Yep. I was just getting used to it.

Hahaha she’s back it sounds like something like this: Lana: I deactivated my socials, I need a little break. interscope:

The singles got a global release. Plus there is no physical copies of them involved. Dealer leaked probably because from one of the few lucky that got their hands on COCC when it was sent to mixing. But the album having multiple physical variants and midnight release look very good for it not to leak.

Yeah we are always craving more from her and when her album is shipped early, no way we won’t « share » the good news with other stans. I also think that it’s almost become common for her stuff to leak, like it happened so many times already, it’s not that bad if it happens once more, that fans don’t consider how it might affect her team. I thought Lorde’s fans were so nice in that regard, when SP was shipped early. That’s my prediction too.

I really love the harmonies and how simple and laid-back it is. It’s the kind of song you could sing at a bonfire.

It’s going to get harder with each record to rank them because none of them are bad (yes, even LFL and COCC). Norman remains my absolute fave, HM or UV in second (can’t decide), but BB sure will have more diversity and oomph than COCC for sure, a bit more passion.

Why do we want to do that? Since we know the release date already.. Unless we get a misinformed employee who thinks it’s already out and sells copies before the 22nd…

I think NFR is a good representation of the album: piano, a doomed love story, Mellotron, Laurel Canyon singer-songwriter vibes, Lana mentioning the word blue lol. But with Mac and VB following it, no song stood a chance as a grand opener… anyways, I began loving Text Book so much more knowing it was the opener of BB. It was the only place the song was « fitting » on the tracklist it seems.

Since NFR, her opening and closing tracks never seem like the right choice… like we need to let them sink in, as opposed to BTD, Cruel World, HM and Love (same with almost all of her closers), which hit right away. The only time that an opener or a closer from her struck with me after LFL was White Dress. That being said, I wouldn’t change any of her openers or closers, it’s just that her albums don’t hit as hard from the beginning nor haunt you at the end.

Probably unpopular and I have yet to hear BB in full, but… To appreciate Chemtrails better, you should listen to it in the fall, when the weather is cooling down a bit and your « regular life » is on full mode. All the songs that I didn’t listen to as much this summer (Dance Till We Die, Wild at Heart, Let Me Love You Like a Woman and For Free) sound much more « fuller » and not as « watered down » as I felt in the spring. And well, it’s not as surprising since this album is mainly a reflection on her craft and falls are usually synonymous of going back to work, so I think that why the songs hit differently. As for BB, I’m sure I’ll love it no matter when it comes out, but the themes of healing, the whole « cabin feeling » of the album, the thunderstorms and the black bathing suit situation seem to be better fitting in the spring.

Same! I always saw her songs as « a capture in time », expressing how she was feeling at that moment. In a society that negates « negative » feelings, she is a breath of fresh air. It’s important to acknowledge when we feel sad / shitty / unappreciated and not bottle those up and her music is therapeutic in that way, by helping me acknowledge and better understand how I feel. That being said, the only album of her that can « depress » me is UV in the middle of winter, with my mild seasonal depression, when I listen to it from cover to cover: I have to listen to it sparsely.

For the most parts, yeah but we sure are a crazy bunch

Unpopular but LB is not always representative of the whole Lana fan base, at least when it comes to numbers and what are her « best » albums. On LB, Wildflower Wildfire is often said to be the best out of the four singles released, and yet it has the lowest streaming numbers on Spotify. Fan favourites here : California, Shades of Cool, Heroin… Heroin and California didn’t even break the 50M stream barrier and SoC doesn’t even have 100M streams on Spotify. Not that those songs aren’t excellent, on the contrary, but when we are manifesting the next album to sound like those, not so sure if that album would be considered a success outside of here.

I Talk to Jesus is so underwhelming and I’m glad it is not on BB. The verses are good but the chorus sounds like a Sunday morning Christian contemporary soft rock song Wild One has incredible verses but something is a bit missing from the chorus and the bridge (I like it though, as opposed to I Talk to Jesus).

The duration of the songs were posted on ITunes the day of the preorder. They’re not there yet with BB. I think the credits for the COCC songs came out in the days following the preorder.

Drinking game idea: reread this thread from start to finish and take a shot every time someone slanders Nikki. You won’t make it very far

Blue Banisters = Arcadia > Text Book > Wildflower Wildfire (it’s grown on me a lot, and I really love it, I just don’t replay it as much as the other three).

I love that she’s always in the studio Even if it’s just a re-recording of BB.

I always thought that song was about Lady Gaga. ?

it’s cruel And yet so funny

I’m still praying for Fine China at some point, and I’d never thought I’d say this, but I’m kinda « over » Yes to Heaven. We already have so many versions of it and I get it’s a « mood song », but the lyrics are a bit tired IMO. And it almost made the cut of what? Four albums? She should release both tracks as a double single and call it a day.

I fucking love White Dress and that song, as well as the whole Chemtrails album, slaps hard at the moment (it’s the beginning of fall in Canada and even though it’s still hot, we feel like the heat is going away. That album should have been out last September). I don’t know if there’ll be tracks that will snap as hard as White Dress on BB, but the album already has many moments where she experiments with her voice, a bit like she did with WD (the bridge of Living Legend, Dealer…). And the storytelling on the four singles is already iconic and career highlights. Praying for early shipments

Living Legend has clicked with me yet, except for the distorted vocals at the end (I got it in very poor quality), but isn’t Dan Heath involved on the final ?!? I mean, it can’t miss.

What is happening in this thread since three days?!?
