The stans who shamed others for listening to the album a week early and are now looking at their vinyl that arrived 1 day early in the corner of their bedrooms

Is anyone else slightly put-off by the nature of these reviews? Like yes, it’s amazing that Chemtrails is meeting such critical acclaim, but I really dislike how all these major publications feel the need to discredit her past albums in order to make the case for this one. Good journalism doesn’t need to bash something else in order to make the argument for whatever it is that is being written about. Appreciating Lana’s growth is one thing, but dismissing past albums as “confused” seems like a cop-out.

there's... only... 24... hooooooursssss in this thread

Hey all, just wanted to give you guys a little update on what will be happening with this thread! As you can see, our page count has increased significantly. I'm sure you all know that there was a little mishap with our Chemtrails Over the Country Club Pre-Release Thread a week ago, where a mod accidentally merged it with our Lana Discussion Thread. Our mod team has been hard at work manually going through the 4400 page Frankenstein Thread to move the posts back into their respective threads. Within the past week, our team has been able to separate 932 out of the 4000 pages back into the Chemtrails Thread, and those pages have now been merged back into this one. We decided it was in best interest to move what we have completed thus far into our Temporary Thread now as Chemtrails will be released later tonight, and that way users can find some of their album reaction posts that they may like to copy into our Post-Release Thread once it's created. Of course, we still have ~3500 pages more to sort through, but some is better than nothing for right now. Even after this Pre-Release Thread is locked and the Post-Release Thread is created, we will continue separating posts so that way our COTCC Pre-Release Thread will finally be able to redeem itself in all its glory, along with our Random Lana Discussion Thread. That being said, I'd like to announce to you all that the Chemtrails Over the Country Club - Post-Release Thread will be arriving to you all at MIDNIGHT EDT (about 18 hours from now.) Furthermore, as talked about in Lana's recent interview with MusicWeek, there is indication that another album is in the works, so therefore a LDR8 Pre-Pre-Release Thread will also be created at midnight EDT. Additionally, the remaining COTCC lyric threads will also be created at midnight EDT. So please enjoy your final hours of the COTCC Pre-Release, and I look forward to beginning the Post-Release Era with you all later tonight! Sending all my love! xx

when i see that the album is getting critical acclaim from the reviews: when i see that all of her past work is being discredited in the reviews:

not me spamming twitter with LANA IS COMING like a 14 yo

got my black dress on tonight / pre-release funeral on the lana del rey forum site but along with a funeral of an old thread, a new thread is born and im all rejuvenated & freshened up & full of energy for a new pre-release era i'm not tired at all im not tired at all not tired at all at all

I heard Lana is promoting her upcoming album Born to Die

Am I the only one thinking that the picture Chuck just posted with Lana, Zella Day, Weyes Blood, Charlie, Nikki Lane, Chuck and a few other people I don't know should have been the album cover? Like it really is close to the album cover that we got but like... WAY BETTER Edit: did she perhaps choose this as the album cover but scrapped it because everyone's Caucasian (or so it seems)?

chuck said that white dress is her new pawn shop

It will be interesting to see which direction Lana goes for her next album. I can imagine Lana's frustration and irritation after hearing her previous albums described as nothing but "costumes". That must fucking hurt, and we know how sensitive Lana is. Although she is probably extremely proud of the positive reviews for NFR and COCC, i expect she is quietly hating them for it too. She even made a slight dig at Norman by saying "I knew they'd love it, because there's nothing to dislike" or something like that, labeling it as just "cool". It feels like she is basically calling it plain and admitting that she was holding back. Now that she has the critics by the balls, it would be iconic for her to make her next album a lot more edgy, daring and controversial again, the way she was before Lust for Life. I wonder if she is curious to witness the outcome if she went back down the Born to Die, AKA, UV route again. I can imagine she must be. Would the critics and general public take her seriously once and for all, in her truest form, making the art that she loves? Or will they go back to calling her names again? I hope she goes back to being a little more crazy and spontaneous after this record. Her first three albums were so vastly different. Born to Die was totally original, then she confused everyone by suddenly turning to a grungier rock album, and then we got this 1940s, lynchy, jazzy record. It was all so iconic. For me it's BTD/UV/HM (stories of her past) - and then the second half of her story is LFL/NFR/COCC (stories of her future/who she wants to become) So i hope she enters a full new phase now with something totally and completely fresh

well i just found out my admissions result to a college i'm pretty interested in attending! and i knew someone that regardless of what happened, cocc would fit the mood but i got in! this has been such a nice day, can't wait until midnight edit: should i wait for the post release thread for my 3000th post?

Lana Del Rey – ‘Chemtrails Over The Country Club’ review: perfect alt-pop (nme.com) NME 100/100

Shock of my life...

"Lana Del Rey (her real name is Susannah Grant)"

Today is the day ladies we're finally getting rid of the spoiler tags

im cringing that author reviewed for free as if it was her song, and even compared it to joni, not realizing it was a cover of a joni song this is why critics are meaningless, even if they do give good reviews

my moon's in leo my label is clown

Why is everything associated with this woman UTTER CHAOS

I just know that Lana’s going to be mad at the times if she reads their review and the line about her trying on several costumes before finding herself.

My vinyl came omg it’s amazing

We at lanaboards review reviews

YOU GUYS SHES BACK FROM HER HIATUS AND SHE’S SURPRISE RELEASING AN ALBUM TONIGHT!!!!! I LOVE HER

Omg we going acclaim?

the acclaim i need someone to say fuck it and give it a 100 i feel like the reviews will be consistently good but with a lot less eye popping scores like norman got

the album will be out tonight... we can FINALLY say... that we've FINALLY... OFFICIALLY... WON! also, we'll be starting the pre-release era for ldr8 tonight... the spirit of chaos & delusion is forever...

omg I put on the radio and they're playing COCC again

Omg, this is a great idea why didn't I think of asking her before like I think she would actually sign up BUT y'all gotta be nice to her, she's the biggest LFL Stan

Not my grandmother coming into my room and saying who died when i was listening let me love you like a woman

i dont know how anyone thinks interscope will ever drop lana because on her most experimental album yet with the least promo she's ever done she's still getting rave reviews and has doubled her pre-orders from NFR! era like they're never dropping this girl

Please don’t share fake leak videos in here, you’re making me nervous.

the way i'm getting both cocc and cock this week after craving the two so much for the past few weeks, i really won a true blessing

Not LDR Village coming for LanaBoards... x

I know, right? As she should be! I would be too! imagine being in the game for 10+ years, putting your life and love out there more vulnerably than what is considered socially acceptable in the music industry, being ridiculed for it for 7 years, and then finally be respected for your work only to later have it discredited as a mere “costume”. I feel like reviewers say tactless s*** like this all the time in efforts to sound intelligent or to have what they would consider a “thought-provoking opinion” when in reality it reads as pretentious and rude. ;(

DEAD. I WISH BITCH credit: numinxusart

F that shit, I ain't gonna wake up at 5 or 6 just to listen to an album lol. I'm gonna wait until I'm properly awake. It sucks though, I really like just sitting for myself and listen to a new album in the middle of the night.

I'll stop now

if only they'd accidentally upload dealer what a shame that would be

just poured my first glass of pink champagne.. let's party girlies!!!

is this the haim sisters

the first positive article posted about her to twitter in 11 (?) months we won besties

I fucking hate The Guardian. They gave NFR 3 stars and I remember fuming. I actually wrote a response in their comments politely collecting Alexis. If they don't give her 4 stars this time I'm going to go postal.

Not Barrie posting a chemtrail video... Doing more promo than Lana herself

My black vinyl just arrived! First time this has happened with a Lana album! I’m gonna give it a listen and I’ll be back in a bit with some opinions. I’ve never gotten to hear a Lana album first on vinyl before digitally, so this is gonna be history!

The various languages and the diversity of this fanbase is incredible, I’m living for this

im pissed cuz i already planned the day for a midnight releaseive always listened to the new albums at midnight in my bed in a complete darkness
