She will endlessly confuse me
 
just as soon as she settles into a folky singer songwritery sound and begins establishing roots with country music musicians she transitions to working with one of the most well known hip hop producers  
 
hate her. 

???what the fuck

banisters that are blue  

Mike: “I mean Lana I can't really talk about yet, you know I don't really talk about things before they happen.”
 
Also Mike:

 

MIKE DEAN
 

don’t mind me, just cleansing the thread 

@Jack Antonoff is a God has been really quiet ever since Jackoff left the picture 

I thought about it and I wonder if these arbitrary release dates of June 1st and July 4th were just another form of self-parody like the “album cover” to generate conversation around the album.
 
(Based on what Mike said about them not having finished anything, I’m not so sure about July 4th, and I think Lana usually knows whether or not she’ll have an album ready in time, especially when it’s this close). 
 
These release dates obviously keep us hooked on the album and while it may seem arduous on the surface, you have to admit that we’re always on this site, in this very thread. 

The day lana del rey allows L*dy G*g* to even LISTEN to one of her tracks in a recording studio is the day I leave. 

She's really a hard woman to keep track of

Yall are so- ?

I mean I guess it'll be out when it's out. 

but july pushback 'tho just a month. 
the vague descripts. 
no cocc promo. 

what is going on? 

Not Mike being as cryptic as Lana and only giving us hints 
 
 

bluuuue banisterss....uwu...

i love the way she says banisters lol "my banisteerrrrrrs blue"

The way she always tops herself. Truly amazing. 

i honestly don't even have the energy to try and piece everything together anymore, this has to be the most confusing pre release ever

I’m getting all Lana albums in the future are social experiments vibes 

Everyone go listen to Mike deans new album so that he will work with Lana more in the future. He gonna know it was the Lana stans that paid for his lunch ?? 

Waiting for someone to make a fake "leaked" tracklist with the Interscope logo on it to add to the realness  That's how you know it's almost album time
 

Probably no one cares anymore now that we're in a new era but I'm gonna throw some love to this masterpiece anyways because I never really posted my full review in this thread.  This album really is going to age sooo beautifully, everything about it is exquisite. It's very calming but also so detailed and dynamic. Peaceful but heartbreaking too.
 
White Dress really is one of the best songs I've ever heard. It just hits so hard every single time. One of the most beautiful songs to ever explore the feeling of nostalgia. I love the way she sings it, and the repeated references to music are so special. Unique and spectacular.
 
Chemtrails remains as brilliant as it was when it first came out. Like a tornado coming and throwing us into the deep end. The contrast between the lyrical appreciation of the simple aspects of life, while an unsettling feeling builds beneath the surface is just stunning.

Tulsa Jesus Freak is soo good. Even though it's one of the more upbeat tracks, it somehow is getting sadder to me as time goes on. Like a memory of a simpler time when she thought that things would be white hot forever, but it's just an illusion at this point. The way the autotune throws her voice off at the end makes me feel like it's a film reel that's been scratched and skipping, and the layering as the song progresses is so subtly chaotic.
 
Let Me Love You Like a Woman has been beautiful since day one, and works even better in context of the album. A really warm and lovely song.
 
Wild at Heart is one of my favourites to just blast and drift away to. It somehow evokes both David Lynch energy and Live Laugh Love at the same time. 
 
Dark But Just a Game is another favourite for sure. Everything about the production on this track is so perfect to me. Sweet w-whatever baby is so addictive, and the way the song switches between the deeper beats and the folkier chorus works so well. An incredibly strong rejection of fame.
 
Not All Those Who Wander is so warm and simple and perfect. There's definitely a bit of darkness beneath the surface that I can't fully grasp my head around, but it makes the song even more interesting because the overall sound is so gentle.
 
Yosemite is a definite standout, the climax of the album in some ways. One of her best songs ever that took a few listens to really hit but once it did, WOW. The chorus is so peaceful, but there's such a lingering sadness to the song that breaks my heart. The bridge is an easy highlight of her whole discography, I get chills every time.
 
Breaking Up Slowly is by far the most underrated track and it disturbs me to see some of the rude things some people say about Nikki Lane. This song is such a brutal gut punch right after Yosemite, and an absolutely crucial moment on the album. Nikki's inclusion is so important, like she's a friend who comes to help through the darkest moment of this journey, or like Lana's taking comfort by listening to the radio and feeling a connection to the tragedies of her idols like Tammy Wynette. 
 
Dance Til We Die is so awesome and the perfect place for the album to be leading to. I love the shoutouts to the other icons, it feels like she's rightfully claiming her own seat at the table. My only criticism is that I wish the bridge was longer because it's just so good, but I get why it's not. This song is so needed after the heartbreak of the previous two tracks, and a beautiful ode to the friendships that get us through the darkest times. 
 
For Free is a really beautiful cover and I think it closes the album out perfectly. So much of this album is about Lana's relationship to fame, and this song explores those themes really beautifully. By inviting Zella and Weyes to join her, she's really embracing the community of musicians that she's been seeking for so long and has finally found, and is now extending it even further to others.
 
I love this album so much, it's 10's across the board for me and I am so thankful that it's a regular part of my life now, and will be forever. 
 

lana lives at this intersection now and honestly i love it
