Blue Banisters - Pre-Pre-Release Thread

[Dark Angel 202,218]

i find it a little disappointing that they didn't change anything about cherry blossom bc i feel like it's still very incomplete, it's a simple vocal take  

[CinnamonGay 10,527]

I hate it .

 

Bye.

 

Thunder was GOLD.

 

I cant rock to it anymore. 

 

[urgirl 5,747]

are Lana and Jane powers still good friends?

[LifeOnMars 7,911]

I feel like someone heard the fake piano Thunder version. Did any insider actually say it was stripped back?

Disappointing tbh. I always though Nectar would sound amazing with some real drums and Barrie's harmony on the chorus. 

Very mad I don’t want the same songs….

"Some small clarifications:
• Violets for Roses is not “Roses Bloom for You”, it’s a new song.
• Cherry Blossom and Nectar of the Gods are the same as the leaked versions.
• Thunder has been stripped back rather than more added to it.
• Living Legend still has the ending “guitar vocals.” The song is changed a bit.
• Sweet Carolina is not a cover, Rob & Chuck co-wrote it.
• Text Book is the longest song at 5:04.
• The leaked version of Dealer is the same as the album version.
• There is one more cover of the album, it’s of Lana sitting in a John Deere tractor like she sings in Blue Banisters (title track.)
• If You Lie Down With Me is an older song meant for Ultraviolence. (This is the only one I’m not *entirely* sure about.)"

the version of dealer we have is real? with the 

Spoiler

random synths that start somewhere in the middle?

Same here. It does actually sound pretty decent after Living Legend (at least on the version of it I had), but I do think it would've been nice to have that song be reworked

45 minutes, it's almost here

They're usually right. I think they're also friends with Honeymouns, so

I have no problem with Nectar Of The Gods staying the same, it's very  simple but still so beautiful..one of my faves 

Thunder..well we have the demo anyways & I don't wanna judge the new version before I heard it

I can imagine some beautiful strings on there, like maybe some Japanese inspired instruments given the title. Also maybe a sweet xylophone to make it sound more like a lullaby

No, that was done on purpose by the person who leaked it

@lustforlife

I believe him, he was right about the Blue Banisters tracklist when everybody (including Eclipse) was mocking lustforlife's information.

no, Boz already said that the random synths are only the leaked version. 

[CinnamonGay 10,527]

BOZ said the random noise at the end wasn’t part of the final version. 

 

[Jeanne Dielman 5,982]

Stripped back doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be an acoustic version or something. The leaked version is a bit too celebratory and happy sonically so I could see her toning it down and focusing on the electric guitars. It'll make the transition between Dealer and WFWF better if that's the case. 

 

I wonder if the reason why both CB and NOTG haven't been reworked ties with the narrative. Perhaps Sweet Carolina will give us the answer.
