Fingertips

I didn't know that Lana was a bubblegum pop star now...

Question for LanaBoards: Can we all come together to recognize the fact that each LDR record will resonate or not resonate with many different people depending on so many factors, all in which boils down to personal taste. You don't have to like every single album that she puts out to be considered a fan, nor does someone who enjoys a new record merely "eat up everything she puts out, with no possessed ability to critique." If X is your favorite and Y is your least favorite, that's great, and we should all be humble enough to at least acknowledge that she has a diverse catalog of music that evokes various reactions from people. Stop crucifying people for not liking something, and stop generalizing people who enjoy a new record into a superficial category of being followers who can't think critically. These fights happen after every album. let people have their opinions.

I got my copies yesterday and they're so beautiful. Definitely my favorite album covers from her since UV.

Wait, I want this now

We're back in that part of a post release era where all we do is fight I see

I think a lot of people missed the memo that Lust for Life was a gift for the fans and just a transition to where she's going now, which is deeper into a more personal and contemplative nature of writing music

Yes yes yes yes. Cherry Blossom and Living Legend both play a significant role in interweaving the thematic and musical threads of this record

Reading short stories written by Nabokov as I have the album playing in the background on this rainy day, with no care about chart positions or album sales in sight

wait, WHAT? nvm, mess

Yeah, and it goes both ways too. Just because someone likes Blue Banisters and another poster doesn't, that doesn't make them not real fans and I wish we would all stop with this nonsense.

How are you going to write some essay about how "against the grain" you are by disliking a record, and then use that same mentality and logic that you claim to be so against with the "if XYZ likes or doesn't like XYX, they aren't real fans" What is that old adage of "two wrongs don't make a right" again?

I have a feeling that the "batshit crazy" project that she's been wanting to do for years may be some sort of double/triple release

Nectar of the Gods vs Beautiful People Beautiful Problems

disco vs trash magic

The headlights from passing cars They illuminate my face, and Leave me in the dark The voice of Nirvana says "Come as you are" And I will The night time is almost ours One of Lana's most haunting and evocative lyrics. Oh Say Can You See is a masterpiece, and I can see it being placed on Blue Banisters, right between Nectar of the Gods and Living Legend.

Hot fire, hot weather, hot coffee, I'm better So I turn but I learn (it from you, babe) Not to turn into a wildfire To light up your night With only my smile and nothing that hurts Baby, I run like a wildflower I live on sheer willpower I promise that nothing will burn you Nothing will burn, burn, burn, burn Like the others baby, burns, burns, burns Burn, burn, burn Like the others baby, burn, burn, burn

Let's just tell her it's a sax so we can get more of it on future records

and then putting it on shuffle iktr

there's a few from each album except chemtrails. aka: oh say can you see & yayo born to die: video games and the title track paradise: ride (ew, could never be me now) Ultraviolence: old money, flipside & black beauty Honeymoon: Terrence, most notably the bridge Lust for Life: Tomorrow Never Came, Heroin and Change Norman: pretty much the whole album from how good it was, but love song, how to disappear and mariners especially made me cry Chemtrails: none Blue Banisters: sweet carolina, thunder, blue banisters and text book

You say: "what's a grower?" I show you this song

They fixed it much quicker than NAWWAL/Yosemite

Random, unhinged, long musings about Cherry Blossom that I may or may not delete...

yeah, i've listened to it enough times by now to say this is officially my favorite LDR record, with too many reasons to write out at the moment. Sorry, Honeymoon

Ready for the 2022 version of Pluto
