I don't think so - but at this point, it could be a false .wav file if I find it I'll check it out and let you know if it's legit!

Blue Banisters - Pre-Pre-Release Thread
Glitter Boy replied to Elle's topic in Retired Pre-Release Threads
If you ask me, I'd love Wild One, Serene Queen, Dealer and Thunder in the album, but also I would love only Dealer and maybe the other 4-5 outtakes be chosen from the unleaked / unknown songs so we have all new-for-us material I mean, if we are going to be getting outtakes, it would be great that they are not (mostly) leaked songs. Look at Yosemite in Chemtrails. Scrapped from LFL and a true folk beauty maybe she has some gems saved for future releases that we haven't heard and they're still going to be brand-new for us! Just a retouch here and there and she could find home for many of her scrapped songs. -
I've been relistening to Digital Distortion lately... what a great album could have been I just wonder if Higher will ever leak though. And the Survive the Summer outtakes, of course.
-
I think that the last leak of AK47 we got is the higher quality that was circulating - 160 kbps. But I don't think that they messed up with the file. I guess it was produced that way in purpose, like, stylistically?

I go for 2 hours and hell raises on the streets huh Anyways, stream Wildflower Wildfire for good luck today Comfortably numb but with lithium came poetry and baby I... -
Wait I've never been able to fully immerse in a Poppy record but maybe Flux is the one! The title track sounds amazing, so I may jump into this era

Blue Banisters - Pre-Pre-Release Thread
Glitter Boy replied to Elle's topic in Retired Pre-Release Threads
The only thing that could happen is that she *could have* began working on a concept song that years later evolved into Let Me Love You. But it's kind of a reach, so I actually doubt it's true. -
I don't like The Devil and my hype for the album died really fast last month, I don't know how and why it just did. I guess I'll die alone in this hill though.

That could at least give us a different energy for the 2021 output -
Ugh I really wish she'd delay the film to anytime after the album. I don't really care for her visuals (though they're pretty good)... it'd be really great if the album came within the span of the next 6 months and the film in the next 1.5 yrs.
-
I hope it comes soon a late 2021/early 2022 would be great honestly Didn't noticed it before lol guess I'll just stop believing any random comment about material being scrapped
-
Was it scrapped? Ugh I don't even know what to believe anymore

If I Fall stereo thanks for sharing! I still had the Naked LQ lol
-
True 320 kbps! And thanks for sharing

An upscale indicates that a song was encoded to show a higher quality register when the file itself is lower quality. For example, if I have a 128 kbps song and I use a converter to FLAC, I can say "hey, here you have a FLAC file!" but then I check the spectrum of its quality (through a tool titled Spek) and it shows it's not real lossless. Here you have an example (using a different song, it's a screenshot of the Spek tool but I wrote the approximate values of the qualities according to where do the colors top): A lossless looks like this: And the Conductor file in the folder shows like this: Thus, it must be around 128 kbps, but it was encoded to be FLAC/ALAC and it shows an apparent higher quality of 786 kbps, but it does not have that quality. Sorry for the long reply, I just thought it would be easier to understand it using screenshots

I don't care what anyone says, critics can fuck off, I LOVE this album I swear it took me by surprise I love it so much, Fallen Fruit is giving Bury the Hatchett's The Cranberries and The Man with the Axe is giving early Sia and I'm living for it Hold No Grudge and Mood Ring are incredible, top tier in the album for me. I even enjoy the title track now I would only add a little more production to Stoned, Helen of Troy (I needed that to build up and explode in an amazing outro), Dominoes and Big Star, removed the outro from Secrets and there you have, AOTY. It's making it onto my top 10 albums of the year anyways
-
Swap The Man with the Axe with Dominoes
-
And all the material she said she did during the Melodrama sessions too
-
Conductor is an upscale but the other two are certainly higher quality than the ones I had! Thanks for sharing
-
Of course! Here is the post where I put it. It only lacks the additions I did for the second half of the chorus in V2, so you're not missing a lot! Thanks hun! Thank you! I did one long ago, but it doesn't have additions like in Patient. In it, I filtered out her vocals and edited it so I could layer it as a "background vocal", and that's why it sounds much more complete now. But with Band Aid, I didn't add anything extra, just made a little extended edit so it wasn't as short as the original leak. Here, in case you want to check it out!: https://dbree.org/v/612114

Finished the second version! https://dbree.org/v/961203 I decided not to add anything to the instrumental, it sounds perfect that way. I just enhanced the chorus a little bit and added the instrumental outro of the original. Enjoy!
-
But are they? I thought they were exclusive to the *download card* from the physical edition

I just finished the album, and I gotta say I enjoyed it more than I was expecting! I won't put all my notes here, just my personal rating for each song, my faves and the ones I didn't vibe much lol. Overall - 8/10. The Path - 9 Solar Power - 7 California - 8 Stoned at the Nail Salon - 8 Fallen Fruit - 10 Secrets from a Girl (Who's Seen It All) - 6 The Man with the Axe - 10 Dominoes - 6 Big Star - 9 Leader of a New Regime - 7 Mood Ring - 10 Oceanic Feeling - 7 Helen of Troy - 8 Hold No Grudge - 10 Favourites: Hold No Grudge, Fallen Fruit, Mood Ring, The Man with the Axe Least favourites: Secrets from a Girl (Who's Seen It All), Dominoes, Oceanic Feeling It's okay if people don't like it - but it's in no way a bad record. Whoever wants a more electropop, radio friendly, intense sounding material from Lorde, can revisit her previous catalog

Blue Banisters - Pre-Pre-Release Thread

I'm pretty sure she will! She particularly serves vocally in Wildflower Wildfire and Blue Banisters, and the harmonies in Text Book are beautiful too, so I think she will go awffff in Arcadia and the rest of the album too
