Being somewhat realistic and based off the last 2 albums - Let the Light In, Grandfather, Text Book
Dealer and Black Bathing Suit undertones would also be swell

Blue Banisters, Cinnamon Girl, Honeymoon 
 
I love the full, warm, ambient sound of Blue Banisters. The layered synths can elevate songs to much more than a simple piano ballad. Mix that with the sensual drums of Cinnamon and the slow, drawn out melody of Honeymoon, and you’ve got my dream Lana sound. 

yeah i agree but let's be real here we're never going to get the "only ballads" album, she always does something different even if the majority of the songs are piano ballads. that i think we shouldn't be worried about

Get Free, Let The Light In, & Fuck It, I love You

Venice Bitch, A&W, Kintsugi
 
these 3 come to mind now but there is an endless number of combinations that would be amazing 

Media has obviously become aware of this now, too.

I really hope there will be more articles like this in the future, also on other artists, as I hope it might cause some controversy so artists don't dare to release too many variants and especially don't copy Taylor's release tactics of 48 hours availability. 
 

tbh chemtrails is the new underrated one. and i truly believe she'll become a fan favourite just like honeymoon. then we'll have a new underrated record and the cycle will continue forever...

i'm happy for her getting to own her masters this way like seriously power to her but most artists don't own their work either and even if hardcore swifties boycott the original versions of the albums, lots of people will still buy & stream them and taylor already has so much money its not hurting her. but i mean i still buy all her rerecordings bc i want to support her and i like getting to hear vault tracks. but overall i still think it was unnecessary to rerecord all the albums and part of me feels like it was kind of greedy and like she's taking advantage of her fans

this is why no matter how much effort taylor puts into them, the rerecordings will never be as good as the originals. you can't recapture lightning in a bottle.

i don't think thw people saying they like everything lana puts out are implying that you have to like wverything she releases or that its bad to have any criticisms of her work. some of us just genuinely are happy with whatever she releases bc we're so emotionally invested in her work and we like a large variety of musical styles so we're not easily disappointed in her output. we all still have preferences and sometimes songs need time to grow on us. we don't think we're better fans for being happy with whatever she releases. we're just sharing that we're always happy to get new music from her. like its not that serious.

if lana is pushed out of her comfort zone, i hope its her pushing herself. i don't like the idea of producers pushing artists and forcing them to abandon thwir artistic vision in favour of something the producer thinks is better or edgier or more groundbreaking. i don't want some self-important guy's vision of lana's art, i want lana's vision of her own art brought to life by any producer willing to respect that vision. if she chooses to experiment and try something new on her own, i'm here for it and if she wants to generally keep to where she's comfortable and just try new things within that comfort zone, i know i'm still gonna love it.

But is "stealing" the right word when that was the contract she signed and Scooter Braun had all of the legal rights to buy them?  It's not just a Taylor thing, most artists don't own their masters unfortunately. That's just how the music industry works.
 
Like wow, this poor billionaire… having to share a fraction of earnings with a music industry guy. Trust she doesn't need anyones' extra money, but she knows her fans and she knows what she wants: $$$…… further evidenced by this whole CD/vinyl debacle within these last few pages.

i was excpeting rep to have a major overhaul to the [stale] production, but with that lwymmd clip, its not any better. oh well 

ive been the most excited for debut TV

And that's one of the reasons why I for the most part, don't enjoy these re-recordings or think they were really necessary at all. 

As soon as I saw that video of Lana in the studio with Jack at the piano I knew it would cause a nuclear meltdown on LB 
 
I don't have a specific vision for what I want from Lana's next album, to be honest. I know a lot of people hold up UV and HM as standards but I think it's a mistake for any artist to try to recapture magic in a bottle. I'm betting if she tried to do a UV or HM redux it would sound tired and people here would be unhappy. I'm interested in what direction she's going to go next. She seems a little surprised by all of the love she's been getting on this festival tour, and it seems she is maybe a little surprised by the positive reception OB got. I'm curious to see how that will affect the kind of work she's doing - if it will affect the work at all.
 
Drew Erickson and Zach Dawes are great and I do hope she continues to work with them. I've loved the work they've done with Angel Olsen, Weyes Blood, etc., and I think they've been great for Lana. Of course I love her work with Jack and I really think she has unlocked new levels and depths to her songwriting with him so I'm happy their creative spark hasn't died yet. 
 
I'm cautiously optimistic about Jon Batiste - the interlude and Candy Necklace are great, but I found Life Lessons to be one of the weakest songs she's been a part of in a while. It ended up going on his record, not hers, and a part of me thinks maybe she knows it's not really up to par with the rest of OB. 
 
I'd love for Rick Nowels to work with her again if she feels he's creatively still up to snuff with her present vision.

Black Bathing Suit, West Coast, Kill Kill
 
hawaiian experimental trippy chaotic rock masterpiece
