I sometimes think it would be helpful if we had two threads for the new album - one being a facts thread and one being a speculation and wishes thread. It's really hard to keep up, like, for example, suddenly there are 20 posts about greatest hits, so I read 2 pages of posts back to see what it is about (just to find out it was an idea). The answer to the question about why this thread is hot (Henry is coming) was a joke I guess? 😅 Nice, but without a smiley hard to get without checking the last posts of 2 pages to see if there is indeed anything about it. 
 
To sum it up:
Thing is you always see it's hot, you get excited, you even see posts talking about "news" which are actually either speculations, wishes or jokes, but you need to read between 2 to 20 pages to find out. It's disappointing (because it wasn't a fact) and it's getting tiring. Maybe two threads could be a solution? 😊

Blue Banisters is a quality record.
 
Some people want to act superior and like the album is above their taste level of not "Lana's best" or whatever, but the gripes I've seen people hold about it are petty. It's her most direct, transparent, blunt record to date (before DYK).
 
The album quite literally spells out Lana's heartache. It tells a full story, maybe parts of that are distorted, but nonetheless, you feel Lana's pain, agony and remorse.
 
She can't make a bad album!
 
I feel similarly about Chemtrails. Clearly, Lana is over LA but more than that, she's over the game (that's dark) and just wants to be loved (like a woman). But seriously, reflecting on life before fame, her spirituality, her sins, her detachment from her ego/persona/celebrity. It's such a rich album. 
 
She's a genius.

Just this stupidity

In honour of the birthday of L4L, here is one of the best videos related to the record.
 

TOUGH IS PLAYING ON MTV HITS CHANNEL I'M HAVING GOOSEBUMPS I LOVE SEEING LANA ON TV

(Spoiler above complaining about lazy magazines)
On the plus side, this is awesome news, and shows just how powerful Lana is as a world wide artist.

I've heard him interviewed, and he's really on top of the history side of things - remembering facts, details, specifics. All the things that Lana is completely useless with. And he seems to really remember his time working with Lana very fondly, so there's no reason for him not to go into detail. However, it will have to be someone from here, because in the context of his career, Lana is one of the more niche artists he's worked with, and Tropico is definitely the most obscure part of their collaboration, not helped by the fact that 'Tropico' is also the name of a different, well known and official (movie) release.

I guess anybody can vote for whoever they want, but just a reminder of how the last go around with Trump started and ended. This time will be a lot worse, because he knows the stakes are even higher.
 
I know there are plenty of accelerationists on the left as well, but they're not the friends of anyone who is a minority, a woman, or basically any category that is not a Christian nationalist.

Pink Champagne does not suit COTCC at all, Let Me Love You suits COTCC perfectly. PC is Ultraviolence all over, it wouldn't have suited the folksy soundscape of COTCC
 
Although while I love PC more, I still love the warmth of LMLYLAW.
 
I consider PC and LMLYLAW two different songs because the difference is like 180 degrees.
 
And people like to blame Jack for the change while I totally feel it was Lana behind the change because well...it was so Lana, the way she promoted that song as putting it as the lead single with a performance at Jimmy Fallon's show.

LMLYLAW final > Pink Champagne

there has been a noticeable shift in the amount of petty arguments and personal attacks on users, spam posts & trolling recently and it’s made the site unenjoyable for some and difficult to moderate at times. we just want a fun atmosphere with *sensible* disagreement if there is any 

Radio 1 in the UK have started playing Tough a little more regularly (or at all?), which is kinda big for the song! Playing at 8:50am on the biggest radio show!

Hi all,
I wanted to check in with you all about the recent rise in drama that the mod team and I have noticed over the past couple of weeks. It appears that drama on the site among members is at a peak, so I wanted to pop in and remind you all that LanaBoards won't tolerate certain types of behaviour.
It seems that the drama is especially high in other artists' threads and in world news threads, especially when it comes to hot-topic debates. While LanaBoards welcomes opinions and discussions of different viewpoints, it is important that these opinions are shared and discussed in a respectful manner. As stated in our rules, LanaBoards will not tolerate any posts that are meant to be purposely inflammatory (flaimbaiting to intentionally start an argument) rude, hateful, insulting, or otherwise crossing a line, and members violating this rule will be warned and given restrictions at our discretion. This is something the moderator team is going to be taking very seriously as it is our mission to have LanaBoards be a safe and welcoming space for all.
Something we've especially been noticing a rise in is personal attacks towards other members and people including other artists, which is something we won't tolerate. Let this serve as a reminder that behind the usernames and profile pictures, we are all real people with real feelings. There's no need to make things personal. Please be mindful and respectful of this when communicating with other members. Again, we do welcome varying opinions and healthy, constructive debates, but please keep these respectful. Think before you press reply.
Something else to keep in mind is that not all intense debates need to be made public, especially if they're veering off-topic of the thread. We encourage users to make use of our personal messaging system to have private discussions, but again, please keep these respectful.
We understand that news is slow at the moment on the Lana front so tensions are a little high, but please don't let this translate into disrespect towards others. 
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns - you all should feel comfortable to reach out to me or another staff member at any time about anything. We are here to help and keep this place safe and enjoyable at the end of the day.
I hope to see things become more peaceful. I'm sending you all lots of love and I hope you all enjoy your weekend x
Let's work it out on the remix~

To be clear, I'm also obsessed with this project/era, but I'm also quite sure the last person we'll get any concrete info from about it is Lana.

I highly doubt that she even remembers it 😭

I'm definitely sure that Rick Nowels would remember every detail about this, idk he remembers a lot of studio stuff, the way how he has described his studio work with Lana and others on social media
