i love the trio and dealer, i think if it weren't for them the album would sound too long winded and one tone, it adds a dash of pop and energy imo

 

the trio interlude, dealer and moments like the BBS and LL outros are what make this album so interesting to me. They give it life tbh.

To me it does, Arcadia is Lana expressing her sadness and pain and then The Trio is more about expressing anger, like she’s been through enough and puts her middle finger in the air for all the people who’ve been hurting her

thats in your head

Love that we got Dealer immediately on the next record after we found out about it. Could have been like Yosemite where we waited two album cycles later, or worse…

The Trio honestly fits so well I can't believe people are still acting like it doesn't  It's a perfect little gut punch after announcing her pained departure in Arcadia before the deep dive she takes in Black Bathing Suit. 

 

Yes. I consider The Trio to be a part of Arcadia. I bet LDR does also. I mean...is there even a break between the two?

i played NFR for my boyfriend and he liked it but still preferred BB. my holy trinity is UV, NFR then BB. 

 

He's a keeper.

yes!! and lana never fails to surprise me– i really thought dealer was going to be a super dark, diamanda galas esque song based on her description and it is really something else entirely. her mind...

[blackestday x tough 5,330]

i love dealer

 

but i wish she would make more songs in the style where only she sings. this way of singing, screaming and breathing. that would be amazing.

[Fingertips 72,034]

Thunder to Sweet Carolina is my favorite sequence of tracks from the record. It's all so beautiful and intimate. 

[Skuj 226]

I have a regret.

 

I wish that instead of "Skuj", I registered as "Fuckin' Mr Brightside". 

 

Edit: I like my new sig. Do you?

Ya'll I think Blue Banisters is becoming one those albums that plays a huge roll in my current state of mind/life. I don't know how to explain it, but I feel the same about UV, BTD and NFR. Don't get me wrong I listen to all her songs and etc, but sometimes i just listen to a certain group of songs from LFL, HM, and COCC depending on my mood or if I want to relive a certain memory/feeling that happened during those times that I first heard those songs. Even tho I love those albums as a whole , but with Blue Banisters I keep going to the whole thing. I know it's still pretty new, and I might just be in that mood but I can relate to almost every song in a way at this current time.

 

IDK if this post makes any sense or if anyone can relate in someway but yea lol. I know there isn't a huge gap between BB and COCC, and COCC has a bunch of songs that I can relate to a certain memory or feeling, but I feel like BB captures that as a whole a lot better than COCC did. IDK. lol

Love listening to this album with Wild One, ITTJ, UFB & Fine China included 

 

Slightly bloats the tracklist but the first three balance the piano tracks well, and make it a more full-feeling album experience for me

Arcadia deserves so much better - it's the bright star shining over this album.

Oh, it's fucking brilliant, like so many others on this monumental album. 

 

Every spin of BB that I do I find new beautiful things on it. 

 

And I'm convinced that it wins the award for the most criminally overlooked album of 2021. 

[drugmunny 8,879]

i still can't believe i'm living in a world where i don't have a BB vinyl but I have 2 Chemtrails vinyls
