She even went through a breakup and found love again, and we got Gypsy - a good moment, but we are missing Brooklyn Nights. I mean it is her work but I just don't understand why she chooses to further create a wedge between herself and actual human emotion. It doesn't need be Lana Del Rey tumblr ready, but I wish she released music (again) that had substance.

There's a fine line between substance and basic though. Dope has more substance than BN, so does Do What U Want. Her singles need to be bops - PF, BR, JD, Telephone - these are excellent pop songs about, for the most part, bullsh*t, and that's what makes them great escapes.
I'd rather she go back to the substance of TFM (Speechless, Monster, DITD, SHICD) rather than give us an album of BN tracks that could be given by pretty much any other pop girl.
he only says all the stuff he says to get a reaction off you guys, and it works 99.9% of the time
