1. Queen of Disaster (get your TikTok coin, queen)

2. Fine China

3. Get Drunk

4. Disco 

5. Heavy Hitter

6. I Talk To Jesus

12. Last Girl On Earth

13. On Our Way

14. Your Girl 

15. Trash Magic 

16. Out With A Bang 

what it's like having so much taste?

Also, I completely agree with queen of disaster - and jealous girl, and meet me in the pale moonlight, etc. she needs to be profiting off those hype trains

Not in order:

1. Break My Fall

2. Hawaiian Tropic

3. Say Yes To Heaven

4. Your Girl (!!!)

5. Wayamaya

6. Daytona Meth (a finished, polished version, specifically)

7. Is It Wrong?

8. Trash Magic

9. Velvet Crowbar 

10. You Can Be the Boss

11. Serene Queen

12. French Restaurant

13. Greenwich (again, finished and polished)

14. Meet Me In The Pale Moonlight

15. Hit and Run

16. I Don't Wanna Go/Tonight

Colour Blue/Wild One and Thunder would, at one point, have been very high on this list, but we're getting both of them 

In an absolutely ideal world, I'd like to see all of them released - with the exception of a very small few, I adore all of her unreleased songs. Songs like Daytona Meth and Greenwich, I would kill to hear finished versions of. I know there's a handful of variations of Daytona Meth under different names, but that's the one I like the most.

I'm also very bitter that Say Yes To Heaven is not on BB. I just get the sense that it would vibe fantastically with the rest of that album.

If we get a music video for text book id like to see a blonde Lana twoards the end

Which would also tease the AKA re tease with her wearing the same black and yellow jacket

I think it's likely, if not probable, that she's re-worked the previously-unreleased songs to an extent - at least to update the vocals. Didn't Thunder and Cherry Blossom leak in like 2019?

Also good morning girls, hope we're all feeling young, dope, and wild this Friday 

what if - hear me out here - what if on and on is bbs 

ok here’s another hot take: I think blue banisters is my least favorite of the four tracks we have so far. that’s not to say it’s not a beautiful track, cuz it is, but it just pales in comparison to the other three for me. should we rank the tracks we have? have we done that already?

well we’re in the drought, I think. I’ll just be crying to wfwf and pretending yes to heaven and your girl are on the album until oct 22, if anyone wants to join me 

Arcadia - Olive green

Blue Banisters - navy blue

Text Book - baby blue

Wildflower Wildfire - the eighth color of the rainbow that cannot be perceived by human eyes

Dealer - Red and black

Thunder - A muted bluish-purple, like dusk in the summer. I get very specific vibes from that one.

Nectar of the Gods - Dark gray, pale purple

Cherry Blossom - pale pink, bright yellow-white 

Living Legend - I actually never heard the leak for this, so I'm going to wait for the album

Nothing to contribute, just wanna say I am totes on board with this and it's a great idea

rehash but i literally cannot get over how good godflower godfire is
BURNS, BURNS, BUUUUUUUUUURNS

I never see anybody in this thread doing the unreleased one, so here's my unreleased top 25:

And my top 25:

what can I say, I'm basic as eff

Well well well... after lurking on LB for over 2 years I've finally decided to create an account lmao 
I guess I've kinda been a part of this community for quite some time now already... but now I FINALLY get to be a part of the discussions (and the meltdowns)!!!

Anyways, I'm as excited for BB as y'all are - and I'm SO glad Text Book is the opener since it's really become one of my favorite Lana songs over the past few months 

Welcome to the circus! Glad you decided to join us.

I think my apathy towards COCC has more to do with the production than the lyricism or anything else - I genuinely believe some of Lana's most profound and beautiful lyricism has come from that record. When I imagine COCC with UV, HM, or even NFR-style production I tremble. It's Antonoff's production that turned me off. 

Idk. I might get dragged for this, but COCC is definitely my least favorite album of hers. It just doesn't have the same replay value for me as her other albums.  That's not to say it's not a beautiful or cohesive record, because it absolutely is. It's just...not my cup of tea, I guess. It's the only album of Lana's that I don't have the lyrics memorized to, which is saying something.

LFL definitely had consistency issues, in my eyes, but the individual tracks were solid and it's a beautiful record. I definitely wouldn't call it "lazy".

To me, UV, HM, & NFR are the highlights of her career. I'm a big fan of all her work (I still absolutely adore BTD/Paradise), but those are her most fundamental records to me.

lana has done quite a few covers of classics before (blue velvet, the other woman, the end of the world, summer wine, etc.), so i feel like this album was only a matter of time. i feel like she might mix some of those older-type classic songs with some more 90s/80s tunes too (maybe blondie or madonna). i definitely see at least one or two old country/folksy songs too. ugh i would love to do a sultry, slow cover of 'doll parts' by hole but idk if that's really direction she's going for

^^^ I would kill to hear Lana cover Doll Parts. 
 

Would also love to hear her do something from the Cranberries - “Zombie” is definitely a tad overdone, but god she could make it sound so haunting. Also think she’d do “Linger” or “No Need To Argue” beautifully. 
 

Also “Something in the Way” or “Dumb” by Nirvana. Or “Sex & Candy” by Marcy Playground. Or “Glory Box” by Portishead. 
 

I just really want Lana to do a 90s cover album. 

I'm pretty sure this has been said multiple times already, but I wonder if Black Bathing Suits is going to be a TIWMUG-style reflection on her wild teen years. I still see it being an edgier/darker song that's trap-influenced, since it follows the interlude, but I wonder if it'll also be somber and kind of sad in the way TIWMUG is. I've always connected to that song so hard and would love a continuation of those themes

y'all....wat if the interlude is the only song on the album that has trap/trip-hop influences and black bathing suits immediately goes back to piano ballads  

I would b devastated, but also that'd be fucking hilarious 

y’all she’s deactivating all her socials  sound the alarm we have a code red

personally I would like bbs to be a mpg/fmwuttt-esque sultry banger. but i'm a uv stan and am constantly chasing the glory days

no but fr, i am SO EXCITED that thunder and colour blue/nectar of the gods are going to be on the album. I adore them both and have wanted them officially released for SO LONG 

ok but u know what I’m really hyped for now? Black Bathing Suit. It’s explicit and it’s RIGHT AFTER the interlude? Shit is gonna SLAP 

Holy fuck I’m scalped. Her Reputation era is HEREEEEEEE
