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

[sansafuckingstark 1,118]

Does anyone think nobody might have the album as of right now this time around, despite what the insiders want to suggest? It seems suspicious to me that the only song that leaked is one that was intended for Chemtrails at first, which might explain why some people had access to it? Also, maybe some of the crumbs of information given to us like Eclipse saying a few of the unreleased songs haven’t been reworked are just educated guesses based on the length of the songs he could have had knowledge of.

 

Maybe there are some other proofs I’m forgetting but this era really seems more secretive for some reason and it’s keeping me on my toes!

@Terrence Loves Me Great post which basically proves that Text Book is a truly terrific opener. This album, as a body of work, has the makings of a masterpiece. I really hope it delivers.

 

I wonder if Lana will drag Patty to filth in a new track...

It's really interesting how her whole career before this album was based on "daddy issues" and whatnot, at least that's how she was always perceived by the critics due to the lyrics in her songs, yet in the opening track on this record she says "i guess you could call it text book, i was looking for the father i wanted back" - and then proceeds to change the narrative of her story by explaning her mother issues, her very real issues behind the aesthetically pleasing curtain, and then on the final track she sings with her father and is strong enough to confront the real cause of her pain throughout the years 

 

she's really changed the game

 

I've always tried to direct people to Old Money, because that was the first time I picked up on this aspect of her story. Most just said I was overanalyzing per usual.

that's my guess specially because dealer allegedly has a solo version. my guess is insiders like BOZ and eclipse got the album when it was 70/80% done and only thunder was reworked, dealer was with miles kane and BBS wasn't there yet. and then they got their security stronger and no one has the full album yet

She’s been really saying, I’m my own woman

And to think we would have gotten the album by tomorrow morning if the release date hadn't been changed...

Lana and barrie leaving their differences behind after all those years and releasing their stuff, like riverside, living legend. They reached what they  wanted for the ''best american record'' and they know that.. 

Also if you think about that, through all the songs he could chose to release, he chose the one with the chorus ''finally, im getting close to the dream'' .

Spoiler

Im not saying that this will be her best record because, but its going to be one of her greatest for sure, like thunder living legend.... sooo excited

Dont forget that If You Lie Down With Me is also a "barrie song" 

[YourGirl666 13,251]

If Violet for Roses is anything close to HM title track, I might die at my first listen

[GrenadineGrass 4,118]

I've just realised that this is the first era after 3 albums without having enormous track titles!!

if you lie down with me feels shorter than chemtrails over the country club and you/let me love you like a woman and you can't change my mind

 

[turquoisejewel 2,014]

i feel so lucky and blessed to be able to live in the same time period as Lana and also to witness this incredibly her best era unfold

Black bathing suit… maybe is a reference about that scene of the suicide attempt from The Bell Jar??? 
“I am I am I am”

she already did that with patent leather do-over so i am not sure she would revisit that topic again but it's certainly possible! manifesting she doesn't break my heart though  manifesting a witty light-hearted banger in the vein of HBTB 

[baddisease 17,936]

Is robotripping the best way to experience a Lana album for the first time?

i wonder if she's gonna serve vocals in this album, because COCC was a breath of fresh air in the vocal department. white dress, wild at heart, NAWWAL and DTWD featured some of the most unique and iconic lana vocals and i would love if she experimented more of it on this record aside from the screaming masterpiece

 

I'm glad that someone is finally recognizing the amazing vocals in COCC.

People like to talk shit about that album and yeah you can have your opinion but the vocals were definitely some of her best in years.

arcadia kinda serves on ''send to the hilton hotel'' part, her belts are flawless

Thunder mood board bc I'm so excited to hear the new version.

 

This whole album feels soooo autumn!! And did something similar when I thought what lana could giving in the next album visually. 

Spoiler

Thunder, riverside, living legend were on the tracklist...
