Great points all around. I definitely think critics will be less tepid this time (as compared to the reception Chemtrails and Blue Banisters got) because this album definitely feels bold, risky and passionate - it also seems to combine the maturity of her post-NFR work with the bite of her pre-NFR work which is a win-win situation because critics are now really fond of her and there’s been a willingness to reassess her entire discography with a fresh new look and recognize her greatness as something she’s displayed all along. So I think that bodes well for her ultimately.
 
The thing is: NFR was a wake-up call for a lot of people outside of the fandom to realize she was truly one of the best artists in the game and that realization came for an album that was seen and perceived as an instant modern classic: not confrontational or challenging enough to alienate audiences but with enough personality and uniqueness to set her apart from everyone else. That kind of sets the bar and the tone when it comes to people outside of the fandom so for an alternative artist like Lana who does little to no promotion, has no music videos for the era and is about to release her longest album to date, full of complex and really dense songs about heavy topics, I think it’ll take a lot of factors for her to get to a place where the basics of the recording academy to recognize her. 

Pretty much 8 days
 

realizing it's gonna be out next week
 

so nice to see such a positive reaction to this album cycle i love that most people here are really enjoying everything  lana has outdone herself yet again

Lana followed Rich Lee on insta who directed the Love, White Mustang, Fuck it ily etc. music videos so i hope we get something high budget like that this era 

lowkey hope so, i mean Lana is a versatile artist but it does feel like in the last three albums (ocean blvd, cocc and bb) she is kinda not leaving a certain comfort zone she created for herself kinda relying on the same elements for most of her tracks minus some songs (i said MINUS SOME SONGS i swear if someone replys with "what about peppers??) 
and while the results can be great i feel like if she doesn't switch her main sound up a bit for the next album it could start to get very repetitive
i mean just look at BTD-UV-HONEYMOON three completely different sounds back to back, that diversity is lacking in her recent projects and again, i'm sure Ocean Blvd is gonna be great, but for the next album i think she should go back to exploring again
 
pls don't fight me if u dont agree

Waiting for the song to telepathically enter my brain while on mute 

i haven’t even listened to the two singles so it’ll be a win for me on release day 

omg I just realized... we're getting the album NEXT WEEK 

Dude, I don't even know what to say... But, like: screw anyone who criticizes A.I. It's just wholesome fun. 
 
I'm a huge fan of ABBA and Lana, I expected her to mention the group or perform a cover, I'm even patiently waiting for the covers album to see if it comes out. This cover may or may not exist, but you've fulfilled a big wish of mine.
 
So: thank you. 
 
If you show it to anybody, nobody thinks it's A.I. it's so well directed. The way you did it looks really like the way Lana would do it.
 
I cried when I heard it and I'm here now repeating it.
 
So emotional.
 
Means a lot to me. 
 
Thanks again. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks...

I made this one really special .

Dancing queen is next . I will train my AI a bit more and after dancing queen I will reupload Harley’s because there is so much potential  

This should be on the NFR
Don't forget dancing queen 

oceanblvd reached 1m.. first post is coming  
in 3 years from now

I put a lot of effort trust me . It is hard. But thanks for the motivation

It's OK 
 
I'm listening to others. It's amazing how clean and realistic it sounds. Maybe it only works that well with Lana. It's like they're demos. 

Sorry for the delay I was experiencing technical problems and the process is taking to long .

Oh gosh, thank you very much. I can't believe I'm finally going to hear Lana singing ABBA 

Boz said some things...
"LANA....A SURPRISE IS COMING"
“personally I’m happy as fuck”
"I jumped when I learnt the news so let's get the hype going!"
"The album is not surprise dropping tonight and none of y'all are guessing it right, just wait" 
 
A friend of Boz' said "finally"
 
Neil Krug's instagram story said only "T-minus" with some waves
 
Kintsugi said...
"New music"
"It won't be a surprise if I say anything else, but it's worth the wait."
 
 
.....And there's this, BBC Radio 1 World Premiere on Tuesday where Lana is the “hottest record”. I'm not familiar with this, but reportedly this is usually a brand new song, not something that is already out and often includes an interview https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001jr12 .
 
...oh, and rumors on twitter of a Lana / Duo collab for the Barbie soundtrack
 
 

oh god same, I'm going through shitty time in my life rn and this era and this upcoming album is the only thing that keeps me alive.  

I’m sorry to hear </3 but if I know anything about you just by interacting with you on here, Poor Stacy, it’s that you have a conviction and character that will take you anywhere you want and need to be. Trust that everything will be okay in due time and that the music can guide you in the meantime. And as always, we got you ❤️
