It's basically confirmed that the album was finished sometime around late September - early October

 

but IS IT REALLY though?  I hope

I never believe the visuals for the album are done when we don’t get a behind the scenes look, her hair stylist, makeup artist or even Lana herself usually post a pic but of course it’s very possible everything is completely done.?

honestly y’all i really don’t think we’re getting a single… i think she’s gonna make a post on a random sunday in march and be like “hi my album is out in 2 weeks” and then never mention it again. i’m fully prepared for absolutely no promo this era, atp i’m not even expecting a music video  but maybe that’s me limiting my expectations to the bare minimum so i’m not disappointed when if it is the bare minimum

the way i said a few days ago that i think the ldr9 pre-release is going to be short

i would love to be proven wrong but this is probably what will happen

I'd say yes... BOZ heard this mysterious masterpiece of an album on October 10th (he may have gotten it a couple of days before) and with his clues that day and the following releases we could remove all the other mentioned artists except for Lana.

He wouldn't call it an "album" if he got just 5-6 songs from a recently recorded session (specially knowing Lana's everchanging mind) so he probably knows even the title of the record 

 

He also heard the FJM collab and called it fantastic so that also reinforces it. He wouldn't get a random album track unless it was the lead single and it was coming soon (which is another possibility I didn't consider until now )

Still thinking how she put the X symbol under the rockafella video which basically means 10. And then she mentioned her new album as LDR10 if you include….violet. 

[the ocean]

i don't get why people are saying she's including violet when if you consider AKA and paradise it adds up to... ten

or i'm completely dumb and the reference is going over my head

I think she literally said "10 if you include Violet". But we still don't know if she's counting AKA or Paradise

that still doesn't make sense though because then it would be LDR11 - that's why i'm confused

because she responded to someone calling the album “ldr9” on instagram saying that it’s 10 because she includes violet. i’ll try to find her comment.

We know she likes to release stuff as soon as she can (sometimes even too soon) so this timeline is confusing 

and i don't know how her management didn't forced her to do anything yet, she's in the best era of her career i mean it's the perfect time for THE release

It's 10 if you only count AKA or Paradise:

1.AKA 2.BTD 3.UV 4.HM 5.LFL 6.NFR 7.Violet 8.Chemtrails 9.BB 10.LDRX

 

1.BTD 2.Paradise 3.UV 4.HM 5.LFL 6.NFR 7.Violet 8.Chemtrails 9.BB 10.LDRX

 

So she's using one of those 2 (I guess )

okay honestly i am all for the piano if it’s actually interesting and innovative piano playing and unique chords… but i am absolutely terrified if it’s a whole album of violets for roses piano compositions

interesting - i guess she's excluding AKA because i know she's said before that she considers paradise to be it's own thing and that it was interscope that put it with born to die

still have NO idea why she's including violet because... aka is right there but it's lana what can you do

this is actually another reason why i’m really excited that she’s working with jon batiste. bringing some jazz musicians on board is going to (hopefully) be a really big step up for her piano arrangements and make the songs more interesting. which is better what be happening because that piano isn’t going anywhere anytime soon

Lana does not count AKA. BtD is her debut as Lana Del Rey. I love AKA to shreds but you guys need to let it go. 

 

She does count Paradise and Violet though. She mentioned it multiple times already ...

 

 

01 BtD

02 Paradise

03 Ultraviolence

04 Honeymoon

05 L4L

06 NFR

07 Violet

08 Chemtrails

09 Blue Banisters

I honestly thing the reason we aren’t getting anything soon is bc of the theft. I think the footage stolen was for a music video/album trailer which has delayed roll out. Album is likely done and ready but she’s trying to get back on track with visuals. 

[WildMustang]

watch her go from ldr8 to ldrX special anniversary edition album just like Apple did with iPhone  (and with a completely different direction)

It would not make sense if she counted AKA. It's been out for like two months and she never re-released it. Only her fans know about it and it's only obtainable illegally. Also, that was prior to the whole Lana Del Rey act she started with BtD. 

 

(Don't get me wrong, I love AKA, but I really don't see a value in constantly bringing it up as part of her official discography)
