Honeymoon - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

Terrence Loves You is her magnum opus of musical nyquill, that song is such a strong sedative, the lyrics are not even great 

Tea. I don't get why Lana said it's her favorite song from the album. She's one of those artists I don't trust when it comes to their opinions on their own music.  When she says she's done her best work on a track, I think it's her worst, and when she doesn't seem to care about a particular song, I think it's her best.

A little off topic, but what did Lana say her favorite songs from her other albums were

I'm not sure about BTD and Paradise, but she did say her favorite track from Ultraviolence, hands down, is Cruel World.

[Thunder Revenant]

I'm not sure about BTD and Paradise, but she did say her favorite track from Ultraviolence, hands down, is Cruel World.

Didn't she say Bel Air and Summertime Sadness? Not sure anymore though ...

[luckyonewithoutyou]

Cruel World and Summertime Sadness are pretty good, I don't know if I'd say the best..

 

Terrence and Bel Air...I'd have to agree to disagree

[Limelight]

I still often listen to HM, TBD, Salvatore, and BN+Religion. I do have to be in the mood to listen to the other songs though (I've kind of been taking a break from Lana so that also explains it)

[American Money]

I think it's impossible to determine whether or not her magnum opus has been written yet. We won't be able to determine her magnum opus until she has stopped releasing music or has passed away.

[SuperMegaStan]

all those TLY trashing in the previous posts 

 

i sing at least once when i take a bath

If I recall correctly (apologies if I don't though) as Electrib Body said I also can remember her saying it's Summertime Sadness, Bel Air, and Cruel World (I remember pretty clearly cause these are my least fav from all albums rip but I don't remember where I saw it) but then I also heard about her favourite being Video Games so I'm not sure

[Coney Island King]

video games is her magnum opus lets be real

[leaked_version]

it really is and it's funny how no other song of hers sounds like it.

[leaked_version]

Eh, it doesn't. Besides, Afraid is irrelevant. Besides, it never made an album. 

[essiductonto]

Doesn't Old Money kind of sound like Video Games? (I mean besides the obvious Romeo and Juliet theme melody). I always figured it was on Ultraviolence because her record company insisted on having a song like Video Games

[FFXSoul91]

Uhhh... If anything is her magnum opus, it's West Coast.

[slang]

I think the magnum opus idea confuses the favorite song idea or possibly the perfect song idea, which I guess is a song with some kind of powerful message that is executed (nearly?) flawlessly. But there's no reason only one song can be best, the most perfect, or the most favorited (even within the same person). I don't have a (logical) problem with their being multiple "best" or "favorited" given "ties" are always possible. However, you could rank different songwriters in terms of the number of "magnum opuses" they appear to have, which is typically how it's done with composers. This is the primary reason I've often whined (or been depressed about) LDR's suppression of the AKA album and her non-action on other unreleased stuff, as it depresses me that her stature is not accurately portrayed (i.e., for me, there are magnum opuses there, too, though I recognize people differ in their opinions on this).

I'm american sweatheart trying to get away  (faster a bit) but they are a bit alike imo lol 

 

Swinging in the backyard pull up if ur fast car 

[theeternalstars]

thus isn't the magnum opus thread

[brooklynbaby91]

Off to the Races and West Coast are tied for magnum opus status.

[Wynwood]

her magnum opus is obviously the whole Ultraviolence album (minus The Other Woman and Guns and Roses)
