I'm here all the way from under the sea! I chose the dress that reminded me the most of my fellow fish and mermaids! 

 
This look is also to honor @lustforlife who is nominated for best banned member this year! They unfortunately couldn't be here tonight, but perhaps their French husband will make an appearance 

I feel like The Grants will be similar to Blue Banisters, 13 Beaches, and Ocean Blvd (it will probs flow nicely into Ocean Blvd) 

Also, I’d thought I’d include Charlie’s Insta story lol, he is a Grant after all

grandfather.. up until the d, i thought it was going to be grants 

i totally agree. i think the take on axl rose is interesting and it’s possible, however, it does give this heavenly, utopian feel to it. the first time i listened to it i instantly thought of going into heaven. the children’s laughter also adds more of that heavenly feeling to it. it’s such a beautiful song, and i totally agree that she could’ve been inspired by axl rose, but there was something else that really drove the song. i went to bel air briefly a few months ago and it reminded me of the song. coincidently, i saw roses as well. it was such a fun, calming feeling.

i like to think maybe its bc she's not afraid of expressing herself about very real things imo

not sure if this is the place or if theres already a general tracklist rearranging thread elsewhere
but like the Lana rearrange thread, but for other artists <3
 
here's a few that ive done <3
 
Ashley Tisdale - Guilty Pleasure
 
Cher - 1987 self titled
 
Cher - Dark Lady
 
Marina - Electra Heart (my fav that ive ever done)
 
Rihanna - Rated R
 
 

This is a very cool idea! I'm going to divide the tracklist into smaller sections, because I suspect that there must be some thematic and sonic cohesiveness.
 
The Grants: An orchestral and lush introduction to the album. Probably a very wordy track. I have a good feeling about this one! The strings will directly lead us to Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd. Honeymoon (title track) vibes.
Sweet: confirmed to feature "beautiful strings". This one sounds like a potentially soft love song: simple and soothing. It might get lost in the shuffle, but I think that it will be a very pleasing track. Love song vibes.
- - -
A&W: The sound of the album will change dramatically here, as we are introduced to a supposedly "angry acoustic guitar ballad". I'm expecting a very layered development, given that insiders have told us that it's a "wild", "unprecedented" and "adventurous" track. It somehow ends with an intense trap beat, so this one should be one of the most memorable tracks. I think that it's kinda connected to the last three (supposedly "vibey") tracks, but I like the fact that it's placed so high on the tracklist. It must be quite important, and I assume that it must be quite wordy, too. Venice Bitch x Cruel World x Black Bathing Suit x God Knows I Tried vibes. 
Judah Smith Interlude: Placing a pastor's sermon right after three explicit tracks and especially right after "American Whore" is obviously intentional, and the alleged "eerie" and "unsettling" background music should be quite intriguing, too. This will keep us A&W's weirdness/experimentation, but might also be thematically linked. Bare Feet on Linoleum vibes.
- - -
Candy Necklace: I'm expecting a dreamy yet slightly eerie jazzy ballad. Swan Song x Blue Banisters vibes.
Jon Batiste Interlude: Allegedly this has amazing instrumentation, including bass and potentially electric guitars, so colour me surprised! I suppose that they must have improvised this one, so we'll probably get something very random and creative. Black Bathing Suit x The Other Woman vibes? Lol, no idea.
- - -
Kintsugi: Things slow down here. This will be the minimalist track of the album. Sparse, wordy, deeply affecting and personal. hope is a dangerous thing x White Dress x Yosemite vibes.
Fingertips: This track is a continuation of the wordiness/automatic writing style of Kintsugi, but it's orchestral and even wordier. Wildflower Wildfire (but with strings!) vibes.
Paris, Texas: a simpler, more melodic and accessible track, featuring that lovely SYML sample. I think that it'll be breezy and vibey, but its lyrics will be as confrontational and confessional as Fingertips and Kintsugi's. Norman fucking Rockwell x Happiness is a butterfly vibes.
Grandfather please stand on the shoulders of my father while he's deep-sea fishing: Piano-based, but with a rich progression. Yet another (very) wordy and poetic track. Mariners Apartment Complex (replace the electric guitar with strings!) vibes.
- - -
Let the Light In: Probably the jazziest track on the album. I'm expecting something very warm and earthy. Buddy's Rendezvous x If You Lie Down With Me vibes, obviously!
Margaret: I'm expecting something chill and synth-heavy. Secret Life vibes.
- - -
Fishtail: This one should have lots of synths and ambient piano. The vibey track of the album. Cinnamon Girl x Tulsa Jesus Freak vibes. 
Peppers: Probably a strange/experimental track with trap beats and electronica. Sultry and grounded. A weird version of Cherry in a way.
Taco Truck x VB: Very playful and fun track that slowly turns into something psychedelic and intense (hence the VB sample, probably something from that song's last 4 minutes). Probably a hint at LDR10's sonic direction. It's interesting that this album probably ends with more upbeat tracks. Usually Lana puts very quiet/contemplative ones at the very end of her album's tracklists, but it seems that these ones are mostly placed in the middle part of the album. Obviously Venice Bitch vibes.
 

 
It's very difficult to decipher how this album is going to sound in general. But I think that we're going to get something very special. Insiders keep mentioning that we should listen to the record with an open mind, and that it's sonically unexpected and adventurous. Not to mention that the lyrics that Kintsugi teased + the opening lyrics of Fingertips + the lyrics of the title track indicate that the album might have the strongest writing of her career. 
 

Open me up, tell me you like me
Fuck me to death, love me until I love myself. 

LIKE THE TUNNEL UNDER OCEAN BLVD

The last song on the album usually gives a hint of the vibe for the next album so that means Taco Truck × VB will have some indication of the direction she's going in next
 
aka Venice Bitch 

They forgot to release A&W as a single today, can somebody message Ben about the situation.

so what’s y’all’s favorite song on the album??? I think mine has to be Paris, Texas but I also love The Grants 

Saw Hermit the Frog live in October. Such a masterpiece !

Marina’s Off To The Races is Froot and that’s just that .

the oracle told me that ocean boulevard is influenced by paradise, ultraviolence, lust for life and blue banisters

I’d never stop laughing if it ended being real  

it's just speculation and mostly jokes because seans wedding anniversary is on saturday  we truly are doomed

Grandfather please stand on the shoulders of my father while he’s deep-sea fishing because hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have – but I have it, also did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd?

The Grants better have a grand orchestral intro and flow perfectly into tunnel or what was the point?

I like this idea, so I’m going to do my personal opinion !
