in case anyone needed an agnostic existentialist anthem / bittersweet love song

in before GPSOTSOMFWHDSF is the name of the record (I doubt it but can y’all imagine lol)

I have no idea if the lyric is related to Lana at all but genuinely think “SOMF” could be “___ of my friends” or “sins of my father.” I’m excited!!

something happen with confirmed connection to Lana challenge

I just woke up but here’s my first (unserious) guess: God, please save only the souls of my friends who hear devils singing faithlessly.

you’re probably right, i fear….unless an insider would like to say otherwise edit: actually I wouldn’t want to know because I like surprises, but an insider should say *something* lol

I doubt this is the case, but I’m bored, so here’s a random thought: Maybe Ben wasn’t trolling when he reposted that fan theory about Blue Banisters being a double release (maybe alongside the covers album?), and that’s why he recently specified we’d see “at least” a solo record. Maybe the second project wasn’t ready or they decided it would fit better with her next project. To me, at least, it makes sense that Lana might save something as special as a double release for what she considers her tenth studio album. Blue Banisters was a relatively quiet release, and if LDR9/10 is indeed the “masterpiece” BoZ was referencing, it would make sense to further build the hype with a second album alongside it. This could also make sense if we consider the fact that we have a few indications the album is finished, but we know (for some reason) that it isn’t ready. Is it a reach? Definitely

On January 3rd, the LDR9 Speculation & Discussion Thread experienced a short-lived but memorable event coined “SlimeGate.” After a barrage of slime-related content and discussion during one of this site’s more unhinged periods (notably prior to the infamous lustforlife’s banning), the posts were eventually moved to their own thread. Although it may be considered a less prominent “gate” in the history of LanaBoards, some still have engrained remnants of memory from this former era.

imagine the meltdowns when we actually have a few crumbs of information…we’ll hit 20,000 pages i fear…

here ya go!

I’m still very skeptical about insiders outside of BoZ and probably Eclipse, personally I’d love to be wrong, but I feel like most alleged insiders haven’t spoken up until after we’ve gotten news/confirmation, and even what’s been said prior has been either vague or can be reasonably assumed (collabs with artists she’s recently worked with, delays, etc.). I feel like it would incredibly easy to say something (like a *reasonably* long acronym…such as DATMIMBC for White Dress) that is both specific and nearly irrefutable upon the record’s release, especially given the high possibility that the record is already complete. I love speculating and the idea of insider information keeping the hype up for this thread, but I think almost everyone is as much in the dark about LDR9 as we are.

I would love this, honestly. I love when she weaves in her educational background and interest in philosophy/metaphysics (which often centers around time), and Burnt Norton - Interlude is one of my favorite uses of this. I’d love to see something similar on LDR9. I’d adore an existential-centered track given how much of her art has focused on youth—almost like something akin to Fleetwood Mac’s Landslide. We‘ve gotten tastes of it on songs like Venice Bitch (getting older, watching the neighborhood kids, etc.), but I’d love to see her fully embrace that theme for a track…or multiple (I also think she would absolutely KILL a cover of A Pirate Looks At 40 by Jimmy Buffett after hearing If I Die Young, but I realize that’s probably a severely unpopular opinion.)

Random but if people start looking through her website again, can we put the (potential) album art/significant info in a spoiler? I don’t want another COCC incident…

I’m inclined to say Honeymoon, particularly with the production of songs like Swan Song, MTWBT, GKIT, and TBD As intricate and cinematic as the instrumentals are, I feel like they have also have a degree of subtlety that would pair well with her more intimate vocals and songwriting as of late. Now, if I had to pick a specific song (rather than an entire record), I’d probably pick Ride or Born To Die; they’re grandiose, warm yet heartbreaking, and have enough pop sensibilities to be playable regardless of my mood

so what track are y’all claiming? I’m feeling Track 2

me telling myself you’re being sarcastic about no announcement & not her stanning Billie’s relationship

I’m doubtful anything happens today but I’d love for insiders to prove me wrong

Never thought I would read those words next to one another…

Wait what ads??? I think I missed something if they were album-related

Dreaming in No Color would be an interesting title given her interview comments + the black & white photoshoot. It could very easily translate to a vintage or nostalgic feel, fit well with winter/icy aesthetics, pair with a dark/bleak/haunting tone, etc. I doubt that’s what it stands for, but I like to dream

plz don’t let them hear this

this thread rn

when a scat attack happens tomorrow & the news we get is an Instagram story update about the theft situation

this thread is slowly reaching the degree of chaos in the old Euphoria/WCE thread….the energy is palpable

me with my edible tomorrow after I sacrifice my mental soundness for LDR9 news edit: omg @xxmissdaytonaxx our minds
