Blue Banisters - Pre-Release Thread: OUT October 22nd, 2021

[Fingertips 72,034]

I know we've had Nectar of the Gods for years, but it really is such an incredible song and it sounds remastered to me. So much more crisp and beautiful.

 

"What cruel world is this, nectar of the gods / Heroin gold in my veins, and you in my thoughts" is one of her strongest lyrics ever.

I truly DO NOT understand why they couldn't re-record the vocals for Thunder, or at least try to isolate them more instead of using the same take with the drums playing in the background for the first verse/chorus  it's so distracting

Ok as with every Lana album, I caved and listened to the leak even though I said I wouldn’t.

 

It’s gorgeous. Every song is beautiful, zero filler. It is a cohesive body of work. It is better than any other album that any other popular artist has released this year, likely better than any album that is going to be released. It is going to be a grand slam with the critics. I love all of Lana’s albums, but there have only been three times in Lana’s career that gave me this feeling like she just released something monumental and important. The second time was when NFR dropped, the first time was when Video Games was released ten years ago, and the third time is today. I give this album 9.5/10 because there are a few moments when I would have made minor tweaks to the instrumentals or mastering, a few spots when I feel like the songs are starting to blur together, and a few lyrics that strike me as cliche. Overall, it’s a spectacular masterpiece album. Sweet Carolina is just beyond. Like she delivered this beautiful album, and then at the last moment she outdoes herself. She deserves all the acclaim and awards that are about to come to her.

 

My general impressions about the album

There's one that's 3:35(36) and another that's 3:53(54).

I don't think there's a 4:55 bc that's over a minute of a difference lmao

Explained above tho, but yes, 3:35(36) might be the "official" and the 3:53(54) is either fake (w added stuff) or idk what happened lmao

I have a feeling from what y’all are saying is the cd version isn’t the version coming on iTunes in a week. Or y’all got two different leaks. Either way this is inspiring me even more to hold out till release day for perfect HQ flow . Dying to hear BBS tho. 

 

[American Whore 51,314]

so do we consider The Trio the cover of the album?
