Doesn’t the album hold one of the highest user scores on Metacritic? Lana’s stans are doing wonders haha

They're probably just talking about the live performance. But Arcadia does have a demo, or an early version (that was used for the first music video)

I think Blue Banisters is easily better than both COCC and NFR both musically and lyrically even tho the lyrics are still too wordy for my liking and I find some of them embarrassing and cringy.

In regards to what the 'one word' is, Lana said it was one that affected the rest of the album. I immediately thought it was "mother" (which she says on BBS).

The matriarchal theme has never been a present theme on any album of Lana's before, yet it underlies and informs many of the experiences she sings about on this record. Our familial upbringing – particularly our relationships with our parents – undoubtedly has the most impact on the way we move through the world. 

 

Yes I immediately thought about the word "mother" too but she mentioned it before in Old Money.

i immediately thought of the word "dharma" since its something she's seemed to be thinking about a lot the past year or two

[issgouding 1,428]

you all what is that word she said she never mention it before and it's kinda her story on this album ? i bet it's bansiters 

[palemoonbaby 15,103]

She seriously fucking did it with that album. Text Book, Arcadia, BBS, If You Lie Down With Me, Dealer, Thunder, Living Legend are 11/10

[arcadialovesong2018 674]

I'm genuinely not sure if we are allowed to speak about it now but
