni’s For the Roses. Sometimes it’s hard for me to listen to these albums without listening to the other because they just go together so well. I’d definitely recommend listening to For the Roses to anyone who loves Honeymoon.

Here, listening to this album for the 500th time, maybe. Few times I've felt so connected to a project, or to the voice on it. Maybe Lana gave us with Honeymoon one of the most sophisticated depictions of loneliness to ever exist.

I'm freaking out at the fact we will eventually get more Honeymoon demos.

I'm wondering if a Honeymoon demo exists as well and what it sound like. Some Hobeymoon outtakes would be amazing too!
