MY CHEST THE SIERRA MADRE

Good afternoon let's get this blue banister bread

I wonder what the chorus sounds like the verses are so beautifully catchy and her voice is just so...

numbers are the wrong way around

Day 283 with no news let’s keep up the hype ladies

I hope she goes off vocally on Arcadia

anyways Arcadia is gonna show these bitches how it's done soon

That’s how lana stays beautiful and youthful. She’s basically sucking our energy by putting us in a never-ending pre-release purgatory

Imagine hating an artist so much that you keep spreading negativity instead of just listening to something else

wouldn't be fake tracklist era without for k, pt. 3

Lana after seeing a certain overhyped 2010s fad release a universally panned Lana Del Rey tribute album

honey we’ve all collectively BEEN in our delulu stage and we can’t get out…we’re stuck in delulu purgatory

Boz is probably just trying to get a reaction out of lana fans to feel relevant

quick reminder that boz called dua lipa’s not my problem song one of the best songs of all time

Well it looks like we've all lost our connection to God

nobody noticed that the sirens in a Lorde song were sirens from NYC protests and that she thought it was nice to record the “sound of summer” Why does Lana have to be so straightforward in her lyrics

For any other artist this would be a fair point but Lana is truly an outlier when it comes to record label discourse, she’s proven her label wrong many times during her career (see the whole Ultraviolence mess) . at this point im certain that they just let her do whatever the fuck she wants . This is also justified by looking at literally any interview w Ben where he talks about her process . In recent memory i think the only time the label stepped in and said ‘no’ to her vision was the original NFR artwork , but now they let her release those MESSES of single artworks for this era .. but mostly what im tryna say is if Lana wants something to come out at a certain time or a certain way i rly think it all comes from her mind . Because her label 1. Doesn’t care enough to step in bc she costs them zero budget in promo anyway so if it fails it’s barely a loss bc they know she has a huge fan base, and 2. She’s just too fuckin stubborn to let them change her plans

September 1st? or worse, January 9th

We can all agree that Jack should have stopped producing music after Lana released Venice Bitch. that song took all the talent he had

BOZ is trolling. https://atrl.net/forums/topic/366982-lorde-solar-power-panned-mess-~30-worst-album-of-2021/page/58/?tab=comments#comment-19789671 he just took the title from this thread and put it on a Lana thread

Let’s be real they’re gearing up for something, that random October date, the YouTube thing and the update of ldrvillage. Not soon now ladies!

Agreed. This album sounds like she stumbled into Jack's studio after suffering sunstroke and rambled into a microphone about forks, crystals and her hypothetical daughter for 30 odd minutes. Big yikes. Turns out that going to Antarctica to find inspiration for a summer album is, in fact, a terrible idea.

Even a girl from New Zealand had to sing about California

This might be unpopular, but I think Jack‘s production is solid on this record. I like the atmosphere, instruments and summer-vibe. For me it‘s more about the weak lyrics (I can’t really relate) and her high(er) vocal range that doesnt match the stripped back sound

It‘s easy to keep your projects secret when they don‘t exist

MY BODY IS A MAP OF LA I STAND STRAIGHT LIKE AN ANGEL WITH A HALO MY BODY IS A MAP OF LA I STAND STRAIGHT LIKE AN ANGEL WITH A HALO MY BODY IS A MAP OF LA I STAND STRAIGHT LIKE AN ANGEL WITH A HALO MY BODY IS A MAP OF LA I STAND STRAIGHT LIKE AN ANGEL WITH A HALO MY BODY IS A MAP OF LA I STAND STRAIGHT LIKE AN ANGEL WITH A HALO

nme coming in with that 100/100 critic score

Didn't BOZ say she serves vocals? We are NOT ready!

Watch her announce next week, when I go back to work and I have no time to digest it and come here ?

MANIFESTING THAT she adds mike dean synths and an explosive outro to arcadia

I caved and listened to G**d O**s…. Y’ALL THIS IS SO GOOD!!! The beat is giving Sweet Dreams Are Made of This by the Eurythmics which is a CLASSIC if you’ve never heard that song. Charli’s singing in her higher register and she sounds so amazing omg… I only wish the song was maybe 20 seconds longer. A cute outtro like Claws had would’ve fit perfectly. I WILL be PURCHASING & STREAMING & TELLING ALL MY FRIENDS!!! This song has so much potential with the nostalgic beat & catchy post-chorus vocalizing. I’m so excited for the music video omggg.

Not this...

Arcadia please drop. Pls jump out of Lana's hard drive. Ur time has come to reign over everyone and everything

I just wish she would tease us with a still from the new video or something, im bored pls lana

same here - the best thing about her snippets is no matter how hard we imagine - it's never what everybody thinks and it blows us away

I'm so surprised by the extreme hate, people are so melodramatic. It's one thing to say the music's not for you, but some of the things people are saying... I went for a nice long walk last night and listened three times and it's so lovely! Very late 90s/early 2000s pop, mixed with Chemtrails energy, with subtle touches of 60s/70s. Not a big acid album like she originally set out to make, but the leftovers of that idea are sprinkled throughout, stoner vibes for sure. This polarizing reaction upon release will only ensure it's cult status in the future. I imagine the whole album will be a grower that gets better with each listen, but it's already great.

Sad.

COCC is a staggering achievement, so fucking slept on by the fandom, and will prob be praised and adored 10-20 years from now (i really do think QFTC and all its related shit killed every ounce of public goodwill she racked up during NFR era). esp after spending time w new lorde i am in awe of lana's ability to write the most beautiful, intricate vocal melodies, which COCC highlights so beautifully.

Pls ATRL sisters ...time to ask BoZ for SOME info pls..you guys are the chosen ones. I feel so bad to ask you guys to do this but I am going insane !!!

I honestly can't wait for Arcadia. That snippet is magic to my ears.

what's up with jack and vinyl vs streaming discrepancies? i guess he's in a quirky mood

My pussy is the lips of Hera My clit is the thunder of Zeus Arcadia is home I'm horny like 24/7

Did you guys see on insta that some website shop showed an October release date? Can't find the post anymore...

I finally got to listen to it and here are my thoughts (I didn’t hear the bonus tracks yet). She did say that the album was a mix of 2000 pop and hippie 60s-70s folk. And it becomes an excellent summer album. And the album works best when the two meet perfectly: Path, Fallen Fruit, Oceanic (very mellow and smooth, though the lyrics are a bit all over the place on first listen), Mood Ring and even Solar Power. But the album also lacks something when a song relies too much on one influence: secrets sounds like a B-side song from a Natacha Bedingfield record (only the Robyn cameo makes the song cute) and many songs mid-way feel like unfinished demos (hell, stoned sounds like a lyrical finished masterpiece in comparison). And Man with an Axe is way too heavy for a summer album… Lorde has three problems against her with this album : Her 4 year hiatus; The lyrical genius of PH and MD; She gets lost in too many themes not necessarily well developed (summer, emotional baggage, fame) that Lana developed better on Norman and Chemtrails. So not a bad album, but a 6-song EP would have been perfect.

My heart goes like boom like that for Arcadia

1000% agreed with u! jack kinda... delivered

broadcast the boom boom boom boom and make them all dance to it
