bored 7,938 Posted September 12, 2018 God i hope this era is full of natural imagery and greens, it would bring out her eyes so much i wonder what the flower of the era will be too? I don't know why but I'm seeing something evergreen (as a metaphor) so maybe something like ivy? (obviously not a flower) I really am excited to see the visual direction she takes with this record. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucas B. 1,459 Posted September 12, 2018 When Lana drops a lead i'm ALWAYS afraid that I won't like the album, this happens since Honeymoon I really hope she don't go the rural country-folk road from AKA. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Yayo and Kill Kill, but this doesn't match anything we heard from BTD to LFL 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bored 7,938 Posted September 12, 2018 I really hope one day we get a documentary or book from Lana herself to talk about her career, it's interesting to me that she spent so many years constructing the persona of Lana Del Rey (lyrically, sonically and visually) to gradually take it apart record-by-record and eventually return to her natural self. I'd love to know the thought processes and reasoning behind it all... 18 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeminiLanaFan 49,352 Posted September 12, 2018 about Sylvia... I've been thinking lately about that song, that she mentioned it to fans at one or two of her shows... but has anyone recorded her mentioning Sylvia? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
True Romance 6,195 Posted September 12, 2018 I am so excited for this era, MAC is spectacular. Probably cant surpass Ultraviolence, but I think it will come really, really close. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I wouldn't worry about Lana going country (just yet), this is very much in the same vein as her other works, almost a hybrid of them all (unreleased included). about Sylvia... I've been thinking lately about that song, that she mentioned it to fans at one or two of her shows... but has anyone recorded her mentioning Sylvia? I don't think there is any proof of Sylvia existing, just word of mouth at this point. However I believe multiple fans who attended the show that night mentioned it and that's why it became credible. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zireal 105 Posted September 12, 2018 after listening to MAC, I have high hopes for this album. it seems more sincere and stripped back compared to LfL and I can't wait for the next single 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeminiLanaFan 49,352 Posted September 12, 2018 This is what LFL should have been LFL was way too ambitious. The acoustic part of it kinda got tossed away and this is now a part of MAC. As much as people hate LFL, it was a necessary album. I loved HM. Still is my fave from her, but to transition directly from HM into the sounds of MAC (even if I love them), it would have been a «too easy transition» between the two. We needed LFL's big production, all in major tones, in order to return to calmer seas (lol). 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope the album have songs with more production, more instruments, like her previous works Part of me is glad that this doesn't sound like anything from BTD to LFL, cos that shows artistic growth, however I think the Lana Del Rey persona has been getting slowly removed from every project since Ultraviolence and it is inevitable at this point... I understand your concern but just embrace it, she's finally comfortable enough to be herself and explore new things and no longer feels like she has to hide behind a persona or character. The sentiments of the songs are very much the same, just a new perspective. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DLT 7,592 Posted September 12, 2018 im kinda shocked at the amount of fans that seem to be worried about her losing the LDR persona, i'm personally here for it in fact, i think this may have been her plan all along believe me i'd be so scalped if she ever released anything under lizzy/elizabeth grant i feel like she's grown up a lot since 2012, and now she sees music as less of a time to play dress-up and pretend life is a movie, and realizes it to be her truest outlet for explicit self-expression and emotional honesty This!!!! I'm here for her shedding the persona. It's gradually happening. She is def in a diff place than when she first started. You really just summarized it so nicely. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
salvatore 21,769 Posted September 12, 2018 omg we made it back to our homeshore, i missed the official pre-release shenanigans, it's wild that we actually have a complete date for Jan 2019 it's insane to think she'll technically have not dropped an album in "2" years when this new record comes out do y'all remember THAT fucked week of May oh my god and the album release i--- i hope she goes back to the old LDR font but i feel like she won't, Lana as a character- even the one found in HM- feels dead, I wouldn't be surprised if we see the LFL font & an entirely new cover photo setup 5 Thoughts on Yosemite.

I just love LFL and every aspect from it, it's my fave Lana album after Ultraviolence, the whole project, the whole production, everything's perfect. It's just a shame she practically threw eveything on the garbage, she could've done some BEAUTIFUL music videos (or a short film) for the politic part of the album 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
American Whore 51,649 Posted September 12, 2018 I really liked MAC and I’m really shocked and impressed. I didn’t think I’d like it and I am fucking here for it. The UV vibes, the OG lizzy sound. Also am I the only one who gets disappointed hearing who she’s working with (Dan A, Jack Antonoff) just to be pleasently surprised when the music is actually delivered? I had low expectations because I don’t care for Jack Antonoff but turned out to love it and the same happened with UV when I heard about Dan Aurbach 6 if i fuck this model and she just bleached her asshole and i get bleach on my t-shirt, imma feel like an asshole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
