Miss Doing Nothing

Yes!! Noticed this, too, it really adds to the song.
 
Such a great album, was hoping to love this project and it’s even better than I had hoped 

thank u bestie!  
and yeah, she looks beautiful. This era's visuals >>>>>>>>

Don't know if this was posted before but I did this cover with this pic, way superior to me than the one she went for.

And I LOVE the album!!! It's really good.

Agreed! I’m lucky in the way that I always love what Lana does and I can objectively say that her gift of writing shines through every song we’ve heard. I’m just here for the journey she’s been taking us on and I can’t wait to see where she goes <3

Aww that’s even more beautiful! Jack seems like the guy who you meet and feel comfortable with. Lana shared Hope with him. That song still scares me by how touching it is. I also think because the rollout of NFR! lasted a year we felt we no longer could get a connection to it, but it is still a very pretty album! I cried to every song when the album came out and I never had that at first listen with anything else, well, later when LiB leaked I cried. 
 
And I agree her writing was strong on NFR!, but I don’t feel she ever fails in her lyrics
 
I’m happy you’re spreading your thoughts for some of us to think about. I like NFR! And LfL and all the other albums too, for sure, but for different reasons. Some should stop hating on people who have different taste. Maybe I like strawberry more and you might like blueberry more. We all get our favorite flavor

Yes! She finished RCS and she thought: “well I did Paradise edition. I want to release it all at once. With. the addition.” The story was missing some more information and let the two albums talk to each other. She found a new way without a white dress to get it under control

Yes, I think Lana always is the most involved in her work (I don’t agree with the arguments I’ve read on here about Jack monopolizing the creative control over the last 2 albums) but I think he really did bring a lot of great writing out of her - as a producer/songwriting partner should! She said she wasn’t in the mood to write a new album after LFL but after she met Jack, an album was just spawned!

I could see her only wanting the music her way. Thanks to Jack we got a new album after LfL sooner than she had in mind. If I remember correctly in one of the interviews, about working with Jack.
 
 

I just wish he tried to get her to sing bridges for most of the songs. She is a genius at that, but oh well, he left the chat and Blue Banisters will probably have some of his production. For example RCS/LYTLYN. I don’t mind, it has been refreshing

Yes! She finished RCS and she thought: “well I did Paradise edition. I want to release it all at once. With. the addition.” The story was missing some more information and let the two albums talk to each other. She found a new way without a white dress to get it under control

I actually really like Jack Antonoff and from what I’ve seen of his interactions with other people and his interviews, etc. he’s a really nice guy and he really cares about music and what it stands for.
 
I will say, though, I do think that NFR really changed this trajectory he has been on since then; you could argue that a lot of the major albums that he has worked on since NFR’s release (excluding his own Bleachers projects) contain echoes of what people think “Lana Del Rey” has evolved to sound like. I think they’re all great albums but I do think that there seems to be a sort of continuity between a lot of his production on other people’s records lately - and that’s not necessarily a bad thing, it’s his signature style and his “tag” I guess.
 
But I am glad that Lana seems to be branching out a bit and is continuing to forge her own path. She is simultaneously an artist with a signature style and a musical chameleon. Whether or not you would care to admit it, she has an influence that I think a lot of people pretend isn’t there - but it’s there. Even if certain alternative artists don’t know it, their output is shaped and albeit, only possible because of her impact on the scene. 

I don't know what to think about Jack. He's a talented producer and I loved his work with Lana, but I'm pretty sure I've replayed Blue Banisters and Wildflower Wildfire twice as much as COCC and NFR! reunited. 
Plus, I don't know why all these girls want to work with him. As an artist, why would you want the same sound as other musicians?  Wouldn't you want to have your own sound? 
 
 
Opinion that no one asked for, but I remember someone saying they'd like the blue banisters to appear on the cover, and I couldn't help but think it would be really cool if they were green and grey. You'd expect them to be blue as the title suggests, but the cover would actually refer to the line in the song. I don't know, I thought it would be fun. 

I thoroughly enjoy the records we got from Jack/Lana (aka Jalana? LaJack? ) in the past several years.
 
However, I get this aura of Brooklyn Douchebag from Jack Antonoff and I ain’t here for it 

What Black Beauty thought the color of the Banisters needed to be painted
 
I didn’t notice until now, they also connect in some kind of theme besides sharing the same abbreviation. Brooklyn Baby’s picture book. 

and then she announces the album, 2 different versions with the tracklist flipped so they tell 2 different stories, Kendrick's DAMN/ATION style, RCS/BB

I just know Jack is passing around the same melodies to all them girlies. You can't trust a popular hoe.

PAINT MY FUCKING BANISTERS!!!
