Well the few people I know IRL that know about Lana had no idea about Blue Banisters, Hell when I called my Record store about the RSD release I Asked about Blue Banisters. They had no clue another album was coming out. So with Chemtrails literally breaking vinyl sales records from I think 1994? I’m afraid BB won’t be as big on sales. But who knows, I’d love to be wrong for once in this lifetime.

I think there was such a post-NFR letdown from Chemtrails and those three singles that some publications like Pitchfork chose not to review/give much attention to Arcadia. There will always be media attention around Lana, but there seems to be a little less nowadays. I think a lot of music critics just don't care as much anymore. People who like her will always like her, and those don't probably won't start now. NFR kind of felt like a peak for her career: she was getting all of the media attention she got during that early BTD to Ultraviolence era but instead of it being confused or negative, it was largely positive. Chemtrails kind of broke that stride and I suspect BB will really end it. 

 

I don't think Chemtrails broke that stride. The actual reviews for the album were excellent, her second best after NFR. Sadly (and unfairly) QFTC ended the highs that came with NFR, and then the mesh mask and other controversies only furthered that, so by the time Chemtrails and the three singles came out, the press was afraid to write about Lana. I think without any of the drama, the positive attention she was getting around NFR would have only continued to build, but unfortunately people were quick to forget that they briefly loved her and instead returned to thriving on drama and writing unfair takes about her that lacked nuance.

 

I sincerely hope that all that is far enough away that people will return to the music, because as we know, no one does it better than Lana and it's about damn time that the industry properly recognizes that. If not, well then so be it, millions of people know how incredible she is, and her legacy will last forever.

she should've put the energy on making physical variants for blue banisters instead of cocc. if chemtrails sold that many vinyls with that ugly ass album cover the blue banisters variants would've sold like water

How do you guys feel about Sweet Carolina as a closer? I think it might be up there with Get Free as one of her best closers.
