i honestly kinda believe whoever leaked it did it as a sign she would be working with mike dean

Idk why but it's actually crazy to me that when Wild One leaked back in April it possibly was already on the OG  tracklist of Blue Banisters
 

Can someone on ATRL pretend to like Dua, get BOZ involved in a discussion about Future Nostalgia and then slowly change the topic to BB? Do it for the team 

Imagine a full rock version of Put Me in a Movie and the "you're my little sparkle jumprope queen" verse part could be sung by a male rock/metal vocalist
Ready for BB to be named Arcadia and PMIAM be track two

ikr, she is the queen of being random

nope
 
 
 

SO IM GOING INTO AVIATION YEAH MOM
IM GOING INTO AVIATION YEAH DAD
GOING INTO AVIATION
IM GOING INTO AVIATION

I get it, men are trash. Sending u good energy to help get over him bc u deserve better ???

i'm done w all 6 of them i can't lie  they better be reworked to high hell, synths on cherry blossom, doom metal living legend, give me somethign fresh 

Have we discussed what unreleased songs we think are on the album? I haven’t been in the loop as much so please correct me if I’m wrong, but so far we know about - 
 
1. Cherry Blossom
2. Thunder
3. Potential UV outtake (as Barrie has a writing credit) 
4. TBD 
5. TBD
6. TBD
 
And Fine China was previously on the record but has now been removed, yes?
 
I could see her using songs from the early UV sessions in 2013, as that acoustic sound (Living Legend, Cherry Blossom, Colour Blue) can totally be modernized to reflect Lana’s current piano-led sound. I could also see her using songs from TLSP sessions as Zach Dawes is a producer on BB and we already know Thunder is on the record. 

I'm OMW 

WW needs to open the album and BB need to close it. If not ill make someone catch these hands. 

well, guys, my man didn't came back in August as he promised me....
Are you all gonna fly to me to paint my banisters green and grey?

I just had a thought about how i might rearrange the UV tracklist to tell a little bit more of a story idk
Cruel World Shades of Cool Sad Girl West Coast Brooklyn Baby Florida Kilos Money Power Glory Fucked My Way Up To The Top Black Beauty Pretty When You Cry The Other Woman Old Money Guns and Roses Ultraviolence Ok so in my brain... the album tracklist is almost cyclical this way, if you were to replay it. So you have Cruel World - a great opener btw - which is basically about a weird sort of break-up, where Lana is indulging in all this chaos now that this man is gone; she says she's "finally happy", but obviously.... anyone's gonna be happy when they're all fucked up on Bourbon and heroin haha. So as much as this song is about distancing herself from this man, it also works out as a weird kind of ode to this man - you get the sense she's not entirely over him in a way. Then there's Shades of Cool, which is presumably about the same guy ("I'm one of many" / "I love all your women" etc etc), followed by Sad Girl which also has a similar story ("Being the bad bitch on the side..."), plus sonically it follows on quite well from the ending of SoC.
 
Then, the pace and narrative is changed with West Coast. Idk about you guys but to me personally this song represents having fun and good times ("If you're not drinkin' then you're not playin'", etc etc), so I imagine this song as Lana coming out of the sad parts of this relationship, perhaps even trying to get over it altogether, and going down to the beach and drinking and drowning her sorrows and probably meeting someone new ("Oooh baby I'm in love"). Then there's the upbeat Brooklyn Baby, a happy song about this new lover and the fun she's having with him, even in the face of doubt. Next is Florida Kilos, again another fun, upbeat song. This trio of songs represent the fun and cheerful parts of this story.
 
Still though, Ultraviolence as an album doesn't just represent relationships - it represents a chaotic, violent, self-indulgent way of living, at least in my opinion. The way Lana represents her career on the album reflects that. Next is Money Power Glory followed by FMWUTTT, two songs that are really a pair. She wants money, power and glory, so she fucks her way up to the top for it - pretty self-explanatory really. This is in the midst of the chaos and self-indulgences of this tracklist's story and it embodies that violent, reckless way of living.
 
Things start to slow down and get a little sadder again with Black Beauty. Here, Lana becomes self-reflective once more; she realises her lover can't see the beauty in life and it's harming the both of them. The themes of eternal devotion and doing anything to please her man even in a terribly toxic relationship reappear, thus beginning the cycle once more. Pretty When You Cry is next, which follows similar themes, then followed by her cover of The Other Woman representing Lana's position of always being the other woman, the woman who's just not enough, the woman who men can't quite commit to.
 
Next is Old Money, wherein Lana laments the past - particularly a past lover. She misses him and knows that if he calls, she'll run back to him. Possibly this is because she now, for better or for (probably) worse, accepts her position as 'the other woman', so she is prepared to deal with the lack of commitment that comes with being involved with the man of the Cruel World/Shades of Cool/Sad Girl trio. Next in Guns and Roses, she reflects on the things she loved about this man and shares her regrets: "I should've learned to let you play / You didn't want me all the time / But you were worth it anyway".
 
Finally, the title track: Ultraviolence. It does feel strange having the title track and the last track on any album, but this track is a perfect summary of the turbulence, chaos, drama, pain and misery of the whole album, as well as the little story I devised in my head for it. She admits that loving this man is hard and she knows it's bad for her, and she seems somewhat torn between wanting it and not wanting it. Still, she's obviously deeply infatuated with him. The cycle of the toxic relationship and ultraviolent way of living begins again. Hit replay, and you begin at the end once more.... until it all circles back together by the end of the album, and over and over and over 
 
ok that was long sorry i'm bored at work lol

omg the LFL tracklist arrangment ALWAYS bothered me so im v happy this thread exists, this my take on it without adding or subtracting any songs
 
13 Beaches (i mean seriously COME ON this song is the perfect opener) White Mustang Cherry Love Lust For Life When The World Was At War Coachella In My Feelings Groupie Love Tomorrow Never Came God Bless America Beautiful People Beautiful Problems Summer Bummer Heroin Change Get Free

I’ll give you the multiple release dates and the album title change but the rest is a reach.
 
Everything you know about this record is because you have access to insider infos, you browse LB/ATRL regularly (I suppose) and you benefit from something Lana has never wanted which is a major breach into her music collection that she never authorized/had control over.
 
It’s not her fault you know the album’s name once was Arcadia. It’s not her fault you know her unreleased tracks by heart when she had nothing to do with releasing them in the first place. It’s not her fault you have access to what tracks she might have scrapped/included. Remove all of that and all you get is a mishandling of the album release date and the change from Rock Candy Sweet on one hand BUT three released singles + an amazing album artwork + the title Blue Banisters set in stone from her behalf. The rest is something you shouldn’t have known in the first place. To use that info to criticize her is kinda disheartening and disrespectful as well.
 
I hope to see you raving the album to high heavens in a couple months or at least provide an opinion that isn’t biased by something she’s not even controlling.

want dreamgirl on the deluxe version so bad

atrl just described me as unhinged and they're right 

Oddly enough, just knowing what she’s considered for the album is interesting to me. I’m really looking forward to seeing how the final tracklist looks and how the previously unreleased/unused songs fit into the album, whatever those may be 

? Top energy 

boz putting his foot down is kinda hot
