I’ll pray for you Kathi. You and that disgusting mouth of yours.

Chemtrails is so underrated and misunderstood, truly a sublime masterpiece. It's both gentle and dark and tells a beautiful story of her ultimate rejection of fame, which makes perfect sense given where we are today with this album's rollout and what she said Blue Banisters means to her. The story she's been telling since day one is so incredible and intricate and I really feel so lucky to be witnessing it in real time. In the future, at the end of the her career, people will be able to look at everything as a whole and see how amazing it all is, but we are the lucky ones who get to see her life's story unravel as it goes, and understand all the little moments of where she's at in the moment that Lana infuses into each chapter.

There is literally nothing lazy about the four emotionally revealing masterpieces she's released so far so I'm not too worried about that.

She really is getting a deeper form of revenge than we thought with this album. When she first announced it I was expecting something angry, but instead she's telling her story in a really open and honest way, and then retreating from the public before the album is even out. It's heartbreaking revenge and critics will have a harder time trashing her in this new context, without looking even crueler and stupider than they already do. Lana is one of the greatest artists of all time (the greatest in my opinion, but I know that's subjective) but so much of the conversation around her is about unfair bullshit that's taken out of context and always paints her in a negative light. Most people who don't listen to her don't even have the slightest clue of the level of talent she has, because they wrote her off years ago before giving her a chance. It's so annoying when I mention Lana in certain settings and I can just feel the energy in the conversation shift as if people think it's problematic to love her. I don't understand how anyone can call this move dramatic on her part, it makes perfect sense and has been a long time coming. All we can really hope for is that her art does became the focus the way it always should have been, although even if it doesn't in the immediate future, there is no doubt that long beyond her time she will be regarded as a complete legend.

LOL I love this description

Truly a highlight of her discography, that bridge is so haunting. The way she says television static was quite overwhelming sends me into the ether.

It's amazing.

Her goodbye video was simultaneously so sweet and so heartbreaking It's really not that surprising with the way she is treated by people, but it's sad that she's been pushed to the point of not wanting to share her life with us anymore. I hope this decision brings her some peace of mind and a disconnect from the toxicity of the internet and the cruelty so many people throw her way. Thank goodness she re-assured us that her art isn't going anywhere, I can't wait for all the wonderful things she has in store for us They built me up three hundred feet tall just to tear me down So I'm leavin' with nothing but laughter, and this town Arcadia Findin' my way to ya I'm leavin' them as I was, five foot eight Western bound, plus the hate that they gave By the way, thanks for that, on the way, I'll pray for ya But you'll need a miracle America

Justice for Nikki Lane. BUS is a critical moment on COCC and I'm genuinely excited to hear the music she and Lana come up with together in the future. I don't think she's going to be on this album though.

Omgggg Arcadia is SO beautiful! I fully cried on the second listen once I grasped the whole story of the song. The final verse is just devastating. The whole song is so gentle and gorgeous, this album is really coming for us... and OMG the interlude LOL I was not expecting that at all. Black Bathing Suit is going to slay.

So beautiful, happy to hear you're at a place where you're getting your life to the place you want it to be! Lana is always so good at helping guide us through our healing

NFR was the end of the world as we know it, Chemtrails was the quiet uncertainty that comes after that as you pick up the pieces and try to figure out what comes next, and BB is the assembly of those pieces as you start to understand your place in the world and the story you want to tell.

I honestly can't believe we're already in this beautiful situation again so soon after Chemtrails

Rock Candy Sweet knowing it's coming up next before we have time to recover from Blue Banisters

Omgggg! That's amazing, sounds like good choices to me

Omg I'm waiting til I can listen in HQ but the Fire Walk With Me comparisons have me soo excited for Dealer

Nectar of the Gods is sooo beautiful to me, I'm not disappointed that it wasn't reworked. There's something so haunting about its simplicity, and it's going to lead into Living Legend so beautifully.

Once I found my way, but now I'm lost...

Omggg this would be wild

Since I missed 200 pages I tried to jump around a little and catch up but I'm still confused . Was anything confirmed? 15 tracks? Release date in 1 month?

Omg I've been gone for two days and came back to over 200 pages I'm so excited!!!

Omg I'm visiting family for the weekend and I was playing Blue Banisters for my mom (she said it's instantly her favourite Lana song btw) and my 80 year old aunt ran into the room halfway through the song gobsmacked and said "who is this??? It's so beautiful oh my god..."

I haven't listened to the Arcadia snippet in over a month but for some reason the last 24 hours it's been in my head non stop. September 8th incoming

Waiting...
