 Yes! Someone seriously needs to ask Ben (or Ed) about this when things have quietened down

If she does put Thunder and Cherry Blossom on there, I'm half hoping she'll put them as bonus tracks. If this is still her revenge album, they wouldn't fit in and I'd love an album of angry Lana with the three singles to kind of introduce it

 

 

I don't get the vibe this is going to be a fiery/angry revenge type rhetoric. Honestly I think her revenge will be singing about the things she wants to sing about that people originally shit on her for. That and also not feeding into the media machine that scrutinized her. That said she kind of does feed into it with some of her antics and posts but I think she will make it a point to blatantly disregard them with the album rollout. I.e. interviews and things of that nature. We will see though! I was hyped for a fiery revenge mood when she first said that and I still wouldn't be opposed to some tracks covering that but I think she has shifted directions or never meant it in a more literal sense.

Wasn't Loved You Then and Now removed? Agree with the rest of it though

I think Thunder would fit in well on a revenge-themed album (revenge for Lana being, explaining herself) as the song is all about getting your emotions out before they do some serious damage

I love Cherry Blossom but I think 1 unreleased in the album is enough for me (unless she heavily reworked the songs or we get like 16 tracks) but at the end of the day is not her fault the songs leaked so... I respect her decision.

Or maybe we are getting the unreleased collection too 

Cherry Blossom is good track to close the album (everything is better than awful cover like For Free) but Thunder... It would be nice but for 25 track unreleased album.

True, the revenge bit might be the songs she scrapped, and now she's going for more personal and introspective songs if the three singles are on there

 

Hoping the original concept is released at some point though

I'd rather her keep BB as the title and break her cycle then her retitle it lol!

Agreed! When Boz mentioned that almost all was scrapped that left me with a pang of wonder for what was! It is hard bc she is so prolific. Like I know we all want to hear everything but there is just so much and of course she cannot release it all lol. Maybe one day!

Yes, the album cover is non negotiable lol! I can forgive a title change but to share this cover and not use it, no mam.

[Alison by Slowdive 26,143]

I love the album title 'Blue Banisters' now that the album cover helps with the overall concept

 

But imagine if she changed the title to 'Sierra Madre' alluding to how she's her own mother now and is immoveable (like said by Yosemite) 

 

Spoiler

but it's also what she compared her literal "chest" to so

 

[Furor Poeticus 16,330]

We'll get a 4th single and that likely won't be the last one we'll hear so this album had better have like 14 ≥ tracks

Old Hollywood Blue Banisters vibes 

On the Avenue (1937)

Bombshell (1933)

[Whitemustang 462]

I’m confident this album will be amazing. Chemtrails was her least good in my opinion because it just felt like Norman leftovers (some songs were great though). 
 

So far this new project feels so much stronger musically and lyrically. Also that new snippet sounds so beautiful. Can’t wait to hear more!
