How was I not a fan of NOTG before?? it’s literally been playing in my head all morning long… I think I still need more time to fully appreciate the chorus, but the verses touch me so much, they’re gorgeous. Crazy how much the song makes sense within the context of the album

don't tell me to be glad when i'm sad
i really hate that

Let me show you how sadness can turn into happiness
I can turn blue into something
beautiful
 

I agree with you!!
My interpretation of the album is that it starts with her breakup with Sean (TB, BB) which leads her to do a deep introspection. She starts with an introspection on her image, how others see her (Arcadia, BBS, Beautiful). On IYLDWM, she’s not over the breakup yet, but then the introspection continues as she realises that Sean wanted to change her for someone she is not (Beautiful, VFR). That leads her to the angry stage of her breakup on Dealer. She then regains her calm but still holds a grudge against Sean for not being a good enough man for her, for not caring as much as she wanted him to. She’d rather cut him off (Thunder). On WFWF, she meets a new man and warns him of her past, and the issues she’s had. The introspection continues as she tells her new man (possibly Clayton at the time?) that she’ll do her best to not turn into a wildfire despite her past. She then goes deeper into her past by remembering an old lover on NOTG and realises how hard life still is for her, but she starts thinking about an old friend of hers on LL and how life could be with a kid on CB, and realises that no matter how hard things are, she’ll always be full of love for the people she holds very close to her heart. She knows she’s not alone and has so much love to give. She’s now over the breakup, and makes an attempt at leaving behind the pain of her past to focus on the present. Her sister is having a baby, and Lana knows that that’s what matters the most. The album closes with SC, a love letter for Chuck to remind her she’s always here for her.

Thank god we still have to wear a mask in public places because I cannot listen to the “mail me when you get the blues” part without wanting to laugh, it reminds me of Lana’s SNL Blue Jeans performance when Shakira possessed her for a few seconds

That will never happen, but if the album gets some 9/10 and 10/10, the score could slightly rise, so maybe there’s a chance the album will end up with a score around 82-83. But there’s also a chance it goes down to 77-78 depending on if the rest of the reviewers are kind to Lana or not… The reviews shouldn’t lower than 8/10 from now on 

I relate to VFR so much. The line “Ever since I fell out of love with you, I fell back in love with the city/the streets“ speaks to me as much as the title track does. I went through a breakup in February and started hating the city I live in, I was so uncomfortable walking down the streets knowing my ex was never going to walk them with me anymore, and step by step, as I was moving on, I rediscovered the city, and how beautiful it is. And sometimes it feels like the neon lights are sparkling for me, just like Lana thinks the Paramount sign sparkles for her

The Post gave Blue Banisters a 4.5/5 
That will be a 90/100 if Metacritic includes the score on the site.

I’m so conflicted with Dealer… I love Lana’s part so bad and how sultry the production is, but I really cannot stand Miles Kane’s voice…
I now understand how frustrating it was for the people who liked Breaking Up Slowly but didn’t like Nikki’s voice. At the end of the day, we cannot force ourselves to appreciate every singer in the world, but I wish I could play Dealer more often without having to directly skip to Lana’s legendary screaming part

Yeah I too wish she was singing more than just the chorus and backing vocals in the outro, honestly with Miles singing on the majority of the song it would’ve fit better on one of his records

Here we go again bashing other female artists just because their fans are being annoying

The chords for Violets are insanely beautiful, I think the song is in my top 3 now

Girl I completely feel this, I never used to listen to it but I think the only change Lana made for the album version is actually injecting heroin into the song or something, it's addictive and delicious

I’m glad the song found its way through you  This song was always in my top 5 of her unreleased  When she sings the ooooooohh part in harmony, it’s some of her best vocal deliveries ever. I always pictured myself listening to that song on the beach, by a bonfire. It’s so magical.

Cannot wait to listen to the album with my mom. We have this tradition of listening to every LDR record together at least once, and I’m sure she’s going to like this one because she loves Lana’s lower register, and she uses it in quite a few songs
