boom like that

the fact that we went straight to a pre-release thread.. wheww..

can't believe she announced the album like 12 hours ago and still no lead single. flop queen i'm unstanning

UV and HM release time frame tease

damn  20+ pages in the post release thread, the alice thingy and then this... this woman is so weird, absolutely nothing for like 10 months and then everything in the span of 1 week
the fact that we have a pre release thread again  i'm so sorry for everyone's mental health 

what the fuck did i miss when i was sleeping omg what is this thread

The Guardian and Telegraph can go FUCK THEMSELVES. They did her so bad and fucked up her Metacritic score, I cannot fucking believe

That review is another generic "All of Lana's music sounds the same, no matter how different it sounds" review. She gets one or two every album she releases, still plagued by this idea that creating a world and inhabiting a character is reductive rather than expansive... To me it screams a lack of critical thinking and understanding... And a total disregard for the way the culture has changed in the last 7-8 years and how that has impacted her lyrics, singing, aesthetics, etc... Even listening to the music alone, the production, melodies, lyrics, and themes have marked departures from older "Lanaisms" if he stopped to actually listen/think about things... The "lead" single, MAC is literally her reclaiming this narrative that she's perpetually depressed, tortured femme fatale... Hope is her clarifying her journey in a way that she's never done before...
 
Let me stop 

I think a lot of critics have had to eat their words since BtD. It's delicious 

I just want to say before the flood of positive acclaim for this album comes out...
 
Don't forget that these are the same publications who publicly crucified her at the start of her career. She was so discouraged after Paradise that she vowed to never make music again.
The acclaim is well deserved and long overdue. 

aka sends her regards 

Do you think she'll finally release Serial Killer in this one? 

Maybe other people complained about it but I honestly love piano ballads haha. If I remember everyone complained about the first snippet of cinnamon girl because they found it boring while I was bopping to it. I personally think that a stripped back version would've made the song better but in time I think I'll like the official release. It just took me by surprise that they took another direction with the song LOL.

Bartender is just incredible

Me when I discovered that there's a new pre-release thread again

I'm-
 
 
 

The fact that I've read every single page of 3840 pages of NFR pre-release and ready to do it again for 5000 pages 

The fact that not a single person here believes her release date estimation shows that even OLD CLOWNS CAN LEARN NEW TRICKS. Bullshit will not be accepted anymore, NFR era taught us.
This is really going to be her baddie album, I expect a feat with her insta gals 

Okay, I'm gonna speculate, and ofc I'm probably wrong, but whatever:
 
She's followed a few country musicians on insta lately, and she's still got "Hey Blue Baby" and that other song up her sleeve, so I wouldn't be surprised if this album is country-ish.
 
I'm not gonna say I'd be super thrilled about it, but eh.

Lana’s 35th studio album, Cooking With Melted Spatulas, has just been announced in 2095. The original fans take this chance to leave their radiation bubbles to plug in their iPhone 83 chargers to use the monthly allowance of .2 watts of electricity their countries government allows them - They visit lanaboards.com and type these sacred words through their hazmat suit...
“Yosemite and Roses Bloom for You will be on this one, I can SENSE it.” then they die of exposure.

The fact that she said “I’m really excited right now. I don’t wanna take a break” gives me hope that Jack inspired her again. She got writer’s block after LFL and she’s already doing a new album now so fuck

I see it only took 5 pages for psychosis to set in

Dear Lanz,
 
PLEASE HAVE A FUCKING PLAN. IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE, MAKE ONE.
 
Sincerely,
 
Inhabitants of the Milky Way galaxy

a full year of emotional cock and ball torture, and I thought we had finally reached the end of the road, but Mistress Del Rey said no, Sad Gays, it never ends, and laughed wickedly as she brought out the paddle, it never ends, it's White Hot Forever 

It still depends on the artist, it's rarely objective. Ariana didn't get a 86 because her album was incredible. I'm sure reviewers were like "oh my god she broke up with her boyfriend and wrote an album about that such an empowering woman! And she must be so sad! Let's give her amazing scores because she's also the biggest pop star at the moment"
On the other hand, reviewers with Lana are often like "why the fuck is she experimenting again? Can't she just be normal and do BTD all over again? Where is even the BTD Lana? Let's give her average scores because we're too stupid to understand what she's really about and that she's grown up"

Ugh NFR better get a higher score than LFL
