Blue Banisters - Pre-Pre-Release Thread

Recommended Posts

I'm so eager to spend my money now. When will be the pre-order? Is there a link yet? And she still posted nothing about the singles she's just dropped so far ??

I think the selfies for the other singles you mentioned were a different case, though, because they weren’t edited to look this extreme (for example, some users have pointed out that there appears to be bruises edited onto her on only 2 out of the 3 single covers, and in those songs, she mentions her relationship with her parents).

 

 Maybe in the past, the use of a selfie was just out of convenience but given the lyrical density of the songs we heard, I personally think that the selfie has some sort of significance.
 

If she does come out and say there was no reason to use it, then I’d give you that   :hide: but I’m not so sure - maybe when the album comes out we’ll know! 

I mean it could be that it has some significance (as you say, the bruises). I'm sure she had reasons for picking all of the selphies she's picked as covers but I was just saying that I don't think she picked it to take the piss out of people who think her artwork is bad.

I still think it's a lazy option for a cover, but eh. It's about the music.

 


ur legit gonna look the same stop buying oil of Olay face cream

very unpopular opinion but i really couldn't care less about the album cover if the music's good :xgiggle: personally i don't think it's a great cover... but if that's the album cover i'll accept it, it could be worse... which i know is saying a lot because it's a picsart edit :whatever2:

ditto on if the music's good, but for me, the style has to look like there's been some kind of masterful effort to it. I know a lot of people hated the cocc album cover, but it was still balanced and im sure it holds a lot of meaning. I remember the DT cover as well as even the more "crafty" parts of the NFR cover, in relation to her overly saturated edits, and i can understand what it might bring but it just looked so terribly flat. 

the border focus wasn't necessary imo.

The day Spotify allows you to change album artwork, which is soon - it's over for album covers in general I hope y'all know that

sure

 the cover art is just lazy and shitty

I don’t know if you can call the cover art lazy. Showing up at the set of a photoshoot, pose and let others create the outcome sounds more lazy than her creating the idea she has in mind herself. Exactly the way she visualizes the atmosphere she’d like to see. 
 

It might seem lazy, I agree, but it is part of her brand. Creating her own visuals.

The Chemtrails cover has definitely grown on me, especially seeing it in vinyl at the stores! It looks very dark and I can say that I enjoy it. With that being said, I don’t believe this cover will grow on me for shit. I feel that these are definitely the single covers though.

You can call the cover(s) bad, but you can't call them lazy. These are deliberate, and you don't have to like them (and lots of people don't), but I think she's definitely proving something by generating the comments she is. She's just released the three most personal songs of her career, after a decade of being accused of being a persona, a fake, an industry plant, someone whose career was bought by her father, inauthentic, etc etc. The decaying photographs, in series, work like a Warhol sequence, which are also 'basic' and 'fake', but in a deliberate way.

the difference in this is that the artist knew when to stop embellishing.

Let's be real, there are much worse covers out there on albums that have sold millions of copies. Get the fuck over it. You don't have to like it, no one is forcing you to. Example:

eclipse and boz keep saying “trust the process” so i’m hoping this obsession of her using the same car selfie will make sense to us soon and hopefully we’ll get a decent cover in the end


When did they say to trust the process? Before or after the singles dropped

 

i trust the process but I wish we had a little more clarification,

Damn I actually kind of loved this cover. The album, not so much.

It's so stupid and ridiculous, way worse than a selfie
