Blue Banisters - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

[Honeyyoung 17,096]

since we were talking about how underwhelming dealer not being on chemtrails was and at the end it make complete sense why it wasn't – i wonder if LYTAN is going to be in a future project and then we'll see why it wasn't on blue banisters

Lemme contemplate for another 30 minutes. Lanas impact 

 

 

I love to smoke listening to NOTG, pondering what cruel world is this

this is just wishful thinking but it would be a dream to have her on the cover wearing a black bathing suit

Not sure what’s gotten into me, but I haven’t been able to get Blue Banisters (the song) off repeat. I never connected much with it before these past couple days.

It's heartbreakingly beautiful

Okay this is definitely the album I’ve found it hardest to get into from Lana and have least desire to return to upon release. I find the vocal delivery pretty drab too often 😟 and the intentional decisions to be more unpolished and less produced and a little off kilter have me thinking “I wish she would’ve just polished this in a way it would be more palatable” but that’s just what she’s going for so 🤷‍♂️

 

For example when she was singing clips from songs like Living Legend and Cherry Blossom on her livestream, I thought they sounded better than the album versions! There was so much brightness and clarity to her voice acapella on a livestream that isn’t present on the studio recordings.

It also doesn’t help that I’m so in love with the original version of Thunder that I feel like the album version really pales in comparison and removes a lot of the atmosphere that made me love the song so much in the first place. 
 

Her best album cover though! 

The cherry blossom vocals on her quick video years ago were gorgeous, I think vocals have to be sung in the heat of the motion.

I was so shook to get the vinyls today. Since some people were reporting delays and Target even delayed the vinyls…. Idk, i haven’t opened them but they’re beautiful from what i’ve seen

When he posted about Blue Banisters he didn't even put the name of the album  I don't see him as being a particularly bitter person and obviously him and Lana are still friends, but it's still kind of funny nonetheless

Obviously this just speculation but I think she fired him as a producer. She’s clearly bugged about the Lorde thing ( as well as with COCC it seemed like he was undermining/ overriding her on the production being done/ not as wild as she wanted, his remarks in the inyerview a couple months ago.) We know that Lana is 100 percent in charge. That’s not to speculate that they are no longer friends or on good terms but she clearly decided to go in a different creative diret, scrap the songs she made with him for this project, and I doubt it was with no hard feelings

She basically confirmed it on the livestream

Violets For Roses and Black Bathing Suit are clearly about Clay

Also you know she had to hate how critics who hated her pre NFR music were now fawning at his feet, and how he was getting all the credit for her most critically acclaimed album. Thats not normal for producers to be treated as the geniuses behind the record.

true. idk, i think there's not 100% burned bridges there, but i think jack likes to control the studio and we know lana does, thats why she never worked with dan auerbach again. it's just interesting how we haven't seen them interact since cocc dropped. zack did the post this time of her in the studio when they made thunder which was interesting to see 

 

lana traded j for z lol
