i'll see you in three hours begging for the black beauty concept demo!

thunder (demo) vs. on & on & on

it happens EVERY SINGLE time

the fact that lana del rey has a hashtag and everybody else is tagged

when lana performs mermaid motel, pin up galore, & methamphetamines at the stephen colbert show i know that's right!

i claimed sweet carolina

i'm so sorry for your loss <3

aww, that's okay, it's still really amazing that you have the cd <3

i personally prefer chemtrails a lot of people love it, some people aren't really into it, i think the consensus would be that it's better than chemtrails, though

white dress vs. mermaid motel (demo)

honestly i even felt this way WITH the first three songs, they're all pretty different, of course, at the time i didn't think too much of it, and figured that it would all work within the entire body of work, but i feel like the album is quite disjointed and off-putting, this album has slightly psychedelic experimental moments with tempo changes, plain 'ol alternative ballads & piano ballads, dealer is some sort of alternative/soft rock song, there's a purely acoustic guitar track, living legend doesn't even sound finished, honestly, i think a big problem with it is the fact that this album has so many different producers, mike dean, zach dawes, drew erikson, barrie, rick nowels, & clayton & his brothers of course, born to die, paradise etc. did also have a lot of producers, yet it still managed to be very cohesive & it worked well, it's really off-putting going from a breezy, psychedelic soft-rock banger, to a spaghetti-western trap beat which was honestly pointless, to piano ballads, to a song with electronic distorted beats, to songs she recorded in 2013 and didn't bother to really finish, because let's keep it real, living legend wasn't finished, back to a piano ballad, idk, i just feel like she should've taken it more seriously, dare i say, i think i prefer chemtrails honestly violets for roses, beautiful, & sweet carolina aren't really anything different from anything that she made during the nfr/chemtrails era

idk what the point is, you're going to get banned the second a mod/elle finds out you're back

highly, highly unlikely

i guess this is the designated blue banisters critics thread? i just don't feel like i click with the album at the moment, maybe i'll feel differently once the album's officially released & hq, maybe listening to it as a whole i'll differently, however, at the same time i feel like listening to it as a whole will solidify my stance that the album just isn't... working for me... i feel like quite a few of the tracks are pretty unforgettable, in my opinion (arcadia, i haven't listened to that song since it was released, if you lie down with me, beautiful, violets for roses, dealer, sweet carolina) and i really dislike the fact that she didn't rework nectar, cherry, & living legend, i wouldn't consider them finished, fully-produced tracks, especially living legend, i feel like the first 3 songs she released were the best from the album, besides black bathing suit, that's my current favorite alongside wfwf, also, yeah, i feel like lyrically she's been pretty stagnant, some of the lyrics in sweet carolina are honestly bad (the crypto/kevin lyric wasn't iconic it was just stupid)
