Just woke up and apparently new stuff leaked? TACO TRUCK!? This is the moment I finally stop myself from listening to leaks, I can’t listen to that in low quality, but can someone fill me in: are they good??

C'mon y'all... just listen to Miss Peppers, you won't regret it

 

if people have the willpower not to definitely dont because it'll sound soooo much better in high quality. I just listened to the grants on Apple Music and for the first time noticed so many subtle instruments/inflections in the back of my headphones. peppers sounds like it has the most complex production of any song on the album thus far so it needs to be heard in maxxxximum qual

the credits reveal that they are nowhere else

 

i do agree that i wish their voices were more spaced out in the record rather than just the first two songs 

That's a shame, yeah I think having them spaced out would be better so it doesn't feel a bit top-heavy? Although maybe it speaks to the notion that the album is broken up into the 4 vinyl sides, each with their own distinct 'sounds.'

do we know if the background vocalists appear anywhere else on the album? I think they really add something and its a shame if they might only be on the first two songs.

This album is shaping up to be a true masterpiece. I know people are worried about Kintsugi, but we have three insiders who love or at least like that song (Rosemead, Kintsugi, Floridakilos) vs 2 who don't (111 and Bozo). I think Kintsugi is going to be a song that you either love or hate!

One of the things im loving about this album (so far) is that she's really managing to combine all of her different styles over the years into something very original and cohesive. like with peppers, for example, she 

Lana has always had the trap side, the piano ballad side and the psychedelic rock side, and I think Fuck it I Love You was the first time she found a unique way of combing those different sides into one concentrated song. So far every track on Ocean Blvd feels like it's all part of one cohesive body of work, even though they're not all the same genre.

Like I love Honeymoon, but the title track doesn't sound to me like it's from the same album as High by The Beach, and HBTB doesn't sound like it's from the same album as Religion (at least in my opinion.)

People who aren't listening to leaks: I admire your willpower, you're doing amazing. Don't give in and listen to these muffled low quality leaks like I am. You're gonna love it

I hope we’re wrong at the end! Even if I don’t take value in the Grammys as a barometer of quality these days, it would be awesome to see Lana  nominated for the big ones again to see her being vindicated. I hope all this love she’s being receiving from the likes of Eilish, Rodrigo, Rosalía, SZA, Kim Petras, Madison Beer, etc translates into goodwill and recognition. She’s truly the closest we have to Kate Bush/Tori Amos/Fiona Apple for the millennials and Gen-Zers.

This is the only reason I want her to win a grammy. I also don't have respect for The Grammy's and wouldn't trust them as a barometer of quality, I just want her to finally receive that industry recognition.

As you pointed out, she's an artist's artist, meaning that some of her biggest fans are actually artists themselves, and I could give another thousand examples of celebrities saying that Lana is their number 1 and that she "just keeps getting better" and hopefully the academy will reflect that sentiment.

While I agree that Ocean Blvd is shaping up to less accessible than previous works, the idealist in me believes that, if the songs are good enough, their untraditional structure won't necessarily make them unaccessible. The two interludes seem to be the most unaccessible, but they're interludes, and as for something like Fingertips, I can't envision people discounting the other 13-15 incredible tracks because they find one song 'too weird.'

So yeah, could be the idealist in me but I really do think she has a chance (of at least being nominated.)

Based on what I've heard so far, and how it compares to NFR, I really think this will be nominated for album of the year at the Grammy's. And I'm going to be so invested in her winning that I'm already nervous

The final three tracks on the album are going to be a fucking blast

did you guys know that

  Hide contents

a singer could still be lookin like a side piece at 33

 

I think that line (all the way to "im a ghost now") has beaten out my previously held favourite verse of Lana's (v2 of get free where she sings about "there's no more chasing rainbows"). there's so many ways to interpret this verse, and the mystery surrounding what exactly she's saying in the final recording, and the way its sung... ugh I really love A&W.

another zip appeared online. lemme check this shitty file from another random twink 

verdict??? 

I know its gonna be fake, idk why I do this to myself

Just now, Thats why they call me Dita said:

What on Earth is going on here, Lana just trying to take us to church and somebody out here spitting hate crimes 

the lanaboards delulu claimed another casualty. this is what months of speculation, listening to Rosemead exclusives and begging boz for clarity does to an impressionable mind.

add bozo getting arrested to the list of iconic OB pre-release moments

@BlackoutZone got arrested??? Omg

thats what he gets for hyping up lana fans for clout  

The interviewer could not hide how little she knew/cared about Lana… like what were those questions?

at least Lana gave us something… an explanation for the intro. But still.

now where’s that surprise?

bozo - I know you’re lurking these forums hoping people forgot about you…

you have until the end of this week for this massive unexpected overdue surprise to reveal itself. deactivating won’t save you from the wrath of a thousand Lana fans

listening to her talking now

I stole this from a random reddit post but this is quite interesting and I hadn’t made this connection:

So many references to Lana's unreleased song Yes To Heaven.

"Do you think about heaven" - "Say yes to heaven"

"Do you think about me" - "Say yes to me"

"I'm gonna take mind of you with me" - "I've got my mind on you"

"Should I do a dance for once" - "If you dance I'll dance"

If anyone were to doubt my level of commitment to Lana as a fan, just know it’s 5am where I am, and I’ve literally stayed up to listen to a radio release of a song I’ve already heard on repeat for several weeks, just because I wanna be part of the moment.

If anyone were to doubt my level of commitment to Lana as a fan, just know it’s 4:54am where I am, and I’ve literally stayed up to listen to a radio release of a song I’ve literally listened to on repeat for several weeks, just coz I wanna be part of the moment.

My last post before I force myself to get back to work...

of the songs I've heard, here's my colour associations:

the grants - earthy browns, autumn leaves and deep ocean-blues that turn into a lighter sky-blue as the song progresses

ocean blvd - ivory white and dirty, stained porcelain over dark blues, with a few tiny bits of neon blue when the piano dances over verse 2

sweet - earthy browns, autumn leaves and deep forest greens, occasional yellow like her shirt in the Arcadia video

a&w - faded sepia tones, almost black and white, and when the beat switches it goes dirty gun-metal, oil, smoke, petrol and electric blues

fingertips - all very light baby-pink, baby-yellow, baby-blue and lots of smoky grey over everything.

ok now do yours, bye

im still new here but I know when you're all delulu because Paris Texas is obviously a heavy metal dubstep anthem
