    (...) . I truly think the days of her announcing an album with a super long, drawn out pre release is over.
     

    (...) 

     

    I think so, too, as these times (finally, luckily) seem to be over in general, but I also feel like September is realistic. She's just announced it, without starting a pre-sale. In the last years I usually preordered vinyls so many months ahead of release date, now it's like 2 months max. for any artist. I hope Lana won't be an exception, I'm tired of paying for stuff arriving 6 months later.

    I still have hopes of having Lasso this fall. She unofficially announced it early enough to be realistic and she's been working on it for a long time: (...) 

     

    Your whole "essay" seems very true to me.

    My copy is being held hostage by DHL Germany since the 12th of April 😭 I ordered it from the uk store and it’s meant to be coming to Australia… maybe some idiot got confused and tried to send it to Austria :icant:

     

    Is it in Germany still? This delay usually happens if the parcel has to be processed by the custom/toll office, but if it's delivered to a German address. (not to Austrian though, would be in an Austrian custom office then)

    I received my candy necklace from a warehouse in germany even though I ordered it in the uk shop so I guess they sorted out the customs issues. 

     

    This is great, maybe they indeed finally understood the meaning of Brexit.

    Not Lana asking us to watch Judah Smith as if police didn't find human remains and evidence of cannibalism in his LA home that he sold in 2013 :nene:

    Ugh I literally hate this stuff. I’ve always assumed Lana was smart enough to not fall into this bullshit. She’s so into the weird celebrity LA stuff and I don’t get it :um3: Megachurches are disgusting.

    She only wanted her 16 Million followers troll that live chat room 😅 Maybe it's a sweet revenge that Judah Smith didn't want his Interlude to be included to the special edition vinyl? 😁

    Also why are some of y'all in the Taylor thread if you don’t have anything positive to contribute :oprah7:

     

    I think it's natural that you might be critical towards a piece of work even as a fan. I also have albums I hate in the catalogue of artists I love. 

     

    I admit though I don't get the drama as I really love the album. Also the anthology extra tracks. It's surely forms my top three together with folklore and evermore. But I don't care much about her other albums (they are either ok (lover, 1989) or actually impossible to listen (red, fearless) in full to me), so I wouldn't call myself a fan.

    I don't think anyone will mind. On the other hand users who hadn't saved their creations will be extremely happy that you had saved their images which gives them a chance to witness them once again. You've organized all the images really well. You've got a lovely collection of AI images of Lana :thankyou:

     

     

    Thanks 😊 I think I got more AI than real pics of her 😅

    I wonder if some disappointment/boredom maybe comes more from the vocal range than from the music itself? I admit I never got into her that much because from the albums I heard I always had the impression she stays pretty safe within a special vocal comfort zone, with a limited vocal range and interpretation. Especially compared to artists like Lana, for who you can rarely guess how she's gonna use her voice - including everything from baby voice to screaming. 

     

    For this reason I totally love the extra tracks of the Anthology - she seems to experiment and to play with her voice there. 

     

    (But maybe I'm just not acquainted enough with her full music catalogue!? I find her pre 1989 albums very noisy from the music, so I played some tracks of them for about a minute and then gave up 😅)

    At first I thought the desert pics Niel was posting could be Lasso related, but since he keeps posting more I’m thinking it’s not, there’s no way he’d be leaking all of Lana’s album’s visuals. 
     

    Now that Coachella is over, and we’re almost only 4 months away, assuming there is no delay, I really think it’s time to start getting some crumbs of info. 
     

     

    I guess he could still post pics not to be published in the album later. Besides, unlike tunnel (I think!?) lasso was already announced by her, so I guess he doesn't spoiler anything anyway 😅

     

    Could be easily possible he got inspired for new material during an album concept shoot I guess. Besides, if Lana pics are taken at a ranch or something like that, desert isn't exactly the same.

    Same for me. And after listening to Ride for the first time, I was like "girl, I'm never gonna leave you again" 😅 funnily all this happened not before 2020 during covid Lockdown.

    I think OB is cohesive in the sense it feels like a journey, the songs blend because it transitions quite well.. I mean, A&W completely switches in the same song and it works! 
     

    for me I’ve always found BB the least cohesive.. it sounds like a mix tape. I love all the tracks as stand alone songs, but it’s a record I don’t tend to listen start to finish like the others 

     

    Totally agree!

    Personally, I think all of her albums have been cohesive except for Ocean Blvd. BTD was the hip hop/pop album that had classical influence all throughout. UV was gothic, keeping the strings but now adding psychedelia, electric guitars, and rock influence. HM was Baroque Pop, a combination of vintage music with strings, acoustic guitars, Old Italy sounds + synths, electronic beats, futuristic sounds. LFL used that same idea of combining old and new, but in more conceptual way: one half was electronic while the other was acoustic, both sides also reflecting 'lust' vs 'life.' NFR was the first album to start heavily utilizing piano, but still nicely blended it with synths, electric guitars, and strings. COTCC was her folk album with piano, acoustic guitars/bass, and subtle percussion for a much softer sound than anything else before. BB was the piano album and everything was strictly piano-based except a few acoustic guitar ballads. OB is the only album that isn't cohesive at all. For most of the album, it's again piano-based. Title Track and Sweet and Fingertips may be more orchestral and strings-heavy, but still have prominent piano. Then, there's like 6 songs that can't even be grouped together in a genre because they are so sonically different. A&W with acoustic guitar + piano that leads into trap, LTLI that is a warm organ and guitar song, Margaret which is a classic Bleachers-esque song, Fishtail which is an auto-tuned piano synth and electronic drums song, Peppers which is an electric bass and guitar song that also has rap and a fast-paced surf rock bridge, and then Taco-Truck x VB, which is closes in sound to Peppers because of the beachy electric guitar throughout the first half of the song. Then it transitions into a trap version of VB. 

     

    Actually OB felt totally cohesive to me from the beginning! Maybe the songs are different genre, but the way she sings combines the tracks perfectly by her voice and interpretation. Fishtails stands a bit out for me from the effects, but still it's not falling out for me. Both BB and even Chemtrails (not that much as BB though, and still one of my favorite albums) are much less cohesive to me. 

     

    I can't wait for LASSO as always when I think she cannot top this she seems to do it ❤️ 

     

    And please, Lana, give us a vinyl album package as Taylor's tortured poets department. I need such a case bound booklet with amazing Western movie film Noir pictures on high quality matte paper 😅❤️

    I'm so in love with the vinyl edition for the black dog. Don't think I ever had such a nice booklet. The photos and texture of the paper - I love it so much that I kinda want another variant. I haven't seen photos of the booklet inside for the Bolter version yet. 

     

    Was anyone here Fan enough to buy all editions and can tell me if the ivory and phantom clear version vinyls have the same sleeve/booklet? They both are manuscript versions as far as I know and have the same cover. 

    I found scans of the phantom clear variant booklet, but not of the white one yet.

    Omg please do share the folder 🤩 I'm so happy that you had saved my images as well. Thank you sooo much :kiss: It's really wonderful that you saved yours as well as other users images. I thought all the Bing images were lost forever and I would never see my images ever again. Please do share your creations as well. I used to love seeing your images. I miss the fun times we all had creating AI Lana images. I wish they would unblock Lana's name on Bing. 

     

     

    I've finally found the time to sort and upload them. That's why it took so long - there were so many, I wanted to bring a bit of order into the collection before sharing. 

     

    If you click on the link, you'll see the folder "00 by others". Inside are all the creations by other users I've saved in the last months. Unfortunately I'm unable to credit them - never intended to share the pics, but I don't know exactly which are yours and besides, there are such tons of pics, I couldn't try looking for specific authors. Hope nobody minds I share them. Just loved and saved them for my collection 😊 thanks to everyone for creating these.

    Most of yours are probably in the "fantasy and fairy tale" one.

    yeah and it’s so bizarre to me. I’m not one of those swifites that like everything just because of the Taylor name, but this is genuinely one of my favorite albums in years I don’t understand where the overwhelming hate is coming from 

     

    I'm not completely through yet but so far I like it very much. Much more than anything before folklore. Never really got into her older albums. So I don't get it either 🙈

    No, it plays fine! It just ruins the aesthetic :icant:

    I think I might sell it but I don't know how much people would pay for a knowingly marked vinyl when they could just buy a new one... I'm sure someone would probably buy it for like $20 on ebay or something instead of $40 for a new one... some people might not care about the black blob if it saves them money but I sure hated it

     

    Just wait until it's sold out and you'll easily get what you've paid. Besides, the spot makes it unique, just describe it as that, lol. Collector value of a mispressed vinyl, optically 😅

     

    I love these soft swirls/marble effect on my copy. And how yellow it looks turned against the light, like an illustration to "let the light in" 😍

     

    I cannot play it currently as we're moving and the speakers are packed already - did they fix the Kintsugi problem? I guess not, but hope is a dangerous thing. ..

    Believe it or not, I have one of these frosted ("transparent") Chemtrails vinyls which includes short black particles of 3mm long, looking like someone shaved his face in the factory over the pressing machine 😂 I still haven't made up my mind if I shall hate it or love it because that's surely pretty unique 😂
