(Still looking forward to the album but genuinely gonna miss the Antonoff era of writing and production)

33 minutes ago, Venice Peach said:I still not understand what is lazy about using outakkes. It's not like the songs were handed to her, she actually wrote and recorded them, just not this year.
She has like +200 unreleased songs and she's giving us the second album this year (and probably a third one soon with the covers).
Lana is FAR from lazy. She's also been working nonstop since BTD dropped. Cmon the longest we ever had to wait between albums was 2 years
I record music myself, if people knew how long it takes to write record produce a single throwaway song, she’s unbelievably prolific!
-
the songs she scrapped will eventually resurface as well, whether they leak or she uses them on future albums…

6 minutes ago, Sportscruiser said:Eh… I don’t buy that, with all due respect. She screamed for the things she couldn’t want for him at a Black Lives Matter protest?
That’s fair! Bur honestly I do think so - she’s at a civil rights march crying for freedom from oppression. A freedom that she couldn’t wish for her father, because as per WW’s lyrics, he is trapped in a relationship with a narcissist “his wife would rage at me”. The three singles were very intentionally released alongside one another, so I couldn’t help but look for connections between the lyrics though so I might be wrong!

7 minutes ago, Surf Noir said:i'm pretty sure it is, the first line referencing blm was "there we were screaming black lives matter", so it would make sense that she's saying "i screamed for (black lives/black lives matter)" i think she was saying that despite what her partner at the time thought of her going to these protests, she's going to scream & protest anyways, and do what she thinks is right
I dunno, I assumed the “them” she screams for are “all the things [plural ]I couldn’t want for him”, as “I screamed for them” comes right after. The things she couldn’t want for him (her father) are the things she screams for. -

UV’s highs are incredible and it used to be my favourite Lana album, but now it’s among my least: CW is far too long; the title track is a beautiful melody overwhelmed by an overcrowded production and inconsistent lyrics; BB is lyrically embarrassing, as with FMWUTTT and PWIC - overall the lyrics on this album are her weakest, which is a pity because I want to love this album, it’s sonically among her best.
-
CoCC’s production is more intimately mixed than her other work - less reverb, and walls of sound, it ends up sounding compressed, earthy and bare, so I can understand how it sounds “ugly” in comparison to her other work (UV was aggressive sounding but drenched in reverb), but, that’s what I love about it ?
-
As a fan from day one, COCC is possibly my favourite Lana album - dark, neurotic, and eccentric. My favourite moment in the record is probably the second verse of Wild At Heart, where she breaks the melody into a monorhythm with one of her darkest lyrics ever, talking about the possibility of undoing all her sobriety, and thus all of the work she has ever been able to make since committing to it - in essence, a world without Lana Del Rey, which is a theme she has been hinting at since Swan Song on each of her albums, that reflex of self-destruction. Ugh, COCC is great.
-
I mean she said it herself, LFL was for the fans, and I love many of the songs on it, but it’s a crowd pleaser, and reads as such - pleasing, but not her best work. 13 Beaches is phenomenal though!
-
Damn ladies, it’s not like she was a social media butterfly ? the music (and second album this year, possibly of three), which got us here in the first place, is just around the corner, as is even more music for likely years to come. I say let the artist who feeds us do whatever she needs to do to keep doing just that.
-
It would never happen, but my dream cover would be All Flowers In Time by Jeff Buckley.
are we sure it’s still American Standards though? She just called it a covers album on this occasion (delulu)

18 minutes ago, Thunder said:I never know what to expect with her song titles. I wouldn't be surprised if it was more of a transitory track between the bluesy, theatrical aspects of the first part and into the other
I thought Venice Bitch was going to be the dumbest song i've ever heard, but it turned into a 9 minute long masterpiece
inb4 Black Bathing Suit is as repetitive, morose and plodding as Guns & Roses ? -
4 hours ago, CinnamonGay said:Have they been included in spotify as well?
Also...do physicals ship on 22 or 29th?
And someone also mentioned the Arcadia MV audio is different from streaming? Really?
Someone with Spotify said they sound the same on there, can’t confirm myself. Don’t know about shipping. The video includes the following track “Interlude - the Trio” at the end, I originally mistook it for being only in the video - we won’t have it on streaming till release. ?? -
16 minutes ago, folklore said:FUCK. My favourite cover of hers ever (maybe slightly behind COCC alt)
-
(The asshole designer in me wants the font on the cover to be replaced by the one on the actual disc lol don’t hate me I should be grateful after the last cover)
-
Just now, Yosemite said:Where are y'all listening to those updated versions of the singles? Is it just on Apple Music? Bc they sound the same to me, on Spotify
Yeah, Apple Music! ?
-
There are definitely new synths on WW, and the vocal production is warmer, and the 8-bitty drums at the end are slightly lower in the mix. Crazy how the smallest production changes can let a song shine more. Love
-
Is it just me or is Wildflower Wildfire on the album remastered? The vocals and the piano are definitely different. It sounds miles better!
-
I went for a run to listen to Arcadia, when the beat dropped I burst out cackling, the beauty and the AUDACITY. Love her. So hyped. Wish the video version was the album version but whatever

<spoiler>
Spoiler
4 minutes and something, maybe 12 seconds - won’t be listening again till we have it in full quality. -
For those who don’t mind being spoiled descriptively but want to wait till release:
SpoilerIt’s a duet with Alex Turner (?), sounds like it should have been on Ultraviolence - it sounds like what she described Pretty When You Cry as in terms of emotion, sounds like it was done in one (very emotional) take, but raw in a good way, a blistering attack on her former lover. It’s also quite strange, she screams but there are also playful lines. Genuinely hard to describe in terms of tone, but very dirge-y yet not monotonous, again, Ultraviolence teas. The verses are catchier than the chorus, but the chorus is quite obviously meant to be this atonal explosion.
