Old me would've thought the album was cancelled by now, but this feels normal

I don't know if this has been brought up by anyone else yet, but I can't help but think about the first half of the album as a chronological allegory for her romance, heartbreak and then stages of grief.
The Grants/Ocean Blvd/Sweet is her in love, thinking about a life of love but still foreshadowing future loss (love and denial (in hindsight) stage).
"Do you want children? Do you want to marry me?" A&W is where the betrayal happens (especially considering the extra verse she sang on her live in the car about Sean), The anger and reckoning stage.
"It's not about havin' someone to love me anymore
This is the experience of bein' an American whore" Interludes/Candy Necklace is her turning to spirituality while still lamenting the restlessness/reckless of men. Reasoning. Kintsugi - the quietest point of grief, depression, that hopefully starts to precede the last stage of grief, acceptance.   
To me, the remaining half of the album her accepting her place in life and trying to find potential joy in living in the moment, friendship, family and embracing her sultry spirit again. 

I can’t understand why so many people dislike kintsugi and fingertips  they’re literally my favorite tracks of the album. I guess if you get it, you get it..

I was mulling this around in my head the other day, I think it's why the album front to back is such a cathartic experience, for me anyway

the first part of the sermon, about lust and loving your wife and all that, hits so good knowing about how Sean was cheating on his fiancee with Lana. Get him, Judah!

This! It starts of with a very pretty instrumental, then progressively gets eerier. So unsettling

I guess unpopular opinion but I love it. I love how dark, unsettling, and eerie it feels. The production is incredible too. 

She’s removed it, but here was her video post - 

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/lana-del-rey-did-know-214710824.html
 
"Lana Del Rey’s ‘Did You Know There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd’ Is Her Most Soul-Searching Album Yet"
 
"What she has done since NFR! — including Chemtrails Over the Country Club and Blue Banisters — has proven to be a remarkable expansion on the artistic vision she laid out on that album, one that puts her in a creative class all her own. In preaching to herself, she has unlocked the type of art her listeners will hold dear for a lifetime."

You forgot:
 
- LDR 10 announced

I find it weird when people are like the production is so bad it ruins the song but then they’ll listen to unreleased Lana that was recorded on a walkie talkie and has a bit of tambourine in the background. 

This is the only pre-album cycle that we haven't been given an accompanying music video for any pre-album singles and/or trailer. 
 
Unusual... but given the insider information around a "surprise" that finally does it right by fans, I suspect (and want) it to be something highly visual like a series of music videos or short film
