I’m curious: 

Ive heard SYTH may be getting picked up on radio. Is there any evidence of this happening? 

I think I can say very confidently that the metaphorical fig she chose is that of her family. That of spending time and creating memories with loved ones. That of being a great aunt, sister, daughter. I think that seems to be what this album may be about especially after hearing The Grants. 

I think she started this direction of questioning life paths during Violet / COTCC era. It’s reminiscent of “No, i’ll let the others do the pondering, and while they do i’ll be on my lawn.”

and “in that moment, i decided to do nothing about everything.” from the titular poem. 

I think this is good evidence of a step away from the grandeur and a step into the simpler life. A family life and the mundane of every day. I think COTCC flirted with these ideas and asked lots of questions — but this is the decision— the statement record if you will about this “fig.”

by wristband do you mean an access one or is it the branded one theyre giving out?

It’s a paper one to get into the event. But it has the album name in lavender and Lana Del Rey written in the ocean blvd font

Any guesses as to first day streams? I’m guessing 780,000 for Tuesday release day. Partial day streams.

Man I thought “The Grants” would’ve made me cry… it’s too “optimistic” fml. She better drop something real sad on this album (outside of the title track). 

I think that there is an extremely touching aspect of this song revolving around themes of existence, death and grieving, and the human fear/anticipation  of legacy. Big cry vibes for me. And i don’t cry to music like ever. (the only lana song i’ve cried to is Wild At Heart [don’t ask why 😭])

I think the album will continue to convey these complex questions. We don’t give her enough credit for the fact that it is extremely difficult to write about these topics without sounding cheesy — but of course she másters through it as the greatest writer of our generation imo

1. NFR

2. Honeymoon

3. White Dress

4. Ride

5. Cruel World

6. Text Book

7. Born to Die

8. The Grants

9. Love

3-8 were all pretty close and could change based on my mood. I must say I really love The Grants, especially how crisp the vocals are and how moving it feels. I can see it shooting up to 5/6 as it ages. 

100% blind prediction: 

1. Taco Truck 

2. A&W

3. Fishtails 

4. Kintsugi

5. Candy Necklace 

6. Peppers

7. Grandfather 

8. Paris, Texas 

9. DYKTTATUOB 

10. The Grants 

11. Fingertips 

12. LTTI

13. Sweet

14. Margaret 

15. Interludes 

What’re your guesses on which songs will have playlist push on Spotify.

For example, for BB, IYLDWM was the song they pushed on “new music friday” and several others. I think that was a great disservice for the success of BB. Imagine if Dealer, the viral hit, was pushed to playlists. 

My guess is that Sweet or Candy Necklace will get playlist push? The guess comes from the fact that Candy Necklace seems to have some hype after the teaser and these are the 2 tracks earlier in the album that won’t be out yet by the release. 

What’re your guesses?

full meltdown imminent 

the iTunes length dropped during a work meeting and i completely screeched 

is it too premature to take a guess at the first week streaming numbers? 

COCC: 40,000,000

BB: 36,000,000

OCEAN BLVD prediction: 56,000,000

With her huge increase of streams in the last year I think it’s safe to say over a 50M first week

hi all 

im new here after years of browsing. i cannot contain myself for the album— the hype and rollout just feel so much more put together than previous records. 

for me, the most important aspect of her records is her writing and i just feel something in the water that this will be her lyrical magnum opus
