this time around i mostly care because of her stolen laptop and her specifically asking her fans not to listen to anything if it does leak ...she was extremely upset about it so if the album leaks early i'm sure many of us would feel really bad for her

yeah tbh @Kintsugi spilling the beans was a blessing and a curse
blessing because we have more info and more context but a curse because we don't really have that much else to talk about and it increases the chances of more info being spilled essentially spoiling the record and possibly even leading it to leak early

well i mean if someone like @Kintsugi had the album and we have basically no idea who they are, along with snippets from the album leaking before we even knew it existed, it's gonna happen

I wouldn’t be surprised, unfortunately.
 
I wonder how her team would respond if it happens—rush the release before it spreads further since it’s that early? Or follow through with March 10th as planned?

i think we're gonna have the album by the beginning of february sadly

At this rate by Wednesday we’ll have the full tracklist, scheduled radio shows, photoshoot themes and locations, and a response from Aha-Music requesting the tracklist 

Lana's silence on the album is... discouraging. 

exactly and like, even if Interscope does want to wait to release until physicals are ready, I would’ve rather waited until February for the announcement 💀 Lana isn’t doing any crazy promo, everyone knows who she is, most of the fans who are going to buy the album already have at this point or are planning to buy in person on release day. even though 3 months from announcement to album is sooo standard it just feels unnecessary for lana at this point in her career. if not a digital drop, it would’ve been great for her to announce like album just 4 weeks before its release date like she did with NFR

right
 
we complain so much but like god we are the luckiest fan base  
 
That’s why I kind of hope insider descriptions remain at a minimum from now on so we aren’t spoiled on exciting changes or sounds. 
 
as much as I want snippets I feel like I’ll try to hold off from hearing them just to keep the first listen that much more exciting because it’s literally been since like 2017 since we had an album with this many tracks that we hadn’t heard anything of before  

The way I still expect BB 2.0 even after all that we know 
Like I can't imagine Lana doing anything that different even if they told us it is indeed different and more diverse and I believe them (and I'm a BB stan by the way, I'm not hating on my baby).
 
For some reason my mind can't comprehend it  so I need a new single to really change my mentality 

BoZ only said there's a story behind this song that he can spill in 2025, otherwise nothing positive or negative.

kintsugi will be cuntsugi

girl.. lemme take my record player on the bus with me

Honeymoon remains not only the best but also the MOST mixed and mastered album of her entire career. 7 and a half years later and I still discover a little flute here and there or a hidden sax behind so many layers but still very much palpable. I really love Jack as a producer for Lana and Clairo specifically but Honeymoon is on a totally different level for me. It sounds expensive.

Blue Banisters is one of those albums that I enjoy relaxing at home with or getting work done with. It's her most gentle and soothing album, so it really helps me be productive. I personally think the album has some of her best lyricism to date (yes, some of her worst as well)
 
You can't be a muse and be happy too, you can't blacken the pages with Russian poetry and be happy
 
What I can promise is I'll lie down
Like a bed of wildflowers
And I'll always make the sheets
Smell like gardenias wild at your feet
And I nourish you hazily
 
My father never stepped in
When his wife would rage at me
So I ended up awkward but sweet
Later than hospitals and still on my feet
Comfortably numb but with lithium came poetry
 
 
California, homeland of the Gods
Once I found my way but now I am lost
 
 
Plenty of more examples, but it's a very comforting record for me, I love the lyricism on most of the tracks, and it's easy to wind down and let its melodies carry you away.

i just can’t harbor hate in my heart for a man who made these
 
 
 
 

I’d also argue that it’s possible they purposely quietened every instrument on Blue Banisters, so as to emphasize Lana’s voice. She did say it was a record for the critics, so I wouldn’t be surprised if she really wanted to make sure that the delivery of her words wouldn’t be detracted from by the production — even if the result wasn’t a favourite among select fans. 

Imagine Lana was telling Jack to stop stripping it back but the Wi-Fi was cutting out so he didn’t hear the ‘stop’ part and stripped it back a little bit more instead.. yep that’s what happened I’ve decided. 

I'm also hoping that we receive a transition as beautiful as the one between Freak and Art Deco on Honeymoon. The mixing on that album was just so ahead of its time. 
 

The Jack hate is the result of fans wanting to blame someone for Lana’s shift toward more lyrically ambitious and less reverb heavy/dream-pop music.
 
But the truth is Jack is a great producer, especially with Lana. His production can become redundant at times but not so much with Lana.
 
Drew on the other hand… something stinks! No but seriously I think their collaboration was the result of Jack having a crazy schedule and Lana needing to find someone quickly. I didn’t like his production on BB and whoever does the mixing for their tracks…
No the WORST PART is the delivery of the Beautiful lines… she was at her lowest.
