I personally enjoy the new pre-chorus of KOH bc it's pretty much that same vibe that they removed from Claws... but I have to laugh at the Rina nod... i feel u on that one

FTB is borderline another compilation  like the only songs that feel brand new to me are Minute & Claws

it’s such a serpentina song it makes no sense to be on this album 

Okay they ruined KOH with that fucking extra synth on the pre chorus someone get me the Molotov cocktail it pulls the energy up too much/too high and then drops it too much literally causing her vocals and the instrumentals to fight for the space in your ears in a negative way (fucking Sawiyama production special I s2g)

Hoping someone Leakes the demos in HQ/lossless. Album is leaked. Full is out tomorrow. No point in hoarding.

Melanie's voice must have definitely matured (or whatever the smoking conspiracy is) like RIGHT after K-12 was finished because she could barely sing that album on the tour. I mean, 80% the set was lipped. She sounds so much better singing this set of songs, they definitely suit her current voice better. I like that they use a bit more tune on certain songs as well. That mic is ON! Void & TV sound great here

Sooooo that final version of BAIT better just be a clean version. Banks singing "if you want a bump you can pull up to my place" was everything.

I really doubt it because the only version for pre-order on iTunes in my country shows uhoh and Alone as the only explicit songs on it. If BAIT was explicit it would be included as such, and if the version leaked was the clean, uhoh had to be clean as well which is not. Probs they replaced the explicit lyric of the demo with a rewritten line in the final

Hi! I wanted to make a thread where people could discuss and maybe share info about the Tropico album, because it really interests me and I'm sure some of you feel the same way! 
 
What we know:
- It was recorded during late 2012-2013 but was eventually scrapped and turned into "Ultraviolence".
- Lana announced that the short film would use three tracks from "Paradise" instead of songs from her then scrapped album in July of 2013.
- "Elvis", the laptop demo from 2008 was possibly considered for inclusion on the album, but was probably never re-recorded.
- The concept "Ultraviolence" was born and "Tropico" was scrapped sometime after October 23, 2013, since Pink Champagne is confirmed to be on Tropico's tracklist, and it is the latest known recording date we know of for any of the songs on Tropico.
 
"Tropico" track list (that we know of):
 
1. Old Money (Drums Demo)
2. Black Beauty (Demo)
3. Guns n Roses (Demo)
4. Lake Placid
5. Summertime (Janis Joplin cover)
6. Melancholia ("Ultraviolence" Demo)
7. Jesus (I Talk To Jesus)
8. Pink Champagne ("Let Me Love You Like A Woman" Demo)
9. Elvis
10. Earthquakes (Final Version)
11. Illegible
12. Illegible (Money & Power?, Fake Rolex?, Axl Rose?)
13. Illegible (Preacher?)
 
Picture of Lana's notebook with the alleged track list during January of 2013:
 
Other songs (and their recording dates) that were recorded during the Tropico sessions, in other words: songs that were recorded after "Paradise" but before the concept of "Ultraviolence" existed
 
(* = unsure)
 
- 80s Baby (Nov 15, 2012)
- Sweetheart (Nov 15, 2012)
- The Devil (Dec 7, 2012)
- He Hits Me Because He Loves Me (Dec 7, 2012)
- Nectar Of The Gods (May 5, 2013)
- Cherry Blossom (May 5, 2013)
- Angels Forever, Forever Angels (June, 2013)
- Unidentified Flying Bill (June, 2013)
- Madly (Oct 1, 2013)
- Ave Maria
- Cult Leader*
 
Lmk what I should add!
 

Ok i should've put that in the "I have no clue" section. MY bad

Melanie absolutely PEAKED with the Mad Hatter mv
100% accurate but vocoder was more of a test rather than a concept for Sirens.

"Inconsistent Flame" was in April in Hawaii. Most Emerald exports are too.

For whatever reason I felt inclined to share Powder specifically because I felt Melanie tapped into something new, and it's become a fav amongst a lot of my friends. She just needs to keep writing iconic bridges again
