i think cruel world is a solid opening track, but i will admit, it really drags on sometimes, it doesn't really go anywhere, it doesn't have a bridge, it's repetitive, i do love it's vibe, sound, & vocal style, it's very visceral

i'm sure someone has said this before, but i just realized you can go on lana's website and still see a lot of her old social media posts! i know that was probably common knowledge, but i just wanted to say in case anyone else didn't know. 

It's good that she evolves and not sticks to her old style and stereotypes.

Not All Who Wander are Lost is so gorgeous. I hope we get more tracks in the same vein down the line. 
 
One of lana's more under-appreciated works for sure

I think her videos need no special effects either, but in this case it was a good stylistic device projecting L.A. pictures (in warm colors) onto her body. This is a special song, she had never made such an emotional ballad and the effects aided to intensify emotions.

Maybe some takes look so, but only because Lana wanted it in this way, she was directing the video.

After the final part of the Arcadia video everything is clear to me: she's moving to Mexico, becoming a drug dealer (we have the hints "Yayo", "Heroin", "Dealer", Mafiosiprincess), her new persona is a baddie with dark hair and sunglasses and she will make some sort of Latin/Trap music. *g*

If her body is a map of L.A. and she leaves L.A., is she then leaving her body (dying)? Because in the video her body vanishes and she blurs into the starry sky. She's also speaking about a cross on a hill and the slowly playing trumpets are giving me this impression.

Omg this just came on my Discover Weekly playlist on Spotify:

Either you're a fan or have almost nothing heard from her, there's nothing in between.

The piano when she sings 'My curves, San Gabriel all day'. BRILLIANT  so many details that keep revealing itself the more I listen. Drew Erickson did an amazing job.

RANT incoming, pls skip this post, I regret posting this: (I feel like no one was really talking about this topic, except maybe one post, and I kinda went on a crazy rant... it retrospect, I probably didn't need to, but I also stand by what I've said, sorry not sorry )
 
God the leak argument is so insufferable every SINGLE album. Listen to it however the fuck you want to. Don't act "holier than thou" for holding out and waiting, that's your personal decision not anyone else's. I have always bought CD's, preordered albums, preordered vinyls so I have no problem with listening to leaks because I know in the end they're getting my money regardless so don't act like that's a point either. Sure it may suck for Lana and I feel bad in those cases (like the Untouchable Five leak which really fucked her whole process but that's different from a finished album leak...) but in the end it really doesn't matter, luckily she's off social media now. Honestly, she doesn't even know I exist (even tho we got a pic together that one time lol) so I don't think it matters if I listen to a leak or not.
 
We're gonna hear the album eventually, I don't care if it's casette quality or Dolby quality, I just want new music. And look the general public don't give two shits about leaks, the amount of times I try to talk to my friends about leaks and they don't even care is more embarrassing than you think. Like they really don't care and they would rather just wait (even when I've offered them links). It's mainly a fanbase thing and it goes back to my point of, just let people do what they wanna do, I don't care how you hear the album, I don't care if you ever listen to the album, I just can't be bothered with the preachiness of it all. Also if one listen of shitty quality ruins the album for you, then I feel bad for you it shouldn't be that deep sis.
 
Things have always been this way. I remember the days of Paradise where we got so many snippets people were literally making their own versions of the songs to tide us all over until it came out or leaked. Did that spoil Paradise for me?? Fuck no, because when I listened to the CD in my car as I drove with the windows down it was still more perfect than I could imagine.
 
Also I bet everyone that says "Don't listen to leaks it's not how Lana intended for us to hear the music" has also listened to Lana's unreleased music. Which is ironic because she has explicitly said so many times how she wishes people didn't and hates how those songs have leaked. Have you stopped listening to them?? Probably not, and good because they're amazing. I don't care what you do, you shouldn't care what anyone else does. Just get off your high horses.

I can't wait to blast Blue Banisters in lossless Hi-Fi FLAC Dolby Atmos 3D 5.1 Surround Sound Charli XCX Vinyl-Rip quality!

Black Bathing Suit: Boz said that it's fun to see how excited people are for this track; he'll stay quiet because we have to look forward to something until the album's release. @lustforlife said that the track is an "invite" and will surprise us a lot. Make of it what you will. 
If You Lie Down With Me: -
Beautiful: according to lustforlife, it has surf rock influences.
Violets for Roses: according to lustforlife, it's about a toxic relationship, breaking up and healing.
Sweet Carolina: again, according to lustforlife, it's a very emotional track, a personal favourite on the album and an even better closer than hope is dangerous thing...). 
 

unmanifesting this 
 
hoping the album doesn't leak and we hear it the way it's meant to be heard. 

I didn't listen to Thunder on YT much because I instantly fell in love with it and downloaded it, but I vaguely remember one of the first videos I listened to had this picture:
 

 
And I think it perfectly encapsulates the vibe of Thunder. The whole shoot does tbh:
 

 
Sweet '70s rock Lana is best Lana.

I had this dream that Lana re-activated her instagram just to post some sponsored post about boats (now that I think about it, it probably was the NFR cover boat omg) or sum lol -  and then deactivated again
