So what i’m understanding is I CANNOT go to Target Friday to pick up my BB vinyl until the week later…

I believe that is the case

Ok so if you lie down with me is just a "nice" version of cola, actually inspired by barrie too.

 

Lol i knew lana was going to shade his gf in some way,putting this on her album is that.Rihanna "cake" move.

 

So does that mean barrie is the blue banisters guy after all

I feel like everyone’s  view of album couldn’t be more different like some people saying BBS chaotic hot mess and some said amazing radio single and some saying deep and poetic like what is happening. Is it ballad or Selena Gomez song.truly unsure.This is first time I’ve gone into a Lana album release without having any idea of what vibe she’s putting out. I’m loving reading everyone's spoilers without having listened but I’m so lost.  Is it folky ballads or chaotic radio hits help me. All I know is I’m excited because it sounds iconic and deep and special. Im almost more excited for my tenth listen then my first.

Black Bathing Suit is all 3 of those things tbh  It is such an incredible song, I think it's my favourite off the album. The kind of genius that won't make sense to everyone at first but once it clicks it's mindblowingly good.

it's hard to describe in its entirety. 

 

there are some folk undertones however the sound is totally unique. there are psychedelic rock influences, classical, blues, jazz, and some folky rock. you can't really stick a single genre on blue banisters as the only way to accurately describe it is Lana Del rey.

Yeah, it amazes me how WILD was the choice of using such LQ files to put in the CD. At least we have the original leaks, which are basically the same AND in either lossless (NOTG, CB) or 320 (LL). Very, very strange move from her team.

Or... was it her saying "you've had these all this time anyways, little fuckers, so here you go. Here, stream the files in even worse quality than the ones you actually managed to get"?  

 

It's truly her revenge era

I think the leaker got these from youtube cause one file contained a diffeent cherry blossom with a different cover as if it was added separately as another file…maybe the album version is more polished and better who knows

The problem is: every insider already said that she used lq versions. The spec test only confirmed it. You know, it's strange but it's true darling

Within the album I would say it’s very close to Text Book but a lot crazier.

 

There are crow sounds and creepy piano in the beginning and the verses have this very gothic ballad-esque allure… then the tempo changes as the chorus kicks in and the arrangement reminds me of Dark But Just a Game as it’s a nice jazzy beat but then the tempo changes again into the post chorus which is just a very dark, surreal, cacophonous moment with a lot of heavy drums and screaming back up vocals. The outro is very very intense. Nothing like you’ve ever heard from her.

The outro in IYLDWM was the reason for my breakdown omg

best song in this record
