I think religion gets a little repetitive by the end, but when she sings "it never was about the money or the drugs, for you there's only love," it makes me feel so sad i could cry. I guess I would say that maybe the songs on Honeymoon aren't as easy to listen to as her previous songs, they are, in some way i can't exactly put my finger on, so much more emotionally affecting. that's why i find it so weird that so many reviewers described honeymoon as an album about emotional numbness. that's just not the feeling i get from listening to it at all.

I feel the same way. Even though Ultraviolence was a darker album as a whole, for the most part, I think she was fucking around with people's perceptions of her and just embodying the persona of a gold digger, a mistress, sleeping around to get to the top, etc. The emotional songs on Honeymoon--The Blackest Day, God Knows I Tried, Terrence Loves You--feel more earnest and you feel that she's singing about her real heartbreak.

Am I the only one that thinks the whole TMZ article about her buying that house to hide out from fans was part of the marketing for the HBTB video? Like they prefaced it by leaking that she bought that house (that isn't her actual house, at least not anymore), and then in the video she's being watched and followed? I feel like it was very strategically done to add to the story that HBTB illustrates.
