Escapism

I've listened to a few songs (WTWWAWWKD, 13 Beaches, Tomorrow Never Came, Heroin) and let me just say, those songs alone just...wowowow. I'll wait until the 21st for the rest of the album or at least I'll try. I hope she gets #1, she deserves it - plus I'm petty with Tyler the Creators tweet. Also, do we have any news of a OU exclusive? I think someone on here emailed them. I just don't want to make the same mistake with the Honeymoon vinyl.

Honestly, I don't care if it leaks or not. If it does I'll probably listen to it, If it doesn't then it's not really a big deal it's only a couple of days away, so I don't mind waiting a bit longer if it doesn't. All I care about at the moment is whether or not we're getting a OU exclusive cover so I know when and where to spend my coins!

Since there's so many TFJ concept coverarts, I wonder if there's any for Electra Heart and FROOT. I'm still bitter bitch due to not getting the deluxe EH songs on vinyl tbh. She should do what Melanie did where she took the deluxe songs, and special songs (like Gingerbread Man) and put them on a separate EP vinyl.

Honestly it just shocks me that the album is so close after waiting for so long. However, I'm just gonna wait until LFL vinyls are up for pre-order on OU before I make any purchase. I still have mixed feelings about the cover mostly to due with it reminding me of yearbook photos but whatever. I wish the cover were something like this (excuse the badly done manip it's like my second time doing one lol): I'm upset about the situation with Yosemite,RBFY, and BAR. Like I said before, I think like she did with Born to Die, she should do an EP edition and put those songs on there and perhaps do some of the collabs she didn't get to do for this album. I feel like if she put it out within the next year, our thirst for new music could be quenched and considering it would be an EP half the songs could be already done so she could start working on her next album.

I LOVE the two new songs, I'm hyped for the album again. However, I'm not sure how I feel about the boxset considering it's really similar to HM's and the lithoprints don't have a lot of variety considering we already have 2 pictures from there being used as the coverart and the tracklist art. I'm still holding out on buying the vinyl because I wanna see if we're gonna get a OU exclusive (and I missed out on buying the autographed version). I still wish there was a vinyl boxset though, I wonder why they don't do it anymore as in terms of sales, I have a feeling UV's would have sold much more compared to HM's but maybe it was too expensive to make? I'm not sure.

I'm really upset that Complex doesn't sell any physical magazines anymore. Her complex shoots have always been some of, if not my favorite magazine photoshoots. But I'm excited to see what's coming with this one.

When the preorder goes up (I'm assuming this includes physical releases), is it likely we'll see if we get a OU exclusive or the boxset? I don't remember from the past years. I'm sure if we do get a OU exclusive though, it'll be shot by Neil considering he does have a hand this era (plus it happened with HM/UV).The photoshoot will probably be done by both Chuck and Neil, but I hope it's images we haven't seen yet.

omg this look reminds me of the paradise tour, i hope she keeps it because it suits her damn well

I'm glad she finally said something about the pre-order and upcoming music. 2 weeks isn't that bad, but I hope she gives us some previews of stuff like the photoshoot and physical items. Since this seems to be a topic on here at the moment, I really hope she chills with the injections for a bit. It's just off putting compared to what she looked like during 2011-2014 even though she still looks really good. Her lips, were so well done and they suited her perfectly, but as of right now I just can't stand how there's so much fillers focused in one area (the middle) it just makes them look off. As for her face fillers, I don't really understand why she'd get that done- if anyone knows what they do exactly or why most people get them done please tell me as I'm a bit more naive on the subject. In the end though this is just my opinion and it's her choice on what she does with herself.

I feel like this describes how I feel about Halsey a lot lmao.

Is This Happiness

I actually like LFL (the song) but, for whatever reason whenever I listen to it I get really emotional...mess I like the photoshoots we've gotten this era but with the music we've gotten so far, I feel it doesn't match up that well and this era not having a specific theme doesn't help. For example: UV had a pretty consistent look, but it wasn't to a point where it got boring. The photoshoots in the era (including magazines and what not) were all able to evoke what UV was giving out. I could go through almost any of the shoots and somehow be able to match it to a song. I could probably say the same for BTD/P. This era, so far hasn't really done that for me. I understand we're not even that far into this era, but with the songs we've heard so far just doesn't match up with the visuals and photoshoots.

I see what you mean and it probably wasn't the best example lmao, but I still think it's overall a much better photo than the one we have on LFL as in the factors on it outweigh lot of things that I disliked about Chuck's photo. And the pose on the LFL cover combined with how she's smiling reminds me of an ID or yearbook photo which is probably why I find it so cheesy looking.

If she is changing it, I'll be really happy I really like the concept of the cover- it being reminiscent of Born to Die, but also being the opposite. But I just couldn't bring myself to fully love the album cover. Her smile just seemed forced, her makeup wasn't that great, and the overall photo was okay at best - I've said it before and I'll say it again, it looks like a screenshot from the Love video pasted in front of a Green Trunk and was just way too clumped together. I'll always love how Nicole captured Lana's smile, for example: There is one thing though, that I really want and that's her iconic font. I wouldn't mind if she did what she did with HM and had her name in the original font and then the album title in another. Nevertheless, I hope what we get is good.

Honestly as much as I hope LFL beats the UV era and BTD era for me, it won't. I can't say that in terms of music, as we haven't heard the full album yet, but when it comes to everything else, then yeah. The Love video had some amazing visuals, Lust for Life was... cute, but they're not magical for me. There's something missing that made the BTD & UV (or at least SOC, for sure) videos so iconic. BTD and UV's visuals were consistent, even for photoshoots. BTD was able to present the gangsta nancy sinatra and sultry retro style very well through beautiful attire, makeup, big hair or curls. UV's, although more laid back, the t shirts, ripped jeans, eyeliner under the eyes, the dresses, somehow were all able to contribute back to the music and how she was presenting herself - I'm not sure the exact words to describe it, but I'm sure some of you can figure out what I mean. The photoshoots this era are nice, but I feel like I'm not able to connect it with the music we've gotten so far. The music itself for those eras, were able to captivate me. I felt a connection to the lyrics and the sound, this era I don't. It doesn't mean I don't like what we've gotten so far, but I just don't feel the connection, at least compared to her other singles. The way the album is being released, is terrible. I don't mind the wait, but I lost most of my hype a long time ago. And I HATE that she hasn't released an album sampler. The one's for UV and HM got me excited, they gave a taste of what the era was going to be like visually and musically. lmao sorry for my rambling, but I do hope that my opinion changes in the future

I just want to get this off my mind but, the people on Twitter commenting about the album when Marina's trying to spread the word/help on a tragedy (I'm referring to her posts on Grenfell Tower) are disrespectful to both Marina as well as the victims and make me sick.

I really hope we get a homemade video this era

um??? https://hamadamania.com/2017/04/19/marina-diamandis-enlists-big-taste-jesse-saint-john-for-new-collaboration/ https://hamadamania.com/2017/05/05/marina-diamandis-drafts-sarah-hudson-jason-evigan-for-new-album/

A little late but G Eazy who??? Marina and her look like a really cute couple and the piano ballad just escalates it!

I know we're already getting 18 (maybe even more) songs, but I really hope we get an edition to the album like we did with BTD. It makes sense to me mostly because this album is almost like a mature BTD in a way?? Lust for Life which contradicts BTD's title, the album cover with her smiling on it instead of pouting while also being in front of a green truck and a blue sky, plus I do think there is a point where there might be too many songs for one record and she said there were a lot of songs left off on her instagram post, so to me it would just make sense to have an added Lust for Life () edition instead of trying to pack everything down into one record (i mean ill give her my coins but the physical releases are gonna be a hefty amount of money). idek what i'm talking about im just a tired hot mess that wants more songs and dont want any to be snubbed from vinyl releases like burning desire, flipside and is this happiness. Also she really needs to stop filming while she's driving

I don't care if people don't like rap or a certain artist, but some people really need to chill the fuck out lmao.

Cry Baby - 18 Dollhouse - 12 Sippy Cup - 19 Carousel - 16 Soap - 20 Training Wheels - 11 Tag, You're It - 22 Pacify Her - 41 Mrs. Potato Head - 17 Mad Hatter - 21 Play Date - 18 Teddy Bear - 14 Dead to Me - 41 Gingerbread Man - 17

Ok, but what was this ben's pathetic attempt to lie to us? He could have easily just said the album is delayed until July 21st b/c Lana wanted to add things or something rather than just tell us the album was unfinished altogether and not give any indication of a date considering we had it in Paris Match and they went of their way to edit it out of the Ted thing. Maybe he really was unsure or he just didn't want to take anymore heat from Lana fans, either way unprofessional. What a mess.

honestly if we don't get deluxe tracks this era or have a mediocre HM boxset again...

im also crying on the inside it's like they want the album to leak, i tried to lie to myself for a few seconds and think she was hacked im a mess
