Can't wait for 12:00 AM on July 4th when there still won't be an announcement, the album won't be out in NZ and some of y'all will still hope it's a global release  need a reservation for the meltdown, wouldn't miss it for the world...

When eclipse won't say a thing and they'll be like 'omg king tell us if it's cominggggggg pls'

I've never seen a deader pre-release thread for an album that is said to be released in less than a week

I agree, it’s a bit sad. But I guess it’s because we’re still waiting for a proper announcement that the album’s still coming.

[normanrockwhale 1,165]

This girl is going to kill all the hype by being so silent. Manifesting an announcement today

[normanrockwhale 1,165]

Btw, I just don't get her mind. She's telling random dates since forever, and doesn't she know that her fans are taking this shit serious? I'm not saying she's "lazy ass bitch", because she's always recording, writing etc. I know we sometimes get on her nerves, but isn't it a bit disrespectful for us to be trolled again and again? I mean, isn't she sometimes like "omg, I told some time ago my album is coming on September 5, June 1, July 4. It's delayed. I should tell them"?. I love Lana with all my heart, but these situations are getting me more and more annoyed. 

 

I'd be happier if she would take her time to make her record ready in 100%, and then announcements, and not the opposite, like it is now.

Completely agree! It's like she gets really excited and announces the date then just forgets to actually let us know if it's changed

If really the album comes July 4th, which I don’t think knowing how Lana works, I’m not sure if it is a smart move cause outside Lanaboards does a lot of people know about this? She isn’t like Taylor or others who can drop anything without  promo and do good numbers. Don’t get me wrong I know numbers are not important, especially with Lana. But I feel that the people at interscope would like at least decent numbers so that’s why  I don’t think she’s gonna drop an entire album without doing at least a preorder or something. Cause I know Lana is in charge and everything but still is her label who says “yeah we’re gonna release this” she’s not a self-published artist

part of me thinks that since shes already released an album this year and it did really well with the physical releases, they might be giving her a pass since this album is kinda a bonus... idk how things like that work with contracts n everything but im thinking that could be the reason why shes allowed to not promote.

Why I think the album could be coming on the 4th (or at least very soon):

- Store closed and everything moved to ldr village (before we got the NFR preorder the website also closed and asked for a password)

- Chemtrails stuff on sale 

- Lana has been working on this for a while and we know she's fast (even if she scrapped/changed the tracklist) 

- There was acknowledgement of the July 4th date by her label and team (more than there was for the June 1st date or even the September 5th)

- Mike's tweet yesterday (he wouldn't have responded like that if it wasn't coming. When fans asked for BTD 2 he said something like "artists don't repeat eras, they evolve" so he's not just clout chasing saying what stans want to hear)

- BOZ said the date didn't change. If they had the final tracklist with the new album name and everything, even if it was delayed because of physicals, they would have a release date already (even if it was 3 months from now).

 

Why I think it could be delayed:

- Lana's silence (even if the 3 singles were released with no word, her singles doesn't make that much noise anyway but I'm sure her label would make her promote at least a bit the album cause it's the main focus of her career)

- Insider's silence (Lana usually releases a big MV and single with the preorder or the album to promote it but insiders didn't say anything yet and they usually have that info a week before)

- No preorder (it's not mandatory but it's weird we don't have it)

- Tracklist and title change (she announced Blue Banisters at the end of April so unless she changed the album title the next week she would have had no time to send vinyls to pressing plants. Another option is that she changed the concept before that and only announced BB as a single)

- Deleted posts (Maybe she deleted the BB snippet and that pic that could be the cover when her plans changed and scrapped the concept but it would be too late for a July release)

- July 4th is a Sunday (if she has physicals ready she would only lose a bit of first week sales because of streaming but if she has no preorder and it's digital only it would be commercial suicide and even though Lana doesn't care her label does)

Another thing in favour is the fact she dropped 3 singles with no word, no promotion. So It could be the same for the album.

this is giving me flashbacks to the 5th of september

"shes gonna surprise drop it tonight"

"shes not gonna drop it midnight local time, wait until 9am LA time"

"maybe noon LA"

"its not yet the 6th in LA, she's still got 30 more minutes to release it!!!"

[normanrockwhale 1,165]

My heart hopes for at least surprise drop, but my mind says it will be released in September/October
