TEMPORARY Chemtrails Over the Country Club - Pre-Release Thread: OUT March 19th, 2021

[GeminiLanaFan 49,044]

Not Chemtrails related, I don’t know if it’s been discussed, but Haley Bonar is apparently reworking Eat for Free with Lana to be featured ???

if so, I am so fucking glad!!! I thought their collab was one of the best of her NFR tour. I’m gonna put it after the Chemtrails album, making my own Deluxe haha

To be fair - none of them really leaked more then like 1 week in advance if I'm not completely wrong.

I don’t remember BTD or UV and wasn’t as « rabid fan » back then than I am today. HM leaked the week before because of the UO listenings and the HQ leak happened a few days after. LFL leaked through a Canadian store selling it earlier a few days before. NFR leaked two weeks early with Cassette Girl. 
Like you said, it’s not that bad when it comes to her records. Her singles or unreleased, on the other hand... ?

The original cover art isnt that bad as people portray it to be...

 

I mean come on..look at SMILE and EVERMORE?? FOLKLORE?(i could have just googled pine forest or dark forest woman walking).

 

It could have been more polished yes..but doesnt warrant OMG SHE HAS LOST HER ART SHE IS LAZY SHE IS OVER reactions...

 

Pure Heroine cover also <<<<<<<..

 

So many album arts are worse than Lana's.

 

Watch her release HBB, STUPID, DEALER,WHF as deluxe(Interscope will obviously want more revenue due to no concerts/festivals/tours. 

you made a good point, it could be worse, but it's still kinda underwhelming for me

The covers you mentioned matched the music, though. This cover is literally an Instagram photo of her and her friends - half of them (including her, if you check the high res) aren't even looking at the camera and she's not in the centre/a prominent position. It's an objectively bad choice for an album cover for those reasons. A cover is supposed to draw you in and I'd walk right past that in a record store because it looks like an album for some sort of weird foot-tapping, mouth organ-playing amateur band from Kansas or some shit. 

I don't like the PH cover either, but the idea behind it was that it would leave it to the listener to create their own mental imagery free of any pre-conceived ideas. 

Had COCC been called "Instagram Bitch" then that cover would actually be quite a clever and fitting choice, but it isn't.

I have never counted that as a ‘leak’ 

that was Lana’s team being messy asf and changing the release date hella last minute with no communication 
Love leaking months in advanced forced her to release the song, nothing happened when TG/FIILY ‘leaked’

 

edit to add: I even remember Jack tweeting about the dual single release date and then having to go back and say it wasn’t coming out when he said. 
 

I classify a leak as someone not involved in the music getting the song and releasing it with 0 warning, Google/YouTube messed up, but it was a legit ‘release’ they just didn’t get the memo that the release was pushed back

Has anyone made an edit yet of the alt. COCC cover with text using the HQ pic from Neil Krug's site? i'm too lazy to do it myself :/

[Pico Ocean Boulevard 41,091]

She truly wasted potential for the album cover

She could recreated a Slim Aarons with her friends for the album cover

Did someone call for a sycophant recently?

 

However, LDR is an "instagram baddie", so she may be just representing herself on the cover, and not even intending to represent the album's music on the cover. This would make her album cover a strikingly original addition to the "fill-in-the-blank" aesthetic for album covers.

 

For instance Lorde's Pure Heroine cover is a strikingly bad example of that aesthetic. There is no objective interpretation to Lorde's PH cover, and your subjective one seems kind of rationalized (e.g. I can just as easily interpret it as "I give up", as an attempt to represent the work). There have been many albums in this aesthetic, such as the many "white" and "black" albums, and Primus's wonderful, "Brown Album". Kendrick Lamar has also used the concept in a more technically correct fashion than Lorde did ("untitled, unmastered"). Also Kanye West's classic Yeezus cover concept (i.e., "it's not a real album, it's just a bootleg").

'it's beautiful' it's already in Chemtrails Over The Country Club's lyrics, it ain't a song
