well that's because paradise and tropico weren't intertwined until the summer of 2013

That is not true.

They were intertwined since November 2012.

Another theory: She listed songs for possible inclusion in the film and the EP that she thought would fit with Bel Air and Gods & Monsters before settling with I Talk to Jesus before scrapping it from the tracklist.

the notebook picture is from january 2013 and production on the film didnt start until summer 2013, at one point the film and the album were going to go together but the music wasnt ready so lana decided to sit on the music metaphorically for a while and now we have ultraviolence

 

at one point I Talk to Jesus was going to be on the Tropico EP but was left out for unknown reasons

I don’t believe that to be honest.

I think most of the TROPICO tea is inferred from that one picture and song metadata, so nothing that is ACTUALLY confirmed.

It definitely wasn’t a coincidence that Lana posted a Bel Air visualizer with a Tropico film teaser in the description AND talked about a Bel Air and Gods & Monsters video both in November 2012 (before the studio notes picture was taken).

TROPICO

1. Old Money
2. Black Beauty
3. Guns And Roses
4. Lake Placid
5. Summertime
6. Melancholia

8. Pink Champagne
9. Elvis
10. Earthquakes
11. Money & Power
12. Axl Rose
13. Preacher

the entire point of tropico was also to align her persona with legends like Marilyn, Jesus, Elvis...

Oh interesting point! Would make even more sense then…

i guess this is the tracklist then!

 

im not 100 percent on it being axl rose though bc i swear i saw someone say the axl rose rework is from LFL/NFR/HM and not UV/Tropico... but would love to be proven wrong and i dont think anyone has Preacher ddddd

It would kinda make sense for her to revisit Elvis AND Axl Rose (two laptop demos from 2008) for the 2013 project. Especially cause she was romantically involved with him in 2012.

Could it possibly be fake diamond but shortened?!

No… her A just looks weird. The second letter is an x but rather stretched. It’s most likely Axl Rose.

It’s Axl Rose

it wasn’t made up lana literally wrote a tracklist  draft inside of a notebook dhshdhs

Tropico was the original title of Ultraviolence (album) before she renamed it

Most likely not.

We know she uses "working titles" for albums that, in her mind, capture the vibe or the meaning of the project at that time. White Hot Forever, Rock Candy Sweet, etc.

Tropico was never going to be the album's title, because she had already decided to give that name to the short film she was preparing for 2013. She just used it because she felt the concept she had in mind at that time matched the project she was working on. 

If the LDR Album Process Discussion thread is too long for you:

In January 2013 Lana was photographed with Rick Nowels while recording songs for her sophomore album. Her notebook had a list of songs on the side of it with an underlined working title, "Tropico" at the top. During an interview in November 2012 she mentioned that Cola would be the second single from Paradise and that she really hopes to release short films for Gods & Monsters and Bel Air.

What's weird is, that the visualizer for Bel Air released in November 2012 had this in the description: "i lost my reputation, i forgot my truth. But i have my beauty and i have my youth. Tropico the film, coming next year."

That leads us to conclude that TROPICO was really just a placeholder name for the then unnamed project but it might be linked conceptually to the stuff she was recording at that time, knowing how Tropico had strong biblical and spiritual imagery.

This is the track list:

Tropico

Old Money

Black Beauty

Guns & Roses

Lake Placid

Summertime

Melancholia

Jesus

Pink Champagne

Elvis

Earthquakes

Axl Rose

I wanted the cover to look like a vintage movie poster...not sure if it fits the vibe of the songs but that's the one I'm using for now (until I change my mind again).

Okay I need your help guys...Am I getting this right?

2012

2013

my only problem with the tracklist below is I can’t imagine it working in actuality for tropico because none of the productions match at all?

• Old Money
• Black Beauty
• Guns and Roses
• Lake Placid
• Summertime
• Melancholia
• I Talk To Jesus
• Pink Champagne
• Elvis
• Earthquakes
• Money Power Glory
• Hollywood 

It's really just a demo assembly of previously recorded material that she probably planned to rework anyway. Maybe the title "TROPICO" was just a placeholder and nothing to be taken seriously.

Is the Old Money demo that leaked from late 2012 or early 2013?

So, the James Ford Mixes of Fine China & Yes to Heaven...what year are they from? Were they done for possible inclusion on UV or HM?

please post the ultraviolence ones!!!

Your prayers have been answered! My hard drive has been fixed and I can finally access my old artwork and create new ones without limitations again!

I proudly present:

Ultraviolence Era

(note: The discs are meant to be CDs that look like vinyls)

Let me know if you have any requests for further covers!  

This is an instant skip and it’s not only because of its religious content but also because at the end it builds up a transition that ends abruptly. It doesn’t even blend into Candy Necklace. That, imo, makes it incredibly pointless.

The subreddit is just dramatic, if there wasn't the interlude they would complain about something else. They had meltdowns for weeks after the Taylor Swift collab 

For a good reason. Taylor Swift is the devil in sheep's clothing.
