    out of all of the options, i would choose off to the races, probably one of her greatest songs lyrically, it's so unique and vicious production-wise, i love how rich and intense it all feels, just the perfect song, west coast, pawn shop blues, and heroin are honorable mentions

    a little biased but such amazing and well-rounded choices :krylie:

    I rarely have LDR-related dreams, but last night I fell asleep viewing LB. 


    At the end of my dream, someone random I went to undergrad with (a Nicki Minaj stan actually) called me from a phone that randomly appeared, and he told me that Lana was ANGRY in this next record—like, tons of emphasis on the word:eartha2:

    Right before I got the call, someone was refusing to give her dog back to her, and she canceled her live performance on a small wooden canoe over it:true:

    not gonna lie, i don't quite like the conversation surrounding her getting older and becoming "boring", a "soccer mom" and a "country grandma" just because she takes a more mellow and mature approach to her sound, i would actually agree that i'd love for her to try different things and experiment more, especially after blue banisters, which i felt like was very lacking, but at what point are we going to just accept the fact that she's grown and changed and we're not going to get the 2011-2015 lana back? it's really sad that people are so afraid and disgusted by a middle-aged woman who acts like a typical middle-aged woman, she's not 25 anymore, it would be silly if she were to start singing about cocaine and co-dependency like she was a decade ago

    honestly it really bothers me how people get so upset how she isn't "sexy" or "edgy" anymore, she doesn't have to be any of those things at this point if she'd rather sing about other subjects, if it really is that bothersome to you, just listen to somebody else or just listen to her old music? 


    You read my mind! I completely agree. 
     

    Thematically, I feel like she’s retained a lot of the same subject matter even though her approach to and frequency of certain themes has changed. For example..

     

    1. Family: Gramma -> Sweet Carolina

    2. Substance Use: Carmen -> Fuck it I love you

    3. Codependency: Ultraviolence -> Dealer
    4. “Sexy”-Sounding Songs: PWYC -> Black Bathing Suit


    Also, I agree about not understanding the hesitancy about her aging or becoming an aunt, and I personally don’t think any of those statuses are even mutually exclusive with the themes many miss. She—like so many others that fall under her various statuses—contains multitudes after all, and her life and art really demonstrate this. 
     

    Even sonically, I don’t feel like she’s necessarily boxed in, either (not that it’s a bad thing). She’s very recently expressed interest in working with Migos, just worked with Taylor Swift, reached out to Kali Uchis for a collab, etc. In the same way that we didn’t confine her to her former sound, I think we can acknowledge she’s more than capable of (and seems to desire) experimenting outside of her current soundscape. 
     

    I mean, I feel like it’s expected that she would explore this route for a few records or so eventually: she’s been hinting at it for years (her covers of Chelsea Hotel No. 2, Goodbye Kiss, Knockin’ On Heavens Door, Tomorrow Never Came, Change, touches of AKA, etc.). 
     

    I didn’t realize how long this was until now but I spent way too long typing it..oh well lol

    Well, I can definitively say it’s probably my least favorite Swift album:noparty:
     

    That being said, I really appreciate how she was able to sonically capture that hazy, sometimes delirious headspace that comes with staying up late for any number of reasons. You can tell it was deliberate, and—with some exceptions—is fairly consistent throughout. I like that she experimented a bit with this record as well!

     

    I hope the album grows on me, but I also recognize the overall sound and how it’s paired with the lyricism really isn’t my personal preference, but maybe that will change!

    do you mean the scat attack? because if so, that’s been happening for eight years at this point it’s nothing out of the ordinary lol :toofunny:

    Oh no totally! I’m just hoping it isn’t indicative of a mass multi-song LDR9 leak or something :/

    This is so awful :( I genuinely hope nothing from her record or book leaks. She seems so proud of both. 
     

    I really hope followers of her art respect her wishes and also let her team know if they find a legitimate leak. I can’t imagine what her past few weeks have felt like.

    I don’t think they have instagram info because if I recall correctly, when Lana posted the Blue Banisters cover on July 4th BOZ still wasn’t sure that was the album title and he made the comment that the announcement wasn’t planned…I have a feeling insiders have access to label information (so rollout plans) and some of the music. 
     

    I really do think the masterpiece album is about Lana, but I'm trying to not get too excited because it makes the silence even more grating :thumb2:

    That’s very true!!! I forgot how surprised we were about the announcement! 
     

    If anything, that makes this even more interesting because—assuming the attacks were legit—that means this record might have some concrete dates set in place:excited: maybe Ben’s comments meant something after all..:eartha2:

     

    I’m moving for better or worse lol:monica:

    I’ve noticed a trend where—right before Lana announces something on Instagram—insiders seem to know beforehand.
     

    I seriously hope no one has access to her Instagram drafts, but it seems weirdly coincidental at this point unless there’s some album rollout schedule floating around (feels very unlikely given past events lol):um2: I guess we’ll see. 

     

    Anyways, the timing of this is just reinforcing that the “masterpiece” BoZ mentioned is likely about Lana after we eliminated most if not all of the other options—I seriously don’t know who else it would be about given his other tweets! We won!:ma:
