honestly that one sentence couldve changed the vibe of this whole era if she were to say it. but no, all she could think of is selfies and snippets! 

i feel like most people (or at least me) are actually frustrated about the lack of communication between her and the fans during the almost year between the release of the lead singles to the album announcement. she couldve just said she is facing some technical issues or whatever about the release of the album and not leave us all hanging with her posting her random car snippets and selfies instead - and that she definitely could control.

still wonder what made them suddenly cancel the release of fiily and tg, that was so random

honestly i wouldnt mind if she went 2 years without an album/new music announcement like she did between honeymoon and lfl.
but the fact that she released 2 singles, announced the album(!), and kept teasing snippets - made a lot of hype, and instead of keeping the hype going she let it die by not mentioning the album again for nearly a year later. 
 
theres a difference between not releasing music and not having an ongoing era, to starting an era + releasing singles + announcing an album and after that - not releasing and saying anything for long months later.

Yes, she could've said something like "it's too personal for me now to release it"

I'm excited to hear the reason why we had to wait 1 year for the album.

i agree, everyone here is just overreacting. the damage in sales the leak could possibly do is so minimal and irrelevant 

why would a leak make someone not buy an album? just like this leak, all released albums could be easily listened to for free, people buy albums to support the artist and not to just listen to the album. if you want to support someone youll buy their album whether its leaked or not

I just wish people had a little more respect for the people who chose not to hear the leak. A special Spoilers Thread could be a good idea. Remember, it is still the PRE-Release Thread.

Did you listen to those leaks? That shit wouldn't make anyone run to cancel their orders, trust me

Exactly my point. Lana has a cult following and her fans care about supporting her and having a collectible item. This is not about "buying an album to listen to it", this is about so much more.

I think she meant you don’t become a new person, your shit & demons follows you everywhere. New beginnings are bullshit

if you want to listen to the leak, then go ahead and listen to it.
if you want to listen to the album when it is officially released, you can do that.
if you think the 13 year old should be guillotined, then whatever. you're wrong, but whatever.
if you think the grandparents should be put on house arrest, whatever. you're wrong, but whatever.
if you think Ben and Ed suck, think that.
if you want to suck Ben and Ed, go ahead.
 
this thread is 3266 pages long. rest. take your iron supplement. feed your cats. brush your teeth. stream Born to Die.
 
In the meantime, I will be temporarily locking this thread until August 29th.

the fact that the one time she had a solid release plan this era it fucked up

About the leak, as I've said before here--c'mon. It's 2019. Everything leaks.
 
LDR, Jack and Interscope, if they have any sophistication at all--and they do--expect/anticipate the album to leak. They're mentally and emotionally prepared.
 
It's not as if it they were planning to release it in late August and it was leaked in March or April. It leaked a few weeks before its release date, and if they were really concerned and really cared, then they would be ready to  rush release it the moment it leaked. And they apparently haven't done that. 
 
No fan is going to be happy with the LQ phone version. They're almost all going to buy the album regardless, less they don't care for it at all. 
 
So maybe $30 to $40 thousand has been lost to them, which is peanuts to them in the scheme of things. They're all millionaires many times over.
