That’s a really good point!
 
I feel like—for a lot of Lana’s records—a couple listens really help in getting to the core of the album’s “essence,” so to speak. TUOB is really interesting in the sense that we don’t really know what we’re getting ourselves into!
 
I mean, if A&W hadn’t been described by Kintsugi, I would have never guessed we’d get something in that vein based off of the title track, thematically and sonically. Also, take Honeymoon, for example: hearing the title track and HBTB are totally different experiences, but they mesh so well (imo) in the context of the entire work. 

Even if we were to get 2 more singles, there’s a big possibility that we still wouldn’t have a great indication of the overall vibe—excited to find out!!

That very first playthrough (and the next handful after that) needs to be cover to cover so you can absorb the whole journey she's going on

Of course not!

Nope! It makes the song sound more refreshing....and hearing how well the songs before and after it blend together. Title track is absolutely brilliant 

Whenever the album drops, I’ll probably turn off all of the lights in my room (maybe light a few candles) and listen with headphones I’m sure I’ll be on LB too!
 
I really want to amplify that middle-of-the-night bedroom vibe that Neil seemed to be highlighting in his photoshoot with Lana. 

Then again, maybe I’ll think differently about my environment once I’ve heard the whole record

Stay on topic, and stop the fighting. I'm going to clean it up now, and if it continues, the thread will be locked for a little bit 

A&W releasing tomorrow.......... the "put a 1 before the 3" conspiracy is talking about 13:00 EST which is 10am PST release get ready girls 

very excited for the VB sample just to see what she does with it 

Something I’m excited for is that we have the opportunity to experience hearing DYKTTATUOB at the same time on LanaBoards!
 
I really enjoyed listening to Blue Banisters with everyone when it dropped, and with so much fresh material on LDR9, I have a feeling our reactions will be even more enthused and shocked when it’s released!
 
edit: maybe I picked a poor time to send this reply

Honeymoon from hell 

just preordered the pink ocean blvd vinyl on amazon.. American girlies go buy it immediately!
 

Did you know that there's 600k on the oceanblvd? And for what?  
But honestly it would be shady if she post something on Clayton's bday 💀 she can do it

i don't even need a&w friday can they just post on the fucking instagram account

i promised myself to try my best not to listen to ocean blvd again until the album comes out so i dont end up overplaying it  it's soooo difficult tho, especially since the song starts randomly playing in my head

OMG FEBRUARY 5TH
 
MOOOOOOOVE
definitely 

HARRY NILSSON HAS A SONG. HIS VOICE BREAKS AT 2:05. 

Ok so she knew we thought it was gunna be Wednesday and because of that knew that we would know it would be Thursday so it’s actually going to be Friday!!!! 

This! It makes perfect sense actually!
 

Neil knows exactly what he’s doing. Teasing two new ocean pics + following the oceanblvd account? Now, come on now…something has to be announced in the next few days even if it’s just the box set/merch. 
 
Until then…
 

I mean…yeah lol. He described poor Kintsugi as a song with a bare piano where Lana barely opens her mouth to sing, and yet @Kintsugitold us that the melodies are spectacular and she sings her heart out, while it was literally confirmed by the production credits that the song also features guitars, drums, and synths. They could be subtle of course, but it’s still a bizarre exaggeration. Not to mention that he kinda implied that Candy Necklace is piano-only, and it has dozens of instruments lmao. 

Given what we know about Let The Light In (a song about one’s longing for peace), I expect that entire section (Tracks 8-12) to be the emotionally draining one on the album. And then things get lighter, more carefree and playful on Side D based on the vague descriptions about the last few tracks being « vibey ». It’s going to be an interesting twist; Lana’s albums usually end with soft, simple, melancholy tracks. 

Clayton Johnson, Lana’s allegedly ex fiance’s birthday is on Feb 4th, you know what that means? A&W coming Feb 4 Saturday 

It’s kinda crazy to think that, assuming she tours for this album, she’ll have released over 40 new songs since her last tour lmao WILD
