Mamadas is mexican slang for "bullshit" 

 

 

 

Um, what? 

they are all incredible songs that i love so dearly but that's why they're all stars, i knew brooklyn baby was gonna be called out but these are right at the cusp, we have to keep that hall of fame special and valuable and lbr Brooklyn Baby vs. Shades of God, Old Money, and West Coast? it doesn't stack all the way up but it's still one of her best and thats an undeniable fact

I just made a huge post explaining why there's no way Get Free could be considered her magnum opus but I know you gays will tear into me if I post it

magnum opus' discussion: i think her best songs don't fully line up with my favorites, i love TNC but it's really far from her best- however the potential for a more acoustic southwesterny retro sound is t h e r e. here's my opinion on her BEST OF THE BEST aka some of her most iconic and beloved songs, with great writing, emotion, vocals, melodies, and acclaim from fans n critics alike. Like i said my personal opinions compared to the songs listed are very different, but i recognize a good song when i see one, i see taste and i hear it- and i hope you all can too.

 

 

without further ado, HA MAGNUM OPUS'

 

-Ride

-Old Money

-Shades Of Cool

-West Coast

-Video Games

-Off To The Races

-Cruel World

-Born To Die

-The Blackest Day

-Love

-Cherry

-Heroin

-Get Free

-Yosemite (let's be real with how much she loved this track and obviously spent time and warmth on it, putting my annoyance aside everybody knows it has a huge chance of being with some of her best songs)

 

for me this shows that while LfL may not be my favorite album as a whole, it has incredible diamonds in a usual rough.

 

songs that are mentionable, but not fully there- they're the all stars cast, every one of them loved for good reason but not good enough to be considered her greatest all around

 

-Bel Air

-Brooklyn Baby

-Change

-Terrence Loves Me

-Blue Jeans

-Body Electric

-Ultraviolence

-13 Beaches

-Best American Record (if it got what it deserved )

-Honeymoon

Not Cherry and Heroin being considered magnum opuses while a song like Black Beauty is paid dust despite having some of Lana's most poetically brilliant lyrics

Look all, Lana's musical magnum opus is all over the place, there's like 2 or 3 on EACH ALBUM, but her style magnum opus was the Born To Die Paradise era.

Everybody knows it, it's a fact, kiss kiss

Brooklyn Bible deserves to be up there. The lyrics (specially the second verse), the drums and the soft-happy guitar make it one of the best songs she has ever included on a record. Also the damn bridge. Now some of you may see some lines as "cringey" but they're very Lana, very representative of what she does.

Black Beauty is another masterpiece But dragging Heroin is unnecessary especially when it's better than Black Beauty Also I think the demo is better

I love Get Free but I think it's overrated! The chorus is terrible, it relies too heavily on Radiohead's Creep and more than a fifth of the song is a lame attempt at beach/ocean noises

 

Edit: plus her vocals are terrible in the chorus (besides the out of the black into the blue part)

No way. Maybe in aesthetic but when it comes to music and atmosphere the Honeymoon era gets the spot and becomes the best thing that Lana has written during all her music career a.k.a. her MAGNUS OPUS.

im not even gonna lie i forgot black beauty was on UV because i really only ever pay love to the demo... but you're 200% right it is on that list

but the chorus melody is like the best thing I've ever heard! And her voice sounds so amazing throughout the song especially all those backing vocals and she sounds so amazing on the chorus too with heavy reverb backed with a lush instrumental. The beach sounds at the end are so fitting with her wanting to go out of the black into the blue.

[SlowGinFizzzz 15,309]

imagine being so iconic that you release a masterpiece and then RIGHT AFTER you write another masterpiece 

Well technically it was her fourth masterpiece in a row. We truly stan a legend!

Meanwhile, I'm waiting for LDR 6 and hoping for a rock-grunge album with a Courtney Love duet & a studio-recorded cover of 'Heart Shaped Box'...

I'm kinda tired of the folk-ish-demo-ish sound she's making since HM (no shade toward LFL it's a cute album with some of her best songs)
