LDR9 - Pre-Pre-Release Thread

[Veinsineon 76,230]

I am requesting underrated masterpiece  Sad Girl be used as a point of reference for this new record’s sound.

So since LFL I'd say that Lana's been "in the blue" with NFR, Chemtrails, and obviously BB having blue as parts of their aesthetics and lyrics. So if this album is going to be transitional, what color is she going to do next?

Spoiler

I know she said this album would have no color references, but it's still interesting to speculate.

you guys asking for LFL 2.0 but LFL is just BTD 2.0 so in reality y'all just found a new way of asking for BTD 2.0

I always think about black and white when thinking about LDR9 (probably by her description and the W Magazine photoshoot).

 

I feel UV was B&W cause it was a dark album but I see LDR9 as a different kind of B&W cause (I think) it's going to be explicitly descriptive and straight to the point without any "color" as in "without pretty metaphors"

[American Whore 51,091]

Noooooo no no no LFL. No thanks. We don't need a bad era every 3-4 albums please no.

 

Edit: You know what, I'll say this. Some songs aren't bad. But there's too many misses on LFL that it takes away from the rest and I don't want that happening again

what, cocc and bb? nah, not that bad. bb isn't as good, chemtrails is much more special (to me, i love that album the most, i relate a lot to a lot of the songs and lyrics and whatnot) and then blue banisters was kinda messy like LFL was, so I don't want another of those. i'm good with chemtrails being a pseudo HM during this rotation

blue banisters had a run that was almost perfect though, text book all the way through to dealer is peak lana del rey, it's so good. the only song i skip on chemtrails is for free. on blue banisters, i always skip thunder, sometimes violets for roses, and i don't think i've listened to sweet carolina since like december

i would say chemtrails was pretty good but blue banisters was bad for lana’s level like we already had half the songs on that album and the rollout and chart positions were a disaster

i love cocc too, i hate the way it was rolled out though. it felt very messy as an era, the visuals sucked, and maybe i just didn't care for it at that time because of personal circumstance but i can barely remember what that era was like, not even the pre-release thread. bb is okay, i enjoyed its roll out better than cocc but the fact that we already had half of the album kind of killed the excitement for me.

i have more memories of white hot forever than i do of cocc

thats true i can see your point there. yeah, the string with the unreleased being put on BB was kind of annoying, i mean, she ripped them from youtube lol wtf. but other than that, the album would've been perfect with just the new songs

[SalvaWHORE 33,938]

Part of me want Lana to re-do her best works in the past but also, there's still a part of me wants Lana do something completely different, something she's never done before.

 

& I just want a 15 - 20-track-album from Lana

or only 8 tracks but every track is >5 minutes

[ShadesOfFool 20,112]

I’m ready for something new, whatever that is

 

NFR, COCC, and BB have their unique qualities but all kind of follow the same tone…very stripped back, very lyrically heavy, etc

 

She said the new album is wordy and conversational (yikes we’ll see how that goes) but there’s orchestra and stuff, so hey. We might get our big production and soaring vocals back this time around

Like I lived a thousand years in another life and then came back too and only 20 minutes passed. Not entirely pleasant but neither was it bad. Illuminating. 
 

in that life Lana did release a cosmic album so…

I finally had a LDR9 dream. The initial rollout was a video something like the television program Jeopardy, with two contestants, who both seemed to be women, guessing the name of the album, which finally turned out to be 'American Connectivity.' 

That’s such a LDR patriotic hippy album title

Us listening to LDR9

The last Lana related dream I had was an interview where she was in a boat in the middle of the ocean with her legs in the water while answering questions.

Nothing exciting but I'm putting it out there in case it happens so I can pick up my psychic title
