I hope she spams her insta with selfies for the next few weeks to keep us occupied till it drops 

Imagine she starts to post a photo/selfie related to a track for 11 days, leading up to the album release

From a promotional standpoint, releasing White Dress a week before the album makes complete sense. Releasing it then will give everyone enough time to digest the song by itself without it getting too stale when the albums out because it'll only be a week gap. Not only that but it'll catch the attention of the gp and gain hype for the album, "New single by Lana Del Rey, album out next week." Whereas "new single out, album out in three weeks" will definitely lose the attention of the gp from the single when the albums out, three weeks is close to a month. Considering how stripped down this era is, its already hard enough to gain traction. It makes complete sense to release it on the 12th, the best option really  I could see it out this week though. Two weeks isn't that far so its a pretty good time aswell 

A single close to release makes sense promo-wise, but not when it was proceeded  by over 2 months of nothing.

[NikoGo 62,805]

I’m not concerned about the lack of hype right now, because I’ve seen her post a snippet and get over 100 replies in 10 minutes.

 

everyone who is saying it would have made sense to release the single last week and now the hype is gone, is going to be celebrating the second she does release it regardless of when that is. 
 

If we survived October-January of just the one BTS of title track and one 10 second snippet, we can survive 2 weeks of nothing

Even if its been two months it still makes the most sense to release it a week before. Releasing it weeks before would've meant three weeks of silence leading up to the release pretty much. The buzz will be more effective closer to the release date regardless of two months of silence before the single. Plus shes been teasing the song so its not like its been that dead. If I was a casual and I heard Lana just released a single and a album out the week after it'd interest me more than a three week gap, the three week gap would turn me off probably.

what's up with the WAH and DBJAG snippets? i didn't listen to them, they're probably fake anyway

Usually you do BOTH to not let the hype die down in the first place though. 

And her "teasing" is just posting random stuff without any further information

lust for life had 16 tracks but when it was released, 5 had been released already, 3 (cherry, white mustang, change) had been heavily teased (with several snippets), so that left us with 8 songs that were fresh, BUT we had had 30-second snippets of those 8 tracks too

nfr had 14 tracks but when it was released 6 had been released already, 1 had leaked, 4 (cinnamon girl, hiab, how to disappear, nfr) had been heavily teased, so that left us THREE songs that were fresh (although 2 of them had been teased on her instagram, and we had had 30-second snippets of each too)

in the end, chemtrails has 11 tracks, but only 2 of them have been released and 2 of them performed live, so 7 tracks are still fresh (I'm including tulsa jesus freak because the snippet was short) AND we haven't heard the 8-second snippets this time around

conclusion: this album is going to be the one with the most unheard material since honeymoon

and honeymoon is her best so... 

[Future Jazz 9,409]

sometimes i think that the fact that tnbar and yosemite are the two only older songs she's ever put on album (yayo aside) is testament to her actually taking our wishes into consideration... those two songs probably feel special to her but she also knows how bad we wanted yosemite, given the number of times fans asked her about it, etc. i sometimes wonder if she's had regrets scrapping several songs from lfl

anyways girlies get ready for the political outtakes on LDR8

Honeymoon was so polished and put together aesthetically and musically

[Future Jazz 9,409]

the way I'd rather have the political LFL outtakes on LDR8 than new songs inspired by QTFC because somehow her political views were cooler in 2017 than they seem to be now

by the way it seems that we're escaping qftc-inspired tracks on chemtrails... none of the songs seem to be about it, which is consistent with the fact that the songs were all recorded before qftc (except for not all who wander are lost, maybe) though

I remember saying something similar when the Interview video released! And after watching that video a lot, listening to both singles and having tons of meltdowns I'm expecting a Honeymoon meets AKA type of album, that's the vibe I'm getting 

Spoiler

also White Dress confirms my theory...HER BEST ALBUM IS COMING

Maybe.

she sure had to do something since she talked a bit about TNBAR and a lot of Yosemite. But she does reuses old songs from previous sessions on many of her albums: on UV, Old Money was the oldest song recorded; on LFL, it was BPBP. I don’t remember if there was one on HM?!?

true, I forgot about BPBP! it was heavily reworked for LFL though, contrary to yosemite (or even tnbar). for old money i wouldn't put it in the same category though, it's miles away from Methamphetamines in terms of lyrics, production, atmosphere...

She can keep them for LDR 9 cause Dealer will be on LDR 8 a.k.a her grunge rock & screamo masterpiece 

 

[honeybadger 40,659]

first of all... her songs dedicated to people: living legend, TLY, dance till we die

 

 

i also NEED to note that she's writing about her life when she was "only nineteen". this places the song in about 2005-2006, which is around when she lived on long island with her aunt and uncle, worked as a waitress (obviously), her uncle taught her to play guitar with those "six chords, and she wrote sirens.

 

sirens is such a beautiful, simple collection of work to me, and the voice and sound is so fragile, delicate, and peaceful. i imagine some of the songs on chemtrails to sound similar - and, considering that this album is folkier, has country-rooted, etc elements, is stripped down, i feel like it'll have tinges of sirens. also because she's writing ABOUT that time in her time when she learned to play guitar and started making music.

 

also note that some random critic said about sirens: "though her vocals are often weak and shaky, her tone sounds delicate and sweet on all these simple tracks". Many critics compared the album to something they would hear in a small-town coffee shop"... does that not sound like the weak and shaky trembling of white dress chorus as described by miss del rey herself?

 

she's pulling us back before everything, before AKA, before kill kill, before that sound. and that's not to say it won't have tinges of AKA. but the descriptions as stripped back, into the wild, country, folk, immediately bring sirens to mind
