I cannot fathom that this thread is gonna die in two days. Like we came from the snippets and W magazine to scat to nauseating tagged leaks to some great magazine spreads and now the release real soon. This moment is always so important to me every album. let me give myself two seconds to cry

a&w became pretty popular + the titty pic that got over 500k likes on twitter  so i think the gp knows but if they don’t, they’re in for an amazing prize

this pre-release went by so fast but also so slow at the same time

I just listened to the three singles because they are the only songs that I'm sure are in HQ and I have the feeling that A&W is the most carefully crafted song, production-wise, it has so many little details. I think the grants is the "simplest" of the three.
 
A&W is a BIG contender for SOTY next year, that song is insane.

Midnight, post-party, on an old 1970s stereo system in a house with wood paneling and floral wallpaper. 

I wonder if BoZ is trapped and gagged in the same basement where the listening session for UK critics took place. 

someone posted a video of a therapist reacting to a&w and she interpreted the cartwheel line as the loss of innocence, because when women are just girls, they don't care if their shirt or their dress lifts up when they're doing a cartwheel, but as they get older, they lose that carefreeness and innocence because of the sexualization that society inflicts. it actually made me appreciate that first line way more

We’re in the home stretch y’all, but please continue to use spoilers when discussing leaked lyrics/themes/etc from the album. Thank you!

"Standout track ‘A&W’ suggests so: it mimics this equation almost to scale across a grandiose seven minutes and 15 seconds, four of which are all folksy strings, as Lana casually declares herself an ‘American whore’ – “it’s not about having someone to love me anymore,” she converses drowsily, like ‘Gods and Monsters’ Lana the morning after a night of debauchery – before the song thrillingly transmogrifies into a trap-hop kiss-off with an air of the spooky." - https://www.attitude.co.uk/culture/music/lana-del-rey-did-you-know-that-theres-a-tunnel-under-ocean-blvd-review-428719/
 
Love this reviewer pointing out the vibey link between Gods and Monsters and A&W, I don't think I'll ever be finished finding parallels to her old work in this new album 
 

ocean blvd creates a completely different vibe imo... i feel like we all would've expected aka 2.0
i think american whore should've been the title tbh... it's def more iconic and i kind of think the song encapsulates the album more than the title track
