The way this topic is named post-release discussion when the album hasn't been released is beautifuly weird.

Here are my first toughs about it : Is the cover that looks like a mix of the original one with a less farther version of the HMV one real ? Am I allowed to post it here as it's not from an official source ?

Great ! Thank you. I can't wait.

I would love to hear that

Thanks to all of you who actually took the time to reply seriously. Now I want the album even more. Can't wait to hear that beauty I so agree. Maybe Barrie asking for Riverside is what inspired her to change half the album (so she could include those great songs written with him, that she wouldn't dare to use anymore.

For those who've heard the supposedly Blue Banisters version of Thunder, what does it sound like ?

I didn't hear no drums but it is definitely reworked. I hear guitar and I think the synth are a bit different. Plus it's completely remastered. It's the same vocal takes but the treatment is different. Barrie's vocals sound so HQ compared to the version we have. We have yet to hear Lana cause it cuts just were she start singing. It's beautiful and I'm so glad we're getting all the good songs released Leaks are good when the songs won't get released at all but it's better to have them in proper quality with good mastering. Plus we can hear them on streaming platforms. It's even better when they get incorporated in a precious body of work like BB. We're definitely the lucky ones

I just realized the video would have been perfect for honey Cherry Blossom. "Swing it high like Jesus Babeeeee" We need it as a single

If it's on an official site, I don't see why you would be banned for it. Let's see what Elle says.

I don't understand, it's not officially ? How different does it sound ?

That a possibility. She's the queen of irony

Didn't know about the theory that she didn't know Jimmy. That line from Gods & Monsters could kinda confirm it : "Like a groupie incognito, posing as a real singer" Lizzy being a Jimmy obsessive stan posing as a real singer. Then she becomes famous while no one knows Jimmy. Groupie Love could also have been about that relationship. Maybe Lana was fantasising that she was with him while she was just a regular groupie. Having a real singer (Asap) portraying Jimmy being in love with Lana was her ultimate fantasy. Life immitates art.

Thank you. I just saw the other post on the cover album topic. I replied there.

Why Summer Wine ? Did I miss something ? It's being released with the cover album ?

How amazing would that be. She has no tour planned, and livestreams are out of the table now, so we really need some recorded performances. Anyway the backup singers need to replace the dancers for future tours, we just need them They can dance if they want to. Just do it, don't wait

Let Me Love You Like A Woman being the first single of the album while being the least popular original song from it I personally like it much more in the context of the album than I did as a single but it's still one of my least favorite. Poor thing How popular was it with the general public compared to other songs like Hope that were singles without any proper promotion ?

This is such a dream ! I can so imagine a music video like that with the song Now, how can we be satisfied with the final music video if we actually get one ? Some of her homemade videos are part of her most iconic ones (Video Games, Hope, Arcadia,...) but I think this song deserves something different.

It's so funny because I was thinking yesterday or something that pitchfork would change their review of Born to Die if they could, and here we are. My mind ! Didn't think it would actually happen because I've never seen anyone change past reviews. I think that it's a good thing that they acknowledged their errors even though what they wrote felt more like justification than anything else.

I heard phallic labay or something. Didn't know what labay could be And the way she smiles while saying it in the video felt like a confirmation to me But I was wrong This came in mind when reading that

Nice theory. I'de love if it was consistent with VBBOTG. The song title remind me of Honeymoon's bridge : There are violets in your eyes There are guns that blaze around you There are roses in between my thighs And a fire that surrounds you And here again violets could mean toxic as everything associated with the guy is pretty toxic

The sun is the source isn't it ? Neither of them is reliable. These are trash magazines that turn speculations into informations. They probably used the similarity noticed by fans to simulate a revived feud.

I so agree. Though I love how this topic highlights the genius of Lana for choosing iconic song titles.
