Yes! Peace! Let's make love not war!

Hi all,
I wanted to check in with you all about the recent rise in drama that the mod team and I have noticed over the past couple of weeks. It appears that drama on the site among members is at a peak, so I wanted to pop in and remind you all that LanaBoards won't tolerate certain types of behaviour.
It seems that the drama is especially high in other artists' threads and in world news threads, especially when it comes to hot-topic debates. While LanaBoards welcomes opinions and discussions of different viewpoints, it is important that these opinions are shared and discussed in a respectful manner. As stated in our rules, LanaBoards will not tolerate any posts that are meant to be purposely inflammatory (flaimbaiting to intentionally start an argument) rude, hateful, insulting, or otherwise crossing a line, and members violating this rule will be warned and given restrictions at our discretion. This is something the moderator team is going to be taking very seriously as it is our mission to have LanaBoards be a safe and welcoming space for all.
Something we've especially been noticing a rise in is personal attacks towards other members and people including other artists, which is something we won't tolerate. Let this serve as a reminder that behind the usernames and profile pictures, we are all real people with real feelings. There's no need to make things personal. Please be mindful and respectful of this when communicating with other members. Again, we do welcome varying opinions and healthy, constructive debates, but please keep these respectful. Think before you press reply.
Something else to keep in mind is that not all intense debates need to be made public, especially if they're veering off-topic of the thread. We encourage users to make use of our personal messaging system to have private discussions, but again, please keep these respectful.
We understand that news is slow at the moment on the Lana front so tensions are a little high, but please don't let this translate into disrespect towards others. 
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns - you all should feel comfortable to reach out to me or another staff member at any time about anything. We are here to help and keep this place safe and enjoyable at the end of the day.
I hope to see things become more peaceful. I'm sending you all lots of love and I hope you all enjoy your weekend x
Let's work it out on the remix~

Thank you, GLF. I'm looking at Lasso the opposite way due to her interview remarks 6 or 8 weeks back and nothing since---that perhaps it will be released with a minimum of fanfare, radio spots, videos, promotion, etc. due to her feeling that she's been beaten to the gate by other artists. 

I hope it will see release, and this year. As I've said here before, country music is the oldest American genre short of fife and drum music, so why she would be bothered to be a part of a trend, or be seen to be a part of one, I can't understand. For almost any artist in any genre, making a country album could hardly be seen as original.

Confirmed info or our usual weekly fear?
 
i wouldn’t discard a short pre-release era (as an announcement and lead single in Sept for a end of October or November release). Many artists / labels are taking down that route this year, after the vinyls have been sent to plants for a couple of months. And let’s face it: even if she announced the release date three weeks prior, we’re crazy enough to buy three vinyl variants, no matter how broke we are  But if she’s still in the midst of working the album, then I agree with you, I don’t think it’s coming this year. 

For me, that's true many times over. 

A brave thread indeed. 

Full agree— The Greatest is up there with Yayo, Cola, Ride, Video Games, Old Money, 13 Beaches, Heroin, Yosemite, and If You Lie Down With Me in my book—among the best of her [released] songs to my ear. It would have made a perfect album closer, just as 13 Beaches should have opened LFL.

I've been saying this here about OB--the album--since its release; I'm glad you hear it the same way. Some or most members find its sound immaculate. Let The Light In is almost ruined by the muffled sound, and it's my favorite on the album which, admittedly, I don't care for much. 

I would nominate  HIAB, which I consider her worst released track; the 'happiness is a butterfly' part is beautiful and then all that rabbit in the alley **** and 'youhoo' stuff comes in and ruins the song completely. It sounds like two different songs badly mashed together, the second being a bomb.

I really hate what the Internet has become. This is obviously damn serious. The fact that I first learned about this with a meme says everything. 
 
 
And also this. Has the anti-science, anti-logical thinking movement really come this far? That everything has to be a conspiracy, or staged, or whatever. This is why serious evil stuff gets allowed more than ever it seems. 
 
Our ex Vice President got almost killed by a gunman a few years ago and people to this day still believe it was staged, when proof is out there.
 
RIP to the victim.

That’s cool. Is there Anything you wanna contribute to the actual conversation? Or would you rather just continue being a cunt, after the mods asked for the catty limp wrist antics to stop?
 
I know you’re probably butthurt that nobody takes you seriously, and I promise im not even trying to be shady here, it’s just like… you can go back to reddit? Nobody cares for that kind of commentary here pookie
 
mod note: user was warned for this post

i just wish kintsugi and some of OB sounded less muffled

None. I think that her songs are in a way like they were meant to be.

Dance until we die - just because the bridge is good, doesn't make the song good 

I completely agree

Truth Bartender is so boring to me and it sucks cuz I like the lyrics and the bart-t-t-tender part so much but the production kinda ruins the song. Hope is also boring to me production wise and I think it should've just been a poem. Happiness Is perfect
