I fucking hope this is not the surprise BoX referred to because… 

But why would they do listening parties on Wednesday when the album is out on Friday? Would it count towards the UK Charts?

Probably to get fans hyped/posting on Tik Tok that they heard the album early etc.

well, NFR was not a single and it was nominated for song of the year

 

but it technically had a video so i dont know how a "single" is really classified tbh. so im kind of just making shit up

Y’all this album is top 3 for me

Yes

are we sure? i guess these are examples where non-singles won grammy's

"Don't Know Why" by Norah Jones - This song won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 2003, even though it was never released as a single.

"Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve - This song won a Grammy for Best Rock Song in 1999, even though it was not released as a single in the United States.

"I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston - This song won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1994, even though it was not released as a single in that year.

"Somebody That I Used to Know" by Gotye feat. Kimbra - This song won multiple Grammys in 2013, including Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, even though it was not initially released as a single.

I need their detailed review on each track! 

 

 

Sadly, I think that this must be it. Have there ever been listening parties for a Lana record? It's something that will please the fans, so BOZ's comment kinda makes sense...

You’re so right… and yet

He said it has nothing to do with Ocean Blvd tho
And Kintsugi said "new music" about the surprise

[How2Disappear 976]

Spoiler

another theme besides overcoming the fear of death and finding happiness also seems to be fixing past mistakes or do-overs no? especially referencing older songs and kintsugi ? and these are connected i guess. on the one hand embracing mistakes like the opening but on the other, fixing them?

[Furor Poeticus 16,396]

It would be so iconic if Taco

lasted longer with a second verse and chorus before transforming into VB and if it were like 10 minutes because of that. 

 

Anyway it's still her best closer hands down. What a way to finish an album with bang after stripped down closers for 3 albums straight 

 

[anwdelrey 9,272]

I wouldn’t give any weight to rankings right now considering recency bias.

No, but she always submits the title track to Pop Solo/ROTY/SOTY so there's nothing to be excited about.

I find it odd too. Probably another « HM being played at Urban Outfitters » type of promo. NGL, at first I thought the date was because of the time zones… until I realized it’s not in Australia, where times can change the release day of an album

are we sure? bad guy wasnt a single but won grammys

Bad guy was a single 😭 she had a whole remix with Justin Bieber and everything. 
 

But I looked it up, I am wrong, it doesn’t have to be a single to be nominated

[How2Disappear 976]

on the judah smith interlude 

Spoiler

based on the description of her laughing, i wonder if it's like when she was younger, going to church, giggling with friends during sermons. that's how i was. even though later in life i realized there is some wisdom there
