I feel like the only song that’s clearly in need of a re-recording is living legend

 

the others, while it would be nice to be updated as her voice definitely sounds a little different today, I think are high quality enough to be released 

I feel like Wild on You/Nectar of the Gods needs an update as well. I forgot about Thunder. Yeah, that one is good as it is.

Things I would change:

Nectar - a new vocal take and better chorus lyrics

Thunder - add piano like @plastiscguy's version and rework the lyrics

CB - a new vocal take

LL - new vocal take, new production, new instrumentals, some small lyrical changes

Dealer - Boom Like That sample

Eh ya agreed, but my problems with that song are kinda more that it’s just boring so I would want more than just a re-recording of it done  

 

the “I get wild and fucking crazy like the color blue” is VERY 2013-15 lana 

[Sportscruiser 11,893]

I wouldn’t change a thing about Thunder, actually. It’s absolute perfection. I remember reading something about the introduction of piano at the beginning of this reworked version… did I imagine that?

[tulsa jesus freaks 9,370]

there's something nostalgic about lana's messy rollouts, tbh lfl was so messy but so fun, nfr too

Ok I thought that I was the only one who finds this track boring and annoying as hell 

This is shaping up to be another Lust for Life. Some of her best (Thunder, Cherry Blossom, Blue Banisters, Text Book) with some of her worst (Living Legend, Nectar of the Gods, some random interlude no one will care about)

But is it all piano? I’m sorry but I missed the memo on that one.

[Vanilla Icy 29,598]

not living legend and nectar being called some of her worst 

they way she'll end up reworking some of these and people will treat it like they did TNBAR, maybe it's best she does nothing with them..

oh no i dont think they meant/said the full song was piano. just the intro.

Living Legend is the one that needs to be reworked the most. Her voice is very different now and much richer as well. Nectar of the Gods too but it doesn't need that much reworking assuming she keeps it as an acoustic track. Cherry Blossom and Dealer can have this raw/unfinished demo-esque feeling because it seems to enhance the lyrics and overall mood. Thunder sounds great although I assume it'll be cleaner on the album. I mean, these are all demos. I expect them to sound much better on the album even if she decides to keep them as they are.

 

Anyway, it's so funny how much boz overreacted when he said that he's not a fan of the album because of the outtakes she decided to put on the album. I mean, he made it seem like she chose some unlistenable and borderline awful tracks when these actually turned out to be...Nectar of the Gods, Living Legend and Dealer.

It’s a cute unreleased but ya, I doubt I’ll listen to it much once it’s on an album

 

It should have been wild one

well i think we can all come to the conclusion that since Boz's display name is named after Britney's album Blackout, we can assume his taste in music is very much bland and basic
