Why are you writing this as if LB is stan twitter? 

ugh im so over the folk slander like everyone paid fishtail, peppers, and taco truck dust while let the light in (objectively one of the folkier songs on the album) was the one song to be the most popular… like jeez you guys would be gagging over yosemite if it were on LFL despite it being a dominantly guitar song

🍯 

Guys, idk the album tracklist. I’m just basing my opinion on what I’ve heard so far

There’s nothing to reveal rn… Henry as a single doesn’t even make sense.
it’s like choosing change as LFL lead

nothing will (hopefully) ever be as bad as Happiness is a butterfly being almost 2 years old by the time it came out 
 
at least with Henry we know it’s the first single and coming out relatively soon

thank god we’ll be out of the woods soon and we know it’s all set in stone now, but the henry snippet being one year old is just ridiculous 

Ocean Blvd is one of her most memorable eras to me, thanks to the well laid-out plan that everyone stuck to. 

I think this album will be showing us a side oh Lana that we’ve never seen before. She will show in depth her getting to a stable center of gravity. I truly think that this 13 tracks will be amazing 

When ppl say they want old lana back, like btd lana, my immediate thought is: THE MUSIC IS RIGHT THERE. Like, if you miss it so bad LISTEN TO IT.

I disagree. She has been in the boring, piano-based, acoustic genre for a while, and before that, she only did one true rock-influenced record and the rest was alternative pop. If she returned to pop, but made it less trappy and more dark pop like the weeknd or billie eilish, I think it'd be cool. Or if she returned to rock and actually did something heavy like Nirvana or Hole OR something new and innovative in the soft rock genre like Duster. OR she could go really experimental and electronic like Radiohead or Grouper. There's so much more she hasn't fully dived into like she has with folk/piano ballads.

What if I say that my top 5 lana songs are all from her last 4 albums  

I do agree with the second part of your comment, about the fandom hoping for things that aren’t coming back (like the guitar in BTD and the sonic landscape of UV) but I don’t think it’s wrong to want Lana to change and evolve her musical style. Her first 5 albums are all extremely different from each other, and while COTCC-BB-Ocean Blvd all have a slightly different sound, all three of them sound a bit mix-tapey with a slight lean into folk. 
 
even Paradise, which is considered an extension of BTD, is very different sonically. I don’t wish for her to go back to her old sound, but at the same time I would like her to tackle a different genre, which is why Lasso always appealed to me, some fans didn’t want country, but at least it was a switch up. 

some of you guys think that an artist has to change their sound every album to show musical growth when the greatest musicians of all time never left their original genre 
every music critic talks about how lana is always reinventing herself and how her work only gets better album by album, a&w was literally considered the BEST song of the 2020s so what are you guys longing for? i feel like this fandom has this nostalgia for something that is NOT coming back, just get over it and appreciate her work that she loves to share with us instead of complaining and remembering her older stuff every single time 

Lana has been stuck in this weird place since NFR. She hasn’t necessarily made bad music, all of it has been at least good other than Blue Banisters. It just seems like she has been spinning her wheels and waiting for something. She really hasn’t grown or shown much evolution since NFR and I think it is because her and Jack have really done everything they can together but they aren’t ready to part. It is also confusing because Jack talked about how they have been heading down a “strange” and wild path yet she is releasing another country/folk inspired project. It is so bizzare and I really hope she decides to switch it up soon because I feel like so much of her artistry is getting lost in translation 

hmmmmmm 

Snippets/leaks are now ruined bc we now think everything is AI.

Lana should lean into the faux latina thing again, a latina country era would be fab. Henry, Come On (Spanglish Version) would do numbers in latin america. Lana hire me girl I got a plan

It's been deleted I believe since she announced Lasso earlier this year, but I could be wrong

That mysterious photoshoot she did with Molly is intriguing. Let’s pretend the album is coming out May and we get an official cover picture for the album, should she continue the Polaroid picture theme ? I think she should honestly 

to me her plans are very clear and this doesn’t mean anything. her team probably saw that we noticed the links were up, which they were unhappy with, so they took them down like they did when chemtrails songs appeared on shazam. it doesn’t mean that the album is postponed or anything, if anything the fact that a link was up means that it’s all set in stone now  there’s no change of plans, in all likelihood, based on what happened the last few times, we’re going to get the preorder soon (which makes sense if the album is out in may, it would be around 4 months between preorder and release, like it was for ocean blvd)  nothing is delayed or postponed and we are getting this album without any additional chaos 

lust for life outtakes = onika
will leak = burgers 

When she releases Daffodils in April and it's a huge bop that it becomes the Espresso of 2025  
 
Idk, this song screams bop vibes for me, idk man I'm craving for LFL outtakes on this album or as a b-side.

If she scrapped the right person will stay and released the lust for life deluxe ep/album would I be mad
 

Album = Lust For Life outtakes
Was = will
Scrapped = leak
