That cover is the antithesis of everything we've heard in the snippets so far. It doesn't match the music at ALL. I can't believe people like it; I am making a mental list and deducting reputation points let me tell YOU. 

August 30th fkn knew that bitch would wait as long as possible. 
 
The cover is a fucking trainwreck which really suits this era. 
 
The NFR and LDR logos are beyond hideous; what the actual FUCK was she thinking? It's meant to be a "really pretty" album according to her but there is nothing pretty about those logos or that neon jacket. 
 
Whatever. Give me the damn music on August 30 and I'll be on my merry way. 

what we deserved 

If she had been hugging him and at least looking towards him it would have been better. The reaching out to the viewer pose is clumsy and awful.
 
Everything looks washed out. It would ha e been better if the colors were more saturated and there was more contrast. That greenish yellow is awful too. She should have used a primary yellow instead.

Some stans, they want the same thing over and over. Same car, same outfit. She’s done 4 albums with cars time to move on. It’s boats now!

No one is coming for your questionable taste for liking that cover made by a 6th grader on their school computer sis, let us be angry then!

I really hope NBAR is reworked by antonoff ... guys also what do we think about tracklist?? I’m obsessed but also wish there was more songs we hadn’t heard of? Also doin time better be an extended version or something

Oh wow. 
Album cover... It looks like a bit of a mess to be honest, but so was this whole era, so it's very fitting in that way. 
Just excited for the album to drop. That's the real thing. 

this is DEFINITELY the cover her manager didn’t like

lyrically, it’s great! it’s well-written in that way. but the melody is so bland. it makes me sleepy.

I agree. She can afford/get the best photographer the world has to offer, and yet this anemic, clumsy photo is what she uses for her new album cover.
 
It’s hilarious how overused the word ‘iconic’ is here and all over the internet, like ‘literally’; I get the impression many use both but have no genuine idea what either mean.
 
It would be nice to know what the track times are. One or more might be as long as VB.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad she finally posted everything. And I'm glad our calculations were right - Aug 30th!
 
But the whole album cover is just...wrong. It's gonna look so out of place next to her other ones on Spotify. Maybe I'll learn to like it a year or two later but for now it's really put a damper on my excitement. Oh well.

I think the main reason why I’m mildly upset is the fact that we have heard most of the tracks already but that’s okay I’m just glad it’s still coming

I hate the cover. Love the tracklist, except for Doin time. I love that BAR is on there

Full agree. Very awkward, especially the reaching forward part.
 
The top she has on may be yellow, but it looks chartreuse, and chartreuse is never a good color for photos of any kind.

Exactly how I feel. The whole posing is so awkward... Lana is really going for a photoshop campy mess this era. First Doin Time now this...

at least she can re-use the White Mustang video for BAR 
 
queen of recycling!

Did she literally use BAR as a filler

THE COVER ART IS SO UGKY AND TACKY, I GOTTA LOVE IT AAAAHAHAHAHAHA IT LOOKS LIKE SOME UGLEE FAN MADE EDIT

um, that's the cover...?

that cover is a niGHT MARE

Not the worst I have seen, but pretty bad. The colors are awful, including the yellow nail polish, and she looks plain and washed out. Geez. You have to wonder who is advising her. Maybe those Yes Men some of us discussed yesterday.

I don’t want BAR on NFR unless it has a completely new arrangement.
 
The Nowel production curse is a slow, mellow beginning, then a lot of lukewarm bombast. LDR has too many songs that follow that pattern. I like BAR well enough, but the production and arrangements are tired and rote.
 
We will get ‘Yosemite’ when LDR releases some kind of ‘greatest hits,’ ‘best of’ or career retrospective, like Tori Amos’s multi-disc ‘A Piano,’ which offered Amos’s rarities and some never-released-but-sought-after-tracks similar in status to ‘Yosemite.’
