As much as I want to see that tracklist so bad, i expect another single before the tracklist: it would make sense to delay any leak possible by not revealing too much too soon. We still have three months to go.

I have a hard time ranking her title tracks since many are equals. Ocean Blvd and Chemtrails probably are my top. but I know Lust for Life surely is the last one… and I don’t even hate that song (I even really like it). Her discography surely is fucking amazing when Lust for Life might be for many her « worst » title track.

woah this is so true! Intentional or not, it makes a lot of sense. Bravo for pointing that out

I completely understand that her albums are hers. But I love to get lost in her songs, when they mirror my own life in some way not that it always should, which is totally normal and fine, and it’s bound to happen at some point, that I won’t always relate to the story of a song. if The Grants is very specific, I hope the production is grand and lush, so I can still love it even if I don’t relate to the lyrics, like Art Deco and Carmen in her first records. I’ve mentioned it before, but this is what was tricky about both BB and COCC: stripped down production songs that I don’t relate to ate very hard to love (the songs that are too oriented towards celebrity and motherhood, like Dance Til We Die or Sweet Carolina, are the ones I listen to the least)

At the moment, I imagine the narrative of the album being about her fucked up early life, making her « vulnerable » to being recruited in a cult, and her experiences there in the second half of the album.

Woah you are the strongest person if you haven’t listent to Ocean Blvd yet Respect!

Well, with a track called the Grants, it sure is bound to come up in some form. But maybe it’s more about her karmic lineage, and what the Grant name has brought over the centuries? I just hope it’s not some Grant family party with Rob, Chuck and Charlie we won’t really care about

The Pastor interlude is a weird idea… and yet, it’s probably very fitting with the cultish menacing vibes rumoured on the album. And, in a way, sorta prophetic of our times, with conservatism emerging everywhere in Occident. i can’t wait to hear this damn album.

I’m not a big fan of a&w as a title. Like we know we’re buying a Lana album, no need to tone it down, we know it’s about American whore. im intrigued now by what the « j » means if BoZ thinks it should have been called aw&j

I wonder if she’ll reveal the tracklist a song at a time or all at once… maybe they’re waiting as long as possible to avoid possible leaks (it’s sure is easier to look up for songs when you know its title)

I absolutely adore that the W magazine photoshoot matches the visuals of this album I wonder if the title track was always meant to be the lead single or if the initial plan was to have a song that was going to be more 🌊, since it was rumoured to be out some time last summer three months feels super long right now, although I must remind myself that things will happen in the meantime.

I didn’t see any lyrics that weren’t Lana’s in the writing credits, so I doubt there’s a cover on this album.

Agreed! Never thought math could be so tough… and so fucking irrelevant in the end . Like does it change anything at this point which number it is? It doesnt make an album better or worse…

Neither was it for me!!! but for others here… it didn’t live up to their expectations

Is American Whore becoming the new Dealer that will inevitably disappoint us because of our through-the-roof expectations??

Agreed! And at 9 songs with the deluxe edition, it’s only one song short from what is usually considered a LP / album. (the remastering of Yayo kinda always meant to me that the rerelease of aka as a whole album was dead and buried)

Not trying at all to gaslight you, because I share some parts in what you said, but I, too, skip some parts of both COCC and BB and hopes that this album will go bigger (which I’m sure it will). but here’s how I see COCC and BB: they were her « pandemic albums », when she was at a standstill and couldn’t create the way she used to. COCC is a reflection on her career and BB is a reflection on her personal trauma / passed relationships. Although both albums have standout tracks, others, with their minimal production, I had a « problem » relating to some themes and couldn’t lean on production alone to enjoy the tracks, as opposed to her first albums where I could always rely on the music to like the song nonetheless (ArtDeco and Carmen, for example : I don’t have anything in my life to relate to them but the music won me over nonetheless). For Free and Dance Til We die are beautiful but are too much about her life as an artist ; same for the motherhood songs on BB like Cherry Blossom or Sweet Carolina. anyways, sorry for the long essay: these are my two cents that I wanted to share.

I find it funny that Apple Music has the album categorized as pop

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl4S_Ddpl_Y/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= sorry for posting so much but I have a lot of questions… Does anyone know what the caption means: « The day I met Jimmy » the picture dates back to their first meeting, but is it Lana’s nickname? Is Lana Jim in her songs?!?

Based on the writing credits, I’ve seen that Jon Batiste penned two tracks with her. Maybe it’s for two separate songs, but I’m leaning towards Rockefeller having an interlude as an intro or outro sorry if it’s been discussed, but Wednesday, being a Lana Stan was a full-time job and I had very little time to process everything this is actual footage of me trying to catch up with everything on Wednesday

This album is already amazing to me and we’ve only heard the title track. before the COCC era, she had posted a clip from From Here to Eternity, which is Golden Age Hollywood, an era I absolutely adore. Back then, I thought it was a hint of things to come (I now know I don’t Stan Taylor haha and that almost nothing is a clue with Lana). Needless to say it wasn’t. so, to hear those grand strings on that vulnerable ballad, with those vintage inspired album covers, this is a dream to me, an almost return to HM with the lyricism of BB Not that I want the whole album to sound like that, but so far, I am a happy camper

The melody is similar on some parts, yes. When she opens the song, it reminds me of « talk to me with that whisky breath », and the chorus reminds me of « light me up like a Fourth of July ». IYLDWM is probably my favourite song ouf of BB, but I didn’t think she could top it

I was just thinking the same yesterday, when I blasted the song with a glass of wine. I could totally see Lana singing in that damn tunnel not wanting to be forgotten

this album is gonna murder me

I think she’ll do some sort of tour but surely will announce it after Christmas, when people might have money, hahaha
