wilting daisy

gonna see if i can get my man to buy me the jacket anyway bc i know i will regret not getting it even if the patches are not in the right order especially since she included violet and i love that

its a shame the patches on the jacket are in the wrong order bc otherwise i woulda gotten it

idk if this makes sense but there was this specific excitement i felt just before ultraviolence and norman f**king rockwell! like they were so different and jaw dropping and raw and i feel that way leading up to this album too

i hate to be one of those people but could someone catch me up on any new info regarding the album the last few days? pls n thank u

i am like this but with my mum. i always wanna show her lana songs/albums bc i feel like they are right up her alley but then i get embarrassed by lana's more provocative lines & wonder if that is too much for my mum to handle

in a way i feel all her albums are not quite a break or departure from the previous but a natural progression where she refines previous themes/sounds while also introducing new ones.

i think she is going to wait til the album comes out to reveal the tracklist. this is her secrecy era

isnt that her friend annie? or am i mistaken?

honestly i feel like most albums should only get one variant like they did back in the day. maybe 2 so there can be a different colour/different cover for fans who like collecting but it is insane that most artists are releasing 5+ variants. it is getting out of hand & i think that will kill the popularity of vinyl which makes me sad bc i was so happy vinyl was having a revival since it is the most sustainable music format imo.

the retailer in my country that got the red cotcc vinyl still has tons of copies so if this album is anything like that, it will not be rare at all. but who knows bc i expected them to get the red bb vinyl but they never did. seems like only us & uk got that one.

personally rn i feel like the white will be the most rare since it is just from her webstore & not a big retailer. i think the light pink will be the second most rare bc it is already sold out on most anazon sites & the email from lana's store shows that one as sold out yet none of the others are shown that way which makes me think it really will not be restocked. then i would say the dark pink bc it seems like with cotcc, it will be available thru a different retailer in each country instead of just target/hmv like with bb. & i feel like the green might be the most available of the alt variants bc it seems like it is available at even more indie stores than her indie exclusive usually is plus if it is the one urban outfitters gets, it will definitely be a little more abundant. then of course i think the standard will be the easiest to find bc for years after it will probably be the only one sold. but i am not an expert on what retailers get restocks usually, so this is all just my assumptions. summarized assumption (rare to least rare): white light pink dark pink green black

"love me until i love myself" & "come on baby you can thrive but i can't" are the two lines in the new song that kill me the most. i feel those deep in my soul & i cannot get thru those lines without crying

in the song when lana sings about harry nilsson saying "i wish i had a friend like him" that is exactly how i feel when i listen to lana

probably her mother

do we know yet how many tracks will be on each vinyl side? it might help us figure out which songs are longer & what the other interlude is

yes! that is the main thing i do not like about the white vinyl. i wish it had the text like the other ones (& also another colournof waves in the gatefold). it is fun that it is the most different sleeve but it is also the most boring (sorry lana, please forgive me)

normally i just get one standard on black vinyl & one alternate cover (&if there is no alt cover, then just a coloured vinyl instead) but i could not help myself this time getting 2 alt covers & i am still debating getting the other 2 as well even tho i already hate myself for buying 3 copies of this album. they are just so pretty this time. why lana whyyy

anyway what track # do we think is going to be the longest song?

you guys really call everything you do not agree with woke like what is "woke" about counting violet as an album? if anything we are dissident & freethinkers (btw this part is a joke, nothing about how anyone counts albums is political) anyway can we just drop it? this thought police stuff is getting boring. let us argue about something interesting like what we think lana had for breakfast

i cannot wait til we learn more of the tracklist so we can actually start theorizing what songs could be about. if lana does not reveal the tracklist before release, i hope an insider at least eventually tells us a couple more titles.

i literally said in my post before that it doesn't matter how we count her albums. but if it is nineth, then to me i choose to include aka not paradise or violet since that makes sense to me. idk why everyone is so mad that i will not count paradise without violet. like it does not matter & does not affect any of your lives in any way. we do not all have to agree & that is ok

she literally said multiple times that violet is counted as an album tho & people still argued it was not. people will go on & on saying paradise is an album bc she counts it yet they pretend not to hear her when she says violet is an album. idk why everyone gets so offended whenever some of us do count violet, like just live your life

if lana never said this was her 10th album & if the album cover never said it was her 9th, i would have considered it her 11th honestly. violet is poetry but it is still an album. she is not the first person to release a spoken word poetry album. in many ways it holds more album status than paradise since paradise will always be connected to born to die even if we & lana see it as its own thing yet violet is completely on its own as its own project. but either way both can be debated as "not really an album" & i respect that. & i know lana does not count aka (but both david bowie & elton john did not count their debut albums til many decades later either) but it was a real released full-length studio album so it makes more sense to count than paradise or violet. but ultimately it does not matter. each fan is gonna count her albums the way they want & we will never all agree on a proper line up. for me personally if this is her nineth, i am counting aka but not paradise & violet even tho i know many other fans will not agree. & that is ok. we do not need to agree. whatever helps each of us sleep at night

i am so glad i bought this one right away. imo it is the best alt cover & i would have been so sad not to have gotten it.

violet also had its own era too & lana promoted it way more than she promoted chemtrails or blue banisters. but no one will get me to count paradise without violet (or violet without paradise). plus to me aka always made more sense to count officially than either paradise or violet anyway. they are more like mini side albums.
