"The album begins with the song “The Grants,” which paints a vivid picture of a clandestine group that may be behind the construction of the tunnel. Del Rey’s lyrics hint at a mysterious organization with the power to control the world. The song is full of references to the Illuminati, the Freemasons, and other secret societies, and it’s clear that the singer is suspicious of their activities." im getting ultraviolence vibes

supposed kintsugi lyrics from the article "In the dark, they dig a hole, and try to hide the truth"

This czech/slovak music store still has the release date set at 10 march. I hope fear the album will inevitably leak before the 24th.

I honestly still can't believe we're getting an entire album in Dolby Atmos. I feel like American Whore is going to transcend me into the 6th dimension 

Interestingly though, I listened to TUOB both in and out of Dolby Atmos, and I actually prefer it without - the tinkling piano in the second verse is virtually absent from the DA mix! 🥲

i mean at least we can start guessing which song she sampled from Tommy's mixtape

 

It’s either Hate Demon or Eden; having listened to both, I’m rooting for Eden.

I have never heard of the word Kintsugi before but now both lana AND fall out boy are dropping tracks that name on the same day💀

 

Fall Out Boy - So Much (for) Stardust(March 24th):

11. The Kintsugi Kid (Ten Years)

I'm sure there's a word for it but ever since I learned about Kintsugi I've seen it referenced at least 5 times in non Lana related contexts

kintsugi has been gathering popularity for some time now and it seems like music has finally caught up to it. last year kpop group lesserafim had it on an album cover while fka twigs wore makeup apparently inspired by it ー seems like a trend

 

Spoiler

Yeah I’m sure there’ll be some fuck ups with copies that will be sent way too early because they didn’t get the memo… it’s gonna be another BB fiasco. 

Billboard should rechange some rules about their numbers: preorders for vinyls or CDs should count as week one and not count the week they are sent. That way, we could get back to the good old days of short pre-releases like HM.

Yeah or at least have a couple of weeks of eligibility.

I get that they changed it so vinyl that weren't even in production didn't count but the new rule only makes albums delayed for months and it's boring (for fans and for the artist, specially those who rely on physical sales so they are not allowed to release digital only first like Lana?)

Venice Bitch has been my most streamed song every year since 2018, I'm a bit worried I won't like Taco Truck because VB is like my holy grail, just like how I was so used to Architecture that I can't listen to BAR, or how I appreciate the album version of Thunder but still think it was perfect as it was previously.

this would be so easily manipulated tho. Ppl would be putting in thousands of fraudulent preorders and then cancelling them after being counted towards sales. Billboard will nevaaa do that 

[Lasso 13,193]

About the Tommy Genesis sample... in that letter Lana posted on the day of the announcement, didn't she write something like "Thank u Tommy for bringing the fire"?? Can this be a hint for the song used or is it a reference to you know, peppers (because they're spicy and burn )?

The way I hadn’t even thought about that  I guess I’m too honest for that kinda thing.

i understand why Billboard changed the rules in the first place because the biggest artists in the world were abusing them and ruined it for everyone, of course, but it really is so messed up because it’s affected the whole industry and album release rollouts so much. it’s so ridiculous and annoying just as a fan, i can’t even imagine as an artist. i agree, they really should change the rules again but come up with something so there aren’t any loopholes

 

the biggest artists were cheating and forced billboard to adjust the rules to stop it, which is already going to affect turnover. and then now those same big artists are the ones pressing millions of vinyl and overwhelming the pressing plants, which makes turnover time for everyone else even longer. i love taylor but i am especially looking at her

[GeminiLanaFan 48,871]

I find it funny that this album still doesn’t have the total duration while others already show it upon pre-release

Before the new rule that's how it used to work but I don't know how they managed the cancellations tho 

 

Maybe that's why they changed it
