He said that it’s « fucking wild » and the sounds they came up with are « unprecedented » compared to their previous work together. It could be a disaster, but it certainly sounds interesting. 

BOZ said we would all find something to like about the album. and Ed also mentioned something like this on IG

I’m genuinely asking just out of curiosity, what are your favorite Lana songs or like which songs of hers reach her full potential in your opinion? 
im curious because I disagree with a lot of your opinions but I don’t mean that in a rude or negative way… I just want to know! I love everything Lana so I’m not here to judges

A lot of things we manifested recently ended up happening:
- amazing covers and photoshoot (and boobs)
- long album
- out in the first months of the year 
- Zach fucking Dawes
- the background singers 
- an actual interesting announcement (and we got the full preorder and the song instead of having to wait til friday)
And there's probably more.
 
This era feels like a dream. Everything seems so promising 

That’s how I’d describe myself if I was american and whorey

The fact that some "Lana fans" don't feel or even connect to the potent emotion and longing in this song today is just ... unfortunate.
 

 
No one can ruin this era for me. I have such an incredible feeling about this album. Can't even explain it. I'm buzzing.

People clutching their pearls and jumping into conclusions about the overall sound and direction of LDR9 despite the fact that BOZ said that the album is «so wild that he couldn’t believe that he loved it that much» and that it has a lot of variety and lush instrumentation is just sending me. Not to mention that she’s working with several new people on this record (Batiste, Genesis, etc.).
 
It’s pretty obvious that she’s currently fond of a more mellow/grounded/subtle sound and focuses on her conversational/free-flowing poetic lyricism, but there is space for sonic experimentation - see BOZ’s description of A&W - and vocal as well (White Dress on COCC; Sweet Carolina and Arcadia on BB). I happen to be a fan of her latest records, probably because I prefer my music sparser. Hopefully this new body of work is cohesive and showcases artistic growth.
 
Pitchfork’s review was to-the-point: the title track is an admittedly dreamier and more lush version of her latest style, sure,  but it also reveals little details in its sonic direction and influences - the sigh of relief; the celebratory choir; the tiny mumbling; the buildup; the crescendo of warmth -, as well as in its lyrics - the writing is far more layered and, dare I say, contradictory than expected: it’s both nostalgic and mournful; its deceptively straightforward metaphors about the fleetingness of life, forgotten spaces and blurry memories are quite devastating, because they can be interpreted in different ways, and I suppose they will be further illuminated by the overall concept and direction of the album.
 
I don’t know, I’m quite optimistic about the final result. But I’ll reserve my judgment until I get to listen to the entire record. 

The way she also confirmed this is her 9th studio album so we LDR9 apologists won 

I like the chorus but the verses have to be my favorite part. Such a pretty melody and lyrics 
This album is going to destroy me. I do hope we get the tracklist before release tho I'm still impatient about it 

Since Lana and Jack are also credited on the interlude we'll get some background music too so at least it's not going to be just a sermon

They probably are since it's one of Neil's signature styles

I’d love to see her working with Mark Ronson. I’ll not forgive lana for saying that she would work with him for HM and didn’t.
amy’s valerie is amazing and I think that lana ft mark would be an amazing duo

I kinda can't believe this actually got announced tbh. No teasing and posting snippets, literally mentioning it once in an interview last week and news actually coming out on the day she said, smooth pre-order and song release, amazing photoshoot... Who is this Lana 

2 are samples. only syml confirmed
and one is the pastor and the track is one of the interludes

if you hate honeymoon (if i remember correctly) and her last 3 albums and this one im not sure you’re going to find another lana album that you love since at this point you don’t like more than half of her albums😭
 
i want you to enjoy it though, hopefully there’s a track on the album that appeals to you!! maybe the tommy genesis one? i feel like it has to have a bolder sound, could that be up your alley? idk i haven’t read all of your thoughts in the thread
