Even though zero part of me expects a surprise release tomorrow, it would be really nice if it did happen because I move tomorrow and would love to explore my new neighbourhood with the album this weekend. Please and thank you Lana. 

I can't imagine there being issues with the label regarding the album. Even if they don't love it, they must know what working with Lana is like by now, and the music that's been released so far is the most critically acclaimed of her career, regardless of if they personally like it or not.

I love Lust for Life.
 
Fight me.

THERE IS A RANKED FORUM ON LB. Stop spamming the pre-release thread every fucking few days with the same recycled spam. If you don't have anything new to post on this forum, newsflash you don't have to post anything here. Lanaboards more like SpamBoards

For sure, I totally agree that she should say probably something about soon, and I even moreso agree that her managers acted rudely and immaturely today. 
 
That being said, just because modern fame works this way doesn't mean it's right. Lana is an extremely talent singer/songwriter who shouldn't have to stop releasing beautiful music just because she doesn't want to play by the rules of modern fame. The way we treat celebrities can be sickening. Fans of Britney and Amy were atrocious, and it's a sad reflection of our society that it's normal for some people. 
 
At the end of the day, we really don't know anything about Lana and that's how she wants it. One thing we do know, is that she has alluded to depression and other mental health struggles she faces many many times. So I think before we are all so quick to judge her and attack her for not giving us the updates we want, we should step back and let her do things at her pace. At the end of the day, she is human and she owes us nothing. She releases music much more quickly than many artists do, and I do think she genuinely does care about her art and the people that love it. I also believe that she probably gets pretty overwhelmed by it all and sometimes the easier thing to do is retreat and stay silent.

Truth. This board gets disturbing. I agree that her managers are being unprofessional and Lana should say something soon, but the level of entitlement and melodrama here is horrifying. If I was Lana, I probably wouldn't want to give us anything either.

Yeah I don't think it's right. Modern fame truly reflects our "chew it up and spit it out as quickly as possible" mentality. Art should be respected and treated accordingly.
 
I also don't agree with promotion and such. I love interviews, don't get me wrong if you have something to say, say it. But art should speak for itself. When artists go with the whole promotion thing, as 99% do now, it just makes it more of a product than art.
 
As with how fame works now, I think the blame should be split in quarters. 1/4 on the artists themselves for playing into it, 1/4 on the rabid fans, and 2/4 on the record label executives, concert promoters, managers, etc. The music industry, and the industry in general, really dictated how everything works. They want you to be obsessed so you always buy new things. It's a money making machine to them.
 
I think it also has to do with our fast food, fast cars, fast computers mindset. I really miss the joy of getting two dvds at the video store and watching the shit out of them. It was appreciated more. Now you can watch 1000 on Netflix and it means nothing because we've become accustomed to it.
 
The world needs change. As for the music industry, I would totally love a music revolution where artists go against the system, against Spotify, against the labels, the radio play, the charts, etc. Let the art speak for itself, ya know? But would they do it? I'm not sure. I don't think many necessarily want change. Most are happy with the money they're making.
 
But yeah, that's just my two cents.

After today's whole mess with Ben vs me, I've decided I'm going to take longer when explaining myself and try to keep a nurturing and tough love attitude that a mother would because I tend to be condescending and irrational when speaking too passionately on a subject and it usually taints my argument from actually having any value or meaning. We love growth!
