These are dark trying times, but it will happen soon

I want more hotness in this world, but the snippets shenanigans are dumb.

Everytime someone puts out a snippet, an angel loses its wings. Think about it.

it takes a village, people

We are so deprived, that was her thing and then she decided it wasn't anymore. Maybe the album trailers fitted in that "world building" narrative.

That seems more like some personal analysis/impressions fans have about this situation, I'll stick to what Lana and Dan have said on the matter. Besides, I believe most of the bullshit came from the record company, not within the recording studio itself.

I agree, her lyrics have definitely evolved since then, they are more intricate for sure (for the most part), but I think that great music is a mix of good lyricism and amazing/intricate production. Her production starting with NFR has been more lowkey for a lot of songs, which I think, lets the lyrics/words shine through better or breathe more perhaps? But I think that she can do both at once. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album.

Lana literally never said she didn't want to work with Dan Auerbach in the future though, yes they did fight while making the album, but from what they've both said in interviews, most of the "fighting" came from Dan believing in the project, but getting rebuked by the studio execs. He said that Lana stood her ground, which only made him respect her further as an artist. He said that after the fighting "they danced to the music". Also, Dan recently (well in 2022) said in an interview that he love making the album and would collab with her again. Besides, I couldn't care less that there was some tension while making this album, because it turned out to be fire. Making art isn't always butterflies & rainbows. Very interesting and enlightening articles on that topic: https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/dan-auerbach-lana-del-rey-challenges/?amp https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/dan-auerbach-on-working-with-lana-del-rey-it-was-amazing-188889/amp/

So brave, yet so true. I have changed my ways about him, especially with the latest tracks, but there was sense of symbiosis on her first three records that has yet to be reciprocated.

Snippets schmippets

"turn off the rest of our shows. XOXO"

The tunnel will collapse

Another day, another body/weight discussion. Some things never change.

Bold of you so assume she won't perform the same setlist and tweak it a little with maybe 2-3 songs off the next album.

I hope she actually tours North America this Summer/Fall, like another proper album tour like she did for Norman.

another review would've been nice, would give more perspective than what the known insiders have already spilled

They are on modqueue I think, and they decided against giving a review anyway.
