My goodness, listening to Lana's new album is like biting down on a piece of Styrofoam. Not one redeeming quality from that trash. No catchy hooks, no progress, no experimental qualities, nothing. Just a non-stop bore-fest.
Interesting considering everything has been complety different to her debut and all the songs are experimental pop song with various influences from multiple genres
Yes ICON. And she proves exactly what I was trying to say yesterday. The wet dog look doesn't even live up to its name on her, it's poor beauty (combined with a decent & casual outfit) whereas it actually does on Beyoncé. Brings me to the realization that ICON really can pull off anything while Beyst can't.
All three of Lana's UV songs sound very different than Born To Die. Sure, her snoozy vocals are still there, but the arrangements are very different. West Coast is great. I like the ending of Shades of Cool.
Like almost everything after the first 4-6 songs could be seen as filler on some level.
Psychedelic can be soporific. Ultraviolence is still a bad song though. I'm just trying to minimize my disappointment because I'm trying not to be in a bad mood today

@rbautz go watch Hedwig & The Angry Inch right now. It's a musical about the son of a German officer in East Berlin who has a botched sex change operation to escape to America with an American officer, who leaves ha to prostitute in Kansas City, where she falls in love with a teenage boy who eventually steals her music and ideas for his persona and becomes a superstar.
It is also about philosophy and the greatest rock musical of all time.
