@BlackoutZone I know that you cannot reveal anything substantial, but I'd love it if you could share your top 5 DYKTTATUOB tracks with us (excluding the title track in case it's in your top 5). No need to mention titles at all, obviously! A simple mention of the title numbers will do (for example: tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5). The subsequent speculations will keep us busy for a few days, and they'll make the wait a bit more bearable.

I adore the distorted oceanic vibes of Neil's complementary work for the album's artwork. And the fact that he shot these photos last spring means that Lana knew what she wanted in terms of visuals. Doesn't the track with the long title mention something sea-related, as well? What intrigues me is that BOZ said that the album is fucking wild, and I kinda doubt that his description is solely based on a specific track's soundscape (apparently A&W). Didn't he say that he needed to listen to the Tommy Genesis "feat." (lol) a bit more in order to talk about it? Hopefully this means that it's a strange experimental track...Antonoff was hyping it a lot on Tommy's IG.

He did! But he also did say that he wanted the album to be called The Grants, so I guess that it must be a pretty major track in Lana's discography.

Two.

BOZ confirmed on ATRL that she just uses a sample. Weeks before the album announcement he posted this on Twitter: Sounds like another potential highlight! Don't forget that he's been gushing about The Grants, A&W and the track with the long title, and he also called Fingertips a stunner.

BOZ said that it's her most confessional and vulnerable album to date. He also described it as "the diary of a lost girl looking for guidance", so I think that this will definitely be her rawest and most personal work to date. The album photoshoot makes a lot of sense. It's an invitation to her most private place - her bedroom (my bedroom is a sacred place now), - where she can express herself freely. Didn't she call the album "conversational" back in May? The title itself initiates a conversation with the listener, and its strong visual metaphor implies that this will be a deep exploration of her inner thoughts. The oversaturated photos of flowers, ocean waves and industrial spaces create a rather unhinged and ambivalent atmosphere as if everything has been contaminated through a dreamlike (or even nightmarish) vision. Even the covers for the mint and light pink vinyl variants toy with this artificial aspect - the clash between reality and fiction - with the colour Neil added to Lana's clothes/eyes etc. It all feels very intentional and carefully thought-out, I think.

Sorry, I meant Candy Necklace. Yeah, I know that, and you're probably right. I just thought that it's interesting that I couldn't find other "fan-favourite" titles such as Peach Fuzz and Rockefeller.

I found The Grants, Sweet, Candy Necklace, Fingertips, and on last.fm. Should we move...?

Paging @hotshot2am and @sweetie.You can do it!

I thought that they'd place both sides of each vinyl next to each other given that there's a significant blank space that seemingly differentiates the top two tracklists from the bottom ones, no?

Pitchfork added Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd on their "Pitchfork Selects" Spotify playlist, which is basically a selection of their favourite new tracks. https://pitchfork.com/news/sza-lana-del-rey-kate-nv-this-week-pitchfork-selects/

I missed so much info today! A&W is well over 7 minutes long? Rockefeller is Candy Necklace and it's over 5 minutes long? Fingertips is almost 6 minutes long?! BOZ confirming that there are multiple 6+minute songs on the album apart from A&W?! This *will* be the serve of the millennium. Anyway, I'm gagged by the fact that BOZ apparently dislikes the Bleachers collab more than the pastor interlude, lol. Sweet not being "bad" isn't particularly encouraging either, lol. Strong Sunday performance for Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd on Spotify! It somehow managed to pull over 1,000,000 streams despite the inevitable drop on Sundays. It's been performing well! Tomorrow's streams should be stronger!

Could you give us a clue about Track 3 (Sweet)? Is it Beautiful redux?

I think you're right! Here's what Lana said about the "features" on her album: Jon Batiste - only writing credits by the sound of it. Tommy Genesis - a sample at best I guess? Riopy & Konstanty - not even mentioned as features on the cover, so their contribution must be minimal. SYML - a sample (confirmed). Judah Smith - the recording of a part of his sermon. Bleachers - no mention at all, but she does thank Jack for his production and writing skills in the next paragraph. Father John Misty - the only one who seems to have actually sung with her, and now it's confirmed that he's been Snowonthebeach'd.

Track 4 (A&W) - 12:32 Track 5 (Pastor Interlude) - 0:01 Her mind.

Remember Rob's post about all the beautiful songs that have been written about San Francisco while recording in Jack's studio?

We're getting a near 80-minute long album?! FJM being yet another "feature" on this album that isn't really featured, lmao?!

Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd's unfiltered streams on Spotify: Day 1 - 1,433,900 (partial) Day 2 - 2,249,393 Day 3 - 1,718,111 Day 4 - 1,239,731 TOTAL: 6,641,135 It's a decent drop, although sadly I'm expecting roughly 900k streams on Sunday. It'll increase on Monday though. It's still performing exceptionally well given the circumstances (Christmas songs + SZA + no MV + surprise drop + no social media promo), especially compared to previous buzz and lead singles. Day 4: Watercolour Eyes: 1,283,156 streams (it was a Monday though when Lana's streams typically go up) Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd: 1,239,731 streams Chemtrails over the Country Club: 971,876 streams (Thursday) Dealer: 801,946 streams (another Monday, 4 days after the release of the album with the song going viral on TikTok) White Dress: 747,185 streams (ditto without the viral part lol) Let Me Love You Like a Woman: 610,229 streams Arcadia: 530,608 streams Anyway, this should do around 9,5M streams in its first week!

Hmmm...BOZ said that the song is not what we expect at all, used the quotation marks when he mentioned the "collaboration", and also said that he wants to listen to it more before he writes about it. I guess this might be one of the unconventional tracks of the album or/and Tommy's contribution must be quite unexpected.

The pastor interlude

Lovely quiz! LMAO, I got The Well of Thought as well.
