I can’t wait for that one mean bald guys review. He is the only reviewer who actually matters 

(sorry for another needlessly long post) 
 
i’ve been doing an LDR discography binge today while cleaning my room. (starting with AKA and making my way through the rest). i’m currently in the middle of Terrence, and it reminded me of the first time I heard it. it was my first full era as a fully fledged Lana fan, (i wasnt quite as obsessive back then as i am now, but i definitely was there for all of the single releases, starting with that album). i remember listening to TLY on Youtube on the couch at my grandma’s house up in the mountains and just being enamored with the beauty of it all. my grandma unfortunately passed two decembers ago due to complications from COVID. that song always reminded me of her and a lot of Lanas music in general reminds me of her. i remember camping with her and my grandpa in the orgeon and washington forests and mountains in the summer of 2019, and i still remember the day Lana posted the first snippet of the NFR title track on instagram. to hear Lana call back to Terrence Loves You’s melody in The Grants, and sample NFR in A&W were both indicators that for me, this album was most definitely going to be one i never forgot. there are so many beautiful as well as painful memories that i can absolutely tell went into the construction of this album for Lana, and so many of those memories are called back for me while listening to the songs that i’ve heard so far. i’m really very grateful for it, truly. <3

Candy Necklace
 
 

If LDR10 is an album with songs like Candy Necklace, I will be grateful all my life. 

2014 wow lol here's an explanation tho
 
u know the addy pull up
 

wait until this bitch hears about when the pawn…
 
and let’s not forget our girl the idler wheel either

yall haven't heard of fiona apple

don't give too much to Fantano, he did speak reasonably positively about "the Grants" today, but again not without a condescending undertone saying "by Lana standards".

i really loved this & she totally nailed it from start to finish, i hope to see her dive in on a few more tracks off OB after it comes out! thanks for sharing.
 
A&W is really such a heartbreaking song n what she sings about is quite a universal experience for women sadly, today i was reading twitter when i saw Sydney Sweeneys recent interview where she talks about how her body developing quicker left her feeling v ostracized and also as if that's all she had to offer ... "when your body becomes sexualised as a child, you can start to hate it & blame yourself" , i thought of A&W instantly. thousands of women in the quotes saying they understand just how she feels. it's really a damn shame.. so i am glad that songs like this are creating more conversation, even if uncomfortable, around the issue too. it needs to be addressed!
i really hope all women are able to heal from their own unique of experience of sexualisation..there are different types of this experience, one isn't worse than the other. but this trauma is common, confusing and painful for young girls.(sorry for the rant!)

....alright, since i'm going to the listening party tomorrow - i have decided that i will listen to the leaked album in full once by myself tonight to have my own experience before the collective one tomorrow. i need to know what im preparing myself for
 
any songs make anyone cry?? 

to me it feels
 

i want old school hip hop and jazz rap energy (think a tribe called quest or gang starr)
 

NOOOO i just realised this thread is gonna end what am i gonna do now i’m new to lana boards but this pre release has been so fun i love u guys even tho i barely speak this thread is so fun 

we had so many deaths during this prerelease thread

Kintsugi:
 

we = you and @Actor 
 

She’s only done one album with mostly piano which was Blue Banisters…..so let’s just cut the BS and call it what it is: y’all just want another pop record 

For the first time in my life… it’s a hard pass for me. Love her with all of my heart, I’d take a couple of standalone tracks after Ocean Blvd, maybe the cover album sometime in 2024,  but hell nah for LDR10 this year. This thread is proof it shouldn’t happen for everyone’s sanity. We can’t control ourselves when it comes to her and anxiety is making everyone fucking insane.
 
 

the latter, i think his fiancee would instantly know since they became public from the beggining lmao
