[Surf Noir 190,682]

honestly i feel like "text book" flows very nicely after "for free", i definitely agree that this album could fit with cotcc thematically/sonically very nicely

Either 12PM EST or 3PM PST, if I had to guess

If the album is going to be her best yet, can she at least change the name of the album? 
 

It could have been Wildflower Wildfire, Living Legend, Arcadia but she chose Blue balls. Okay

Blue Banisters is a better album title than all of those. Lmao. Wildflower Wildfire would be a cute one, though.

arcadia would've been a gorgeous album title but judging by the lyrics it'll be the cherry/tulsa hoe bop of the album

[CinnamonGay 10,513]

Who said that the closer opener is a punch to punch and closer is beautiful?

 

Lfl or boz?

@lustforlife how do you fell about the songs sequence, like, are the transitions good/do they sound good this way?

have been stalking this thread on my phone daily, but cant remember my password so i cant login there. however, this recent news is so promising im so excited shes feeding us!!! literally yesterday i was telling my sibling about how fitting I thought Living Legend could be on this album, and then the very next day I hear its confirmed to be on it! Living Legend is in my top 3 of Lana's unreleased songs and it's one of my favorite songs she's ever done, and I really REALLY hope she plans on leaving in that vocal guitar effect at the end because its gorgeous, beautiful, and just stunningly wild and her putting it on the record would really say a lot about how little she cares about pleasing people. Also excited for the rework of Thunder, which is another favorite of mine, but after hearing that piano intro edit that plastiscguy did, I am even moreee excited. I was honestly starting to get really bored of the era for quite a bit, but since Arcadia is coming out so soon, and it sounds even more gorgeous than some of even my favorite Lana songs, I couldn't be more thrilled. Kinda secretly hoping that there's a slight rework in Cherry Blossom and/or Nectar, but even if not, I'm still beyond excited for Blue Banisters to sit somewhere in the top 4 or 3 of Lana's album discography!

Cherry Blossom gives me air vibes tbh

Spoiler

i think text book is a really nice opener to the album, it’s like you’re opening up and reading her TEXT BOOK and getting an insight of her personal life... if that makes any sense

Please put details about the song/album in spoilers <3

"Rock Candy Sweet" would've been a solid album name. I feel like it was a missed opportunity.

it's a very cute album title but i don't think it really fits the vibe of the album, this album seems to be about telling her story in a cathartic & emotive way, i feel like "blue banisters" and the significance of that symbol in the title track work very well, and the album title has grown on me

She did justice... its a pretty cohesive album... Also i think the "second part" of the album will be more a fan favorite for so many reasons

I agree with that, so far the album doesn't give off those vibes. But as for a name, it's a pretty solid one methinks.

Sad that we missed out on LYTAN, but really won when she scrapped I Can Fly. I would have been so annoyed if a soundtrack song made the record  blessing in disguise.

[menslayer 18,263]

Missed all the meltdowns because I had a busy day today but all I have to say is that this will probably be one of my favorite albums

And also Dealer, OH MY GOD
