Look at the time it shows in your country. If it says 22th October then it's midnight NZ, if it says 24th or something like that it's a global release.

Any remake is likely to take away production and just redo the vocals, Lana is becoming more minimal so I doubt she’d add anything to the songs more simplify them.

Hasn’t it been confirmed that more was added to Thunder though? Don’t see why she couldn’t have done the same for the other songs.

thunder is more stripped down in the beginning. it starts with just piano and vocals really and as the song goes on it builds up and there are guitars and other instruments that are similar to the version we've already heard.

I’m not sure if that was true or not

it is. it has more piano, more bass, the guitars are less of a focal point and there’s more buildup which makes the song sound more complete/finished. apparently a highlight of the album so they say.

hold on the signed bundles are still available on the universal music site? 

Seems like they are. I'd get one if the vinyl colour variants were prettier smh

Or if it was just one CD with a signed booklet.

I know a lot of people on here are kind of anti caring about Lana and the Grammys and other awards, so if that's you then you can just ignore this. I'm one of the people that still cares and holds on to hope that Lana will be a Grammy winner someday. Anyway, I'm wondering if BB the album is going to be Grammy eligible. The eligibility requirement says that 75% of the playtime of an album has to be recorded in the last five years. I am pretty certain that 75% of these songs are new, but Nectar, Cherry Blossom and Living Legend are all definitely older songs. But are all the other songs definitely recent? And will that be enough to reach 75% of the playtime? Also, BB won't be eligible until the 2023 Grammys, but Chemtrails and the three singles will all be eligible for the upcoming 2022 Grammys. I'm wondering if Lana will submit Chemtrails songs or one of the three singles this year. I am afraid Lana's release schedule is hurting her Grammy odds. Chemtrails is now pretty old to get noticed for a Grammy this year, and BB will be over a year old by the 2023 Grammys.

I would like to see Lana win at least one Grammy, yes since she definitely deserves to be awarded for her excellence. But the Grammys suck in their nominations most of the time and recently almost always have given the awards to less (or just completely undeserving) songs/albums/artists

Chemtrails is eligible for 2022, but Blue Banisters would probably go to 2023 if it were to be nominated (and I don't think they're too concerned about songs or albums being a few months to a year old as much anymore, Lizzo's "Truth Hurts" was nominated quite a while after it was released). I do think it'd be nice to see Lana get recognition like that from the Academy, but it's not something I really expect after LFL and NFR lost their categories in 2018 and 2020.

I just created a poll about your prediction of your favorite track on Blue Banisters. I did this for Chemtrails and I really enjoyed seeing the results so feel free to answer if you feel like it

It comes out on my friend's birthday so we are having a pool party that night and listening

But I will not be swimming with Nikki Lame

[baddisease 17,937]

So does anyone know what Cherry Blossom sounds like?

Also is there a chance that the released Cherry Blossom will be totally new?
