Has anyone noticed that BBS contains at the beginning a sample from The Trio by Ennio Morricone? So there is a connection to the interlude.

 

 

I was thinking it must be a sample like the beginning of 13 Beaches. Maybe that could also connect BBS as an answer to Text Book, Blue Banisters and Arcadia?

 

Love your findings

Did NY Times review BB? Or even LA Times?

 

Those 14 reviews on Metacritic are driving me crazy.... Let's get this baby up to 89 minimum 

That will never happen, but if the album gets some 9/10 and 10/10, the score could slightly rise, so maybe there’s a chance the album will end up with a score around 82-83. But there’s also a chance it goes down to 77-78 depending on if the rest of the reviewers are kind to Lana or not… The reviews shouldn’t lower than 8/10 from now on

Oh that's fantastic! Why not mix the transition into BBS from the Trio though?? That hard cut to the crows seems to cry out for a mix.

The real question is how do we make Dealer go viral!?

Have to make a video on tiktok with Dealer as a sound. The more interesting video the better.

Thank god we still have to wear a mask in public places because I cannot listen to the “mail me when you get the blues” part without wanting to laugh, it reminds me of Lana’s SNL Blue Jeans performance when Shakira possessed her for a few seconds

Can I just say... I am so thankful they fixed the Spotify version of the album. Sat here with Beautiful on repeat because my ears aren't shattering.

have you closed and refreshed the app? i swear mine's been fixed... but you have me second guessing myself now! 

[Marius 12,802]

He loved Text Book, Arcadia, Dealer, Sweet Carolina, Black Bathing Suit, Blue Bannisters and The Trio. Give this man some views for the impeccable taste.

yes, multiple times 

maybe you’re manifesting it to sound better so in your head it does

It's a nice record but saying it's better than Ultraviolence or Honeymoon is barbarism.  Another thing is that, for me, this album lacks a banger. I expected at least one, perhaps in the style of Interlude which alone feels so out of place. Dealer ain't that, it is too slow, unfortunately. Something dreamy would work too.
