its funny you mention that because I have the exact opposite reaction to that. I LOVE that the bitch is using proper diction. We love a technically proficient singer. maybe its my choir and vocal lesson background but I appreciate it when a singer actually says the full word and doesnt trail off without the last consonant.

LOL lollastockholm doin the lords work and gonna make her actually have to rehearse and perform a new song

Exactly. Old money is stunning and one of the great songs in her repertoire and it’s lyrics successfully evoke that tragic old Hollywood romance, but that’s because it lists a bunch of stuff that fits that aesthetic. It works very well, like recalling isolated images from a dream or a distant memory but I don’t think it digs as deep as hope. Anyways, the fact that she hasn’t posted a third IG post has brought me back down to reality a bit. I hoped she was going to give us a little more of a teaser over the weekend of something. Something alluding to the fact that something’s coming. The fact that she hasn’t just means we are literally where we’ve always been, just with one extra snippet to add to the collection. I’m not as agitated, though, because the only thing that ever got me down was the nagging bit in my head that was scared it really was scrapped or that it’s been reworked extensively and neither of those thing seem to be the case.

Lana drop the album on your birthday challenge I’m a fickle bitch and my hope is restored. I’m done telling myself I’ll be let down I’ll just live in my deluded ignorant fantasy.

it’s too much. Those two posts a week before her festival circuit and her birthday that just happens to also be the first official day of summer. She wouldn’t possibly give the fans everything we’ve been screaming for and actually finally reveal the details... ...would she?

I kind of agree with the talk of ~artistic development~ while simultaneously thinking it’s all bullshit. You make music you feel and that you’re passionate about and hope others feel passionate about it. If she hasn’t grown in a way you like or if she hasn’t even grown at all, you move on and leave her music to those who aren’t tired of it yet. She hasn’t grown much lyrically that’s true, but why are we just calling this out now, 6 albums in? I’ve always viewed her albums as largely about the same Lana, same problems, but with a different lens. We’ve had pop Lana, rock Lana, now we are getting singer songwriter Lana. I’m stoked because piano is the most superior instrument (totally fact and not just my opinion at all ;p) and I love the vibe she is going for on the songs. I’ve never looked to Lana for her lyrics anyways, her voice just makes me feel lots of beautiful things. I certainly don’t expect she’ll ever start pumping out poetry like Joni and Bobby d. We are also basing most of our discussion on an album we haven’t heard yet so... lol

Ultraviolence has a 74 on Metacritic and honeymoon has a 78, those are both pretty good scores. Where’s the poor critical reception? The only era that wasn’t not at least mildly positive was BTD.

We are all fully jaded at this point lol. I am 100% here for the Lana piano album so I’m not disappointed in the snippets sound AT ALL, it’s already probably one of my favorites. I just can’t get excited for nothing again. Which is probably what is going to follow. We don’t want snippets. We are dying for something real.

Ok Lana tomorrow give us more info thanx. This was nice but I don’t trust you enough anymore. You have recently made me expect the worst, and a snippet is not going to cut it anymore. We want deets. We NEED deets. Don’t fuck it up. I don’t doubt she will disappear for another eternity. At least we know it’s not cancelled I guess.

Ok Lana you served us some HOT fucking tea. Now give us the third insta post with the tracklist, album cover, and release date. Thank you. (It sounds amazing obvi, my hunch that this will b my favorite Lana album is stronger than ever rn)

I’ve never hated someone and loved someone so much at the same time. This bitch. Like, she HAS to know what she is doing. She’s being cheeky and it gives me faith that old Lana isn’t gone. Like, she wouldn’t make an obviously inflammatory post like that if that album wasn’t coming sometime right??? RIGHT??

Not me getting my hopes up again. She’s not gonna post anything good. She’s not gonna post anything good. She’s not gonna post anything good. She’s not gonna post anything good.

Lana quick make 2 more posts about NFR to even out your insta again DO ITTTTTT NOWWWWW

I feel like using songs like roses bloom for you and bartender on a tracklist make it wayyyyyyy too fake sounding. Songs I don’t think will ever see the official light of day.

I support that HIAB is actually the title track train of thought. But yeah obvs that person is full of shite.

It’s the only good song on the album so give sis some help. (I kid....)

Doin Time is nice but I hate it out of unadulterated, unapologetic, undeserved spite.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RjOUEOBaAgY https://youtu.be/RjOUEOBaAgY Tori Amos- Your Cloud Literally a goddess. This album is so insanely good to me and I love every song, though this one took me FOREVER to get into. The lyrics are stunning though. Edit: I’m an idiot and can’t seem to get those to just be videos right now so whatever

Ah, gotcha. I must’ve missed that bit. In any case I assume at least the book hasn’t been scrapped as it’s just been brought to light in Vogue Italia.

If it’s scrapped and she is just going to pretend it was never a thing THATS where I draw the line. I’d be officially done with her. The disrespect would just be too much. I’ll keep West Coast and Shades of Cool and forget the rest. Wasn’t there an article saying the book comes out NEXT year? She could be so silent because it’s (the album) now coming MUCH later??? She has maintained she wants the book out first. I’d absolutely hate it and not be pleased but it’s a slightly more optimistic take than it’s scrapped. In any case, festivals start soon and she can’t hide from fans with questions then, at least not as easily as now. We deserve answers.

I suppose I’m less concerned with how he feels and more about what he knows, if anything.

Shall we ask?

Yeah, I truly wish I could force myself to not give a shit about this but for some reason I’ve already dug too deep with this one. It’s fate and my fate are now entwined.

I wish I still had this level of hope (aka delusion, I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be harsh sounding). I remember when it was Norman Rockwell’s birthday I felt so sure she had to mention something considering the album is named after him. Honestly, since MAC and the initial mention of NFR, this whole wait has felt like it’s own lifetime separate from my actual life. At first with those September songs, it was spring. The promise of new music AKA the promise of life and beauty and fun and peace, even if it was peace that lasted just as long as the record was spinning. Then January came and with it, hope. The proverbial summer of our NFR wait. We had bountiful snippets and live-streams of her and jack in the studio. Everything was going beautifully. Then all of a sudden it trailed off, and autumn came. The bounties of summer withered and with it, our hope of paradise. We are now clearly in the dead of winter. There is a stillness but we are not at rest. A bitter cold wind runs through these forums.

I <3 this I get MAC- a soft golden yellow VB- a kind of dusk fusion of evening orange and blue Hope- Black and white like a spotlight through the dark HiaB- lilac Cinnamon- sparkles in the dark In your Car- a rich, deep, golden yellow HtD- grey
