Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

[TerrenceOnKilos 579]

i feel like lana at any moment could release a deluxe version of ocean blvd, after all, it's an album that has a lot of promotion (compared to other eras) and i feel like taco truck wasn't the worthy closing for the album, i feel like more is needed. talking about that document.... it's obviously fake, but to be honest yes to heaven wouldn't be bad for a deluxe version of the album if they make many changes to the song, the other day i heard a snippet of a supposed version of Say Yes to heaven for the album (which i never found again because it magically disappeared from every corner of the internet) it sounded super magical, lana screamed and then said something like "Say Yes to heaven, say yes to me. and now you're swimming by the.... Ohh, ohhh, AAAHHHHHhh" (If someone also heard it, confirm if I also heard it so people don't think I'm crazy ) I don't remember very well and it was in super lq, the point is that it sounded really good, now I feel the need to have Yes to heaven in a deluxe edition (only if it has that kind of changes that improve the song a lot).

i seem to remember her saying she doesn't like deluxe editions/re-releases

When you're right you're right
When you're right you're right
Even when you're wrong.

Up there with my favourite LDR lyrics ever.

reminds me of the last line of the full title of Fiona Apple's album When the Pawn... : 

"And if you fall it won't matter, cuz you'll know that you're right"

Peppers is finally growing on me. Particularly love the production at the climax of the song. Still having trouble with its placement on the tracklist but I assume that it has special meaning where it is so it's whatever. It feels so much like an unreleased Lizzy song.

Spoiler

there have been so many fake “reworked versions” of say yes to heaven over the years, so it may have been one of those edits (some of them are pretty intricately done)

 

i don’t see her doing a deluxe BUTTTT if she does unreleased in her shows … which i feel like COULD happen given their popularity and since she’s done that before … she would maybe do yes to heaven

 

when she adds yes to heaven but sped up version to the set list and then only sings songs from btd and nfr …

rich lee music video … listening parties … magazines and interviews … billboards/signs/posters irl … addition to streaming platform playlists … pop up shop … a festival tour …   more than bb or chemtrails at least!

Maybe it’s the religious trauma but the Judah interlude is so beautiful to me

TT is the perfect closer. That moment when SOUNDING OFF BANG BANG KISS KISS pops in after the transition 

 

It's like BITCH IM LANA MFKNG DEL REY.

I mean, considering there was a pandemic going on when those albums came out, most of what you said wasn’t actually possible.

Ocean Blvd def didn’t have a lot of promo like OP said. It def had some promo but like, there’s no MVs out yet, sure there’s magazines & interviews but Chemtrails/Banisters did have some as well (not that many, I reckon) & Banisters also had a pop up shop. Also, both of them had more MVs pre-release

it’s true, but taking away comparison to any of her other albums, there still is SOME promo … i mean people were convinced she’d never tour again and now she’s doing shows

 

my thought was just that she’s done more than what the expectations were — since the expectations were so low

Def agree, yeah.
Abt the touring part, only Twitter stans make up those rumors, it’s like saying every album she releases it’s gonna be her last one. She def didn’t tour bc of the pandemic cuz homegirl was booked tho (can’t believe she was gonna come to Portugal in 2020 after just being here in 2019 — fuck you COVID!).

There's been an insane amount of promo... She's been extremely active this era and keeping us fed very well

Where’s that insane promo you and that other user are talking abt? Are we so used to her never doing anything that we think this album rollout had a huge amount of promo?

Look at Dua Lipa — or even Meghan Trainor — that is an insane amount of promo. What we had were just crumbs, tbh 2-3 magazine covers, listening parties & 2 pop-up shops are not an insane amount of promo. We didn’t even have a single MV pre-release, let alone a MV on release day
