i feel as though that this entire era holds either a make it or break it moment for the fans. this is always said but i smell a long hiatus after this and most people not being active on here anymore but who knows... we’ve said this before i feel after NFR and here we still are. crazy enough to believe that NFR was actually nominated for album of the year. also, i predict that she’s leaving jack after this album and working with someone closer to home.

You’re right. HM was the « make it or break it » era for the hardcore BTD fans; Chemtrails could very be the same for many others.

Actually the least meltdown-inducing era was Lust for Life. The rollout was seamless and very well-planned (except for the moment nobody knew when the album was actually coming out). Everyone seemed to love the music, the looks, the photoshoots, etc. The only times I remember the era being controversial among stans were:

 

Tracklist reveal with the multiple featured artists ("I want Lana only!")

Album cover reveal ("Photoshopped, fake smile, etc.")

Adidas outfits.

 

Later on the era she served vocals, beauty, acclaim, success, relevancy, Grammy nomination and even had her haute couture moment at the Met Gala and other events.

Are you kidding? People who had breakdowns over her delays of the album, the concept change and the cherry video

[Flowerbomb 65,594]

I think her LFL baddie era was the way her style kinda changed where she was wearing a ton of Adidas, getting matcha with the LA gorls like every influencer does (even going so far to raving about it in interviews), the vaping (which at the time was becoming more 'trendy'), dating G-Eazy etc - but overall I think it was more about the 'energy' she was putting out that was akin to what every LA instagram influencer does.

 

And of course with NFR we had the 'aftertaste' of her baddie era (question for the culture post and using the word 'bro' a lot), but then slowly becoming more folk-esque.

 

Now with COCC she's pretty much ditched the whole baddie thing and carrying on with the folk style and perhaps that will intertwine into another style she'll take inspiration from with a new album at some point in the future.

 

A chameleon soul, indeed. 

[Fingertips 72,043]

We argue about whether or not she's taking a hiatus every era, often times way before the upcoming album is released

 

She's working on "Behind the Iron Gates" right now. That's not a hiatus

I feel like she has enough material ready to fill 5 albums while being on hiatus settling down and having babies... it's not like she'd do promo, anyway

just realized when every day passes we get 1 day closer to the album

I see there's a need for a countdown here

throughout this era she was just living life enjoying touring, throwing that big 34th bday party, vaping, and just chilling which i believe some people thought was her putting on a facade. in total honesty though i believe this was Lana enjoying her life THE most until covid happened.

i wish i was more of a superfan during that 34th bday party she threw. Lfl era was when i was first getting into lana. I honestly dont see that as her putting on a facade, she literally was finding happiness, look at the lyrics of groupie love "This is my life, you by my side, Key lime and perfume and festivals, Taking our dreams, turning them to things, It's like magic, babe, isn't life wonderful?"

We will hear Lana songs / poems for a very long time, but Chemtrails might be her last « original » LDR album for a while?! That’s how I feel about it at the moment. The way Chemtrails is a « short » album, the way she says she doesn’t have a « direction » for the next one yet... We’ll have her other projects, her cover albums, but an original one telling a story? Not sure. 
but keep in mind that the way she handled the NFR pré-release era, I was sure she was done for a while... only for her to announce WHF the day NFR got released 

[Make me your Dream Life 87,866]

should've made nfr the aoty. the way it's a pandemic 2020 vibe. TG sounded like it was for the end of the world.

Same. "Patent Leather Do-over" is nothing short of a masterpiece, and more intriguing than a lot of "Violet." I'm so excited as well

100% agree. Billie had a good album but AOTY? Nah. 
only consolation: Norman now sits in the pantheon of the albums that deserved better but became more iconic by not winning the damn Grammy.

the cringe baddie attitude through LFL was truly horrifying

looking back 2016/17 was such a terrible time for music and artists cause everyone was getting woke and political it was nauseating  

LFL had so many messy releases like when everyone was expecting summer bummer to come out like 2 weeks before it actually did

The Greatest WAS for the end of the world, it's been over since March of 2020
