I'm glad though she announced her country album so early though because it looks like so many artists are on this train now, so she won't look like a copycat then 😅

Really curious for the cover but I don't dare to expect too much. Her covers are more often miss than hit to me 😅🙈 I think the only covers I really love are OB standard, and some alternate covers like BB red vinyl, Honeymoon UO and Chemtrails blue vinyl. I don't hate the others (except white OB), they are OK usually, but far away from favorite pics.

i mean, they are, but so is america, that's why its funny lol

Very true, although I (German) always prefer my data in US hands if I have to decide. At least as long as the US remain a democratic state, lol.

 They say the Communist Party of China is spying on people but WHY THE FUCK would they be spying on unimportant people? 

That's actually a big thing, if you're interested in this, check out information about Sesame Credit and Alibaba company. Not saying that's why it makes sense to forbid it, as there are lots of other ways to spy, but you can be sure this data is interesting for them (especially from Chinese people living abroad, too) - and for many other countries.

She did it for Midnights so I’m hoping she does it for this one too

So do we think there will be signed stuff or do we think Taylor is done doing that?

There weren't signed things for Speak Now or 1989 TVs but does that mean she just stopped doing them for TVs or she stopped doing them altogether?

I hate not knowing

 

Looks like she does not sign art cards for the Taylor's version records. But since she did for midnights, I hope she does for the new album, too. But only if she releases them early enough to cancel the unsigned version. That was hell of a trouble for Midnights back then, lol. I'd love to get a signed photo of this amazing shoot, then I could sell my signed midnight version. Not really interested in that album anymore, but wanna keep at least one "autograph". (They are probably auto pen or fakes anyway I guess?)

last variant (hopefully) is a clear target exclusive with the manuscript as the bonus 

Wow, it's not red, lol. The red looked so bad in the folklore target variant. 

She usually doesn't release Walmart, UO, Spotify fans first etc. exclusive variants, right? Or have I just never seen them? 

I could imagine these postcards coming with the new yellow CD Pack 2 include pictures of Lana

https://store.dirtyhit.co.uk/format/1465862-bleachers-postcard-pack-2-with-cd

Available to pre-order on a collectors CD + Postcard set format featuring a compilation of 15 photos taken from the Alma shoot.

I'm glad I didn't order one of the vinyls before release day. Just saw the pics of them on discogs, none looks as lovely as on the mockup 🙄 I adored that peachy red marble, but it's just dark pink - white marbled... 

Wanted the variant in the middle

Yes, I got the exclusive Vinyl from the webstore yesterday and I listened to "Alma Mater from the day it was written".

It's different, it sounds like an early mix where in which Lana and Jack are giggling together and trying to put lyrics on the music. Actually, Lana sings a lot more than in the final version. I like it.

Thanks a lot, was coming here to ask about it (if she sings more) 😁

I got the last variant now, which I liked most luckily. If they bring up better and/or signed art print versions, I can still cancel until April I guess.

Omg does this mean she'll cover Savage Garden? (I am a big fan of Darren Hayes)

 Pre ordering an album without knowing the sound sucks anyways

That's what I dislike, too. We don't even have a single yet, do we? Do we know the genre even???

Thing is I wouldn't mind pre-ordering this one visually, but I wanna know which genre it is at least before paying 45 EUR, lol.

I can't stop listening to Fever! What an amazing album! 

Also listened to Body Language, but it's not the same.

Any recommendations on other albums? 

If you are not looking for a fever 2.0, "Kylie Minogue" from 1994 is surely worth listening. Totally different though! 

And I adore her jazzy Christmas album and the Abbey Road sessions. She covered some fever songs there, too. 

The body language vinyl will be heavenly, can't wait. They spread her best pics over the sleeve ❤️

Webfind:

Finally I could buy the mp3 from Amazon. Some songs are available now for download. 

Update: Omg, the Nick Cave song 😍

ordered because it's the last cover 

How do you know? Is this sure? 

I am not really acquainted with all her photo shoots, but I don't think I've ever seen a better photo shoot of her. Never found her as beautiful as on these pics.

Sorry, that's kind of a mystery. I'm unable to find it now. Was convinced it was yours and double checked. Maybe some technical error with frozen screens, no idea...!

Lana's ability to attract 1 million followers effortlessly is mind-blowing! It's a testament to the power of presence and perhaps a stroke of luck. Quite the social media phenomenon!

True. Can't wait for her LASSO account (not meant to be used) 🤣🙈

Love your Paris Collection artwork on insta. Is this a real photo you used for cover?

The photo she posted that @Dua Lipa had shared not too long ago from the scrapped 2017 NME shoot -

 

Is that really an outtake? It looks SO fake! I was convinced it's an ai Pic, as it looks like an error on her cheek. Maybe bad retouch!?

wait do we know how many versions she's doing? i wanna order both versions so i have both songs physically at least

 

i know i'm supporting the "problem" i just don't give a fuck

From what I understood there are 3 versions / bonus tracks already. (manuscript, the bolter, albatross) I cannot imagine her doing less variants than for Midnights or even folklore. Why should she stop?

Why does the U.K. UO never get anything like this 

 

I don't have Chemtrails on vinyl at all yet. For anyone who has multiple pressings, which is your favourite? Aesthetically I like the clear vinyl, green vinyl, and the red Neil Krug white dress vinyl — which should I prioritise hunting down?  

My favorite vinyl color is the second press of the amazon "beige" vinyl. The first press was kinda orange, and the repress was white, which looks best for the album in my eyes. 

Regarding the covers, I agree with the others, the blue RSD has the best cover. No idea why it's blue though, doesn't suit the album. 

I also like the (Spotify fans first) picture disc with the Country inspired / horse picture. 

So these 3 are my favorites of all I got. I only miss the crystal clear variant. (repress of the frosted clear one)

eh, it's shitty but there's not much we can do even if there is a big uproar about it. for many big artists nowadays making money is equally if not more important than making art (or making their fans happy for that matter.) i've learned to ignore it and just buy the variant i think is prettiest 

The problem is that you never know before if all variants will be available later, and her countdowns make this worse.

it is ridiculous espc with the timed webstore exclusive drops. I know Lana also has had lots of variants for her more recent albums, but they were available immediately and widely IIRC (sans retail/amazon exclusive ones) and all had the same track list. I wish she just dropped all the variants at once and kept them up - and we could just chose our favorite aesthetic. 

Very true. I don't mind some variants to chose from, even though I think it would be better for climate if artists limited themselves to a few and all sold in the same shop, as we know very well how many fans will buy all. And if there are only 3, they will only buy that much.

it’s not like she’s forcing you to buy it? and it’s also not just her, so many artists do this now

Well, the fact that she's releasing one bonus track per variant indicates at least that she actually WANTS people to buy all variants. No, she's not forcing them by holding a pistol to their heads, but I guess to many Swifties it feels like it, lol

On Facebook, several Swifties ("top fans", too) are revolting and complain about her one bonus track per vinyl.

not again... she'll probably announce another variant at the singapore shows too then announce just before release week all the "exclusive" variants are available at retail stores worldwide 

That's why I'm gonna wait. Also wanna listen to it before I buy it. Was too disappointed of Midnights. And seeing all versions of Midnights and 1989 everywhere makes me think most editions will be available still at release date. And since it's a new release, they might even put up signed-art-card-editions again shortly before release date. 

Besides I am boycotting this "only available for 3 days" - sales strategy. 

We haven't got even a single yet to tell something about the album style, right? 

Fully agree with the critics. These short distance flights can hardly be justified. 

(But, btw: Someone should also do an insta account to report about the CO2 impact of 10 vinyl variants sold in 10 different shops 😎 I think artists (incl. Lana) should think about how necessary this is, too.)

Watch the new album be full of reggaeton basic ass songs… 

 

the cover is cute though…

Not too keen on any of the 4 covers, but the vinyls look fantastic on the mock ups.  had to get the ruby version from fnac. Curious for the full album. Unlike many others, I also love her last albums, especially "Shakira." It's my favorite along with Laundry Service and Oral Fixation 2.

She sounds amazing, I’m kinda into this honestly. I haven’t had much interest since Lemonade so this is nice. 

Same here. Lemonade is my favorite album by her and partly it felt a bit country, which I loved. Got big hopes for this, just hope it won't be too much dance/pop style all together... 

PS: I still think she's exaggerating with all this half nudity and references to sexuality in her visuals, it is constantly getting on my nerves since the music video for partition. 

@Veinsineon my first thought listening was Kylie's Golden, too. 😁 Looks like she was kind of a pioneer 2016 again, before everyone else went country fusion.
