I didn’t like the cover at first bc it was not like I was expecting, but now I’m getting used to it and I love it. Something similar happened with Honeymoon cover for me. At first, I was expecting something like ultraviolence, but then I understood that that was NOT ultrabiolence, that was Honeymoon, another album, another concept

anyway when you hold that vinyl book in your hand and feel the weight, and run your fingertip over the title on the spine, and when you put your palm flat on the cover and turn it over, and feel its weight in a different way, and get that shiver of excitement when you look at the tracklist before sliding disc one out, seeing the rings of black and the thinner rings of empty space, maybe then you'll feel peace and begin to heal 

im tired of people saying (mainly on twitter idk about here) "its not that deep" to the cover... it literally IS that deep. maybe it doesnt have per say a political message or whatever behind it. but its deep in the sense how i perceive it as she does NOT want it to be taken seriously. i mean really? neon nails and big hoops in? shes obviously going for such an ironic collage of ideas for this cover and thats what people dont understand. "its so ugly"... i think that might be the point? personally i dont think its beautiful which is NOT a bad thing because im positive thats what she was going for. its so weird, random and confusing , i LOve it.
 
it is such a thought out fucking cover its crazy. you can never read into any of her other covers like this and thats why it stands out immensely 

I'm usually with the consensus on here, but I have to disagree. The cover suits the lyrics. The comic book font + neon outfit + American flag is a summary of her and this album. She's always been enamored with the past, she's all about Americana, and her kitsch taste (which makes us all cringe at times) is right in your face. The album will literally end with a song with the lyrics...
 
Smiling for miles in pink dresses and high heels on white yachts,
But I'm not, baby, I'm not. No I'm not that, I'm not.
 
Hello, it's the most famous woman you know on the iPad
Calling from beyond the grave, I just wanna say, "Hi, Dad."
 
Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have
But I have it. Yeah, I have it.
 
She's literally reaching out her hand just as she mentions it in Mariners Apartment Complex (I thought that was obvious lmao), Cali's in the background because for some reason this woman is obsessed with the landscape/history of it. Venice Bitch was inspired by it and she included her cover of Doin' Time which mentions Long Beach? The cities are on fire because you know this woman is into chaos and she's corny like that. The sky's painted and I think that's obvious what that refers to. It's a collage of what this album is about and I love it. I'm also starting to notice the cohesion in the lyrics relistening to the songs and snippets...
 
You fucked me so good, that I almost said "I love you"
 
then she has a song that comes later on the tracklist called, "Fuck It, I Love You!" Going by the titles, she fantasizes about a happy future (How to Disappear), they find solace temporarily {?}(California), then reality sets in and she realizes she can't change him (The Next Best American Record) and are we surprised? I'm ready for the damn album!

It actually makes a lot of sense. It's a sort of summary of her life and she ends up the record saying she has hope despite all the shit that she went through and that it's dangerous for her because her past has been quite rough so she shouldn't expect much in theory. It opens the doors to so many possibilities and she can easily continue the story on a next album if she wants. In LFL, she ended with Get Free, a song in which she was claming to be out the black, so she ended the record on something that turned out to be false. At least in NFR, a more personal album, she acknowledges that she's not out of the black but has hope to get out of it. It's a very mature way to close the record

Let's get outta this town baby we're on fire

Omg this cover is genius. She's fleeing a burning civilization of greed, ignorance and hatred and building a new america with a man from the past and she's pulling the listener in to join her. 

I don't get most of the complaining... at all.
 
For the whole "wow no car" "she's not wearing white"
I always saw Lust For Life as a full circle moment that closed something that started with Born To Die (She's also not wearing white or infront or any car in that beautiful-mess-airbrushed Paradise edition cover). Even "Get Free" sounded like she was trying to close a chapter in her whole life.
 
Norman Fucking Rockwell seems like the first step of something brand new. Out of the black, into the blue. Sis literally in the middle of the ocean while California is on fire behind her NNNN
 
 
I guess the whole composition might not work for some people tho and that's ok, that's valid. Just awkward to be mad she's not "INFRONT OF ANY CAR" or this type of stuff.
 
I, personally, love the aesthetic. It's a giant hybrid of Comic-Style, Real painting (background) and photography.

Wow this mythical album finally manifested. Cover is so unexpected and something really weird and funny It has her weird sense of humor in it while still being nice to look at. Her next to a beat generation era looking dude whilst wearing neon and being a present-day LA instagram thot is kind of genius.... She's so smart

So girls do we think Doin’ Time was the lead single lololol

Very cool thank you

Jack i love these chords could be a cute interlude or intro if she actually went in on the 'day in the life' theme. Think the strings of nashville / never let me go snippet. Live recording of jack just messing around, her saying jack i love these chords, then humming the melody for the next song before it fades in.
 
Anyways.

No one:
Us the past week:

It’s because they’re not on the album

Lana has said MULTIPLE time now last month that the record is coming "next month", meaning AUGUST.
 
The videos are done, the website is being edited, the pre-order links are in progress etc. Just stfu. It's NOT coming in September.

i wanna see how many people dislike coachella so like this if you do
btw i like the song dont @ me

i didn't mean "stand out" like *literally* sonically……….

 
yes…she…is…intentionally…narrating…….like from the present. the lyrics are devastating. she loved him so much she'd have smiled to take his every last bullet. and she did. he stained everything. her aphrodisiacs are no longer. now they trigger existential confusion.
 
but  she is also self aware. reflective. of course she knows she sounded dramatic. this isn't 2012. she knows she will be ok with peaches someday. but fuck, whyy did i give someone that much power???!

clindamycin, in my teeth

all you ladies on some csi shit and im still trying to find a way to get accepted back into the @@HONEYMOON instagram after i unfollowed her

Me unstanning next time Lana posts something irrelevant on IG
