When lana sing video games at the jimmy fallon show and says NOTHING about COCC... 

In closing, because I know I’m beating a dead horse and spamming this thread 
 
if 
 
A) her debut album was NFR 
or
B) I was introduced to her with NFR 
 
I wouldn’t be as big of a fan of hers as I am now. Her first 4 albums are definitely a different sound and world than NFR, and my music taste falls more along the records that made me fall in love with her and her world. I’m not saying NFR is a bad album, it’s just vastly different than the world she had built and not so much my cup of tea. Do I want her to go back to an old sound? Heck no! I want her to evolve and grow. But if anything LMLYLAW is NFR 2.0 and I can’t help but be a little more disappointed. 
 
After QFTC and her instagram post of her stripping in Tropico with the caption ‘#fuckoff’ I got really hopeful. THATS what I want. Bad bitch, idgaf vibes. I’m hoping Chemtrials touches on that more and is a return to form. 

I definitely don’t think BTD is her best, and I don’t want a BTD 2.0 (or 2.0 of any record she’s made) she’s had so many iconic lyrical moments throughout her career (her song writing definitely didn’t just magically stop with BTD), it just seems like the girl who came full circle and sang “Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind I want to get off but I keep riding the ride” went back to singing “lying on your chest, in my party dress, I’m a fucking mess” like...where’s the fire.
 
this is the unpopular opinion thread and I know me not liking NFR is a very unpopular opinion.
 
she went from having lush strings, ambiance sprinkled throughout her songs (God Knows I Tried had crickets, 13B had SO many little sound effects and noises that made the song so full) and NFR had strings that don’t add a thing to the overall song and hardly any kind of beats (CG being an exception, I would have killed for a full song that sounds like the last minute)
 
I can be critical and still like her
 
edit: plus, the two songs I’m quoting as saying I miss aren’t even BTD. They’re paradise (which yes is an EP but also feels very much like it’s own body if work)

yeah that’s it! We may have found out about the covers eventually but I’m pretty sure (and I could deff be wrong!) that for a moment we were excited to be getting at least one new song 

i have flashbacks to when she was doing the one show (I can’t for the life of me remember the name) before NFR came out and we ALL said the same things and the only two songs she sang was Doin Time (which yes, was on the album) and Break Up With Your Girlfriend. I still say we aren’t in the clear until we see what she’s performing Monday because things that make sense and seem logical just don’t apply to the good sis 
 
I do think there’s a better chance of LMLYLAW than a cover, but we have noooo idea

What time do the performers usually perform? I’ve never watched Jimmy Fallon (he’s never been my fav) and it says that the show starts weeknights at 11:35EST. So is she gonna perform before midnight and release the song midnight Tuesday? Drop the song and video before the performance?
 
my clown clothes and wig is off but my face is still a little white and I’m rocking the nose 

Lana finally promoting Norman. The serve that would be
Right? I want to count the days

Lana on Monday *walks on stage*-
 
‘ I was reading Slim Aarons and I got to thinking that I thought‘. 
 
What a nightmare that would be ?

when jimmy fallon says :
singing her song from the brand-new documentary...
 

I might be wrong but I’ve never heard of anyone perform a lead single live for the first time without the song being premiered at least a few days before or a mv. I personally doubt she’ll sing Chemtrails 

As excited as I was to get COTCC, I still am really excited to get this cute little ep soon!

The lack of communication on Lana’s part is getting super frustrating. I know she lives her own life and has flat out said she doesn’t care about losing fans, but it wouldn’t kill her to communicate even a little. It’s always been a problem with her but it’s getting increasingly bad. First the September 5th date coming and going with her saying nothing, the book signing where she threw two days around, the instagram live on Election Day where she flat out says “I was planning on making an official announcement but this will do”
 
and now her performance planned for Monday. Even if she is going to sing Chemtrails (which I’m finding more and more unlikely) she could at least post a ‘Catch you Monday’ to announce it. 
 
I’m also in agreement with the others who say she’s really losing what made her music unique. The woman who sang her Pussy tastes like Pepsi cola, had to touch herself to pretend her man was there, was being led to war with her man’s brilliant direction...gone, now her mans just being a jerk :/

imagine though if she pulls another how to disappear and performs a COCC song that we have to wait for, for like 6 months.... pain. 

I probably came off ruder than I intended. All I’m trying to say is it’s completely okay that some people see NFR as an amazing body of work and don’t see the criticisms I have for it. But at the same time, some of us can’t help but feel disappointed that part of the Lana appeal seemed (to me, not saying everyone thinks the same say) to fade away a little. It isn’t just her lyrical content, I want beats in her songs, I want strings, I want ambiance, I want to really feel like I’m in her world. Norman was good storytelling wise (and having Violets tie into it was an amazing touch) but it is slightly annoying that you can’t say you miss all these things without being labeled a BTD fanboy who just needs to ‘move past’ the album that initially hooked me. 

If she’s performing the cover song, literally post that Red single cover for YNWA, say how excited you are to perform it for the first time, boom. That’s it. That is all that needs to be done and we wouldn’t be running around in circles saying ‘OMG COCC FRIDAY’ (yes I’m well aware of one of those people, but I crash a lot faster and see through the hype quickly)

and then dec. 14th was just another day 

but WHAT are YOU saying luv don’t be shy 

So she's performing Summertime The Gershwin Version instead?
 

i never said that
