LDR5 - Pre-Release Thread

Recommended Posts

My problem with Love / BAR is that it sounds too manufactured.
I mean, I loved Ultraviolence & Honeymoon because they were independant from what people was waiting. It was popy but not easy, it was atypical.
But those two new songs are like syntheses of BTD, PARADISE, UV + HONEYMOON, for some kind of a fan-service strategy. And I deeply don't like it.
As @Constentine says, Emile's samples are too much. It was cool on BTD / P because it was new, but so much years later, it don't feels like before. It's just some kind of uninspired deja-vu gadget.
 

And in this two new songs I can't aim to localize the sounds. All the previous records was really warm, like seaside, west coasts hot vibes, or some times classy east coast vibes too. But here, it's not warm, but it's not cold. It's just some radio thing. And I can't see anything retro. I mean, a lot of people are saying there's something retro in "Love", but sorry, listen to real retro music, and there's nothing retro in Love. It just sounds like radio versions of LDR songs. Lyrics are really great, and I'm sure the songs could be great as f, but the actual production is really weak, uninspired and unrisky.

 

I understood why Born To Die was that pop, and heavily produced, but in 2017 I don't understand that whole stepback thing.

BTD and Paradise was uniques at their respective times. We don't need a third segment today.

Hope the whole album will not be like that.

Unpopular opinion 2: the production of Love renders the track memorable

(Although I'd prefer Auerbach style)

Therefore if she always sticks with the same bland songwriters, she needs to go back to this sound

Totally agree, i don't know why at this point of her career, instead of growing and experimenting new sounds she's pleasing all the teenagers who want to return at BTD era.
