I think all the songs will be ballads apart from Thunder and Dealer, personally I’m bored stiff of piano ballads from her…this seems like an unpopular opinion here as most seem to really love the ballads.  Arcadia is very beautiful but it isn’t particularly interesting production wise.  Maybe an unpopular opinion again but I really wish she’d inject some trap into her albums again and songs with more fiery energy. 

Arcadia is my least favorite song out of the three singles + Dealer + Thunder but to call it not particularly interesting production wise is… strange to say the least. The last time we were offered this richness in orchestration was back in Lust For Life.

Apparently Thunder is stripped back alot, but the others are the same

Who said that? I think the only thing we know about Thunder is that this version probably has a piano intro.

These two together are fucking deranged. Serve after serve.

isn't not crediting miles like.. illegal.. nikki wasn't in the title of BUS but her writing credit was on there, so maybe he's not on the song after all.

He's credited as a writer.

There are definitely new synths on WW, and the vocal production is warmer, and the 8-bitty drums at the end are slightly lower in the mix. Crazy how the smallest production changes can let a song shine more. Love

Omg I wanna listen to that as well!

To think we started this era completely in the dark, with the picsart selfies as the only aesthetic reference for an album which direction we had no idea of...

To this moment, with a clear and exciting vision mirrored not only by the several album covers to the already released songs...

I love Chemtrails but this era puts that one to shame.

So are we expecting BBS to be a bop or another piano masterpiece?

It was co-written by Zach Dawes so he probably co-produced it as well and judging by the looks of everything he's touched (California, Thunder, Dealer, etc) I think it's gonna be a rock infused moment.

literally WHO ELSE has the range to go from a song like Arcadia to a song like The Trio  QUICKLY 

No one but Tailor Thrift and Borde will attempt! 

Remember when @lustforlife said Black Bathing Suit is (and I quote) "an invite"?

I just listened to Text Book, Blue Bannisters, and Wildflower Wildfire and wow they make so much more sense with all the context we've gained since the spring...she's such visionary 

 

My best friend is a moderate fan of Lana (not hardcore like I am - but her favorite Lana album is Honeymoon!) and even she said Lana's in a completely different level than anyone working in the music industry right now. Watch the girlies adopt the rock-ish sonority in a couple years.

I confess I'm a little worried on whether the Interlude fits the general mood of the album. Having that fire ass trap beat in the midst of emotional ballads and soft rock songs might throw some people off. I need to know how Black Bathing Suit sounds like... like what even can follow that?

I can't believe she did a trap interlude right after that. WHAT THE FUCK.

TRAP?! A TRAP INTERLUDE?!

lustforlife said there are more rock inspired moments on the album... which songs do we think are gonna fit that mold? I'm claiming Beautiful!

I'm counting the minutes.

In the meantime, Dealer's ou heavy rotation. This era's Cherry/TJF!

poor Clayton knows he's an interlude. bless.

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

I wonder if they’re still together or not. I’d say no which means he’s an attention seeker through and through.

I’m gonna take a guess and say The Trio is dedicated to the relationship between her, Chuck and Charlie. They grew up together through all the mess and the emotional abuse and forged a bond that is so clearly important to her. That’s why it was placed in the beginning of the album!

@lustforlife are there any more rock songs like Dealer and Thunder?

I’m in shock.

You guys.

What an era. I’m so happy to be sharing this with you all.

Fuck. The alt covers. The tracklist. She’s coming for AOTY. What a time to be a Lana stan omg.

I’d say there’s not much to rework in Living Legend and Thunder has simple lyricism by her standards but it’s its stark simplicity that is so astounding. 

Nectar of The Gods however needs a massive rework imo.

So everything lustforlife said was trolling? And everybody knew this but me?

I wouldn’t know how cruel the world was… 

Not Lana making a grunge-y album.

I’m not ok. She did good going away from Jack for this one. It’s crystal clear she didn’t want the music for this project to be controlled/muted. 

Just now, lustforlife said:

Ummmmmm i think...Brooklyn Baby? But more grunge? Less awake 

Fuck.

Jesus.

Thank you for that reply.

AOTY confirmed.
