    Why didn’t they add Riopy on the album cover in the first place? 

    It must’ve been to do with the fact that it was mainly a melodic sample with lots of added production, much like how the AK sample in Fishtail is some of its elements but not it’s leading instrumental (though the fishtail sample is a lot less noticeable). The SYML instrumental is a copy and paste so the feature is a bit more obvious there.

    So I've got my HMV and amazon ones and they're both soooooo cute. I actually quite like the transparency of the amazon one (side by side it's a lot more transparent than the UV UO one), it is just very different to the mockup. The HMV one is incredible, though I put this mostly down to shock because I had a huge hunch it would turn out to just be ANOTHER red vinyl.

     

    I have to agree with whoever said it earlier... the surface noise on these is LOUD (especially the Amazon). I thought it could be my player so put a few other Lana records on and they seem a lot quieter.

     

    Also is it me or do the records not have distinct spines? Like it's just half the black from the front cover with the title then half the white from the back cover?

    What if it’s a midnight EST release? :cryney:

    I'm like 90% sure it's a local release as iTunes still says 24th... COCC was the only global release and its release date on iTunes was 21st March (when it released on the 19th midnight EST). If it was coming at midnight EST iTunes would have to change the date to the 26th so that it isn't released 'early' in other timezones.

    Omg I am very curious to why VFR is so hated. Tbh it's one of my favourites on BB :xgiggle: I would really like to hear some opinions about it from others !

    VFR is one of my absolute favourites on BB, as well as BBS, the title track and thunder. I don’t get what’s so offensive about it to some people? I get that it sounds a bit flat at first but the emotion comes out of it the more you let it grow. It definitely took a while to get to the top of my list but now it’s there I don’t see it going anywhere!!

     

    My favourite part is definitely the ‘ah ah’ on the last chorus, the way it’s mixed into the background as if she’s screaming it from the other side of a door or something (or with a mask on:silly:)

    NFR and BB definitely but are you sure about cocc? because I have a screenshot of me listening to it on release day at 6am which is midnight est for me

    Yeah COCC was the only non-local.. I remember it bc everyone was so crazy because we'd had the leak for weeks and it was a running joke after the white dress debacle that they were dragging out the release as much as they possibly could

    I feel like we can't expect initial acclaim to this album. To critics reviewing after one listen there's a huge chunk of the album (interludes, Kintsugi, Fingertips) that is just so inaccessible to a casual listener. I feel like if she really wanted NFR level acclaim she would've just took these off the album and released K/F as a double single, the rest of the album would've still been as long as her others.

    imagine her having the backup singers for hwr whole setlist tho. it would be heaven. like when she did that pre-recorded live performance of "let me love you like a woman" with them. even if she had the same unchanged setlist she always has, it would add something different and exciting to the mix

    That would be amazing! I wonder if this is what she meant in the interview when she said about declining the last 3 years of Glasto because they didn't have a 'full band' (though I didn't overly understand what she meant here because there's only been 1 Glastonbury since she was last on the lineup)
