Couldn't agree more with this. She's about to release what's shaping up to be her most complex, intrincate and diverse album from a musical, lyrical and artistical point of view, yet critics are already releasing their prefabricated views based on whats safe to say within their field, disregarding absolutely the freaking album they have in their hands. Not that this wasn't something expectable, but it doesnt make it less frustrating. 

Yeah if it’s true that Kendrick drops he’ll sell several hundred thousand first week but oh well at that point lol no hope 
 
that “premature” review was what it claimed to be… premature. Needed some more time to work it out better 

Not to offend anyone here, but NFR already seemed (except for 2/3 songs) like quite a weak album compared to COCC, and putting it against BB is just absurd. I absolutely respect the fact that people can like one album more than the other (be them which they may), but all the NFR discourse on that review has absolutely zero to do with artistic elements on NFR (there isnt any reflection based on that criterion there) and everything with the critics reception of that album. Saying that an album is "a masterpiece" just because critics have said so is absurd. I truly, truly miss some approach to that album that differs from the "official" one. It's hurtful to see that BB isnt even out yet and still it's already getting undermined by reviews done by parameters as such...

Lol I’m cracking up that someone already named their username “iphone11”

craig posted that in the beggining of bb era and notice the white fences on the background, its lana's backyard just like bb. Maybe it's the behind the scenes of bb mv ooooor the fourth mv 

That Stereogum review is so poorly written and disorganized. And all those references to NFR as her masterpiece… the jokes just write themselves.

No worries yeah I feel the same way - just super hyped for new Lana and potentially new Kendrick 
And yeah with the whole social media situation it doesn't look like she's gunning for a huge commercial splash regardless
 

oh, sorry for the misunderstanding! lol!
 
i don't really care for charts/sales either, regardless of whoever else might release, lana's album will still likely be successful, and we can't always change the fact that another popular artist could release the same day that lana does, it's all about the music & the art at the end of the day  

I think the atmosphere of Blue Banisters as a whole (videos, music, album covers, etc.) could be described as "cozy, autumn afternoon". There's such a particular vibe and aesthetic that's been built around this era and I can't even point my finger on how it was done, but it's stunning. 

Rumours of Kendrick dropping his album on Friday 
Six snippets of new songs just leaked, multiple leakers have corroborated the info + Friday is the anniversary of Good Kid MAAD City release, and he just updated Spotify profile pic
 
I say this because it might impact Lana's sales! GP interest will be much more towards Kendrick if this is the case I suspect

What Lana meant by sweet revenge. She doesn't even have to lift a finger to make critics finally show their true colours. Her mind! 

I mean... If BB/COCC were a single project with their best songs, it would probably be Lana's best album...

HOW was this not the album cover 😭 don’t get me wrong I’ll take the original cover but this is just magical

omg chuck's baby already has a lanaboards account, queen!

I want a beautiful video where shes just singing criss cross or laying down on top of a grand piano how amazing would that be

For some reason I think we will get a Cherry Blossom music video 
Manifesting a BBS, Dealer or Thunder music video or even better a BBS-Dealer-Thunder triple high budget music ft. Miles Kane & Daddy Zach Dawes 

I can't believe we've got three music videos already!
 
Can't wait for Dealer (Her and Miles singing at a karaoke), Thunder (Apocalyptic sultry/witchy MV) and Sweet Carolina (with exclusive footage of Chuck giving birth)
