The Greatest

what is fair? she doesn't owe you anything that being said, it is dumb for her, and I don't understand why she's doing this

thanks that's so nice! I need the luck it's worth 30% of my grade

ME i have an exam tomorrow

I think they're probably weighing the pros and cons of what they'll make with a pre-order versus what they'll lose if the whole thing leaks early. They will probably meet somewhere in the middle and do a preorder close to the release date. I bet that's why she kind of purposefully put the names tomorrow never came and yosemite out there and leaked the stevie nicks collab out there- to create some hype and interest without compromising the whole thing

lol half the pictures of her recently she's holding a baby maybe she's going into politics

lol their source was Jorge that's a good enough excuse

Back before I went on Lana boards I didn't notice when she did something annoying or wasn't giving us anything cause no one pointed it out to me lol ignorance is bliss but I can't leave this is where I get my tea

every time solve et coagula makes it on a fake tracklist I just assume it's fake, but also lucid dream sounds really dumb

new leaked lana lyrics

It's obnoxious that the default here is to be sarcastic when someone asks a question. It happens all the time because of the anonymity. I get it we're all on edge but that question wasn't that obvious (I know an artist can put out an album without a preorder but don't know how often it happens, outside of completely surprise releases) and it isn't completely uncalled for them to ask not to be treated that way. You don't NEED to be snarky with someone

hard pass

Wouldn't the preorder only come after she announces it though?

remember back in the day when you heard shades of cool for the first time and you were like "woah"? at least we have that to look forward to again even if she releases the new song and forgets about it 30 min later

My question is though-- why didn't universal force her to promote? like in the very least they could go on her social media accounts and push the song. How could she have already known it was going to flop then? And if we don't get a preorder tomorrow, then I will become worried

ooh i misread what you said

Love will be on the album, the press release that came out with Love mentioned it was the first single from the album

I'm not saying nothing's coming, something probably is coming but that doesn't mean he isn't fake

he's been saying that like every day and making up shitty excuses for why that didn't happen, and he posted that shitty fake tracklist. He's fucking creepy and a shitty lana impersonator

Hoping we get the tracklist in the next ten minutes and preorder tomorrow

I agree, and I'm getting a little tired of waiting too, but I have sympathy for her because Love was supposed to come a lot later. I wonder what the timeline of releases would have been if that never happened. That being said, we're obviously on schedule now and she still is really lacking in promo. Even LFL could have been a lot bigger song than it was but she posted it and was never heard from again

I totally agree with your evaluation, and it's interesting hearing lyrics broken down in this way-- by my original post, I meant to imply that we would have a problem if there wasn't a range in lyrical complexity, which I guess would be lyrical and anti-lyrical songs. It was more of a pessimistic view of things, since I'm sure she will write a brilliant album, but while I do find some of the more recent songwriting (melodies) to be particularly beautiful, the lyrics of her later work is not as strong for me.

It's weird because even if she didn't want the tracklist to come out so that songs don't leak she could still put out the date and preorder with "track 1" whatever and lust for life and love as instant downloads

oh shit

I'm not one of those people who likes the idea of her reusing old songs because I would rather have her use fresh material, but sometimes I'm baffled at what makes it on a new album when she has stuff like pin up galore or pawn shop blues out there that are literal masterpieces. I think she might need to slow down and get back to writing how she wrote when no one was paying attention because that's really when she gets out her best material. I'm worried an album catered to her fans might be pandering and unoriginal (I like the first two songs, so this isn't meant to by hyper critical but if the whole album sounds like Lust for Life without range of lyrical complexity from the more simple LFL to something more complicated we're going to have a problem)

lol i mean we were just talking about the seasons of album releases I was just going off of the literal season
