-The lyrics are poetic - in the way that makes bad poetry bad (i.e. "The poetry inside me is warm like a gun"??). Somehow too abstract, too specific, and too clunky at the same time. -I find the stuttered t's to be highly annoying, repetitive, and assinine (especially with the accompanying haha's) -Vocals sound like they were recorded while she was fully lying down in bed, and not in a dreamy, intimate way. She sounds half asleep, bored, and detached, much like me listening to the song, and often a bit off-key. Doesn't provide any beautiful Lanaisms/riffs either. -Narratively feels a bit all over the place, from paparazzi/privacy to alcoholism/dependency. Does not come together at all for me, at least not in a compelling way, nor in an original way that she hasn't explored much better in other work (even on the same album) -Instrumentally/production-wise incredibly bare, which don't get me wrong, can be great for Lana, but a major factor in NFR!s quality is the intricate, dynamic production, even when low-key (i.e. Hisab and Love song, also pretty forward ballads, have much more detailed and evolving production) -Above all, melodically incredibly uninteresting, and often ugly-sounding imo.

MAYHEM: REQUIEM Out of these, LUX #musicnotthebling

It's not. If anything, it's overrated. It's by far the worst song on NFR! and one of her worst sings ever

Actually, this was the first chestnut roasting over an open fire discovered in Ethiopia in 850 AD

I'd drop a man too if his name was McKenna

Not at all, at least for true music collectors. There are a LOT of things not available to stream anywhere, it makes it easier to adjust UGLY titles/covers/etc. and manage your library/plays as you see fit, and maintains songs in their original form (no removing of uncleared/revoked Kelis samples, "spelling is fun!" lyrics, etc.) Plus Apple Music makes it incredibly easy to integrate with streaming (not sure about Shoddify)
