I can’t believe all the horror stories I’m hearing about how difficult it is to get into the listening parties. I called mine and they were like yeah whatever man show up whenever LMAO 😭💀

this pre-release went by so fast but also so slow at the same time

Yes, production-wise all three singles are mixed in a very good way, but A&W feels so delicately crafted, as if they have spent weeks analysing every detail, but overall all three singles are very well produced.

I think The Grants is mixed really really well (as are all 3 singles). There's little bits and pieces that occupy opposite sides of the soundstage and really just kinda tickle my brain nicely during the chorus 

I just listened to the three singles because they are the only songs that I'm sure are in HQ and I have the feeling that A&W is the most carefully crafted song, production-wise, it has so many little details. I think the grants is the "simplest" of the three.
 
A&W is a BIG contender for SOTY next year, that song is insane.

I’m happy that you had those experiences and that sounds amazing!! Especially cause for me the furthest I’ll go and have went is lining up early for one of her tour shows where you can at least go to the bathroom and sit on the ground lmao. But I can’t wait for this one if I end up going, hopefully I can snag a single day ticket and figure it out with work, and hope to maybe meet other fans there! 

Oh yes, I definitely was living on sheer willpower that day! I also did bring along some snacks, but didn’t have a full meal that day either except for breakfast. & even then I was so full of pre-show jitters that I’m pretty sure all I had before we got in was some watermelon & a Starbucks panini lol x

The way Byron is more excited about the festival tour than Lana herself. 

Call him up come into my bedroom, ended up we fuck on the hotel floor

All of these posts with spoilers that are getting 10+ likes are making me so curious. I need to know everyone’s insights tomorrow 

You are a TROOPER. It would be a dream to get barricade but a nightmare to obtain those spots. Whenever I go out to festivals it’s always a mental thing that I have to pee all the time so I would not survive. Also, when I eat little I get faint. You are literally god tier !♡ 

I think I’m going to go ! It’s not final, I have to wait until single days are announced but I’m pretty sure I’ll be there

Nope! & I literally don’t know how I survived because I’m also someone who gets dehydrated very easily, so I had brought in I think like 6-8 water bottles and drank them all. I seriously didn’t have to pee until the SECOND I stepped foot back into my hotel room.. then I was dashing for that door lol. Still, I don’t think I could do it again as it was by stroke of miracle I survived that first one. I look back on that day and I think.. now how tf did I do that???
I also saw her at Music Midtown festival in 2014, which I took a casual approach to. It’s probably how I’ll do this festival if I end up going. MM is my local music festival, so I went with my best friend and we saw other sets at different stages that day and then got to Lana’s stage during the act before hers. Though we weren’t super close, it was still such a fun time. I also have bragging rights that I got to hear one of the four only performances of Money Power Glory with that one lol x

Omg like you couldn’t go to the bathroom or anything????? Wow… good for you Elle! I’ve never been to a festival and this is partly why lmao. It is on my bucket list to see Lana on a festival stage though so that’s why I’d do it for this show and just accept that I’ll be further back. 

I need to convince someone to go with me as well. If I do end up going, it would be so cool to see you guys

Last time, I got there before gates opened and was the first one in my security line to get into the festival and then I stood at Lana’s stage all day, but I definitely couldn’t do that again. Tbh I have no idea how I survived that, because it was standing in that one spot in front of her stage for 12 hours without leaving for anything. I think this time around I’ll show up later and just be in the crowd rather than going hard for a close spot lol x

if we’re doing a LB loners meet up, I’m in! Haha, I’ll probably be alone and will end up just going to Lana’s set unless I make friends or find another artist that day I really wanna see. 

Yes, and I’ll have to try to convince a friend to go with me too because I wouldn’t exactly want to go to a festival alone lol. But maybe I’ll see you there too if we both end up going

"Standout track ‘A&W’ suggests so: it mimics this equation almost to scale across a grandiose seven minutes and 15 seconds, four of which are all folksy strings, as Lana casually declares herself an ‘American whore’ – “it’s not about having someone to love me anymore,” she converses drowsily, like ‘Gods and Monsters’ Lana the morning after a night of debauchery – before the song thrillingly transmogrifies into a trap-hop kiss-off with an air of the spooky." - https://www.attitude.co.uk/culture/music/lana-del-rey-did-you-know-that-theres-a-tunnel-under-ocean-blvd-review-428719/
 
Love this reviewer pointing out the vibey link between Gods and Monsters and A&W, I don't think I'll ever be finished finding parallels to her old work in this new album 
 

The poster is more interested in the design side, rather than the grammar side, and is using a style from the 60s/70s when a lot of movie posters had some small text above the title, and then the title in quotation marks, eg
