Anthem

So do we know what the back cover of the album will look like yet? I've kind of assumed it would be the tracklists she posted on her IGs but they don't really fit...

I don't hear the Lorde in Halsey (and I don't hear the Lana in Lorde). Like CIMB said too, I don't really hear the Lana in Halsey besides NA/NA.

I really don't think its going to leak or get sold anywhere early. Seems like they're extra serious about stores minding the release date.

Look at the way the paper is cut and bent you can literally make one for less than $3 that looks better than that.

Yeah but were those not illegally taken from him and put online? You can't really blame him for that it if that's the case.

Why do you dislike Francesco? He's never really come across as bad to me and Lana seems happy with him. I'm just curious.

I skipped a bunch of pages but did @@ilovetati post his review? I was looking forward to that ( )

I really like Halsey, I've had Hurricane, Drive, Castle, and Gasoline on repeat for days. But I have to say the New Americana and National Anthem similarities are still so cringey.

@@ILostMyself Bless you for posting the full lyrics on a bunch of these threads!

Well shit. Oh well, I was on the fence about it anyways so I doubt I'll go. I'm definitely not going all the way to Atlanta for it.

The CD box set is November, the vinyls should be out around the release date lol.

I think I've decided to wait until my vinyl comes in and have my own listening party in my apartment! I wanted to do this for another album that came out this year but instead I listened to the leak early and then regretted it so I'm going to make a true event of it this time. I even stopped listening to the tracks and haven't listened to MTWBT yet so that it's all still exciting I remember when UV came out that it was hard to sit through the four songs in a row that we already had and the rest of the album felt out of place the first several times through so that's another reason I just want it al at once haha.

Wait so are there versions of the vinyl that aren't red? I thought they all were.

I believe I saw somewhere that it was 3pm local, so it'll happen 4 times in the US.

I preordered from both her US and UK store right after TLY was released. I got TLY and HBTB from the US store when the order went through but no HM or MTWBT since. The UK store sent me nothing, despite charging me for a digital album I didn't say I wanted to buy

I wonder if they will make Honeymoon in cassette. That's apparently the new hipster thing. The inner collector in me would want to but it seems so ridiculous that I don't know if I could.

I'm just glad there's not a home UGA football game. It would be impossible to get to downtown Athens where the UO is, much less being able to hear anything for the drunk people. Luckily its away.

Athens is a lot cooler though. But wow that's going to be a drive for you :/

@ Probably not, they just built a UO here in Athens that's only like 10 minutes from me so IF I go it'll be there. Better than driving an hour and a half to Atlanta lol although I could go and catch up with friends but my only transportation right now is a motorcycle so I'm thinking no ATL for me Im still so conflicted. If I knew it would be loud enough I'd probably do it.

So many of us that live in Georgia! You guys need to coordinate. Like choose one person to record Freak, one Art Deco, etc. so that we don't get multiple snippets of the same thing and people can relax and just listen when it isn't their song. Although, I am skeptical anyone is going to get any good recordings unless they have their speakers either loud-ish or somewhere near the floor/on the lower ground. Store music is so soft, I don't know if phones could rally pick it up but then again I've never tried.

When you realize West Cost and Florida Kilos are the "fast" songs from Ultraviolence...

I have a Lana collection so I preordered everything but the CD since I can just pick that up at a store.

Yeah I'm not too worried about it since I'm not listening to them right now anyways. I just thought it was weird.

Off of the lyrics so far I am speculating that Religion will be "I am your religion" versus "you are my religion"; a little more independent. I'm already connecting it with God Knows I Tried since that one was described as gospel inspired/sounding or however he worded it. I am trying to decide if I want to do the UO listening party. There is one 10 minutes from my house but I don't know if it'd be worth it because I'm just imagining it'll be so quiet. The alternative goal for me is waiting until my vinyl gets in and having my own little party as loud as I want in my home and that sounds a lot better. I'm just ready to hear the songs, I stopped listening to them a few weeks ago and still haven't heard MTWBT outside of the sampler Side note, why have I preordered the album and gotten two digital downloads supposedly and none of them have sent me HM or MTWBT yet? One of them sent nothing...

I can't say for 100% sure, I'd call and ask.
