Let's Not be too nitpicky here.

The acapella version of Coachella and the song itself were both released long before the album tracklist was announced or a pre-order was up. At this time, everyone considered it a standalone single.

The Summer Bummer snippet was supershort and the song was released as a single anyway. I don't remember a Groupie Love snippet.

So the only album-tracks that got teased with snippets were Cherry (which was performed live BEFORE the snippet was posted), White Mustand and Change.

actually it wasn't, a black and white video with a cherry snippet was posted some time before the performance.

there was a groupie love snippet, though not from her instagram, but still, and quite long if i remember correctly

im just saying there were a lot of snippets before the songs (whether the singles or the others) were heard for the first time and i don't think it's great, i think it was detrimental to the experience of the album. here she hasn't done it except for that 8-second-long chemtrails snippet

[Hannus 1,618]

i was thinking and i might not listen to white dress when/if it comes out.... i usually don't have the strenght to avoid snippets and singles before the album release but somehow i'm not hyped for it rn so it would be easier to resist. i'm really hyped for march 19th and i feel that the 26th is a bit too close to it, plus i did not overplay cocc and lmlylaw so hopefully it will still be relatively fresh-sounding and i'll be able to experience it first as 1 singular, united body of work rather than just a collection of songs. i guess i'll see in a few days

That was a rehearsal video, which she posted like a day before performing it.

If a short preview of a song really ruins your excitement, then that's probably not on behalf of the snippet. I get that her posting almost the entirety of Cinnamon Girl and HIAB in LQ snippets was not a good practice, but let's not be overdramatic here.

I'll join you. My depression is hitting hard and I forgot about White Dress' release so I think I can hang on until the album comes out 

[WaitForLife 5,236]

I will listen to it. I don't like it when you hear the first song and you don't get the vibe.

well I agree it was way worse with NFR but if i remember correctly, we had 2 Cherry snippets, 1 white mustang snippet, 2 summer bummer snippets, 1 groupie love snippet, 1 coachella acapella, 2-3 change snippets + roses bloom for you. that left several songs unheard, but still, it was a bit too much for me. i think that uploading only one snippet for TJF this time was the right thing to do

I think you’re right about the number of snippets. But to me, it’s not the number of snippets that bug me as much as what proportion of the song did we hear (looking at you, Cinnamon Girl) and how long before release did we hear them. It seems she started the teasing game with LFL in the spring before release as a promo thing maybe and it was not that much in advance. But damn NFR had at least 3 or 4 songs teased via snippets a good 8 months before release, Which made me believe it would be like LFL and that album was coming sooner than it did. 
i Love that we heard almost nothing of this album, except, again, that TJF was posted way too soon for my own comfort. But it could be just me haha.

[GeminiLanaFan 49,031]

Has anyone heard anything about WD having been uploaded on Spotify for a second before removal? It’s a rumour on some FB fan pages (if we think Twitter fans are awful, when it comes to trolls wanting to be interesting, FB groups are the worst). I didn’t see proofs of it, and nobody here is talking about it, so trolls probably.

how is saying it's better to have NOT listened to anything from the song before it's available in full overdramatic?? once again, i know it's way worse in CG's case than in, say, California's case, but it doesn't mean both aren't "bad" in my opinion.

and that was a rehearsal video with the exact studio version as only sound so yeah basically a snippet.

This album is so short omg but NFR is still "recent" and there have been other tracks thankfully

I was thinking the same, but the way I see it now: 

- 45 minutes of a coherent vision is awesome;

- Mojo's review made me think Chemtrails was the follow-up - sister album to NFR, so I'm curious to hear them back to back. If they are coherent with each other, it'll tell a two-hour story

its monday, is that an announcement i smell? or scat

I mean - noone forces you to listen to them, so I don't see how a snippet is a bad thing. Outside of the stanculture it's pretty common to get an impression of something before hyping it

What's up with the waiting 'till the album, watching the music video with sound off stuff? Never hearing the singles before the album is out? Literally I've only seen this kind of behaviour with Lana fans. It's strange.

 

i listened to LMLYLAW and chemtrails when they first came out. then after awhile i stopped listening to them so they sound fresh. as for white dress, i'm not listening to her before the album ONLY because it's the album opener. the album opener is special because it's the first song on the album which tells you which way the record is going. i'd much rather have that first listen of white dress w the album for that reason. otherwise, if miss white dress wasn't the album opener and just a rando track, i would listen to her upon her release. just my thots.

I got to thinking that I thought -

I personally enjoy listening to new albums start to finish, 100% unheard (or, at least, with no songs overplayed), because I like my first listen to be of the album as an entire body of work. I usually do that and, after a few listens, I go through and sort of unpack each song individually.

I've listened to LMLYLAW and COCC but I've not overplayed them, because with NFR, VB and MAC came out so early that they will never quite feel like part of that album to me and I didn't want the same feeling with COCC

Exactly the same here. If I already know songs, the experience of a new album feels sort of interrupted and I just wait for them to finish so I can listen to a song I haven't heard yet. It ruins the flow for me. 

I needed a long time to see (and feel) NFR as a cohesive album because of that, so it's no snippets for me (I only listened to TJF once) and singles in moderation. 

[plastiscguy 63,437]

I love snippets. While I like to be surprised, I also love knowing what to expect. It's common sense, if you're buying a product, you should be able to test it first or at least know more about it. 

 

You don't like snippets? That's okay too! NO ONE is forcing you to listen to them. I don't see Lanaboards not Lana herself pointing a gun at you, so... 

[necessary sacrifice 8,865]

Honestly first listens don’t have a huge impact on me because I’m still absorbing everything whether it’s a song or a full album, so I’m not really particular about hearing or not hearing songs before listening to an album.  Growing up I mostly just heard singles (and “fan favourite” non singles) on the radio or mixtapes, but that was my introduction to most artists.  When I was older I listened to albums in full that had songs I loved on them, sometimes I’d even know half the album already, but now when I listen to those albums, I don’t think about it. It’s just one big experience now.  But I’d also then check out other albums by those artists that had no songs I knew and I’d get to hear them completely fresh and I wouldn’t even know which songs were singles and that really is a refreshing experience.  There’s pros and cons of both experiences, but for me, I find it no longer matters after you’ve fully absorbed the album and it becomes part of you.  And if a single is released before an album, if it’s an artist I really care about (like Lana), I’m gonna listen to it right away instead of letting the internet spoil it for me.  Plus Lana usually chooses more important songs as singles instead of just whatever’s the most commercial, so they usually work best as slow burns and deserve the time to really let them sink into your soul.  But then maybe that’s just me justifying having no self-control lol. Either way though, after hearing the album a hundred times, it won’t matter whether we listened to some songs first or not.
