Serene motherfucking Queen? Now hold on. Shit’s getting serious omg. I knew track 8 was gonna serve.

BORN TO DIE: Radio, Diet Mountain Dew, Off To The Races PARADISE: Ride, Gods & Monsters, Bel Air ULTRAVIOLENCE: Cruel World, West Coast, Brooklyn Baby HONEYMOON: Art Deco, Swan Song, The Blackest Day LUST FOR LIFE: Cherry, Get Free, Heroin NFR: NFR, Venice Bitch, Fuck It I Love You COCC: White Dress, COCC, Dark But Just a Game BLUE BANISTERS: Wildflower Wildfire, Black Bathing Suit, Thunder

I’m more and more obsessed with the tracklist. Fishtail is the only one I would change but other than that, I love everything. Taco Truck x VB? She ate!!

Yeah this would make a lot of sense. We know the closer and AW will already lean into that.

The Grants - no idea Sweet - piano + strings ballad AW - angry acoustic guitar + trap Judah Smith Interlude - no idea Candy Necklace - piano? Jon Batiste Interlude - no idea Kintsugi - piano Fingertips - piano? Paris, Texas - piano? Grandfather - no idea Let The Light In - no idea Margaret - I’m assuming soft rock? Fishtail - trap? Peppers - no idea Taco Truck x VB - progressive rock? There HAS to be more variety than this, right?

I can’t even imagine how she sampled it. It must be insane.

No one cares but here are my two cents regarding the tracklist after sitting with it for the past two hours and juggling that with the info we know so far: The Grants: I have great expectations for this one. Regardless of how we feel about Lana's albums individually, there's no denying the woman knows how to open an album. 10 years into her career as LDR and she always made exquisite openers. This one will be heavily centered on her family ("weddings! funerals!") but with a different approach I think. This is no Sweet Carolina, she's probably going deeper into her family lineage, specially after her grandma's passing and her nephew coming into the family. Perfect way to set the diaristic tone of the record while also paying tribute to one of her most cherished foundations. BOZ said it would be an amazing album trailer so that must mean it encapsulates the record's tone rather well. Genre prediction: String/piano sweeping ballad, in the vein of NFR (title track). Sweet: described as the Love Song of the album which personally speaking I find quite the compliment! It will probably sound amazing right after the title track and if we count on The Grants not being too crazy, we have a pretty harmonious trio to start off the album before chaos kicks in. Nothing wrong about listening to Lana being vulnerable and, well, sweet. Wouldn't descredit this one right out the gate but I feel like it's one of those tracks that will get underlooked/underappreciated at first. Genre prediction: Piano ballad, in the vein of Love Song. AW: Angry guitars that later turn into a sweeping trap breakdown while she sings about her experience as an American Whore... what else can be said? Already a fan-favorite. Judah Smith Interlude: I'm not a huge fan of this one and #7 being titled the way they are not because they're weird sounding but because it's strange to think Lana will soon have two tracks called Judah Smith Interlude and Jon Batiste Interlude out there... Either way, there's not much to say besides hoping this one's themes tie nicely with the previous track (whore vs. saint, sin vs. purity, etc). Candy Necklace: Really excited for this one! I still can't quite understand if the snippet she shared featured piano or acoustic guitar but either way, I'm here for it. I think BOZ described it as the centerpiece of the album, didn't he? Intrigued by this one not being a Jon Batiste feature and yet still be co-written by him. Hmm. Jon Batiste Interlude: See #5. Kintsugi did say this one is as bad as the pastor interlude while BOZ remained silent about it. I have no idea what to expect of it. Kintsugi: I have been hyping this one to high heavens because of its sheer placement. This track will follow the chaotic energy of the AW-Interlude-Candy Necklace-Interlude sequence while also being the literal middlepoint of the album - from this point forward we're going straight ahead to the second half of the album which has been praised by both BOZ and Cuntsugi so track 8 slicing this album in two halves is incredibly exciting for me. Plus the concept is really sick! Genre prediction: No clue at all but I'm going no guts no glory on this one and predict an acoustic guitar moment, ala Chemtrails. Fingertips: I have a feeling this one will be major. Confessional, diaristic and incredibly poetic, even to a degree I can assume it might get jarring to a few fans. Nonetheless, if the lyric Lana shared in her Interview Mag photoshoot is anything to go by, this song will be a moment. Whew. Genre prediction: Bare piano ballad, in the vein of Hope is a Dangerous Thing. Paris, Texas: Look, the title is a serve and I'm claiming it by default because it combines two things I adore: auteur cinema and Lana. However this one does feature the SYML sample so it's probably going to be a melancholic piano ballad - which I don't mind at all but I do wish this title had been reserved for one of the bops haha. Genre prediction: Piano ballad, in the vein of Change. Grandfather Please Stand on The Shoulders of My Father While He’s Deep-Sea Fishing: I have no fucking idea where she's going with this and I love it. Genre prediction: I have no clue but I would say the connection BOZ made between this one and MAC might indicate something? Let The Light In: I wanted a proper duet with FJM (like that last chorus in Buddy's Rendezvous) but apparently Lana taylorswifted FJM into backing vocals (or was this debunked?). Excited for this one because they always make magic together. Genre prediction: Fuck it. Jazz/blues. Margaret: I know most of y'all hate Strogonoff and his producing antics - and I do agree his singing voice can be off-putting - but I'd say Secret Life is a cute little track and if this one emulates that, we won! After a quick research, I found out that her grandma is called Cynthia, not Margaret. Genre prediction: soft rock? Fishtail: The only title I wholeheartedly dislike. This one is sampling that AK song (which is soft and melodic trap) so maybe this one is the TJF/CG/Cherry of the album? Genre prediction: Piano ballad + trap. Peppers: I don't want to expect a slutty song from Lana at this point but who knows. I was told Lana snapped on this one so I'm assuming it's wild. Genre prediction: electronic rock OR trap. Taco Truck x VB: In love with this title. So fucking bizarre. If it samples VB and has an outro for the books, there's not much more I can say. Let it wash over us.

I just realized Jon Batiste isn’t a featured artist in track 6 even though he co-wrote it…

Peppers is going to be a top 3 track.

Terri Joe fans The best comedian alive me thinks.

This is clearly a label move. I highly doubt it it’s in her wishes to be delaying an album for two weeks to achieve a #1 lol, don’t be mean.

I can’t get over Taco Truck x VB. What is that title omg.

Taco Truck x VB is the most confounding title I’ve ever laid my eyes on. A Lana song called Paris, Texas is going to EAT though.

Omg all the life long country fans are coming out of the woodwork

No, it was frequently suggested by both BOZ and Eclipse the album had variety and experimentation besides A&W.

I wonder what will be the Gemini anthem of the album.

If BOZ did troll at some point and we’ve been endlessly spinning around false or misinterpreted info, I’ll probably just stop browsing this thread or avoid spoilers and just wait for the album without thinking too much about it. I won’t stroke BOZ’s ego for entertainment lmao.

I’m so confused. On the same page there’s people claiming BOZ said a couple things and people saying nothing’s going on.

Flames so hot they turn into alcohol…

Even they were like “paying for a Halsey record? hell nah”.

LFL’s original concept.

It will never cease to amaze how we can make this thread get a hot sticker regardless of whether there’s any news or not
