necessary sacrifice

Lana and kitties, my fave things! Love the feel of these pics.

Thunder vs Sad Girl

Heroin vs Gods & Monsters

They actually sent it in a clear plastic sleeve. This was the one I made because there was no way I was gonna keep a record that wasn’t a picture disc in a gross plastic sleeve lol.

Since Chromatica came in the most ridiculously awful packaging, I made my own sleeve. It’s not the best, but it’s better than what it came in.

Trash Magic vs Motel 6

Pin Up Galore vs Disco

Imagine a dress like that with kind of a Brigitte Bardot hairstyle now that Lana has long blonde hair..... ugh I want it. I doubt she’ll do big hair again, but a girl can dream.

Idk if this sounds strange and I’m not even entirely sure what I mean by this, but I feel like out of all Lana’s records, NFR has the biggest housewife vibe.

Omg imagine we did get kind of a 20s jazzy boogie-woogie type sound.... a dream. And music videos in the style of silent films and Lana with a 20s look.... I wish she’d do something like that eventually.

Honeymoon Norman fucking Rockwell! Ultraviolence Lana Del Ray aka Lizzy Grant Paradise Lust for Life Born to Die

Man, this one’s super hard Heroin vs Cruel World

raise me up vs kinda outta luck

marilyn vs elvis

I don’t really have preferences in sounds for the album (Lana always does something I enjoy, so I trust her), but I just wanted to say I’m really liking a lot of the ideas everyone here is coming up with for sounds and visuals.

I hope she gives us little moments of those high girlish lizzy vocals in some songs on the album like she did in Fuck it I Love You.

Am I the only one who interpreted “Norman’s little sister” as just meaning the next album, like they’re all her babies, so the next one would technically be Norman’s little sister, as well as technically all her albums’ little sister too. Idk, that’s how I interpreted it. I didn’t think it meant it was NFR 2.0. But all her albums do seem to carry a little bit of the essence of the previous one while also becoming something totally different and new, so I don’t exactly expect it to be the anti-NFR either.

I kinda feel like this album will be more mellow sonically like HM & NFR but more daring lyrically like AKA & UV.

This is what I’m hoping. But then I keep feeling sceptical because that’s a lot of projects for her in a short amount of time if they really do all get released. But then part of me feels like maybe she just has a huge surge of inspiration and a lot of time on her hands right now, so it does make sense. I’m just too afraid to be optimistic lol.

I saw a theory on twitter that the only album we’re waiting on is the one spoken word album made of poems from both books and that Chemtrails is actually the name of the lead single and istg I hope that’s not true bc I interpreted it as a music album and at least one spoken word album (if not two). I hope there’s two spoken word albums, but if not, at least we’re getting two books.

I prefer no collabs, but this would be a great time for her to finally collab with Courtney Love

So many people on twitter don’t understand what a country club is and they really think Lana’s just making a country album.......

She should make some aka/btd style homemade videos while stuck inside. Probably won’t, but I’d be so here for it.

Do you guys think this is coming out before or after Violet? I really do hope we are truly getting an album and two poetry books/albums within the next year. Not getting my hopes up, but it would be nice if everything stayed on schedule since Lana has more spare time now to work on everything.

I can’t wait to find out what type of music this album will be. My first instinct was somewhat similar to the instrumentals in her last two poems, but who knows, maybe since she’s making them at the same time she’ll use completely different sounds. No matter what though I am very excited, I’m always happy with Lana’s albums. I’m digging the title too, it’s different and memorable. Personally I think it’s kinda tongue in cheek, but then again, Lana’s a bit of a wild card, so who knows? I’m very interested in hearing what the contents of the lyrics will be too, especially with everything happening the past few days.
