She will paint anyone’s banisters blue if you find her ice cream truck !!

Yes pleaseeee, I am so excited for BTIG!!!!!!

Aw thanks!! I have dreaded many a phone call & I love my fellow lipsters

Correct! Consideration closes August 31st annually, I believe

are you in the US? if you want to, dm me & I will call your record store tomorrow for you and message you back anxiety blows. I had major phone anxiety and got over it a few years ago!

this made me even more excited to listen tomorrow, thank you

I love this so much, oh my goodness. I actually feel grateful she’s using Honeymoon only because she feels more open and willing to express what’s on her mind and heart. (& even if I’m not able to follow it you angels help me to see it )

After reading this first review, I’m starting to believe my own prediction more. I would love to be wrong and see Pitchfork come out of the woodwork w/ an 8+ We will see…

UMMMM… this might be my favorite video of hers?! it’s so peaceful yet moody, elated yet somber. I love it. I love the cake and the painting and the stormy Midwestern vibes of the weather spinner… and you guys were SPOT ON with the foggy atmosphere pics????? I’m so happy she released this today, it seems like it really sets the mood from the album and I can’t wait to hear it for the first time

Thank you!! This explains why we’re always so confused lmao. I had no idea! Sucks for the US actually…

baaaah I’m sorry to be a bubble buster!!! I wanted to know ASAP if I could stream it sooner RIP

Isn’t it 36 hours? Midnight EST, worldwide? I would love if it is sooner!!!!

I think her albums always release worldwide at the same time - midnight EST

i love this and you’re so right about bb!

I hope you’re right!! I would LOVE to see BB get at least 8.0!

They did write articles on the releases, they don’t always do reviews—but surely they wouldn’t have missed reviewing a track they want to award BNT you know? Just my thoughts! PFK Arcadia article: https://pitchfork.com/news/lana-del-rey-details-new-album-blue-banisters-shares-video-new-song-arcadia-watch/ PFK tringles article: https://www.google.com/amp/s/pitchfork.com/news/lana-del-rey-releases-3-new-songs-listen/amp/

I scoured Pitchfork and they did have COCC on a most anticipated list then ended up giving it a 7.5 (same as Honeymoon, which had no Best New Track awards either). I think they usually pick one album to feature in their post to check out these anticipated album lists, so it’s not *too* special. However, I do have a feeling, as a frequent Pitchfork reader and critic for a small music outlet myself, that BB will get just a slightly higher rating. I think it’s promising that they recently chose to rescore BTD from a 5.5 to 7.8. The thing that makes me believe it will not get Best New Music is because I believe nearly always at least one single from a Best New Album gets awarded Best New Track prior to release. None of the tringles or Arcadia got BNT. When we consider that “Love” got BNT but LFL got a 7.7, that leaves me more concerned that BB, with no BNTs, will be scored lower than LFL — UNLESS they award BNT to a different track on Friday/release day. So on these context clues alone, my guess is they’re going to give BB *gulps* a 7.6 (one point above COCC)… but I have not heard the album so I will update this post once I’ve heard it and can make a more educated guess. side note - Pitchfork has a habit of awarding close follow-ups within one point of each other. Example: folklore = 8 but evermore = 7.9… so under this theory a 7.6 for BB would fit their usual rubric for whatever reason…

did she really post all this on honeymoon? I’m one of the lame lipsters who’s never had the chance to follow

Thank you!!!!! I still believe it will be one of my favorites and this made me more excited

Guys can someone please tell me if Thunder still has any indie rock vibes or were the drums and guitars removed and replaced with only…

SaMe!!!! It feels like we’re about to walk into a wild Lana musical potluck lmao

She steps up to the mic, we hold our breath… “Sylvia…”

I want the GP to experience more upbeat/rock Lana that’s not BTD - obviously Arcadia would be beautiful but I also hope she chooses to perform something different as a bold comeback (aka a comeback where she never left lmao don’t even listen to me) I have not heard the album but I think she should choose Thunder I am biased

Ooooh good point. I thought so!
