So listening to the snippets again I just realized how California (former Stronger) sounds so... dramatic. Lol, out of all of the songs, that one sounds really dramatic.

 

I'm 90% sure that snippet is from either the bridge or the encore of the song.

@@Cacciatore I doubted your taste as you don’t like hope but your posts since the cover + tracklist were revealed have proven me wrong. Intelligence and taste to the max. I Stan.

So do we think the lime green vinyl really comes with the album cover six times like the website shows?

I wish I ordered the Ultraviolence UO edition it's so expensive now. Even though it's her knee it's kind of amazing.... I always forget it exists

This post is several pages old sorry but you guys, I asked my mom for that vinyl for my birthday and she got it for $98. Then we got into a huge fight that day because she is a crazy alcoholic and we haven’t spoken since. It was in January. The vinyl is at her house, I only held it for 2 minutes

 

So I hate the nfr uo cover but I bought it because I’m not missing out and contemplating spending $100 on a Lana vinyl ever again

[Rorman Nockwell 56,711]

Well, I mean, I don't think people should just be used or be made of having fear of being used in that way, ever. So I think it's a lot safer that she didn't feature him thru her work like that. It's tricky. Two cents 

 

I actually agree; it's not so much that I think she should've used Chase as much as she shouldn't've used that guy. 

 

Like ... as problematic as he is, I feel like someone like James Franco would make a lot more sense. He has the personality for something like this and they were rumoured to have been together at one point anyway, so using him would've been kinda tongue-in-cheek. Obviously, there's reasons why not, but the guy she used seems super random and I think the message would come across better with someone more well-known. 

 

Idk. She seems to love doing her friends and family favours by putting them in shit, and this seems a lot like that.

Every time an artist uses their special one on a music video or something like that I think it's an awful idea. Like imagine asking your boyfriend to be part of a MV and then you guys broke up and you'll have to endure the fact your ex will be part of your art forever an album cover would be even more extreme, like.............. no. Just no. I'm glad Lana didn't do it.

 

 

 

Now THAT'S a good idea, but since NFR is like a fuck you letter to guys who think they're a genius and too good I think it would be kinda awkward for Lana to ask Jack to play this character on the cover 

 

Yeah I agree, and I also feel the guy on the cover being so unknown and someone that the listener can project anything onto works better. If it was Lana's BF or some well known male celeb (like James Franco as some have suggested) it would just distract from whatever she is trying to convey imo.

Oh, definitely it will be dramatic. I think that’s the beginning and it will turn into a beautiful rock song. Zach produced the track and I’m putting my expectations so high into it.

[baddisease 17,936]

Cinnamon Girl, Love song, and How to disappear are going to be my favorites off the record, I can just tell

[Cloudbusting 5,382]

If the snippets leak, I'll try to resist all of them except for TNBAR. I really wanna know how was it recorded for the album (unless I'm missing something? I've been so absent)

 

Anyway I'd love if she kept the acoustic verses + chorus with beats because I think that sounds amazing. On the other hand, if one of the songs will be one we already know, maybe some more changes would be nice 

[GeminiLanaFan 49,038]

So, after a very iffy start, this era seems to please everyone: professional iconic cover, great trailer, two professional music videos, a pink vinyl...

 

Next time, we must remember that the bich knows what she’s doing.

Idk if this was mentioned already, but the BAR that we have is 10 seconds longer than the NFR version, so I'm thinking it was re-worked in some way. Just hoping for better quality at least lol

[takeitdoen 10,627]

It has new lyrics, so it has definitely been reworked. Hopefully she isn't singing through paper like she was for the BPBP rework though.

[movebaby 5,379]

Just been feeling like shit, didn't have the strength to come here and spew vitriol as usual

 

ahh understandable lol i hope you're feeling better! <3

Imagine having a hot model/actor boyfriend and using Jack Nicholson's grandson on the cover of your album, instead.

I wonder if California and Bartender were submitted for Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. They’re the only tracks Jack didn’t work on (according to the credits) minus The Next Best American Record (but we know that one had been on Lana’s mind for a while). 24 on Honeymoon is speculated to have gotten the same treatment in regards to the James Bond film. Based on the titles of these two I could see them fitting the campy LA feel of the film. I guess we’ll see when the record comes out and if more information is revealed about the songs!
