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

[Poor Stacy 11,995]

I think Blue Banisters would have been a much better choice to perform than Arcadia.

But I suppose Arcadia is more indicative of the album's "Take it or leave it" style and attitude, so...

The only reason I could see NME giving this a lower rating than Chemtrails is that there was no major music video attached to it. Because this album is by and large a more completed, thought out and better record

It cleary because of the unreleseads

You know, Lana - I really appreciate you continuing making your music the way you do & Not giving a shit about air play or reviews. One of the only artists I truly love every song of. “Though Guns & Roses was a grower “

Thank You!

AIGHT i just gave blue banisters my first LISTEN and i have to say that… 

 its what i expected it to be, ballads are sooo beautiful, but i honestly wish that she didnt change thunder THAT much. replacing a guitar with a piano wasnt a bad decision, it just feels less powerful now but it’s optimistic so im here for it. 

my favs are definitely: 

-black bathing suit!!!!!, dealer!!!!!, thunder, living legend, if you lie down with me. those got my heart and can’t wait to listen to them while driving alone around my city in the night. LOVEEE ITTTT

but like...NO one outside of Lana's core base knows about this? How would anyone listening to this record for the first time put that together 

on both NME and the guardian review it's mentioned... did the press get an advance copy with a note about the outtakes from her or something lol? or were they on lanaboards/lana wiki, that's a kii

[ChaoticLipster 24,017]

The guardian at this point are giving Lana a 3 every time because they know we will get angry and march over there.  Whatever you do don’t click on there site or give them attention 

[lustforlife 19,008]

Now the question: If the songs never leaked would the fans and the publications having this conversation about old songs? 

[StillOnMyMind 2,058]

I just noticed NME rated Solar Bomb with 100. That album is better than Blue Banisters in any part of Uranus and perhaps in Andromeda. 
 

Critics are a mess.

[Yosemite 23,762]

sksks not NME giving it an 80/100 

Also, these reviews naming NOTG, LL and CB as tracks that shouldn't have been included.... that's true tho

[IanadeIrey 61,296]

Critics can be very pretentious. The critiques made in the Guardian review are — I don’t want to say baseless — but the way they go about framing their points is really too much. Even in “positive” reviews, there are a lot of backhanded compliments. It’s as if they feel the need to justify their paying Lana a compliment.

lanaboards should start it's own music publication  it's the only way it'll be fair

 

We should also include a dedicated delulu section   <333

well that's very immature & highly unprofessional

 

either review the album the way you're supposed to, or don't review the album at all

You can't be serious...

 

 

Oh you're serious... 

[Brooklynbaby 2,716]

Personally so far I think this album is beautiful and maybe her most honest and real one. For. Me I think this may be up there with UV and NFR in my top 3 (so far I’m only half way through lol)

Definitely no. I didn’t see this harassment when TNBAR, Bartender or Yosemite made their respective albums. 

[DCooper 34,924]

This album is going to be so misunderstood omg 

[lustforlife 19,008]

I wish NFR never existed sometimes... It creates a high pier that she will never top and critics gonna remember this on every review

yes, at least the fans would still be aware that they are outtakes and once we heard them we would know how lyrically subpar they are

i mean "spin me around like a ballerina?" lizzy grant is shaking.

her songwriting is miles (kane) better nowadays, the stream of consciousness, the revelations and the tongue-in-cheek lines that throw you off-balance ('fuck you kevin') are much better than i get wild on you baby i get wild and fucking crazy

[#vapeinfluencer 4,747]

oh and when it comes to comparing blue banisters to other albums i have to say that.. 

1. norman fucking rockwell! = ultraviolence 

2. chemtrails over the country club 

3. blue banisters 

4. honeymoon = aka 

5. lust for life 

6. paradise 

7. born to die
