they better not fuck this up again #FREEBRITNEY

I suspect we become even crazier than usual in this thread on the weeks leading up to the release because we know it's all going to quiet down soon after the initial album excitement

There's a picture on the wall...

Yosemite vs Bartender

There's something so comforting about this album. It's so beautiful and the subdued production is exactly what was needed. It's hitting even harder as the seasons change and we face the anxiety of another long winter.

I'm kind of hoping for no re-working on Nectar of the Gods, I listened to it last night while driving down the empty highway and it was just beyond gorgeous. If it is reworked I hope it's minimal because the spareness of that track is really powerful. I do hope Cherry Blossom is reworked though, it has so much potential but still feels a bit incomplete.

Evil, I've come to tell you that she's evil, most definitely Evil, ornery, scandalous and evil, most definitely

Every time it turns to May all my sisters fly to me to paint, to paint

I just watched Hellraiser for the first time, it was so good! Bizarre, interesting, and freaky

So sorry to hear your mom treated you that way Homophobia is so unacceptable, I can't believe we still have to deal with that kind of mindset. This is a super safe space to share, and I am glad the song is giving you some support <3

The true ranking: Blue Banisters = Text Book = Arcadia = Wildflower Wildfire

It fascinates me when people are so openly willing to admit to such poor taste.

Oh gosh I'm curious to watch Martyrs but I'm also scared to LOL

Why did I read this as Charlie Sheen?

I honestly can't fathom thinking that Blue Banisters isn't a top tier Lana track, it's almost painful how beautiful it is. A simply stunning representation of healing.

Not wanting fall to pass by too quickly, but also wanting Blue Banisters as soon as possible...

But it truly isn't simple as that. There's no reason to assume she used the old songs to fill up the album with bulk. We know that she scrapped several other songs at the last minute, including newer songs, and chose to replace them with these songs, so it's obviously for a reason that makes sense to her. And given everything that we do about the album, the use of these older songs makes a lot of sense so far. Obviously once we hear the full album we'll be able to see the full picture, but for now I don't think there's any reason to assume these songs were just thrown on as filler.

St Tropez is a pop CLASSIC

The trap interlude will a time for us to reflect on the profundity of the first three tracks, and how we've pushed a sweet soul like Lana away to the point that she's left us, bittersweet, thanking us for the hate we gave while she prays for us to be better. It's like the beginning of a rollercoaster when you go up slowly and you know the drop is about to come. And then we dive headfirst into Black Bathing Suit and she starts to hit us even harder than we can imagine with every emotion possible.
