I feel like so many people on LB love Thunder! (Not just me, ignore my username, it weakens my argument)

it’s funny to me how everyone begged for an album with unreleased tracks on it and now that it’s happening, people shit on it. y’all are never happy..

Dont forget the album its a NARRATIVE about where she was where she is now and where she is going. Past present and FUTURE. Its very cool to put highlights of her past to describe how she lifes used to be. 

Now listen to me... she is not lazy... every song that she chose to put on this album its somehow a important part of her life. Living Legend is the song she wrote for a friend. Color Blue is one of the last songs she wrote to Barrie (her biggest relationship so far) cherry blossom is one of the very first songs she ever wrote. Thunder is a fan favorite since the day it leaked. And dealer fits well with her past of drugs. She is smart.
 
 

the way i thought the album is releasing today so I called in sick and now they want me to pay money to do the test before I return to work.... ugh Blue Bannisters better not disappoint

I would rather have more new song too but honestly those songs are truly beautiful and it's her work so she can do whatever she wants with it, we were never meant to listen to these songs so ? if we already heard half of the album that's on us 
And most of all I'm glad that we are getting Thunder in hq because the quality we have is awful! 

It may be true, or not. But we do know that she scrapped an earlier version of the album which presumably contained a lot of new material, which we may see later on another project. 
 
To me, BB the album still seems like a compromise, something lukewarm, neither hot nor cold.
 
But we'll have to wait and see. 
 
I personally wish BB, TB and WFWF were also not on the album. When it is released, like NFR!, we'll have heard at least half of it. 

Arcadia really grew on me.
While it started out as "a nice ballad", I think that within the context of the album its (sonical) softness will kinda be like a juxtaposition of the darker and harsher undertones of the other songs. Kinda like David Lynch put puffy Julee Cruise  ballads in between raw and violent moments of Twin Peaks.

I just wanted to say that ‘Blue Banisters’ title track is one of her top three... although I hate the name (the ‘blue’ is overused)... the song itself is amazing, it is the absolute epitome of trying your best to remain strong but somewhat failing no matter what needing the help from close ones... it’s something no artist talks about in this damned industry.. it’s okay to get help from others.. sometimes are burdens are too heavy to carry and we can’t help but depend... idk it’s just so.. magic. Touches right to the heart and soul.... false hope is a dangerous thing to have.. we all have it at some point. 
 
also the imagery in the changing of seasons.. beautiful

The way y'all act like this album is not gonna be a serve is sending me  it's Lana, she delivers quality after all. Now stream Arcadia + the singles and be happy  

Why are we acting like we know Lana and her life/story on a deeply personal level? I don't think any of us really have a right to say that the demo songs aren't part of that, especially since a lot of them do revolve around similar themes to what she has shared with us over the past year or so. I understand that it's a bit frustrating since it's 4 songs we've already heard + 4 singles, meaning we only have 5 new songs (6 if you include Dealer), but I don't know. For me, I just don't feel like it's right to decide whether or not the decision to put the unreleased songs on the album was a good one or not until I hear the album in full. 

uuuughhhhhh i need october 22nd to be tomorrow!!! can't wait to receive my vinyl and cassettes

my chest the sierra madreeee heeeee heeeeeyyyy  
my curves SanGa^briel all daaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy  ARCAAAAAAAAAAAAAADIAAAAAAAAA  ARCAAAAAAAAAADIAAAAAAAAA 

ya'll are fuckin bored huh 

the opening track will be a haunting acapella rendition of boom like that with niko and topanga shrieking in the background

i think "if you lie down with me" could possibly have psychedelic/uv vibes since it's originally from the ultraviolence era, i get pretty when you cry vibes from that title

i NEED some psychedelic influences on the album, hopefully on BBS. Venice Bitch was the highlight of nfr and i'd like to see something reminiscent of that. 

surf rock bop. 

so, do we believe that "beautiful" will actually be a surf rock song?

i agree, he's such a talented dilf  lfl and nfr were by chuck though 
also, bb and cocc look gorgeous next to each other, that blueish hue is heavenly 

The Neil Krug covers just hit different. So glad we got him for BB again. 

i love your anti men spree  

want BBS to make me feel like an expensive sexy ass divorcee 

Since Chuck’s favorite song is Pawn Shop Blues It would be so sweet if Sweet Carolina had PSB vibes

A kitschy, country-rock inspired glam shoot with David LaChapelle  would be so perfect for this era
