IF YES IM GOING TO FAINT 

Hello everyone. I've been lurking on these boards for far too long but I finally decided to sign up after the recent news about the release of Arcadia! 
 
I haven't been this excited for a Lana record in a long time actually. There's something deeply moving and profound about the lyrics of the three singles she released in May. This could be her most sophisticated and contemplative work to date. But I also admire the subtle development of her sound as well. This is very nuanced work and at first one might assume that this is the continuation of the NFR/COCC sound - although I think that NFR is quite different to COCC anyway - but I don't think this is the case at all: Blue Banisters with its dreamy ambient soundscape and its otherworldly outro; Wildflower Wildfire with its distorted and intentionally artificial drum sounds; Text Book with its subtle gospel and jazz influences. 
 
I've been trying to keep up with all the information we've received. A 15-track album will be absolutely wonderful. I remember the insider mentioning that she chose some unfinished/rough demos over some of his favourite unreleased tracks which were originally chosen (Fine China for example), so I think that 2 of the 5 outtakes must be completely new to us (I suppose one of them will be Dealer after all). So I think that Dealer, the Barrie song - I'm not entirely sure this is an Ultraviolence outtake because the insider implied that Barrie and Lana had a session earlier this year; they might have reworked something they wrote together years ago, but it could be something new; this sort of makes sense with the narrative of Lana making peace and revisiting her past with this record - and potentially a third outtake could be completely new to us. For some bizarre reason I feel that the third "known" song, besides Cherry Blossom and Thunder, will be Color Blue/Wild on You/Nectar of the Gods. 
 
I'm excited about the other album that will be released after Blue Banisters (or simultaneously! lol, you never know with Lana). Given the fact that she's been reworking several unreleased tracks and almost included several of them on Blue Banisters, I guess she might have decided to include those that fit the narrative of Blue Banisters better and has put the rest of them on the album with the unreleased tracks collection. Or it could be AKA after all. But I wouldn't be shocked if Lana has already started working on her ninth album (with Mike Dean) and she releases that one next Spring/early summer. It could be anything at this point. She's incredibly prolific. 
 
Anyway, these are my two cents. I'm very excited for this era. The Arcadia snippet is heavenly and the music video seems to blend sexiness with melancholia in a very unique way that immediately brought to my mind her early work and DIY MVs (which are trademark Lana basically). Perhaps it all comes full circle. 
 
 

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.

I just know this is gonna be my favorite Lana album. I absolutely love the three singles + Thunder and I'm 100% sure I'll be replaying Arcadia for the 1000th time by next friday. As a big fan of piano, slow stripped back with classical influences music and COCC/Honeymoon obsessive lover,  I'm can't be more certain about how much this gonna be THE album. 

of course there'll be piano
but the real question is
 
ELECTRIC GUITAR?????
 

yeah most of polish fans still think UV was Lana’s peak… and I can kinda understand this point of view but preferring sucker charli over pc music charli is where I draw the line

MOOD RING IS SO CUTE !!!!

Why did she chose SP over this for the lead single will always be a fucking mystery to me lol!

Lana and Lorde make similar music but they really can't be compared. Lana's melodies are the strongest point of her music, whereas Lorde doesn't really focus on that aspect at all imo
 
edit: imo, people aren't listening to this album for the same reasons they'd listen to a Lana album. So you can say people are lying I guess but I really don't think they are. This is a step away from what Lorde is known for, PH & Melodrama were SO relatable for people of that age and the production accompanied those albums perfectly. Lana's album simply just wouldn't sound anything like this.

It feels like this album will be very divisive with her fans…

I truly hope so even tho i kinda enjoyed SP, i ADORE Stoned, and Mood is also very strong for my taste personally. Love the Jewel/Natasha Bedingfield vibes.

I think it is the same as with Billie. They left the best singles for couple of days before the album launch to create more buzz and promote the record better.
