    Oooh spill

    She's pissed off about the rumor that she blew up on a Target employee about BB CDs being put out early. Says it's obviously not true and defamation is wrong.

    I just wanted to say this, and I have nowhere else to say it:

     

    For me, Lana's music - especially Born to Die, Ultraviolence, and Honeymoon - is so nostalgic, and so evocative of my teenage years. It triggers those memories and those sensations for me in a way that nothing else does. I first discovered Lana in 2011, with the Video Games MV; I was 13 years old. I'm 23 years old now. I literally grew up with Lana and her music. 

     

    I remember riding in my best friend's car when I sixteen years old, screaming the lyrics to Born to Die and Off to the Races, not really understanding what they meant back then, but, simultaneously, understanding exactly what they meant. I remember being sprawled out on my bed, drunk, listening to West Coast, feeling every inch of it in the marrow of my bones. I remember Honeymoon, and Art Deco, and The Blackest Day, and all of the things those songs made me feel.

     

    Lana was an integral part of my childhood. An integral part of my formative years. And Blue Banisters feels like the ultimate cumulation of that; it feels, in a way, like we've grown and matured together. Here I am, ten years later, an adult who's seen so much and been so through so much in the last ten years. And I just feel like Blue Banisters reflects those feelings, and that maturation, so well.

     

    I don't know. I'm drunk, and I'm probably being over-sentimental. But I can already tell that this album is going to be significant, and sentimental, to me.

    This album really cements Lana’s legacy as a prolific artist. 
     

    I can’t even imagine where she’ll go next. Everything she does is just so fascinating. 

    I had this exact thought earlier today. I was in the car listening to IYLDWM. I used to think NFR was her magnum opus, the peak of her artistic prowess, but I stand corrected. It's this.

    Alright, I'm still withholding impressions until post-release, but here's my album ranking:

    Spoiler

    1. Ultraviolence

    2. Honeymoon

    3. Blue Banisters

    4. Born To Die/Paradise

    5. Norman Fucking Rockwell!

    6. Lust For Life

    7. Chemtrails Over The Country Club

     

    I say this every album cycle, but I doubt anything will ever unseat Ultraviolence for me; it is my absolute, of-all-time, favorite album. I will say that Blue Banisters and Honeymoon are very, very nearly a tie, but the cohesiveness of Honeymoon as a record just slightly edges BB out. I'm usually pretty deadset about my album rankings, so for me, BB making it this high in the ranking is significant. The fact that it unseats BTD/Paradise is already a big deal to me, because I'm super attached to that record. This album legitimately floored me.

    It’s interesting that people are interpreting the trio as people who are working together in partnership, but in the movie they’re actually racing and dueling against each other… I interpreted her use of the song as her in a stand-off with the media, but then idk who the third entity could be (if “trio” is supposed to be taken literally)

    Love that interpretation. Lana, Lizzy, and the media, maybe? Lana's public persona, who she really is, and the media who attacks both?

    i love this album so much, especially bbs and iyldwm, true highlights of the album :heart: i'm trying my best to stop myself from listening to it too much so i don't overplay it and then get bored of the album, but it's so difficult not to listen to the songs :defeated:

    and btw, i see quite a few of you don't really like the tracklist, personally i have never even thought that the tracks seemed a bit misplaced :w8ing:

     

    Spoiler

    Agree on BBS and IYLDWM being album highlights, they’re definitely in my top three. I never had much of an issue with the track list either, although I do feel like the interlude is a little out of place.

    I’m saving my overall impressions for the post-release thread, but I have to share in everyone else’s enthusiasm about the horns at the end of IYLDWM. Fuck, they are GORGEOUS. They give me such strong Honeymoon vibes, so nostalgic and powerful. I was not at all expecting this song to be one of my favorites, but I’ve replayed it probably twenty times just for the horns. Truly one of the highlights of the album.

    WHAT THE FUCK im so excited!!!!! didn't expect this today GOOD GOD. 

    I really really really really (really) want a track by track review. ANYONE UP FOR TO TASK ?
     

    Also, if UV is my fav album, will I be in love with this one? THE HYPE IS FUCKING REAL YALL 

    resident UV slut here. I don't know if you'll necessarily be IN LOVE with it - it's not a direct continuation of UV by any means. But to me, it's closer soundwise to UV than the last few albums have been. Particularly Dealer, BBS, IYLDWM
