Yeah But let’s just say that miss Del Rey almost never half-ass things and often goes in a completely opposite direction after complaints let’s talk snippets here: - LFL era: lots of them but close to release and of the last songs recorded for the album. People enjoyed them a lot, don’t remember many complaints with them, other than the pre-order took so long and release date no where in sight. - NFR: lots lots lots… but nowhere close finishing the album. She wanted to let us in on her creation process, it seems. Made us think the album was way closer than it really was. Lots of complaints. - COCC: era started with TJF snips. The only other one I remember was White Dress, close to release. No details on the release of those songs or of the album. Not a lot was spoiled. Were we satisfied? Not sure - BB: title track snips a bit early for the single. Arcadia snips was a « consolation price » for the false date. After three singles and a short pre-release AND leaked tracks making it to the album, the complaints weren’t too many that we didn’t have snippets. - Ocean Blvd: Candy Necklace 10-second snips, that looks like a spur-of-the-moment. the silence is giving me: « You didn’t want to be spoiled, you won’t be » or « Go ask your damn insiders that heard the album through leaks »

I think Tuesday will end the worst part of pre-release. There might not be something big every week after A&W, but every two weeks? The title track had me fulfilled for a good month and I think the new single will do that as well. as for a third single, if there is one, I won’t be able to resist listening to it but if there isn’t one, I won’t mind.

This era feels like NFR, but (thank God) not as long a pre-release: many things will unfold in the coming weeks, but it’s very quiet after the single dropped and things will pick up again the last month before the album is out.

Hard to say because, well, we haven’t heard it yet haha But the fact that insiders love it for different reasons / songs makes me hopeful the GP will also love it. I’m having a big NFR revival these days and God it’s good!!! I love its honesty and it feels like a « coastal ride » when you listen to it from cover to cover NFR, TNBAR and Bartender are hitting hard these days (not sure why though).

Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd DYKTTATUOB is way too long to remember. Same with Hope’s acronym.

I don’t think that A&W will get the single cover treatment (although the titty pic would be perfect for it)

UV is sure having its own momentum since last summer (GP finally found out what we’ve already known for almost 9 years now , that it’s an amazing masterpiece). Honestly, what an iconic discography she has and I can’t wait to hear TUOB and where it stands amongst her other masterpieces.

BTD and NFR are her most streamed projects so far, and two culturally iconic albums as well. NFR just hit the two billion stream mark on Spotify yesterday (her fastest album to reach this milestone) i wonder if TUOB will be as iconic as these two (I really think it will be although we have not heard much from it yet)

I mentioned TUOB at the end of my post (seriously, I know I veered off topic, I even had to check if I was in the right thread )

They’re actually not that bad honestly, but I think the song will be even crazier than that. Like I expect a couple of WTF moments, did she just say that?

The only Grammy Award she has to win is the one crowning her whole career If we look back on her albums, they all tell a chapter of her life and every album has some gems and career highlights. She is the one of the best singer songwriter out there for sure.

Did I read too fast but is there no mention of Jimmy Jimmy CoCo Puff in those lyrics?

I really think the Grammy’s crowned Billie to prove they were still « relevant », acknowledging young talent and not just « circle jerking » their own and established piers. but you’re absolutely right that NFR stood the test of time, especially when the pandemic happened (the greatest has so much more depth now, Hope’s fragility also). I’m curious where this new album will stand with the critics.

They’re cute The racer jacket is my fave but I can’t afford it if the boxset drops this week.

I’m gonna give it a try for sure

It could very well be. still can’t believe a song called Fishtail will be the sexy track of the album Same goes with Tulsa Jesus Freak.

Im sensing another NFR situation: not a big first week, but growing and steady streaming because the album is good or has people curious THIS!!!!

You won’t make it very far through the pages anyways, there’s always a damn line every pre-release. « You should stay that close to Jesus … »

It’s still planed on Valentine’s Day, at 11am NY time

At this point, I’ll take the boxset preorder and call it a day.

Agree with you on that one. Remember when BAR leaked, Ben said that Lana was sad and that she could scrap the whole LFL album? I think it might be another «spur of the moment » thing.

Let’s not all freak out. Eclipse said her management isn’t Happy about finding the release date and maybe they could possibly delay A&W. not confirmed though.

Just caught up with this thread… im gonna laugh about it, instead of stressing out (but hey, it’s getting ridiculous IF it’s delayed)
