as for repeated use of words/memes/ etc-  That is a positive thing. That is a good thing. Why make it into a negative?
That is a tenet T.S. Eliot used all the time.
 
Not to shabby to be the modern day T.S. Eliot, don't one think?
 
When one hears Lana singing a Lana song, one immediately knows it's Lana.
 
Every person behind Lana is like every person in a Conga line after the leader.
 
Lana in effect is Sgt. Pepper leading the band of imitators
 
As for leaks- if one doesn't want to hear a leak, DON'T.
 
And anyhow, if one does, so what? Come the official release buy it play it click it stream it repeat repeat
That way one can have it count officially.  Seems a no-brainer to me

NOTE ABOUT BILLBOARD'S TRACKING-
albums were changed to Friday for the universal release date HOWEVER and this is important-
 
Songs are still using the same tracking days as prior. Songs/singles are not on the Friday schedule only albums (but Billboard will still only release the official charts Tuesday morning for all forms of music).
 
Some posters in the last few pages have gotten that info wrong.

Don't quote it. Quoting it means it shows up continuously with everyone who quotes it.

If one looks at Nina's youtubes and read the comments, one would see Lana covering Nina has increased Nina's totals in an amazing number.
One would think most of Lana's younger fans never heard of Nina and never would have found her videos until Lana did her songs
 
Which leads Nina to have new younger fans, who will go and purchase Nina's music and keep Nina immortal to a whole new generation (Lana brought me here you see all over the comments)
 
What could be bigger than getting Nina Simone a new generation of fans, and perhaps, entry into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame.
 
Same as how many kids looked into who in the world Lou Reed or Leonard Cohen or Walt Whitman or T.S. Eliot are.
 
as for politics, Lana being so into science is very political.
(being that in the US, most of the Republican party insists that there is no science at all, and all is a lie).   etc.

I am very impressed with the photo and the perspective of the yacht/model.
Bravo to Chuck.

akaLizzygrant-  as said in a prior post-
 
Burnt Norton is the name of a home/mansion and it's in the same way Skyfall was the name of James Bond's old home in SKyfall (with the theme sung by Adele)
It was turned to ruins during the WW (note that somewhat also connects Ultraviolence's video with Honeymoon. If Burnt Norton were where the bride in the video was singing

It would be one thing is some here were talking about Billy Joel
NO (that's ZERO) new songs in 22 years now, with none at any time soon
No touring for years and only because he is such a bad business person and went bankrupt a few times, does he lazily now do one show a month at Madison Square garden seemingly forever,
and basically playing to the same 18,000 fans with money each month.
Nothing wrong with it
 
But Lana has released albums every year (and for all intents Paradise is and should have been a separate album, and when people say Born to Die sold so much, some of those sales were because
the same person bought another copy of BTD when buying the deluxe Paradise (they count the same)
 
Meanwhile, streaming is what people do now, and not physical cds (Lana has had 3 big selling vinyl in a row) and Lana is one of the most streamed artists in the world
 
Though some would want her to be Selena Gomez, the simple question is WHY???
 
BTW, the head of her record company just got another 5 year deal, and he thought enough of Lana to be pictured on Billboard seated with her and Kanye.
He knew that no one wanted to see his sorry face but wanted people to buy the magazine so he personally picked Lana for that.
 
Meanwhile Lana can go on vacation and if she wants no publicity, can just go and have fun
If she wants publicity, she lets the paparazzi know and they photograph her
It's her CHOICE.
 
and for all people complain about this or that, the video for Ultraviolence IMHO was great, stylish, and set-up Honeymoon perfectly.
Honeymoon could have been an EP for Ultraviolence. I am happy its a new stand alone. As Paradise should be.
 
And what are era's anyhow? I call them chapters. In a book that won't ever have a final chapter, Honeymoon is just the latest chapter.
 
As Rick Nelson said about all the people complaining about a show he did in Madison Square Garden when it seemed the audience only wanted to see Ricky Nelson, his teenage self and not the current day Rick Nelson, he wrote Garden Party with the immortal line
 "Seems you can't please everyone, so you, gotta please yourself"
 
(RIP Rick Nelson).

I notice in the LAX video, that every single person in the airport knew who she was, unlike in older airport videos/photos where it seemed like no one knew.
 
These days, one doesn't even need a record company, and Lana, witness the 350 songs, most of which are not on records, many of which her supporters know about anyhow and can access.
 
Great artists paint. (sing, write, live)
People whose lives depend on great artists to put food on their own table sell things to justify their own life but without the artist, all those people are nothing at all.
But the artists work stand regardless
 
BTW- Lana is probably (shudder to think what the negative nelly's and ned's and Debbie downers would say) going somewhere to do publicity or interview or something for Honeymoon. Or maybe yesterday she
finished the last song and is justifiably going on vacation.
Life is short. Hope she had a safe flight, and does whatever it is she wants to do and only listens to postiives and no negatives.

Universal release dates for new records are now Fridays.
So that means Fridays are as follows :September 4-11-18-25 Oct. 2-9-16-23-30
The new CBS Late Night with Steve Colbert show starts Sept. 8 (If there is one live US TV show she does, this is the one. I don't see her doing anything on NBC ever again. Not with the way she was abused by Brian Williams and his tweets. And everyone in the US is going to be watching Late Night with Colbert when it starts.
 
A look at the upcoming record release schedule shows there are more unknown release dates for other superstars and everyone has to get their own debut week so each has a clear run at #1.
(Like movies in the US, record companies plan around each other to not stand in the way. Though not all always keep to the honorable thing.)
 
So there are 9 Fridays in Sept./Oct. but most likely it wouldn't be Labor Day weekend, and the weekend Gomez releases hers (though its not a sure thing Gomez would debut at #1, but assuming so, it's down to 7 and there is Rihanna and Britney.
Rihanna will probably spend a few weeks at #1, so it should be before hers.
Possible other albums still to come in the fall- Chris Brown, Ariana Grande, Maclemore, Kanye Fleetwood Mac & Rod Stewart (though it's unknown whether  the last 4 are big enough to seriously be instant #1s, they would be definite top 10s). Then there would also be unexpected releases from Superstars.
 
If it were me, release it officially Friday 12:01am Sept. 11 with an appearance on CBS's Late night with Colbert Thursday Sept. 10, put it out later that night at Midnight everywhere.
