DLT

Agreed, Lana was at a really interesting point in her career for LFL though, that attributed to it being less complete feeling wise. We all grow and change which she obv has but I feel like there was more pressure and eyes on her in regards to pushing for success/mainstream presence. Now she has solidified herself and proven she is a mainstay regardless of traditional success so she is more free and evolved. This has allowed her to really capture what LFL could have been. I find her comment about this album being so easy to make super interesting too. Like let's all take that in for a moment. This is something she regarded as easy and just going with the flow and yet she has made one of the best albums of her career 10+ years in the game. Innate talent, intuition, vision, and success. Love to see it!

I am so ready to see the reviews, sales and gps reception. Not that any of that truly matters bc it doesn't. This will forever be a defining album for her I feel. It is just interesting to see how other people interpret her work. I am perched! Good/bad, we know this is a career highlight and that's that on that.

Send help...

Yep, nail on head. Idk, there really isn't another artist that I follow that can do that for me. It is something very special. We get a very real feel/connection into her world but at same time relate it back to ours. It's not something many could pull off, very rare. Nowadays especially.

Love this. Yes, I really never understood the hate for her opening her world up to us. She is human, she has grown and evolved. Her artistry is more open and honest now than it used to be. It only made/makes sense she includes those around her in it. Idk, I always loved the insight it gives/gave. Plus we all have people in our own lives that we can still relate the stories/situations back to.

Lol, love this! AW Sun (Aries) Candy Necklace Moon (Scorpio) Peppers Rising (Sag) I can definitely say this seems very fitting lol.

Preemptive ranking (that nobody asked for lol), will change with time. Will revisit for post release thread. I know some of my ranks are going to be unpopular but we all connect with different tracks/vibes. That said all the tracks on this album are amazing. Think this may end up being my fave album. Artistically she is on another level. Lyricism, production, mood-all of it. It is her most ambitious project to date, and she DELIVERS.

I've already listed to some of OB today but I am going to try and abstain from it until official release lol. The struggle!

It may just because I've had it on repeat but I would love/would have loved LTLI as a single.

People are getting ready, they know AOTY coming this Friday. But no seriously the drop off and pick up is awesome.

That looks nice! Minus the long ass acronym lol. Maybe DYK would have been better.

From the little I picked up on it seems like it didn't sale as much as was anticipated in its first week. So I think it may be less of a concern than what was once thought. That said could still generate enough to block Lana maybe. Morgan will definitely be the one to block #1 though from the little bit I have seen about his sales, he is doing massive #'s even if they are less than what was originally projected. Good deal, always seemed like maybe they do well here. Hopefully we can snag #2 then lol!

I knew Miley's debut was less than what was expected. Ugh Morgan, mess lol. I really don't follow or listen to Kpop but I know their fanbases can be crazy lol. I thought maybe there was a solo album coming out from a member of a main group or something.

Yes exactly lol! LFL and Honeymoon will always hold a special place in my heart. Gives me those good feels. Glad we made it through the COCC/BB trenches. I think we are in store for a refreshing release here. While she may not be promoting like she used to it definitely is still something very special. The energy has shifted and again you can feel the anticipation. I almost wish it would have been a summer release though. It just has that vibe to me lol.

Who's her main competition for release? Morgan, Miley... Isn't there a Kpop band and or singers releasing too?

Poor blue lol, we still stan though.

Yeah, saw you post the #'s. I just knew NFR wasn't #1. There was something in the air in 2017 though, even if less sales the energy from the release was palpable. Maybe that was just because I was on vacation when LFL came out but we had a lot more interviews mag shoots, etc etc lol. NFR release was very good too. It is always interesting how looking back you correlate album releases with different life events/times of your life. That is a side note not specific to the topic at hand though lol.

#2 would be amazing, very interested to see what the actual sales equate to.

NFR was a grower, sleeper hit in a way. It came in at #2 or #3 I think. LFL had everybody hyped and ready, all the magazines and publicity... awww good times lol.

I've ordered all the vinyl variants with exception of the picture disc and none have shipped. Oh well lol, for some reason they always ship out later for me it seems. Both my Target and Amazons are now saying 3/28-3/30. Lana's store always takes a bit and the indie one has no update at all. Fingers crossed it just pops up one day... before the 24th lol.

Ready for them to start posting, not expecting any till at least mid week though.
