Alright who’s the sacrificial Walmart twink getting her hands on the new record early 

 
Note: I don’t advocate for this but we all know it’s gonna happen. Valid in participating Walmart’s. See official rules and regulations on slimytwink.com/rules. No purchase necessary. 

the way I keep hoping they ship my cassette earlier, I wanna be cassette boi so bad 

13 days... cassette girl happened 13 days before NFR was released  

Also I really don’t think Lana would be releasing an album she wasn’t proud of. She clearly has no problem not releasing albums she says she’s going to, so if she IS submitting one and releasing it and making videos of it, you know it’s going to be a serve. 

I really think she’s about to go hard on promo in the finals week or so... I don’t see how she wouldn’t. Like her management and the label seriously will not let her not do any promo. Unheard of. 
Manifesting a post tonight at a weird hour where we aren’t expecting it! 

I agree. Some stans also think everything she says is a reference to pop culture, fame, drama, drugs or alcohol, as if she didn't have a past, personal life or intimate feelings as just a human being.

People just need to stop hyperanalyzing everything she says tbh. She has said some questionable things in the past couple years, but there is literally nothing malicious about her approach.
 
I feel like that will ultimately push her away from the spotlight, like you said.

I get that! I personally love LMLYLAW, and I love folk/country music so I get the personal taste coming into play here, but in terms of the excitement - I think these times are just weird in general and so everyone’s feeling a bit wonky about everything right now. I  wrote something on the last page about how we’re feeling and maybe Lana is feeling that right now too. I don’t want to put words in her mouth either, but I feel like she’s said in her own way, that, like all of us, she’s been affected by this pandemic. We know Lana is quite perceptive and really responds to her environment so maybe there are things that are affecting how she’s doing things in her life, namely navigating this album campaign. It probably feels a bit treacherous to do things when the public has tore you to shreds.
 
I understand everyone’s concerns and hopefully that passion and excitement is reinvigorated as we get closer to the 19th! <3

exactly!! and honestly, imagine if lana wasn't releasing anything at all right now. we'd be going more insane. so even for those who aren't super excited, we should all be at least grateful to have some new music coming our way soon!! 

February flew by for me but this week (and especially today) seemed to be going super slow! I feel like we should be getting the album next week instead of having another full week before it comes out. I’m getting really nervous for this weekend and next week 
 
I do hope WD comes out next Friday to help accelerate the wait until the 19th. I also am really hoping for homemade TJF video to finally surface the 19th too! (Idc I love her homemade videos, even the not so good ones they seem very ‘in the moment’ and I love feeling like we’re getting a look into her life)

Of course, bestie! <3
Me too - especially after all the craziness of this past year, it’s going to feel so good to reintroduce something new into our lives! I love the idea of growing with music and inspiring change as a new album is released, especially when it’s an artist I love as much as Lana!! The fact that we’re less than 2 weeks away just has me feeling like I’m on the edge of something exciting coming my way and hopefully everyone reading this is able to find that in their lives too! 
 
We got this @LanaBoards ! <3

I remember when idiotic stans during the NFR era thought the black narcissist lyric was a reference to Azealia Banks and she made a comment like "this is why I don't participate in the culture" or something along those lines. I think with the crazy reaction to qftc and her other posts, she probably just wants to release music and go. Like Fiona Apple. I don't mind that approach tbh, but it's sad to see esp considering how much she used to interact with us.

yes bestie, thank you for being a positive light with me!! 
 
everyone's been on edge the past week, i think we're all anxious and frustrated waiting, but for some reason it's brought down excitement for some stans. idk. i'm more excited than ever. less than 14 days now, it's gonna fly by!!! 

Y’all I had a phone call with polish UMG a few days ago and we’re preparing such fun local promo for Chemtrails I’m actually super excited   the only thing that pisses me off is that Twitter suspended my Lanaism account for reposting a fucking California snippet off Lana’s Instagram in 2018 and I had huge plans in promoting this project worldwide on there… I already emailed them that we need this account for actual official promo but I don’t know if it’s gonna work :/

i haven't felt this excited in a long time. this album is EXACTLY what i needed during this past stressful year w covid.  idk how some of y'all aren't excited. i guess lack of promo plays a factor for some of you. idk. i care abut the music, the visuals and promo are just extra things to build hype. 

I’m obviously excited for the album, but I don’t think a lot of us feel the same sort of momentum building up as we did with previous releases, and I think that has to do with this pandemic to be honest. I know I’ve mentioned how it has affected our lives in this thread a lot, but I think it’s true.
 
We’re probably used to living our very-real-lives in between Lana’s deliverance of album-related news, tidbits, etc. Our face-to-face micro-interactions can inform so much of our inner dialogue, which ultimately affects the way we anticipate events in our life (like for example, I’m sure we mentioned briefly in passing how excited we were about Norman or Lust for Life to our friends, family, colleagues, etc.) and so I think this weird stagnant period in the status quo has really seen us fixated on Chemtrails as this “beacon” of sorts for the last 10 months - more so than we ever did with her past records. For a lot of us, our lives have migrated to a remote, online model and so when you think about it, it feels like there haven’t been any significant developments in our lives and we’ve been looking forward to the same things as we know them for basically an entire year. 
 
Funnily enough, despite Chemtrails being mostly done before this pandemic, I think it will explore what I’ve detailed up here - hopefully we’ll feel comforted by Lana during these times. Her affirmations for normalcy on the title track have certainly made me feel less alone in my navigation of the future during these daunting, unprecedented times!
 

to me it feels like the day before of a very exciting trip and you’re just packing all your stuff. and then when you’re done you’re just anticipating how the trip will go 

I’m just chillen 
 
I’m excited for the album and every song on it and I’m so stoked that we’re almost out of the ‘teens’ when talking about number of days left. Like we’re super close to single digits and that excites me enough

Hi!  Me too! It’s so surreal that we’re only 2 weeks away! 

I don’t know why we focus on promo more rather than Lana’s well-being and her ability to stay motivated this era. We’ve seen her mental health dwindle down as she got into more controversies, the body shaming, all her stuff getting leaked, and so much more. If it’s her choice to not do promo, then so be it. In my opinion, I find it very unlikely and I’m sure Lana and her label have ideas in mind like a virtual concert or something. It’s sad that what happened to her during this era might stick with her for a long time. All she needs to do is take a break from social media and focus on what she does best, writing music and poetry.

Remember when she announced White Hot Forever the day Norman came out... we had a pre-pre release thread that was so absurd but here we are! Two weeks away from the whole thing. We can't stop winning 

I'd say it was NFR. One of the things that I disliked about the album was how little attention they payed to her voice and how clumsy the mixing ended up sounding, with some exceptions. On the other hand, I truly enjoyed how her voice was treated on LFL, even if the album wasnt my favourite either. 

Y’all so quick to hate on the homemade music videos like they’re not a staple of her career  TJF home made video coming to serve! Kiss the budget goodbye ladies! 

I hope Yosemite sounds like a spritely waterfall pixie w a huge blowing horn that shoots out cool air and cinnamon body glitter. like. a sexy nature cupid god w an affinity for blue skies. 

march 19 would drive us crazier than march 5, that's why she chose that date
