Thank you! I think she referred to wanting to be there for “anyone who wanted to know the truth” or something similar after release (and the removal of the 4/5 songs- which I didn’t know!) so I guess in her mind Arcadia, BBS and Wildflower have enough for her in that sense, which in that case just release those three as stand alone singles versus an album. It’ll be interesting if those angry songs ever do come out.

And re the badly ripped tracks, I think if she was more particular for finer details like that she’d have a better chance at the grammy’s. NFR deserved it regardless but you just can’t put stuff like that on an official body of work.

 

 

With the 'truth' remark I think she was referring to WFWF--we already knew she was a 'textbook case' of 'searching for the lost father,' so that wasn't news to fans and stans. She probably made the remarks about revenge and 'anyone who wants/wanted to know the truth' before she decided to change the focus of the album. 

 

I'm pretty sure it was BOZ who reported here on the removal of some of the songs and their replacement with the leaked tracks--I recall he said, 'Lana is really revisiting her past' or something to that effect. 

 

Releasing the poor-quality Youtube tracks--which a member here proved were of very shoddy auditory quality--is just another inexplicable move on her and her team's part.

 

Presumably, she/they no longer had pristine originals, which seems odd in itself. You would assume, like most musicians, there's a vault somewhere, whether actual, digital, or cloud, where masters are kept for the foreseeable day when one or more career retrospectives are in order. 

 

Thanks.
