Escapology

Listening parties weren’t even anything big… literally every big label’s artist are doing these, it’s nothing unusual. I don’t think it was even anything related to Ben and Ed

The times was really positive which is great- again even if the album is sh*t she’s not going to be panned- lust for life started the wave of everything she makes being acclaimed because retrospectively her first few albums were review bombed massively- even most of these don’t totally focus on the quality of the music- there’s too much talk about public perception and her impact on other artists which isn’t really what reviewers should be looking at.

She promoted it as much as blue banisters- they both had one public performance which is why it makes no sense that she was trying to keep blue banisters from being heard-both had limited promo and it’s still more than ocean 💀

Max Martin, please. We need an upbeat dancey record after this gospel slay

Luke Combs is releasing on the 24th as well, I don’t think he’ll sell more albums than lana but he’s for sure getting more streams 
And I agree that Pink Floyd is not selling more copies than Lana 
The 100k debut in the USA is not impossible but it’s hard to know rn, we’ll have to wait for first day streams/sales 

Who cares about a “review” that was clearly written by a hater. 

Anyway, here’s my sales/streams prediction: 
#4 on billboard 200 (top 3 still possible)
#2 in the uk (#1 still possible I think)
10-15 million streams first day 
65 million first week streams 
65-75k first week sales in the USA 
18-23k first week sales in the uk
150k first week sales ww
 

How high do you all think this album will chart??? I feel a good #4

if he hates it i love it 

I can’t wait for that one mean bald guys review. He is the only reviewer who actually matters 

Im sorry but this album is so fucking boring I need Born to Die Lana back at least Peppers did SOMETHING for me. Like what was she thinking…

plot twist 

What is life but a constant alternation between pre and post releases 

Is it trap?
Drag those boring piano ballads lana 
she really said take this pretentious sh*t and swallow it whole-I’ll still get acclaim with no effort 

She dgaf if she puts out 'bad' songs so we're getting more of them 
 
And her opinions on her own songs are often...eh, so another win for piano hags

listening to the songs in random order is such a fun
just been slain by the sequence Taco Truck - Peppers - Grandfather - Candy Necklace - Kintsugi - Jon Batiste Interlude

Fans should be honest- if they don’t like it, it’s there to vocalise an opinion- likewise if they love it, it helps gauge its appeal.
 
I don’t like the random tweets off people mentioning her body or her looks in context to how they feel the music has declined though- very nasty.

guys, i have a theory about the surprise BOZ was talking about, and i know it sounds crazy but, could it possibly be a special live session on Disney+? it seems that Disney+ has been getting big artist with new releases to do these and it wouldn't be too far fetched since Lana covered OUAD for Maleficent. it would honestly be a dream come true and i think Lana would do great because it wouldn't technically be "live" television. i think it would be very intimate! 
 

Kintsugi has grown on me a lot, it's almost perfect except 
Also is it just me or most of the song sounds like 
 

This line from The Forty-Five review is really interesting
 
 

i’m a native english speaker and it makes 0 sense  it’s just lana being lana 

It doesn't make any sense (english is not my first language either) it's just camp I guess
I like it tbh
 
She said it was gonna be part of the original title btw "Did you know that there's a tunnel under ocean blvd Pearl, watch me on ring a bell Psycho Lifeguard"

thank you so much
