Nor me. 

Nor me. 

Stardust = Joni Mitchell reference (‘Woodstock’) 

It's terrific--there's a good chance I'll use it rather than the final album art, which usually disappoints me. 
 
Will the Christmas | Winter Solstice | Winter Holiday gods bless us with the leaked vintage Lana track on the 25th? A la Fine China?

Looking at the Spotify numbers, it looks like she's finally past her peak, and the release of Henry, whether this year or later, probably won't do much to change that. The album is very late. Unless there's a big surprise (maybe a completely different second single) and something else is planned, I'm afraid it will continue to go downhill (but that won't change the fact that I probably like the album).
Releasing only two songs this year (so far) and not capitalising on her popularity doesn't seem very smart to me, even if there were other important things going on in her private life.

I feel like chemtrails and lust for life are sister albums (the common denominator being Yosemite) and for me this album will feel like a continuation of that after the optimism post-ocean boulevard 
 
OB is an incredibly heavy album with a lot of unanswered questions about legacy love and life. Maybe we’ll get some answers on this new record and a more optimistic perspective 
 
 

I think Margaret would have worked fine without the Jack vocal and without Lana speaking at the end. She seemed to be aiming for 'cute, something we can all relate to, like a cozy rom -com,' but it doesn't work as is. It's too syrupy and JA's vocals and Lana speaking break it up, and it's a short song to begin with.
 
The melody is nice and I think with better judgement, it would have been a decent Lana song, more in vein of the songs on BB than on OB. As it is, it's like OB's Tomorrow Never Came.  
 
She did say at one point that the lyrics on Lasso/TRPWS were lighter and broader in tone, which does suggest songs like Margaret and Sweet. Maybe that's changed with all the other changed and reconceptions. From what we've heard of Henry, it doesn't sound middle-of-the-road or something that would appeal to a wider swath of listeners a la Margaret. But as we know from Happiness Is A Butterfly, snippets can be deceiving.

Finally some brains!!

My biggest fear around this album is it will be a bunch of Margaret’s back to back

I met Jeremy at the boat show, he was wearing white
And I was like “Trump might be in trouble”
I had flashes of the good life 
He was like “should I repost this election conspiracy  now or do it on the double?”

I hate that song so much I really
hope the album doesn’t sound like that at all 

LFL had scope, variety, depth, and dimension. With Paradise and BB, it's among my favorites of her records. There were a few tracks I didn't care for and still don't, but the enjoyable tracks certainly outshone those. For me, the songs really played off and contrasted with one another, whereas on Honeymoon, the overall vibe was monochromatic. 

I still see 13 Beaches as one of the pinnacles of her recording career and don't understand the general lack of love for it. To me, it's kind of an ultimate statement of the Lana Del Rey Mood & State of Mind. 
 
I've heard people say, 'OB is what Lana was trying to achieve with LFL,' but I think just the opposite. OB was an attempt to create another album as full and varied as LFL. 
 
I also wouldn't mind an album trailer of TRPWS like we got with NFR!, though maybe not yet. It would be great to see the track listing so we know whether or not it will include Take Me Home, Country Roads, TPGICM, HBB, or Tough, or if, with Henry, we'll be getting 12 totally new tracks. 
 
If plans are still on track for two more singles before the end of the year, they'd better hurry. It seems more likely we'll get one or none, at this point.

yes, i'm a lfl truther for life and i'd take million lfls (and also million honeymoons) and those eras

Amen

she has a little less than a month until the year is over. I guess it's still possible but  most likely 2 singles out sometime after new years. hopefully jan/feb we get at least one single

Releasing a single 6 months before the album release is not a good idea imo, at this point, in May you’ll be sick listening to henry if she released it this month, it won’t have a replay value, even if you LOVE IT, 6 months is a lot, so I’m hoping March 

I would kill for a LFL era 2.0. She didn’t post too much, but it was enough to keep us fed. I’ll never forget her listening to White Mustang and doing her makeup   Like she could do that again with Henry. 
Then that random snippet of the Cherry demo. 
 
and then Roses Bloom For You? Magical. 
 
and on top of that we were constantly fed a stream of new music. Love (which leaked early little fuckers), Lust For Life, Groupie Love, Summer Bummer, and Coachella. 
 
Like I know a lot of fans dislike LFL, but you could tell she really loved it and I’d take even a 10th of that. One snippet in almost a year, and the brief times she has talked about music she sounds so disinterested. I would have been happy if the album announcement  had included the same snippet of Henry she posted in January. Just something to affirm she’s excited about what she’s been creating
