Or perhaps you need to see it for what it is. A thoughtful album about healing and reclaiming herself and her peace of mind after being put through the ringer countless times  

It’s both. I agree, but the BB criticism isn’t just for nothing, we’re dealing with facts today, as many other users here have pointed out so eloquently already. 

If she’s in a creative and writing block she should do what she did on BB and just dust off her unreleased songs. Except this time polish them too and pick out better ones which we know factually that she has plenty of.

Next Case. 

Even tho BB was a sharp dip in production, creativity and quality, y’all need to see it for what it is. A throwaway project that she didn’t have a clear direction for but rather served as a outlet for her country bumpkin phase. The real Rock Candy Sweet aka LDR9 is still coming. We should be hopeful since she’s working with Jon Batiste and still has her “bombastic” Jack-NFR outtakes. We shouldn’t really use BB as a reason for our worries. 
 

I just dislike the 180° switch she made from a glam innovative sex goddess to a country bumpkin soccer mom

I don’t even want old Lana. That would be a disservice to her growth.

 

I think jazz, psychedelic rock, trip-hop in a Portishead kinda way, among others genres, would suit her so well. She’s got the writing for it, she’s got the creative vision for it. 

 

Never thought of her at a position where her surroundings would be a possible cause for creative bankruptcy but you’re probably onto something here. Either way, I don’t think she’s leaving LA ever again…

Listening to AKA rn, that album has more interesting production than her last 3 albums (iktr including NFR)

Now why would you tell the truth like this

Did I miss something? 

No, we’re just grieving the OG Lana that gave us excellence after excellence, used guitars and drums in her songs, didn’t mind experimenting and making outside of the box music, didn’t rely on Jack aka her yes-man/lowkey handler and knew how to reinvent herself.

aka not jack, not her cali bimbo friends and not her jobless family either 

 

 makes me think about the only interview she gave this year regarding her new album in which she said she basically has 0 idea where she’s going with it, has absolutely 0 inspiration and needs to be dragged into a studio to come up with something… like idk bout y’all but that sounds highly alarming to me 

 

I say it once again she needs a complete life change, move back to New York/London, ditch jack, meet new and exciting people and get out of this boring country grandma bubble she’s stuck in for years now 

The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the TRUTH

most of this forum is random gays

All* but i was referring to people putting that one particular user’s opinion on a pedestal just cause he’s an “insider” 

Petition to replace Jack with Dan as Lana’s right hand producer NOW

the way he keeps recycling the same stuff is baffling

the way certain people keep eating it up is the part that baffles me more

Either way the song is boring and i’m tired of hearing the same Christmas jingles that jack-Anton-off has been using since How to Disappear

Why should we rely on a music opinion of some random gay

exactly my thought, at this point i dont even care if she goes rock or alternative or anything, just make everything trippy the fuck out, i need another acid record from lana Del Rey.

for example: imagine her doing trippy-jazz

Dealer gave us a taste of trippy-jazz, idk why she insists on using soft instrumentals when she sounds so good on top of a drum, beat, guitar, etc. Her experimental music has way more soul than whatever jack Anton off can provide (except for NFR! he ate that) 

I want Ms. Lana to experiment with different styles and genres again, please make a true rock album or something in the taste of Ray of Light… something trippy idk  just no folk or piano anymore pls 

I just hope the new album will have the “bombastic” Jack songs, what are the chances of this actually happening according to y’all? Please be as delusional as possible i wanna get my hopes up.

Bruh. If she’s a nurse she’s obviously more likely to get exposed to COVID. 

You would think with 4 doses and immunity that it would be harder to get tho… plus she wears a mask so apparently the masks ain’t worth sh*t either 

I never got vaxxed and only had covid once. Meanwhile, my bestie who’s a nurse had all the shots including the boosters and has had covid 4 times so far. I know people in my family who have developed muscle disease and skin disorders after taking that poison.
 

But i guess it all worked out for the powers that be now they’re billions of dollars richer and more powerful. Stay woke. 
 

I dislike how Lana basically turns into a ghost during the making of her albums. You’re an artist and singer full-time not just when it comes to the actual announcement of release date so put your ass to work and give us something, ma’am 

Update

I like Blue Banisters but the tracklisting makes it seem way worse than it is. She needed to spread out the slow piano songs and scatter the faster songs like BBS, IYLDWM, Dealer among them to break up the monotone sound… ideally cut out some of the old leaks too and keep the original Thunder 

Blue Banisters is the only Lana album I avoid with the exception of a few songs like WW, LL, Text Book, BBS… the others are just so lifeless and boring. Out of all the unreleased gems she has stored like Hollywood, Fine China, Wild One, Yes to Heaven etc she dusted off the most simple and uninspired songs to fill in the album.
