it's not that i expect to be disappointed in the new songs, i honestly think they're going to be excellent, it's just that i fear i might feel frustrated to hear 4 songs i already know in a row, and later, 6 songs i already know (although, granted, some of them might have been changed) in a row. i feel like the album might be very well structured and make perfect sense, but on my first listen, i'm afraid i'm going to be super excited when the 4 unknown songs play one after the other, and a bit bored when the rest plays. but when we get used to all the songs and nectar of the gods has the same status as sweet carolina (that of a regular track on blue banisters), i'm sure it'll feel more balanced! and most of the people who'll listen to the album never heard the leaked songs, so that's only going to be a bit of a problem for us

Just from the song titles, I'm very confident that the unknown songs will fit well with the rest of the album. There is no reason to expect a disappointment.

I was bit « bummed » yesterday when we found out the Sweet Carolina was 3:30. Plus I prefer a short but perfect song to a lullaby that drags on and on. Besides, Cherry is 3:00 and is perfect as it is. So maybe SC won’t disappoint. 

I feel like the extended drum outro of Chemtrails title track was low-key intended to be an interlude, it allowed Tulsa Jesus Freak to start playing and it flows nicely,The trio-BBS Is a more intense and apparent version of that which she may have been aiming for in COCC. I really like this whole instrumental interlude+bop track thing she's doing in her albums

I can't with these celebrity churches 
 
She looks hot though. 

That’s the same dress she wore at Jen’s daughter’s birthday party! Love this look — green is her colour 

Last night, Lana Del Rey was seen arriving to Churchome in Beverly Hills, California.
Lana has been known to frequent this church for their Wednesday night services, and this is her first time being spotted attending since before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. This church is frequented by other celebrities such as Justin and Hailey Bieber and Demi Lovato.

before 4:17 - the good
after 4:17 - the bad and the ugly (with trap beats)
herself and the music
 
the melody played at the interlude is from the soundtrack of the movie "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" (titled "The Trio" like the interlude)
 
just my thoughts
 

Fun fact: Kim Kardashian was the next celebrity Lana's dentist took a selfie with on instagram:

Nectar of the Goods has finally won my heart, could become an evergreen like Yosemite or Cinnamon Girl.

Hi all,
I've moved the fighting & spam posts out of this thread. Please everyone, I know tensions are a little high right now with the album just around the corner, but please don't fight each other! & If you feel that you must, I ask you to please take it to the DMs or at least to another thread. I try my best to keep this whole site as drama free as I can, and all this fighting littering the Pre-Release really isn't enjoyable to see. I was away most of the day yesterday filming on set, but I'll be here the rest of the day to keep an eye on you all. If you recall, in past eras when things got out of hand, we would temporarily lock the thread to give you all some space to cool off. Hopefully it won't have to come to that again! Let's keep it all calm, cool, and collected and let's not try to start any unnecessary drama.
Anyway, we know the track lengths now! Black Bathing Suit being the longest song on the album was definitely a surprise for me - for some reason, I anticipated it being shorter! Some goes for Beautiful which is rather short, yet I expected it to be long. I can't wait to listen to these new tracks! x

Omg my insider teaser era!
I filmed for the Paramount+ reboot of the series 'The Game' yesterday, which will premiere in November. I've also recently filmed for Queens (ABC - Oct 2021), Monarch (FOX - Jan 2022), and Atlanta (FX - S3 2022) which has been exciting since I took a little hiatus from film in 2018! Feels nice to be back in the scene again. Building my reel for when Lana decides to cast me as a beachgoer in the Black Bathing Suit video

it's eating soft ice cream watching the sunset vibes

the chemtrails lanaboards theme is lovely wow 

Ok but can we talk about? One of the most beautiful things she EVER wrote
I never meant to be bad or unwell
I was just living on the edge
Right between Heaven and Hell
And I'm tired of it

we're only 22 days away guys.
 

Nectar of the Goods has finally won my heart, could become an evergreen like Yosemite or Cinnamon Girl.

my song 57

Hope and Wait For Life. I have to be in a really specific mood to listen to those songs, they hurt in a completely different way than the rest of her discography does. I feel like Yosemite is melancholic as well, but in more of a nostalgic way rather than it being genuinely sad 

Next To Me (the ache of her loneliness is palpable)

So I assume that if the songs have been reworked, there is a good chance the length would change slightly. For Nectar, Cherry Blossom, and Living Legend, the leaked versions are the same length as the album version, which makes me inclined to believe they have not changed at all or only minor changes. The Thunder album version is ten seconds shorter than the leak, and the Dealer album version is four seconds longer than the leak. This makes me inclined to believe these songs have been reworked for the album.
 
I love Thunder and Dealer, but I always felt that they are the two outliers on this album sonically. Like the album is super lush and soft and all the songs are almost lullaby, and then we have these two Last Shadow Puppets hazy rock songs that sound like you're in some smokey dive bar. Trio is a different sound than the other songs also but somehow it has its place and it fits. Thunder and Dealer are gorgeous songs but they just sound so out of place next to the other songs. I'll be happy and not surprised if these two songs have been rerecorded to have instrumentals that are more cohesive with the sound of the album. 

Summary of the last hour:
