I’ve been saying, in both Bb and COCC eras, that I’d love for her do something a bit trippy, where she is now the cult leader… Is this it?!?? Fuck, I’m perched now’!!!

This is what I wish for. Another iconic gem

What I remember was mostly spilled about his tastes during Bb era was said on ATRL; he loves « sadcore Lana », from what I gathered : Fine China was his fave from the initial BB tracklist, he likes wCE… He also loved the rework on Thunder, so I guess more produced tracks? (this is interpretation though)

I dont know why, at the moment, I feel like this about this album, but Eclipse had an interesting review of Taylor’s Midnights, where he said she integrated and polished all of her pop albums and turned their best elements into midnights. I think this could be the same for Lana’s: elements from UV, HM, NFR, BB and Violet while still being own and unique way.

He does really love pop but when it comes to Lana, he stans her early stuff, the « sadcore » Lana (he loved WCE, which was that). I don’t remember if he loved NFR, but my guess is that the album sounds very « sad » in the lyrics. But let’s not forget he also loves Caroline, who is not pop…

My comment will probably sound homophobic, but it is valid nonetheless (full disclosure : I am part of the LGBTQ community; I know it doesn’t give me rights to display some sort of lgbtqphobia, but still) im having a huge problem with gays right now spoiling everything on social media’s the second they watched / heard something. I’m also a big Star Wars nerd, love GoT and HoTD, I love the MCU and there is at least a 48-hour window of no spoilers in the discussion threads / tweets. But I don’t know why gays need to post ASAP about the RuPaul’s Drag race winners or shockers the minute they happened, and so on. I’m watching The white Lotus and no way that major LGBTQ media’s or users will shut up for 12 hours before discussing any gay twist or thirst trap (with pictures also, so it’s not just an intriguing title that I can skip if I want to avoid). anyways, back to Lana… what I said doesn’t necessarily apply to our two insider Legends : their teasing hypes this thread and they don’t reveal that much. But others who heard the album in advance spoil way too much… (thank god for this site and the spoiler box!!!) anyways, sorry for the essay, I don’t want to sound homophobic, but I’ve recently only experienced it with gay guys / gay community on socials.

So, who’s ready for the meltdowns when she posts the tracklist and we don’t see the titles Rockefeller or DNC?

so poetic! Automatic angry writing indeed!

I don’t think we’ll have to wait six months for the album, which makes it easier to wait. Also, Lana begging us not to listen to leaks makes me want to wait. I think I’d prefer to take my chances, and order a CD through Amazon that could be shipped early… rather than finding a file through that site that is always blocked for me (and there’s always the possibility someone will mess with the file, à la Dealer, and hearing the real version makes me wonder what sorcery is this)

Loved You Then and Now if the sound that DragonWhore teased is true, any song that is mysterious and with a cult leader-ish type of vibe… à la Cult Leader or Dragon Slayer (if it is in that vein). I really like UFB, but it should be reworked and probably not on this one. i really love Fine China, but don’t think it’s realistic to expect it this time around.

LFL sure was under appreciated as an era, if we look back at all those covers alone

Totally 💯 agree with you: the back cover should have been the front. and BB’s cover is top 3 for me for sure

It sure is her worst cover ever it’s not that it is that bad, but it’s bad for her standards, although I didn’t find it that ugly after a Twitter fan account put side by side the COCC cover and the alternate UO one (which I like)

I do love Jack and Lana together but get that it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Not to go on with that endless debate, but I don’t think he will be the sole producer on many tracks, and that Drew will have his hand on songs. Everybody praises California, and it was a Jack and Zack track, so I’m all for « two-producer » songs.

Whether their info checks out or not, I see UV and HM as « influences / spirit »: to me, UV is all about dark lyrics and some guitar (Dealer is UV in spirit, though I know it’s nowhere near the guitar progression of the album); HM is all about strings. WCE was very much « sadcore Lana », even though it’s not BTD in terms of production (which is, to me, the epitome of sadcore Lana) I don’t think anyway that Lana will ever do a 2.0 to any of her albums, but some influences are sure to be back. i had an epiphany last night: so, Leaks Nation was right?!?!

All I see here is Jack is this, Jack is that, but the real REAL question is : What is Daddy Rick’s involvement on the album?

MY GAWD! All standout tracks!!!

From what I’ve seen, I missed the « insider trial » ?

Everybody wishes for 10 coloured vinyls and well, good for you, but I wish there is a box set for this album as well: the LFL one doesn’t get enough praise, with its Neil lithographs. The COCC booklet was also beautiful.

Waking up to Lana and Neil confirming they are doing visuals for this album is a dream come true

If LYTAN isn’t on the album, I won’t lose my mind since she never talked about it (unlike Yosemite); we pretty much found out about that one through insiders. am I curious about it? Yes, but can still wait I guess

Each album pretty much had one flower, but maybe there’s a photoshoot for an interview that has a different flower? Im excited as it is for the new album coming very soon, a double album seems too much almost

Love the euphoria version, but we have that one already, I want new songs.

The Eclipse comment, I didn’t know what to make of it but maybe… As for the flowers, why couldn’t the two be for a single album?

Why the sudden belief it’s a double album?
