Nevermind

Lol you beat me to it but I basically said the same thing.
I think we’ll get a second single and MV but probably on actual release day and not before. I agree that I think she wanted a surprise drop and this is the closest we’re getting. Not a surprise but the mystic is thicc

The real controversy is probably in the lyrics  and I'm excited for it 

LMAOO no i know that the effort for promo this era will continue to be null (and will continue to be null forever) but she looks happy with this album thats what i meant. these past eras..  she wanted to throw the whole records away 

Also, am I the only one kind of loving the silence? It’s building so much tension. I love that she doesn’t have a release formula like most mainstream artist.
Based on what BOZ said about it being an experience I’m glad she’s not dropping a bunch of random singles. Giving us the title track and going radio silent for three months about it is perfect. Idk why either the label or management won’t allow a surprise drop but this is the closest we’re gonna get to that for now.

The only thing I think is deliberate is the fact that she wants us to hear the record as a whole without too much spoilers cause Lana absolutely loves to release random songs at any chance she has so that's the real difference between this record and the past 3

Even back in the Honeymoon days, she did an interview saying that she hated promoting her albums and her managers always got mad at her for being lazy. Now she has more freedom than she did before to just drop records with little to no promotion. 

Y’all are WAAAAAAAYYY over thinking the A&W title. It’s just camp kinda like Cola was. Y’all complain about missing “old Lana” but then don’t like it when she does something campy like this. It is not that deep.

That means the music does all the talking. She’s gonna spill her guts.

I think she truly wanted to just surprise release this album digitally and her label said no. So she had to announce it early with a single for sales reasons but her intention is once again to just release the album and that's it.
 
This rollout feels way better just cause we didn't have 6 months early singles and fake dates but I don't expect any huge promotion or LFL levels of content.
I still think a second single and MV are the bare minimum tho so I think we'll get that at least 

I kind of hope the record doesn't leak and if it does its only like a few days before, because I am going to California the 9th-12th and really want my first listen to be while I'm high on the beach

Yeah, even though we've gotten crumbs so far, I agree with @tulsa that it feels much different than Chemtrails and Blue Banisters and it actually does seem like she loves this new record, she's just lazy af lol

Just go get a chili dog and root beer float from the A&W restaurant and your wish will be granted.

Yeah, A&W is the most "old Lana" song title we've gotten in years. I get that it doesn't make sense, but isn't that the entire point of this new album anyways? That it's chaotic and all over the place between two different states of minds?

Yeah y’all are over thinking that too
American whore and Jesus? Really? God were so desperate. Do something Lana!!!

i personally dont find performances really exciting, what i do crave are interviews and lives and a little more public excitement from her for the records. when cocc came out not only was she obviously not excited but she also wasnt very happy with how the album turned out. though this era doesn't have that kind of "public excitement" that she lacked during COCC (and BB too, kinda?) i feel like she's actually happy with this record and is excited in a different way. the album rollout makes me think she actually has a plan this time because it's something that she truly cares about, meanwhile during BB she was releasing shit out of the blue to get it done with
