West Coast

This was her peak. That performance/rendition of Erotica lives forever rent free in my mind.

Yeah I know she did just that on BB & her Summertime cover, I was referring ot the hiccup before that.

Why doesn't Lana give us them vocals and that kind of production on her own stupid albums This is just so good. I love everything on Buddy's Rendezvous.

I wish Jack never used the word "bombastic". He cast a spell on LanaBoards when he did that.

Screaming. I love you.

I want this album to be amazing, I want Jack to come through with the best production we've heard, but most of all I want Lana to stop self-sabotaging like I know only her can. Make some blustering & energetic music again, enough with the ambient & tone down songs. I want fire & glitter ma'am, no more pseudo-hypster coffee shop music.

it's apart of the decor ofc

Mike Dean is a shady old broad and he doesn't give a damn

It's true.

either way her albums haven't been conceptual or that cohesive after Honeymoon.

One day we'll have concrete proof that you're truly Jack in disguise, or that you're squatting Jack's basement

Lana has not made a cohesive or so called conceptual album since Honeymoon. Everything after Honeymoon has been more or less a collection of songs she likes (judging by all the songs she mentions and eventually adds on the next album over and all the unreleased songs that we know of). Collaborating with Jack didn't help in that department either. I have been harsh towards him, that I know, but he has made great songs with her. I'm just over people putting up with her wanting to downplay everything, musically speaking. I just know Jack is that guy that when Lana says "can you make that part less intense/loud" or "make this and that instrument inaudible" or like "can you make the piano here sound as simplistic as possible", he's like "okay, Lana". Jack isn't a bad producer by any means, and I understand that artist don't necessarily want to make "bombastic music" all the time, but Lana's past three albums have been cute and nothing more (and I say this as someone that liked Chemtrails, but loved Blue Banisters) I'm checking out now.

well let's stop talking about his overrated ass then

Wouldn't that be awful

This surely is shaping up to be an interesting era, the dramatics already

All I can think about when I see this picture is her Met Gala wig

that whole post is giving this:

Jack is obviously involved with the next album, or the next one over, maybe even both—it's on topic. Next.

People come on here everyday to say they don't like Drew Erickson, Emile Haynie, Nikki Lane, that they're tired of Rick Nowels or that they dread the idea of Lana making a "country album", or dislike Chuck's photography, etc. Surely talking about Jack's work with Lana isn't far fetched.

*Lana hangs out with Jack in and out of the studio and posts about it on social media which inevitably starts conversations on LanaBoards & elsewhere, good or bad* LanaBoards users: cAn wE giVe tHis jAcK cOnveRsAtiOn a rEsT????!1!! Okay let's all live in an echo chamber then.

I genuinely believe this is his best work with Lana (maybe his overall best work as a producer). But the rest of his work with Lana, as well as his own solo work, is quite dull honestly, it's hit or miss. I want more from him, his approach is quite underwhelming in certain regards, very understated. Also, I honestly don't get why people are hating on Blue Banisters all of a sudden; an album that has Text Book, Arcadia (even though it's really not a favourite of mine), Black Bathing Suit, If You Lie Down With Me, Dealer & Sweet Carolina cannot be bad I'm sorry.

I think people should stop equating critical acclaim with superior music. Just like they should stop equating awards with talent. NFR is her most accessible work to date, I don't get why some of you guys get up in arms about that. Doesn't mean it's bad or that it sucks, just means that as far as music or lyric style goes it's her most accesible or palatable album thus far, even Chemtrails wasn't as subdued or watered down, much less Blue Banisters. Which partly explains their moderate success. Y'all act as if before Jack came along Lana was nothing, she had no vision, her creative process was subpar or even uninteresting, her albums weren't so good or whatever and I think that's bullshit. Jack didn't make her better, he made her more accesible. Quite frankly tired of people acting like NFR is the gold standard of albums and whatever came prior or will come after (even if produced by Jack) will pale in comparison to cRiTaCalLy aCcLaiMed NFR. Please. Lana was a full fledged artist long before Jack came along and she will long after as well.

I just think it's completely absurd to think that Lana had a fling with Weinstein. I'll stick to the Harry Winston theory because of the line "Harvey's/Ah he's in the sky with diamonds".

I don't know let's ask her

The straws grasping of it all
