Hey y’all haven’t really been in the post thread much cuz I been going through it. The album is beautiful tho! Strange how lanas music always makes me feel such a spiritual connection to something, like we are on the same emotional frequency. She said something in her live about channeling through her music that really struck a chord with me the other day. This felt like sweet sweet revenge and I ate it all up. Definitely one of her most experimental in all aspects. So many references within herself yet such a crisp matured sound with lyrics that have that same bite that we’ve all been wanting yet over some of the most intimate instrumentals.
intricacy can definitely be found in the mellowness of the record, def not simple. Lana is in her element. Her most raw work imo def a grower in general but I see something so so special in this album. The tears were streaming yall

shut up rat

The Post gave Blue Banisters a 4.5/5 
That will be a 90/100 if Metacritic includes the score on the site.

If You Lie Doen With Me....a career highlight wbk. 

i wish blue banisters was a person so i could keep them safe and hold them and love them and nourish them hazily 

"And what I never said, why there's a price on my head
It's nothing to do with them, it's my karmic lineage
So I'm not friends with my mother, but I still love my dad
Untraditional lover, can you handle that?"
 
 
ICONIC INCREDIBLE AMAZING PROFILIC LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i still havent done a proper write up about this album yet, but i did have some quick thpughts so far on violets for roses. i do think it's about both a man and the public trying to change her, but one line that stood out for me was the "you tried to trade in my new truck for horses" which made me think of the chemtrails photoshoot. remember she posted that picture of herself on top of her truck but the only official picture we got of her in that outfit was the one with the horse. it made me wonder if maybe it was her managers who were trying to change her? maybe she wanted that as the album cover and they were like "no lets do it with horses, its classier" or something and maybe the official album cover was her rebelling like "whatever i'm not using that one either." but then that could just be a coincidence with the truck and horses.

Black Bathing Suit outro is for sure one of her best 

I was really looking forward to a tour this era as well  I was already planning on traveling to other states just in case she didn't come to mine. Then yesterday I remembered this interview once where she said something like "The first thing I need is to be happy, which can be difficult when you tour for seven months out of the year." and I started crying  I think a common pattern we've been seeing with Lana is that she just wants to make music and be at peace with herself. She no longer cares about promos, rankings, and selling out shows. I'm not sure if we'll ever get another huge tour again, especially if it takes a toll on her mental health. But I think small, intimate shows in her hometown every now and then would suit her (something like what she did with Nikki), and I hope we're lucky enough to at least get that someday

The trap in Trio is a reference to L4L.  Where she was. 

This is so hard. I love them both so much for different reasons.

Living Legend vs The Greatest

Yes - she's leaving the past, and going to the frontier (just like in old Westerns)

Random, unhinged, long musings about Cherry Blossom that I may or may not delete...

same I have hyper empathy so this post made me cry too

Beautiful is soooooooo 😭😭😭😭😭
I'm SOBBING

Holy shit. This. 

this album is timeless

I've gone back and forth on if the "lie la lie"s in IYLDWM are a reference to Simon & Garfunkel "The Boxer." I always think of it. I can't see a thematic connection between the songs, but it's such a well-known chorus, I'm sure she would've had it in mind.

I wonder if Lana knows how much praise Dealer is getting on TikTok with it going viral…maybe she’ll notice & it will inspire an album of tracks with a similar vibe
