I smell a new cover (and smoke)

thank uuuu <3
 
it's just a cute little name that means "best friends"

and why’s no one talking about her smoking cigarettes again?? raspy dark vocals on rock candy CONFIRMED 

UPDATE: Lana Del Rey has withdrawn from performing at Bonnaroo (Music & Arts Festival) in Manchester, Tennessee on Sunday: September 5th, 2021.
The event was originally scheduled for June 11th-14th, 2020 and then initially postponed to September 24th-27th, 2020 before being moved to September 2021.

 
 
Original 2020 lineup:
 
 

btd her struggle. paradise. her fame. uv her rage. hm her protection. lfl her bridge. nfr her love. cocc her freedom. 

so what do people usually do when they're free? 

like i could easily just say RCS (sweet) her revenge. this revenge gives me side quest vibes. 

but what do people usually do after their freedom? is it purpose? is she going to focus more on her purpose? 

that's my guess atm. 

This is the only type of country music im willing to accept, manifesting such brutal lyrics
 

Just thinking about how cool it would be if Lana did a painted album cover like Joni Mitchell but also had hand-pressed flowers onto it like she and Chuck often do (which Chuck posted about doing to her IG story a few days ago and tagged Lana).  I think it would be so beautiful so I made this

is Coyote Ugly considered country. bc i'd be down for that tbh

I had this weird thought that- if you took elements of COCC (country-ness, hints of an autobiographical Lana in the AKA/trailer park era), you could've gotten an earlier Kacey Musgraves album. Like NAWWAL could've been reworked for Kacey.
Fortunately, COCC turned out to be a very Lana album and it's something nobody is gonna touch in the near future.

Since it’s been a week & a day since Chemtrails was released, I thought I’d finally give my thoughts now that I’ve given the album proper time to settle. I’ve given the album about 30 listens all the way through so far, so I sort of know what my thoughts are.
First off, this just screams ‘end of summer, transitioning into autumn album. The original September release date would have been absolutely perfect, as this album would be a great play from September – November and I really look forward to hearing it then. Last weekend, my friend and I saw another friend for his birthday, and the three of us sat around a bonfire outside while I played Chemtrails and it fit the mood just perfectly. 
In my opinion, this album features some of her, perhaps even her definite, best vocals. Yosemite is just insane all around with her vocals in the very best way. Not All Who Wander Are Lost also features those gorgeous high vocals she does so flawlessly. The singing style on the bridge of Dance Till We Die is one of the best moments of the whole album, and I hope she makes more songs where the entirety is in the style of the bridge.
Dark But Just a Game is a career highlight. Anyone who disagrees with me here is just simply wrong. Immediately, the production on the verses and chorus reminded me of two separate songs, but I couldn’t quite place my finger on it. The verses sort of remind me of Adele’s version of Lovesong, but that’s not exactly what I’m thinking of. It’ll come to me one day in the middle of the night, I’m sure of it. Either way, this was an immediate favourite and I really, really hope she makes more songs in this sort of style.
I’m also glad to see Breaking Up Slowly finally getting some praise here and there, because I really do love this song and I knew I would. I’ve become quite the Nikki Lane fan after seeing her open for Lana in Wichita during the NFR Midwest leg, and I think her harmonies with Lana sound really pretty. I’ve been anticipating this song since the live snippets in October, and it lived up to my expectations.
I’m also glad Zella Day finally got her moment with Lana. I’ve been a huge Zella Day fan for the past 6+ years, so I’m so happy they finally have a song together (I just wish it was an original rather than a cover!)
I haven’t quite decided where Chemtrails lands in my overall album ranking, but it’s somewhere in the middle. I do feel though that with time, this album will crawl its way to an upper spot, especially when autumn hits and it really fits the time of the season.
 
Here’s my track ranking (subject to change over time), with 1 being my favourite:
1.     Dark but Just a Game
2.     Tulsa Jesus Freak
3.     Breaking Up Slowly
4.     Yosemite
5.     Wild at Heart
6.     White Dress
7.     Dance Till We Die
8.     Chemtrails Over the Country Club
9.     Let Me Love You Like a Woman
10.  Not All Who Wander Are Lost
11.  For Free
 
 
Something I will say about this album though is that the track order seems so weird to me. Songs like “Wild at Heart” & “Dark but Just a Game” seem like such obvious closing tracks, so it’s super odd and comes off as out of place to me that they’re both right in the middle. Also, the actual closer “For Free” seems much more like mid-track, like a little interlude. White Dress also just doesn’t seem like a proper opener either. As beautiful as it is, I just feel like it doesn’t set the tone of the album either thematically or sonically. I know it’s one of the more unpopular songs, but out of all the songs on the album, “Let Me Love You Like a Woman” strikes me as the most “opener”-esque. I think that thought is really because of how the song both begins and ends. The ending is so abrupt, that it’s almost like a pre-lude to the story she’s about to tell. Especially if it were to be followed by Chemtrails, I feel like those songs would be really nice back-to-back together to start the album. & that opening line from LMLYLAW, “I come from a small town, how ‘bout you?” really is so fitting for the album and would’ve been a great way to open it.  I reordered the album to what makes more sense to me and have been listening to it in a playlist & have really been enjoying this order, but I'm still experimenting with it:

 
 
 
Overall though, really love this album. I love how all of her albums are distinctly different, she truly is capable of anything. Can't wait to see what's to come  next, and will be happily enjoying this album in the mean time x

i want something like this for the cover

Have to agree. Ultraviolence fucked me up and I’ve been chasing that high ever since 

I have to agree with everything you said . I need to feel something again, something similar to how uv makes me feel   

ultraviolence makes me literally insane when i listen to it – there have been points where i have to monitor and reduce how much i listen to UV because as i said it can make me like very depressed or extremely overenergized and impulsive... honeymoon too but less so and other certain songs of hers  ALL I WANT is an album or at least a bunch of songs that just make me go crazy and emotional and insane. like hit me where it hurts tie my heart up in a knot knock me around
 
i don't care what toll it takes on me i need it 

manifesting an album that leaves me vibrating 

well I’m already tired of this sh%t okay? gonna listen to White Dress now and cry all over again bye bye see you tomorrow crazy people 
 

DREAM

Streaming like my life depends upon it!

She recently followed on instagram an AMAZING photographer / @nadialeelee so I’ve been thinking that maybe they shot something (album cover) together. I love her artistry, would definitely be a major serve 

Omg I can't believe this is happening but also I totally think Lana will really come through with this  This is my reality anyways: QFTC was Lana trying to surprise announce her album like she wanted to after NFR. That's how it came across to me, but it didn't have the surprise release effect because the date was too far from the announcement. And then the delay.....
 
But I bet she learned a lot from COCC's delay, especially about logistics and timeline between album submission and final deliverable.  So she still wanted to carry out her original vision of the surprise release with a similar QFTC-style announcement, but do it right this time in a way that's organized & well-planned but also in a way that is actually a surprise. I think that's why she's been telling us she's "going away for a while." And choosing to use this article from January... I think that shows that she's been excited to do this (and has been planning for a while) but couldn't announce before COCC obv. She probably figured she could use a negative review of COCC to respond to if there was one, and use this article if not.
 
Anyways if there is a god and RCS actually exists then it sounds like it will be the album that she teased in QFTC. COCC is introspective and talks a lot about fame but it doesn't address the double standards she's held to or the constant criticism she's received her whole career like she hinted at in that post. I'm hoping for jarring polarizing angry volatile vengeful psychedelic rock.... oh jesus I can't wait 

Sorry- I was bored lmao

This woman has projects coming out of her ass, she's like a pez dispenser

Why do I have the feeling this is just a colossal joke? So confused right now... But imagine two amazing albums released two months apart? 

she definitely goes on this forum and we know her team does so they just endlessly taunt us they know how to make us go absolutely insane
