Blue Banisters - Pre-Pre-Release Thread

that’s it i’m writing hate mail to lawna, ben, jack and nikki (especially nikki) 

[StillOnMyMind 2,059]

I know we all want new music and her communication tools are a mess. But have you forgotten that she released an album like 4 months ago? It’s not like 6 years have passed.

I know, I just can’t really think of a better term. I’m not saying it’s like full on emotional abuse that’s why I said borderline.

 

I had an ex who would do something similar, would arrange a date to go out and meet and not show, no texts nothing. Then days later would arrange another date.  It’s not quite as deep as this, but the feeling is similar. It plays around with your emotions, when you love someone and something makes you excited..to play around with that and not give a fuck is abusive. 

 

This is nothing like that. Remember-- covid still exists. Things may be delayed at any point for anything. Pay attention to release dates for everything- movies, video games, books, music. Everything has been delayed by over a year. COCC was delayed by 6 months. 
 

I'm sorry that happened to you, and yes that person was abusive, but a date ditching you is something personal, whereas a release date being stretched due to a worldwide pandemic that might be out of her control (and since that could've happened and did happen last year, she could've decided to keep working on it). She's only getting a pass from me because of covid. But otherwise, either way, these two situations are completely different. This is more like when a pizza should take 8 minutes to bake, but ends up needing 2 minutes extra or 4 minutes extra. It's not going to inconvenience YOU by any way not to have an album you know nothing about yet out as quickly as YOU want. Imagine that pizza. Would you starve having to wait 2-4 extra minutes? No. The delay only truly inconveniences Lana and Interscope, which may be the point (if she's not friendly with Interscope like we think but who knows), but not stans who just got an album less than 4 months ago and a poetry book not even a year ago with an audiobook.

Agreed except for the emotional abuse part. You're too sensitive or obsessive if you think that Lana not giving shit about her fans is emotional abuse. 

 

Her behavior is unprofessional and disrespectful, she should post a quick story saying "7 days left ?" she doesn't even need to reveal anything about the concept but rather make it a surprise. If the album would not be released then she should just say "Sorry I'm not finished but stay tuned". She reminds me of that passive one sided friend we all have or had. 

If she's making music for herself like some stans like to make excuses for her passive behavior then she shouldn't profit from it, sell albums and merch. 

 

Yeahhhh except it costs money to make music. Time is money. She has to rent studios, spend time with producers which isn't free, and at the end of the day she runs a business. Yes, it's unprofessional, but what can we do? We still stan and buy vinyls and will continue to do so because the music tends to be high quality no matter what anyone says. She still outperforms anyone else in today's generation, both in the studio, lyricism, and live shows.

Can we stop claiming emotional abuse over a singer not putting out music? I'm sorry, but this has already happened and you'd think that by now people would realize that that's not what this is at all, nor is it even worth claiming. We've literally gotten an entire album + three singles this year with the possibility of another album, that's a lot more than most singers do in a year alone. I get that the release date confusion can be irritating and disappointing, but my god  

 

Anyways! 9 days until the 4th, which if we do get the album (although I don't think it's likely at all), we should rename it from Independence Day to *whatever the name of the album is* Day

[mlittle11 12,214]

lana is being unprofessional but that doesnt mean anything or say anything about her relationship with fans. shes an artist. she’s probably taking her time to release everything n make it perfect in her eyes. it could still be coming july 4th considering the singles were a surprise and she still has yet to even acknowledge them. all this mess says about lana is that she’s unprofessional when it comes to release dates and promo. its not that deep.

oh we’re doing this again

 

History repeats itself. Lanaboards will always relive the same phases in the prerelease:

- An outburst of delulu-energy when a pixel on her website moves or an insider tweets something

- Which is then followed by silence for several hours until someone posts "This thread tanked"

- Wild speculations, which are the most fun parts together with the delulu-phase

- Sweet and creative cover arts

- Occasional stan fights

- Occasional scat porn attacks

- Occasional Jack, Nikki and / or Mike hate

- "Lana got lazy", "Lana has to go back to her old sound", "Lana is unprofessional", "Lana hates us", "Lana won't be relevant in a few years"

- Gif wars, usually started by legendary icons @Diamantes WILD or @Surf Noir

 

It's like a fever dream that never stops until she finally drops the record and we have peace for a day or so

Also the possibility of another poetry book with an audiobook, a covers album shes had in the works for a while, and other projects. She's a busy woman! We should let her work at whatever pace she wants, honestly. I'll be disappointed as much as the next stan but honestly.... i'm down for it to be delayed a couple months so i'll have more money to buy vinyl variants sksksk

[Hundred Dollar Bill 21,803]

Lana isn’t personally texting me updates on the album guys.. she’s emotionally abusing me.

I really hope she sticks to the date like it feels like she could top Norman with this album and it's so iconic

Not my point, just that she can easily tell us what’s going on it isn’t difficult. Other artists don’t do this sort of thing.  I appreciate all she’s done and all she’s doing, just better communication would be appreciated it costs her absolutely nothing. With COCC fans had to corner her at her poetry signing to find out what’s going on..it’s bonkers.

Ok you get the emotional abuse comment out your system, I’m fine with everyone having a laugh if it makes them feel better.

[Furor Poeticus 16,320]

Happy 1100 pages 

Will we make it to 2000 before who knows what the release date is?

 

[Evergreen 8,345]

Imagine using something inappropriate as "emotional abuse". If you have that unhealthy feelings and excessive expectations for your favorite artist, then unstan them and go touch some grass. Lana really spoiled some of you by putting out so much music over the last 10 years. 

[clementines 9,889]

i hope she renamed the album to something that has to do with thunder it’s so good especially with the idea of revenge

That's what you assume. I'm pretty sure that she has her personal reasons for staying quiet. She wants her music to be consumed this way, she fears another backlash or whatever. I think you are taking this way too personal and honestly it sounds unhealthy.

Umm can we stop with the wOrdWiDe PanDeMic excuses? Not anything personal to you btw. Dates for music festivals are announced, tour dates are announced, concert dates are announced. people are buying tickets set for a certain date, everything music and crowd related is being booked at a certain date. It's not spring nor 2020 anymore, stop blaming the pandemic on someone's delay. It's over. She looks like she started working on this album in May. Other artists released great albums during the pandemic without visible issues, vinyl presses were delayed and that's completely understandable but in Lana's case I highly doubt the pandemic was in her way for this album. 

 

Also I can't belive the money excuse. Lana is a multi millionaire signed to a huge record label. She's not Lizzy Grant, Sparkle Jumprope Queen, May Jailer nor some struggling indie girl with 1000$ in her pocket and with her guy friends who are wannabe rockers for the instrumental. In my opinion she does not outperform in everything you mentioned, sorry.
