Not to nitpick, but I've done three professional shoots in the past month. A simple, nice portrait would not be hard, but I do expect it will be a phoned-in selfie shoot. 
Also considering travel restrictions, it'll be whoever is around (Chuck).

chuck's only good shoot w lana is high by the beach
 
speaking of: I now feel inspired to go back to my MTWBT signature

literally my worst nightmare

yeah I would agree.  
The twitter hype and the public hate is kind of overshadowing it, but she definitely doesn’t not seem okay. Like you said, the allusions you’re Plath and the (possible) reveal of time in a mental hospital are not comforting. Also, yeah her mother’s day post was kind of off, so she clearly has issues with her mother. And then drugs, alcohol, depression, and shitty men seem to be a recurring thing in her life. And last we heard she had just broken up with sean...
 
I said in another thread I suspect she might be having a “mid life crisis” (that term makes me cringe but it’s the only one I can think of). She wanted to be married and be a mother by now, and tbh she’s nowhere near there. So I think she’s definitely taking things hard.

Overall I agree with you BUT I just wanna say I feel like she did calm down a lot since 2016/17 but lately she's been in a more troubled phase again - thinking of the mother's day posts and everything... they weren't dramatic to the world but for a family that's a REALLY bad thing to happen. And she's writing about Slyvia Plath so much and how she relates to her. That doesn't really sound happy to me. I think something's troubling her again.

i can't believe people think NFR is her best work when Honeymoon, Ultraviolence, and AKA exist

Having this album on the verge of being cancelled or postponed by the recent events has me thinking that maybe she shouldn't have announced it this early, and mostly at this chaotic month we're living. Would love to hear it, and hoping it has some kind of bass this time instead of rehash Born to Die beats as seen in Cinnamon Girl. Norman fucking Rockwell was a lovely album, yet it was a tender bore in some tracks. Lana should re-evaluate her sound and ask herself 'Is this as good as it gets?' because it seems she'll never reach peaks. So excited for COCC! I'm sure it'll be exquisite.

Yeah dude, like properly recorded and mastered balanced and atmospheric instrumentation and vocals are the absolute worst and most shallow aspects about Lana's albums pre-NFR. Don't you know?
 
Let's hope that on COCC Lana dives back into that. I looove shallow music.

I was listening to ultra violence today and it’s soo woozy as an album such a great record but very distorted and odd.theres tons of instruments but none are discernible or sharp they kinda blend together into this dreamy landscape and for a rock oriented record the guitars aren’t always in the forefront.money power glory and fmwupt are prime examples of this.

honestly, I think everyone would be more pleasantly surprised with her albums if we all stopped having such specific expectations lol. high expectations are not the issue, but expecting her to make a record that sounds like Ultraviolence or any of her other records EVERY TIME is only setting yourself up for disappointment. Lets just go in blindly and hope that whatever she gives us is capable of standing as its own piece of artwork. There are valid critiques of NFR! and LFL but in my opinion, comparing them to her previous work isn't really fair.

Overall I agree with you BUT I just wanna say I feel like she did calm down a lot since 2016/17 but lately she's been in a more troubled phase again - thinking of the mother's day posts and everything... they weren't dramatic to the world but for a family that's a REALLY bad thing to happen. And she's writing about Slyvia Plath so much and how she relates to her. That doesn't really sound happy to me. I think something's troubling her again.

that and the fact that she pretty much butchered the lyrics and flow of the song as well, her vocals on the chorus were not flattering at all, and she sounds so angry, unlike the unreleased version where her vocals sounded calm, pretty and sullen

while i think a lot of us fantasize about certain leaked unreleased making it onto a record, i truly hope everything on it is new. for some reason unreleased tracks sound much better when they STAY unreleased, it gives them some type of mystique...
tnbar being on NFR ruined the song for me, honestly.

I think she’s kinda lost her spark tbh. Her other albums are so unique and powerful. No one but Lana Del Rey could make an album like Ultraviolence, for example.
 
Meanwhile NFR was just so plain, generic. Tbh I find it boring. I understand she’s matured and it would ridiculous to expect her to just do one thing her whole career. She was a troubled young woman during her early career and her music reflected that, now she’s calmed down a lot, and the music reflects that too.
 
BUT that doesn’t mean you can never make an exciting song again, Lana. The music used to literally give people goosebumps, it was so raw and lush and out there. Now it just sounds filler on an album made by any other alternative/country artist.
 
hopefully her “I just want one piano and ukele to make this entire album” phase is over and she can go back to being a musical beast again.

After NFR, I just really want something more ... aggressive
