Yeah BoZ was right, it is for the fans, but I hate myself for hyping this way more than I should (it’s very personal, I’m glad if you’re excited, but I can’t say I’m hyped : there’s nothing in my city )

Starting to think Kintsugi was talking about The Grants being the third single and BoZ was talking about something else altogether… I downgraded my hype for this surprise but if this is it, it’s even worse that my worst expectations

I find it odd too. Probably another « HM being played at Urban Outfitters » type of promo. NGL, at first I thought the date was because of the time zones… until I realized it’s not in Australia, where times can change the release day of an album

You’re so right… and yet

I fucking hope this is not the surprise BoZ referred to because…

A&w already got new track when released

So is Lana announcing the surprise today? (starting to think it was all a ploy to catch BoZ in the act. BTW, are those rumours about him having problems with justice because of his insider info true at all???)

Lucky you!!! i was supposed to be free on release day but have to work now I plan to listen to the album while walking my dog, the morning of release day, with a pair of good headphones. Then it’s work, work, work but should be able to listen to the album again by the end of morning (possibly pretending to work while doing it )

Didn’t hear much, but…

I heard some 30-second snippets, once ( I never had a problem listening to a sampler of an album before release ). I forgot most of the snippets but liked what I heard. But just from the singles, they all feel like part of something bigger and they make much more sense as a whole. So no no more leaks for me, we’ve got this and are so close to release

Album leaked untagged Hq, except for Candy Necklace

I was starting to think it also. But we’ve got to take the win (Lana and her team as well): in an era of albums leaking A MONTH before release, with her laptop have been stolen THIS SUMMER, with her post suggesting it could leak since OCTOBER, it’s almost odd-defying it leaked only a week before official release

Leaks in HQ are of course better than LQ, but this album seems to be made for Dolby Atmos. Im not a big fan of Dolby Atmos, but the three singles sound was better with a pair of good headphones. Not saying it’s going to be magical and will make us love all the tracks because of it, but I think it will help get into that intimate atmosphere of the album, with subtle production elements.

The only two I assume could have heard it are BoZ and Eclipse. The others don’t seem to be as « resourceful »… By the way, if BoZ is blonde and gone, the next albums will have so pretty pretty dry pre-releases

One thing I don’t understand: if none of our insiders has heardCandy Necklace, why not just say so?

gurl, same!!!

Geez you have got to know what you are looking for, when looking up for these four new tracks…

Taylor is releasing four new tracks at midnight to kick off her new tour; meanwhile, we’re getting all riled up at the possibility of maybe getting a track we already know with maybe a different production (Swifties sometimes have it so easy)

Still to this day, I wonder if it affected LB’s ranking of NFR… The outro to CG was unlistenable

This forum should lower their expectations on everything. Period.

The last tracks of the album are shaping up to be the summer bops I had completely given up on from her Not that I believed she couldn’t do them anymore, but that maybe she wasn’t into that headspace. I can’t wait to listen to the album form start to finish and be on that long and intense trip she is taking us on.

It usually gets very quiet, if the album leaked before. Yes, there are some harsh reviews, but many are vibing to the album or being a bit blue now that the excitement has died down. But expect people who had way too high of expectations to say this album isn’t good… Usually, after a month or two, we begin to see praise for the one BEFORE that was so heavily sh*tted on for much of the pre-release era.
