Blue Banisters - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

[Super Movie 51,638]

Sweet Carolina was most likely the last track recorded, but I think that BBS was the last one finished. I always thought it was weird that insiders never had that song right before or right up until it leaked after the physicals came out early. It's interesting because this album was technically an 8 year process if you include the unreleased tracks + If You Lie Down With Me, but all of the newer songs seem to have been done in the span of a few months to a year or so

Honeymoon- Ultraviolence - Blue Banisters 

 

  Hide contents

Chemtrails is on the 4th spot

 

I feel more attached to Honeymoon than NFR (though they are both amazing albums). My holy trinity is also UV, Honeymoon, and BB.

Does anyone else hear snoring or something in the beginning of Arcadia? Maybe the first 30 seconds or so.

If things ever go wrong, just know this is your song
And we love you

 

 

[That Venice Bitch 28,074]

The subtle percussion in the background of the entirety of Thunder almost sounds like a whole other song. I love it

BB instrumentals WHEN???? that's all i want. i'll never ask for another leak again.

You're very brave, and there's much to see.

This is excellent, but if Coldplay are alternative, I'm the lead singer for the Abba reunion tour.

i'm not the biggest bb fan either but "screeching-cat histrionics" is sitting REAL badly w me lol 

Lol.,I just really dislike the song. And I hate the first-take vibe and unpolished production.

 

I know some say "it was meant to be like that", but it just strikes me as lazy and unconsidered. 

[Venice Jesus Whore 4,471]

The melody and delivery of “Dance me all around the room” from If You Lie Down With Me sounds super similar to one of Lana’s unreleased songs, but I can’t place it. 
 

Does anyone know which one it is?

[Vertimus 9,547]

'Arcadia,' which has really grown on me, is 'Looking For America''s big sister. 

[Venice Jesus Whore 4,471]

Hear me out:

• Black Bathing Suit is the 13 Beaches of Blue Banisters
• Nectar of the Gods is the Breaking Up Slowly of Blue Banisters

Agree or disagree?
