I want Lana to go back to making her own videos, i want VG teas

I need her to do one for Heroin  

[Flowerbomb 65,593]

Why exactly is this place kinda dead? Is it because everyone is back at school? (sloppy reason today since it's Saturday) Did the hype die when the Best American Record WM's video came out? Not only it's dead, but there's a lot of slander for Lust For Life here recently. Like instead of growing on some people it... shrank? I mean, people are starting to look more into the bad things than the good things in the album. Is this common in every era? Anyway, I'm glad that we all still agree that Heroin and Cherry are two of the best (or the best) and that Coachella is a mess lmao. But poor White Mustang, it doesn't deserve the recent hate that it's getting.

I can't speak for everyone else, but I think this era as a whole has been really anti-climatic. Not to say that LFL is a terrible album, but it's not exactly what I was expecting. I do feel as if Lana could have done better. I think in a way maybe we're all comparing LFL too closely to her previous work, which tbh we shouldn't really do.

Maybe some of us are a little salty because Lana chose Roachella over Yosemite and it still stings...

Maybe there were one too many collabs...

Maybe the videos weren't as great as they could have been...

Many reasons lol

[Terrence Loves Me 72,666]

I feel like every era get's judged like this though, many people have said this before but once LDR6 is released ya'll will be worshipping LFL and saying her new record sucks lmao

As someone else said (I don't know if it was in this thread), we know waaay too much to be happy about the decisions made. She also took too many directions, this is her "Happy"/hippie/witchy/sci-fi album with trappy/acoustic/sexy songs. But I actually like that about LFL, it has variety. This really is aimed at the fans, and the whole fanbase has different musical taste so it's like she included songs for everyone which is cool. Anyway, I'm not saying anything new lmao

So this happened with Honeymoon? Like everyone was very happy at the beginning and after two months of the release everyone was like "omggg this is a snooze fest!1"? (seems realistic but I can't know since I wasn't even lurking here when HM came out)

[Peachycream 3,647]

lazy queen can't sign some fucking CDs is what it is.

The proof is in the pudding. She's clearly about to take a little snooze sesh mid sign.

[Off To The Races 2010 demo pls 19,335]

I can't believe the instrumental aren't still leaked

 

 

I need Cherry, Get Free, Love, 13 Beaches, GBA so bad

Cherry instrumental must be such a bop by itself. What about TNC's instrumental? It must be relaxing af.

[Stargirl 13,351]

maybe it's bc the site is buggy af and gringos started clases. (kinda lame bc we, strong Mexicans people, started class one month ago)

I, gringo from the state of Gringohio, started classes a month ago as well. Already had my first exam, even 

[cheaptrailertrashglm 3,511]

Sometimes we stans can be worse than any haters lol

you're not lying....some are REALLY mean.............i just wonder....

 

I want Lana to go back to making her own videos, i want VG teas

i wonder why she doesn't, tbh? I thought she had fun doing it?

it's literally how it goes.

people still hate it thought for whatever reason

 

they have no taste

LOL. i thought those were UK?

[Daisy Hearted 1,722]

he's also the one who made gods and monsters with Lana which had amazing production, and cherry is basically gods and monsters pt 2 but with a different subject in the lyrics. I hope he's the main producer for ldr6

Omg I didn't know! That's why I was so drawn to Cherry!!!!!

Petition for Lana to have him as the main producer.

oops im sorry you're a strong, independent, murican!

[Cloudbusting 5,382]

So if she releases Best American Record one day, it would be with that title and not "Architecture", right? 

[Stargirl 13,351]

oops im sorry you're a strong, independent, murican!

only me. im the only one who actually went to class. figures. total nerd. loser. shove me in a locker daddy

 

edit: everyone else was eating burgers

[TROPICUM 6,407]

Y'all thnk LFL video will reach 100M views this year?

 

i think it'll take like 4 yrs. If something, Love will at march - october of 2018

[Wynwood 19,967]

lana is the laziest person I've ever seen. all she does is drink coffee and run on a treadmill in her million dollar house, the woman can't give a little extra energy so that her eras don't turn out like crap?

[Say Yes to Heaven 27,455]

Very popular opinion but I fucking need Lana to do a whole song next era with Lizzy vocals ala Get Free backing vocals *Out of the Black, Into the Blue*

and speaking of Get Free, I don't know if anyone has really realized just how much the chorus of Get Free is a relic taken directly from the 1960s / 1970s. That could've been in a Beatles song completely intact and it would still fit them... That kind of chorus was something I knew deep in my heart that I wanted and needed from Lana and right when I first heard it, I was completely blown away. Making this one of my favorite Lana songs + Lizzy grant vocals? Heaven.

[Beautiful Loser 48,739]

I dunno but I feel like this place has become much more negative since the WM video. I love Lana and don't think she deserves to constantly being called lazy.

But yeah, it feels wrong to sell signed CD's and vinyls before they even are signed. That's just so wrong by the merch management staff. I hope my (unsigned) vinyl will arrive within a reasonable time.
