Blue Banisters - Pre-Pre-Release Thread
GeminiLanaFan replied to Elle's topic in Retired Pre-Release Threads
She better do something soon, before all hype is def killed. Norman was excruciating, but the music was worth the wait; this era, with its minimal prod, cannot be dragged on for a year of sparse news (look what it did to Chemtrails). -
Blue Banisters - Pre-Pre-Release Thread
GeminiLanaFan replied to Elle's topic in Retired Pre-Release Threads
I just saw on Twitter that Charli is releasing a new single on Sept 2… and announced it today, as in a whole month in advance… for a song. This better not give ideas to Miss Del Rey for the new single -

At this point, I’d just take an album. -

Does he even have a Twitter account anymore? For official Eclipse news regarding Lana, his Insta https://instagram.com/planet_eclipse?utm_medium=copy_link is probably the best thing or his other platform (Discord I think?) -

Has anyone Shazamed the snippet lately? -

When she posted the snippet, BoZ thought it was produced by Drew Erickson, who produced songs for the Killers. -

Maybe Crazy for You (if it was any good) but knowing UFB is apparently a duet with Barrie… -

I just want to preorder, so the damn selfie can be erased from my playlist when the singles come on (I know I could do it myself, but it’s not « official official ») Why do you want an EP next year with five songs you already know how they sound? -

Exactly! These selfies really feel « promo-ish » -

I think it’s a LB tradition, to automatically rip apart any potential info, except if it doesn’t have the BoZ crest (even Eclipse is dragged down all the time). -
I have high hopes for Oceanic Feeling but saxophone can be so bad in non-jazz songs… hope it’s not the case here Robyn

Nan, my mum’s passed away, but the rest, to not want to « destroy » your loved one, when you’ve been hurt in the past, that part resonates with me. On the other hand, I do connect a lot with my father being « absent », in Text Book. -
Blue Banisters - Pre-Pre-Release Thread
GeminiLanaFan replied to Elle's topic in Retired Pre-Release Threads
I do listen to the three songs every week, but this album, at the moment, feels like it’s going to be one that might not be as easy-going to listen to. The lyrics of the songs are so profound and with minimalist production, you have to be in the headspace or mindset of the song to go back to it. Same happens to me with Hope, Change, Heroin and others from Chemtrails. Many songs from LFL, I could listen casually because of the bigger production without necessarily connecting to the lyrics. But with piano-driven ballads, it’s harder for me to listen to the album on repeat if I’m not living what the songs are about. -
Norman Fucking Rockwell - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll
GeminiLanaFan replied to Elle's topic in Post-Release Threads
This album has some of her most beautiful songs and some of my all-time favourites Venice Bitch will always be a top5 for me, along with The Greatest / FIILY. recently, I’ve rediscovered Happiness Is a Butterfly ? i just love how special this album is, how timeless it is. -

Lana will probably receive some special Grammy / Lifetime Achievement price in a couple of years if she keeps putting excellent records as Norman, Chemtrails and Blue Banisters (from what we’ve heard so far). I don’t expect her to be nominated much next year less alone win. anyways… maybe she’ll post the tracklist this week?!? Unless there’s a special post coming like Chemtrails mentioning the preorder date… -

They were eaten by Tex and Mex :p Chuck, Jake and Banisters would complete the pics of the BB song lol

I’m listening to it from cover to cover and here are my final thoughts: between good and very good album, that would have benefited a bit of editing. For example: Not My Responsibility; it’s an important message (simply put but straightforward) but too simply produced as a track, with the same beats on the next song that works better but with a weaker message. Like why not have combined the two? My future should have been scrapped for the title track : pretty much the same message but it works so much better on the title track (by the way, I dont know who is the fucker that hurt her, but she had a lot to say about him lol). Like I said before, Billie’s strongest suit is when she adds beats to her songs: she doesn’t have the vocal range to carry on very long songs with minimal production. I love when she added kitschy / vintage prod elements to songs (Hayley’s Comet, Didn’t Change my Number and Billie’s Bossa Nova), and even the title track channels early Avril Lavigne, and Oxytocin seems inspired by 2000 pop. Some texts reveal she is still young (not her fault, but Getting Older is not a song I will relate to lol). so, a good sophomore album, though not as phenomenal as some said it is (and no, it’s not a concept album lol).
