is this the lanaboards version of a family meeting? who gets the talking pillow first

um.. sorry to be repetitive but I THOUGHT WE WERE GETTING A DOUBLE VIDEO TODAY 

masterpiece. i think i'd enjoy the album even more if it came with mcnuggets, a cheeseburger and large fries 

i thought today was double video day where is it where where 

i still don't understand her sparse dates at all, i realise more will be added but she's packin some decent notoriety at this point or maybe i've been on this site too long and i'm losing awareness of how big she is 

i thought the trailer looked interesting but for the love of god she used her cover in it i wanted 100% lana realness. she is such a fucking troll 

well throw me around like a hot potato i remember when only yesterday everyone was stanning again 

There's certainly a bit of a country-pop (or generally pop with some country influence) revival right now. Aside from the song you mentioned, there were albums like Golden, Joanne, Golden Hour...

true when i think about it also lil nas x, i just... don't think including them would've necessarily been a bad decision aside from them fitting on the album 

honestly..if there is a deluxe I hope we get them on there. they sounded great and its a serious crime we might never hear studio versions. 

this is dry as hell, but also... if we're gonna go there from a marketing perspective they're pretty different to anything on offer right now. only example i can really think of is mark ronson and miley's nothing breaks like a heart. granted i'm not a big lover of either of them, but the minute the latter was released after i'd heard hey blue baby and i must be stupid for being so happy i immediately thought they could be quite ahead of the game. looked like there may be a country influenced revival 

what the actual fuck 

mum? 

I do too! No hate on Hope, i just remember lana said something about the end of the album or last few tracks being surfer rock or something like that lol. Hope is great, but it is one that I have to be in the mood for

i hope this being a final track means we're getting even more albums and a potentially less messy era. call me greedy 

i know i'm unpopular here and i do feel we're finally being fed, but i would've enjoyed the inclusion of hey blue baby and i must be stupid for being so happy. granted i realise they wouldn't have necessarily fitted in with the rest of the album but i'm into them 

ngl i wanted david la chappelle so badly, he would've killed it and for me what's frustrating is... there's la chappelle influence in there, it's just not anywhere near as good as it could've been

There is literally nothing to hate about this cover. It’s instantly iconic, and I could see it as a poster decades from now like many of the abstract or campy album covers from the 60s and 70s.

 

And it fits so well thematically for me. As I said earlier, the land is burning in the background, she’s fleeing, and inviting us to come along with her. Think about the MAC lyrics. I’m fascinated by how the title track lyrics and the concept of the male ego will play in.

i think we could have every single one of those concepts and still have a cover that was better shot and conducted by someone more professional and talented than chuck. that's my only argument at this point

you know when i hear this baby in its entirety i will most likely be overcome with emotion. messy era, 80% of it already heard, dislike of doin' time and disappointing album cover aside 

why are people assuming because some would prefer a different cover they'd want a repeat of her old ones?! it makes no sense  

maybe don't personally criticise people for having a different opinion. i don't feel venom towards people who love it and i'm glad they do, some forget this is a goddamn messageboard and we're not all clones with the same views. grow up 

i love creative risks i just think chuck was 100% the wrong person to undertake it. stop giving your sister work cos she's your sister ffs. i thought we were gonna get some david la chapelle goodness 

WHO'S THE GUY ?

 

(I think the cover means that when America's burning you can take Lana's hand to follow her into her land, her own little America)

he doesn't look worried that america's burning tho tbf, just like he needs a poop and is a bit uncomfortable in the butt region 

Exactly how I feel. The whole posing is so awkward... Lana is really going for a photoshop campy mess this era. First Doin Time now this...

i get the comic book theme DOES have a cheap element, kitsch kinda is and it can be part of the cute charm but... i don't think it's done well and it seems so alien from the songs. the cover photo seems largely unrelated even to the lettering style. also the way it's shot makes the guy look so dominant as if he isn't just a model and is her collaborator or something. it's bad. plus he's on the back, he didn't need to be on the front wtf 

My issue with the cover is that neon garbage bag she’s wearing & how her head looks photoshopped onto her body. I don’t love the font but if she were wearing something different & not neon nails, it would’ve been 100 times less ugly.

 

I respect everyone’s opinions but if you genuinely think this cover is nice, I’m saving you a seat on my special chair: the electric chair.

also it was shot by chuck and i thought we'd established here that chuck's work just... isn't all that. i think everyone is drunk on new album feels. the composition is awkward, it looks kinda cheap. just no.

i... am disappointed by the album cover. looking forward to the album, but the cover is just weird. it looks like she's in a music duo. distracts from her. i wanted some ball busting lana only action plus it's more american flag bs 

ugh whatever that new logo is ugly and her hair is still short I'm unsatisfied

yeah have to say i'm not into the logo, looks like a 12 year old's art class project after googling graffiti art

fuck it, i love you. you fucked me so good i almost said i love you 

at least we're getting more concepts. love and fuck, i'm a pretty big fan of both 

i feel like everyone in here is collectively masturbating idk
