What annoys me the most about the HBTB video is that it's shot in this shaky hand-held camera style and that the camera just follows her all the time, with hardly any cuts or editing. I know it's probably meant to be this way, but to me this just makes it look cheap, even though it could have become an amazing video. 

HI GUYS I'm super new to lana boards but I've been a lana fan since 2012. I agree honestly i'm most excited for the promo for whatever reason

Anne's already had her moment with Lana's lips, back off 

I'll take one for the team and fill the position of the girl Lana's kissing

yall really gonna start fighting again about what number album this is      

I see this as LDR5 but don't count LDRAKA because she wasn't even REY back then. You can't buy it either, and BtD is the beginning of her current form, so btd is ldr1.
 
I count paradise as separate because it genuinely differs a lot from BTD, and has different religious themes and cutting lyrics. So Paradise is ldr2 in my eyes, even though it is just an ep.

I'm yelling so hard Lana mentioned Mazzy Star several times in interviews iirc and she at least once said she loved them this is such a cold shower hollering

Sorry I'm new. Is eclipse an industry insider or...? How does he has all this information I don't get it

you know how gays are!

This is what makes us Lana stans, we don't stick together cus we put unleaked first

So, basically this is what happened the past few days (just to update new readers):
 
1) A song called "Wild Side" was registered on ASCAP and mentioned Lana as a co-writer. The main composer was a singer called Greg Banks. We don't have reliable information concerning it.
 
2) A lot of people went to Lana's Instagram account and started commenting "Wild Side". She responded to it with a heart emoji, so people believed the song actually existed and that Lana had plans with it. Lana herself went later to her Twitter account and posted a heart emoji there (yes. only this. a FUCKING heart emoji).
 
3) Eclipse was DM'd by Lana yesterday after he @'d her on Twitter with a lyric from a song supposed to be in LDR5 ("look at your kids with your vintage music"). All we know is from some screenshots of the conversation he posted and somethings that he himself told here (so these are just rumous). He didn't tell us much because he doesn't want to trouble her work/the album release, but what we got was:
* The song "Wild Side" does not exist and Lana doesn't know anything about Greg Banks.
* There is already a schedule planned for the realase of the lead single and the album (although Eclipse didn't tell us the dates)
* He asked her about LIB but she ignored it and didn't answer.
* She asked him not to leak anything from the new album he might have.
* She told him there is a title-track song like the albums before (except AKA and Paradise).
 
That's what we got. Everything else you may read out there is untrustable or a lie (I don't know if I forgot to put any other fact on the above list, though)

i hope that she'll achieve lyrical greatness again, like she did with Paradise.

I really do think Honeymoon is her best album. I think people were just not ready for new music by Lana when it was released. I know I was still enjoying UV by the time she put it out but now I really do appreciate it the most. High By The Beach is a campy gem

I can't

This is so entirely true, it came so soon after an incredible album that was released barely a year before.
From the get go, Honeymoon was rushed and messy - she talked about a new record in the same month she released Ultraviolence, namedropped a song title, didn't give herself a large amount of time to peacefully work on this new content with the Endless Summer tour and stuff. It was like she wanted to create another album simply to act as a buffer between her and Ultraviolence just so she could be distanced from it, because her enthusiasm for UV dropped as soon as she first uttered the words 'Music to Watch Boys to'.
 
And people were not ready for new Lana content so much. Sure, people may have been thirsting for it, but it didn't feel like the right time at all - I have been craving new Lana material since February, but I always knew it just wasn't the right time.
 
I believe that if the announcement that she was working on new content came a little later, and she paced herself with the release date, Honeymoon would've been much more valued, but the fact that it came so soon after Ultraviolence doomed it from the start - people were always going to compare the two, and Honeymoon is so different and mellow compared to Ultraviolence, it could almost seem boring and lazy, when it really just conveys a different mood, like all of her albums.
 
I have begun to adopt this mindset - do not compare albums. They are all meant to be different and evoke different moods, so me believing Honeymoon was a slow, lethargic step back from Ultraviolence stopped me from realising it's easy-going, ethereal and hazy brilliance.

I think I understand what you feel, even though I feel different, almost opposite things to the "slowness" of the album. It's weird for me because, even though Born to Die was the album that made me fall in love with Lana back in 2012, now that he have its follow-ups, I look back and think that Born to Die is the one which lacked diversity (please, don't throw rocks at me). Like, besides Video Games, Carmen and Million Dollar Man, I feel like all the songs have similar beats. Like, you can seriously put the lyrics of Summertime Sadness, for example, in the instrumental of Dark Paradise and it fits incredibly perfect ('cause it's almost the same instrumental). The same beats all over the album seem like they just took her previous songs and gave them a style that was unique so they could make them similar to fit and build an album (which, let's be honest, is what happened). I say this looking back, but for years Born to Die was the album of my life and I thought Lana could never create something more perfect than that.
But with Ultraviolence I saw her ability to create intense and complex melodies with a variety of instruments, which was really impressive to me. With Honeymoon that was only enabled forward, in my opinion. I feel like the songs in HM are just flawless, it's the album where we can see (and feel) how much she's grown in the past few years, with all the bullshit whe went through with the media and how that didn't change at all her urge to create and express herself throughout her songs. I wish I could express my thoughts better, I'm dying here hahaha. I guess HM will be my favourite album in a few years, the title-track just makes me wanna cry every single time I listen to it, it's so damn sensible and divine.
After all, her albums are just getting better. And that's what makes me desperately for this new one (hope it's really soon, at least the lead single).

Noir - 1,448 

I'm not 100% sure who he is, but he has unleaked Lana songs (old and new). He comes on here to share info sometimes, but we don't know exactly how he gets these songs. He could be anyone honestly, not sure what qualifies as an industry insider. I'd guess he's more like a guy with amazing computer skills/connections/luck. Maybe we'll found out someday.

Come to the Wild sideeee
Wild sideeeeeeeeeeeeee
Wild siiiideeeeeeEEEeeEE
Dark blueeeeeeee
 

free meet and greet!!!!

Stranger than a stranger. 

don't lock this thread just please stop spamming it with hate towards each other. thanks.
 
for everyone who just tuned in: there's no real information out there, the only thing that happened was lana tweeting the heart emoji, her supposedly cowriter is making a live stream tonight tagging her in every single tweet, lana dm'd eclipse but it was a private conversation and the information will stay private.

Sorry I'm new. Is eclipse an industry insider or...? How does he has all this information I don't get it

damn lana was straight to the point, no hellos or nothing
