Escapism

There's just one thing missing that could make this whole thread even messier
 

Even if Eclipse were lying he's not really gaining anything from out. If you don't beileve him just keep it to yourself unless you yourself have amy evidence

I was just wondering who which photographer took this photo and when
 

This is one of the proofs
 

i honestly hope she does some nice record releases this time around like she did with the btd/paradise era. i mean UV and HM missed out on that imo when it comes to  picture discs/7in singles type of thing.  

wow love how my alternate account is leaking iconic bops  something I could never do 

Reading 83 pages of a pre-pre-release thread like,

The UV boxset was honestly the best in terms of the pictures and aesthetics. I mean quality wise the vinyl didn't play well but it's gorgeous. Here's to hoping Neil Krug is the photographer for LDR4/5 or at least someone new!

That reminds me that I still need the Blue Jeans and National Anthem picture discs.

lets argue about something more interesting; Subversive is a dumb album name and I'd hate for Lana to name it that

Paradise is not an EP though. Interscope used the same strategy like they did with Gaga for The Fame Monster. Technically, counting the tracks, it is an LP by definiton. Interscope just sells it as an EP so the sales get added to Born To Die.
So next album is LDR5

I see this as LDR5 but don't count LDRAKA because she wasn't even REY back then. You can't buy it either, and BtD is the beginning of her current form, so btd is ldr1.
 
I count paradise as separate because it genuinely differs a lot from BTD, and has different religious themes and cutting lyrics. So Paradise is ldr2 in my eyes, even though it is just an ep.

The thing is we know by now how sellings and charts are simply based on how an artist is known and how he/she promotes their work with big budgets (just like the elections). Some big pop music stars don't even write their own music, but they have built a name that's so solid, that the name ALONE is enough so that their album reaches #1. It doesn't mean quality at all. People don't even know the songs sometimes.
For example, I remember when Lemonade was realeased, all my straight friends (who don't listen to pop music at all) knew about it, even though they didn't like Beyoncé or knew nothing about her music, but the media was so explosive about it that everyone knew about its releasing.
BTD being in the charts years for now shows that the promotion that was done by the label worked. But with the fame came a lot of suffering and Lana saw herself in a position she really didn't enjoy. I feel like her music was always somewhat intimate for her and, although she wanted to share her creations with the world, all the harassment put her in a very sad and depressing place. That's why I would prefer if she continued to stay hidden, I feel it's healthly for her, it's the way she found to keep composing and being true to herself and to the songs. Going back to exposure, big budgets and her name all over the place must be really frightening and uncomfortable after all she went through. Besides, even though UV and HM sales are very low compared to BTD, it's undeniable how richer the last two are when compared to her debut. But, as she doesn't promote and people don't know about it, it just doesn't sell. It may be even better, 'cause the fans who truly get her mind and love her sound will keep following her work and praising her, while those that just came for the beats and the bling will be gone.

even though ive said this is ldr5 before, i truly believe this is ldr4 because aka isnt even purchasable, she ignores it, and it was lana del RAY

I just think that Eminem and Gaga don't share the same public, so it really wouldn't mind if they released albums approximately at the same time. Lana and Gaga, though, have similar public, so it would fit to release the albums a little bit apart. She might be working on it making some last-minute mixing, but I really feel it's been done for, like, two months now. 

I'll take one for the team and fill the position of the girl Lana's kissing

So far I'm the things I'm the most excited about aside from the song's and music videos themselves are: the album photoshoot (I can't wait to see what her image is for this era with her look and how she dresses) and I really want to know how much promo she does for this album and how well it performs (promo isn't all I care about, I definitely would rather have better music and her being happy than good promo/sales but u know, it would be nice if she was more relevant again)

the song by the chainsmokers featuring the rat?
