Everyone looks cursed in these LQ/blurry images. But this is criminal.

@@Elle do your thing, we're intrigued here.

I honestly wish I would think about this album the way I do with her first three albums... but the only time this album comes to mind is when other fans mention it. I don't act like it doesn't exist, but like it's almost entirely absent from my playlists. Same goes with Lust for Life.

Are we all going to ignore that Toby Mcguire is in the second picture? What's up Lanz why is Peter Parker in your backyard?

All of this! But what's wrong with boxed wine tho

To this day I still don't understand how they were selling the 'Born To Die: The Paradise Edition' vinyl with just the sleeve for the two albums and only 'Paradise' came with it? But like it was just as expensive as 'Born To Die'. Then 'Born To Die' with the three bonus track was hard as hell to find??? I finally got what I wanted, but that was a headache. The package was nice because of the gold incrusted letters, but it was a rip off.

I agree, besides the Paradise and UV covers... I don't particularly care much for her album covers. I honestly care more about the pictures that's inside the booklets and the visuals than the covers themselves. I don't think that album covers are her strong suit they're not revolutionary pieces of art like some of her contemporaries' are.

Very unpopular opinion, but here's my ranking of Lana's official album covers. 1. Paradise 2. Ultraviolence 3. Honeymoon 4. Born To Die 5. Lust for Life 6. NFR! I honestly don't care how edited Lana's face is on the Paradise cover, the whole vibe of that picture just gets me. It has such a hot, summery atmosphere, it's beautiful. It can't be worse than the 'Born To Die' cover knowing the picture doesn't actually exists. As for NFR... it's just like too much going on and nothing makes sense to me.

To be quite honest, I don't have particularly high expectations for COCC's visuals (and for any future Lana records if I'm being honest too), but I just hope that we get somewhat better album covers than what we had on 'LFL' and 'NFR'. On the first, the pose was weird and awkward, her creepy smile and stiff pose were throwing me off. She legit looked like a cardboard version of herself plastered in front of that car. On the latter, while I thought the pose and painted blue skies were cute, the colour tones/palette of the whole thing as well as that font were downright ugly. Some of the elements were fine on their own, but the final result was quite mismatched and looked like some entry level high school art class project.

Tbh I've seen lotsa stuff she's done with other artists or for other projects/businesses and like... some of it is actually good. But the vast majority of what she's done with Lanz is just so plain, DIY and amateur through and through. Like she's nowhere near the level of artistry and perfection of someone like Neil Krug.

I never understood why Lana has ditched both Brian Wilson and Giorgio Moroder's mid-collab back in 2013/14. Like these dudes are legends and Miss Del Rey just left the both of them on read.

I just want to say that all of your comments mean so much to me, I find a lot of validity in them. You have all pinpointed how I feel about Lana's image, lyricism and melodies post-Honeymoon.

wasn't NFR already a watered down version of both 'Honeymoon' and 'Ultraviolence'? jk don't come for me... or do whatchu want

Yeah dude, like properly recorded and mastered balanced and atmospheric instrumentation and vocals are the absolute worst and most shallow aspects about Lana's albums pre-NFR. Don't you know? Let's hope that on COCC Lana dives back into that. I looove shallow music.

One of life's greatest mystery...

I cannot get over how Dan changed that song, the radio edit was really nice and chill, but that version? Transcending.

Yes.

needs more orangelemon imo

at this point I feel like Lana likes to play cat out mice game with her fans, with how bad the roll outs of her albums turn out. But also, how sucky her snippet game is. She legit spoils half the album, if not more, even before she releases it.

It's honestly the best tour and it also had the best set list, before it come tired and repetitive.

Lana has legit made a "I'm signing off" song on her last three albums, surely at this point the reality of the situation isn't lost on some fans. She ain't going anywhere.

I know this is an old forgotten thread, but I found my old phone and I was able to retrieve the pictures on there. Long story short: here are a couple of shots I took that night (sorry if the quality is a bit iffy and also I've hidden my face and my friends' face because I'm too shy to post that on here ). Here are the altered pictures: The Endless Summer Tour was honestly amazing, her best tour in my honest opinion.

I feel like that's quite an unpopular opinion, but I'm actually obsessed with that title. I hope the album has that lush 60s type of sound (maybe with a touch of psychedelic rock) à la 'Nancy & Lee' especially on 'Summer Wine' or 'Some Velvet Morning' or even like 'We Have All The Time In The World' by Lewis Armstrong (can you just imagine Lana even covering that one). Because that's totally what I'm getting from 'Chemtrails Over The Country Club' and also judging by the couple of old movies pictures and videos she has posted on Instagram lately. Old school is what Lana does best in my opinion.

I co-signed this.
