where?? normally rsd editions can't be sold before the day in question, but if i can i will buuy it too

i wish she’d sign the cards in silver pen during cotcc, the blue was absolutely horrid 

The best thing she did was get out of social media... She looks happy and flawless... social media is really that toxic 

Wow she looks fantastic and great breezy energy! Like someone who just released BB and in doing so released so much more.
 
The annoyance at Maps ruining the song 

Put your red boots on,
baby, giddy up.
Baby wants a dance,
baby gets her way. 
 

manifesting US store vinyl restock today

I had almost forgotten just how awful Canada Post is  This is only from the US, too. Good luck to anyone who ordered from the Canadian store in general 
 

 
 
A bunch people in the US have, though idk about anyone on Lanaboards specifically. Hopefully it won't be too long!

You’re a genius. I agree with everything you say on here about the album. So true. That relationship with Sean was a big deal for her, more so than anyone I would say besides Barrie. 
 
it’s incredible to witness something like this happen to her- a breakup and recreating her life from it- and how (like she said in her live stream about struggling after a relationship ends) she can turn it into something beautiful. Like this fucking gorgeous album. She’s truly THE artist of our time. Like fuck the Grammy’s they wouldn’t know talent if it hit them on the head. Lana is the talent. 

Precisely! This is why I find it so unfair when someone says this is just a collection of old songs or that she’s lazy or uninspired… clearly this break-up was a catalyst to a very intense self-analysis and self-exploration that trace all the way back to her family and the impact her formative traumas still have on the current relationships they haunt.
 
That she laced that incredibly layered and dense concept with the themes of sisterhood, newfound stability within the family she chose and her own desire to fix the wrongdoings of her family by not only trying to do right by society but ALSO fostering nurturing and caring maternal reflexes towards everyone she cares about, is nothing short of breathtaking. 

Whenever I read or hear a negative review, I have the impression that the person hasn't listened to the album properly or is just judging on false prejudices. Especially when nonsense sentences come up like "everything sounds the same", "the album is too long" or "she is so hyperactive, one album a year is enough". If they have no time and desire to spend time with the music in depth, they should rather not give a review at all.

today was the first time in about two weeks that i didn't listen to the album at all and it feels weird. Idk, I guess I'm trying to keep it from getting old now. I've been using it for shower music which has been nice, especially the middle tracks leading into Dealer. i still love IYLDWM and BBS. fuck

imo Cherry Blossom is the Get Free of BB. Like the whole “this is my commitment, my modern manifesto” promising to uplift and support herself thru personal growth (I push you high, I’ll be right here etc) and to remind herself of how beautiful the experience of life is, that the struggles are worth it (much to learn/see)… especially with what she’s been talking about lately like understanding her history, her karmic lineage, and moving through the world beautifully or whatever she said, it made me think of those songs… idk … I love this theme for her tho 

If I had to claim one song today, it would be Thunder. Yesterday we had a huge storm that knocked out power to half the city (luckily ours was only out for about eight hours), and singing that song was the only thing that got me through the anxiety.

Still claiming the title track today (it's hit even harder for me with the full album for some reason??), but Violets For Roses is also doing things to me lately.

I’m so happy some of the “weird” crazy type vocals from Noir came back on Black Bathing Suit 

Fun (and maybe useless) fact:
 
Total number of times she says Blue:
Honeymoon: 24
Blue Banisters: 25
 
Total number of songs Blue is mentioned:
Honeymoon: 7
Blue Banisters: 6
 

My father never stepped in
When his wife would rage at me

Tell Breaking Up Slowly 

Do we know why Dealer doesn’t have the « feat. Miles Kane » mention? She always did put the other artist.s’s name.s on all of her collabs… 

exactly  yesterday I listened to White Dress / What Happened When I Left You / Black Bathing Suit and it was a religious experience

Black Bathing Suit hits different at the sunny morning

quick someone make a VFR/Boom Like That mashup

Black Bathing Suit is the ying to White Dress yang.
 
 

Twin!! My two favourite songs at the moment (and the title track has been on repeat since May). VFR deserves more love, the songwriting is so good!

? shes just using slang? its common to say "nothing" instead of "anything"
