I'm not completely sold on either the May or the July date (it might be pushed back but pushing it to July is just era suicide). That said, do you really think that promo singles and the LFL video could save the buzz for this release? Every magazine she was scheduled for is out or coming out soon and it feels like a July release would just make things even worse.

The second part of the gif came from Hillary Clinton dabbing on Ellen.

Maybe a release date, any release date, will come tomorrow. If anything is coming tomorrow.

What she needs to sing is Brite Lites, Pawn Shop Blues, or Boarding School.

if I had my way, she'd retire Born To Die/Paradise tracks and perform more songs from Ultraviolence, AKA, and some songs from Lust For Life.

7 songs from Born To Die: The Paradise Edition and only one song from the album this tour is supposed to support? And not even the title track of the album? Sorry, can't be with this.

The only question is: do we take the Paris Match date as the final word or do we take Elle's June issue referring to Lust For Life as having already been released in May as the final word?

Hahaha no.

Y'all are gonna get Lanaboards shut down for pissing Ben off.

Please no more collabs.

13 Beaches sounds like a terrible song and I hope it isn't on the album.

I don't get either magazine, so I don't know.

May 26th was reported by Rolling Stone and Vulture (New York Magazine). Reputable magazines did go up for May 26th.

Given this era, I'm only trusting it about 95%, but it's because they interviewed her. Of course, Elle also interviewed Lana and they said this about it "In a candid interview to mark the release of her stunning new album 'Lust for Life'..." So...anything is possible.

Then, by that standard, Lady Gaga isn't a major pop artist in 2017 and she's still doing better than Lana. But I'm not expecting Lana to be a chart smasher. I don't even care if her album goes even fucking aluminum. But I do want this era to go better than it has been. Releasing a song and then going silent for weeks without any info isn't a good thing (ofc she gave us C-WIMM, which is good, but prior to that, I mean).

She's a multiplatinum selling artist. If that ain't a major pop act, then nobody is.

Uh, thousands of people work on a single Hollywood film's crew, each with important roles to play. And it takes a lot less effort to edit, master, etc. an album than it does an album. They are not comparable. Are you telling me that Lana Del Rey does not control her own promotion? "Radio is in its death throes" and yet other artists who've released singles this year are doing significantly better than her. Radio being in its death throes didn't seem to stop any of them. Her inability to promote her music lies squarely at her feet. Fucking Lady Gaga, who has been on a steady decline since Artpop, charted higher than her. That's just embarrassing.

I'd be okay with the wait if this era wasn't a complete disaster (granted, it's not entirely Lana's fault, but a disaster nonetheless)

An album is not a film, so I don't know why you're even attempting to compare the two. It's also more than just about the speed. I'm used to eras that were, you know, managed decently well. Not an era where a single featuring a multiplatinum selling popular artist doesn't even get pushed beyond the day of its premier.

You make it sound like I wished for her puppy to die or something. Jeez. Also, I hope you've never listened to anything of hers that has leaked. Ever. Especially if it was intended for an album. Because that high horse you're wouldn't nearly be as nice.

Almost two months is a pretty long time for an album that was supposed to be out in the Spring, and for an album that had "Coming Soon" billboards put up, and for an album that had its very first single come out in February. But, it does explain the fact that the album trailer and the album theme don't even match. I stand by it.

Again, I hope someone leaks this album.

See? This is why you don't get excited for things you know aren't going to happen. This entire era has been a mess. Might as well make it worse.

If people even read the Flaunt interview, they'd know why it's a relatively good argument against the 26th being LFL's release date. Not having a finalized tracklist so soon before its release (assuming the interview was done even by mid to late April) isn't a very good sign, since physical copies of the vinyl and CD need to be pressed.
