I've loved all of Lana's releases, but I had to come back to this thread, because several months later it's still my favorite album. Each of BB's songs are absolutely beautiful, but Thunder onward is just masterpiece after masterpiece 

 

Spoiler

Arcadia has also really really grown on me

Just coming to this thread to say how much of a classic this album is and how weird, yet somehow beautiful, is the fact that it's one of her most unknown projects, or at least among the ones that made less noise. It's just got better and better to listen to since it was released and I'm sure the years will solidify it more and more. What an amazing record.

I still fail to see this album as a full body of work. NOTG, LL and Cherry Blossom not being reworked at all and having vocals from almost a decade ago fully takes me out of the album experience. And the fact that those 3 songs are 128kbps and probs youtube rips makes it even worse... I wish she just reworked those like Thunder. She could've at least done a new vocal take. If she was able to record Change and add it to LFL last moment she could've done the same with a song like Cherry Blossom like...

Yes! I still can’t comprehend bb as an album and understand the storyline because I can’t put the songs together. She could’ve easily take a live rendition of cb and nectar.

Idk if this is the right topic but I just received a mail from the german lana store that I won‘t be getting my signed card after the wait. I expected it but I am quite upset about it. It woul‘ve been my first signed item

Okay but Fine China placed between Living Legend and Cherry Blossom is also worth considering

black bathing suit you will always be famous

[lanabanana11 3,854]

blue banisters without the surplus of unreleased songs we've heard before:

1. Textbook 
2. Blue Banisters
3. Arcadia
4. Black Bathing Suit
5. If You Lie Down With Me
6. Rock Candy Sweet
7. Beautiful
8. Violets for Roses
9. Dealer
10.  Thunder
11. Wildflower Wildfire
12. Sweet Carolina

I think this tracklist is the perfect follow up to Chemtrails, and keeping Thunder since it was reworked to fit Blue Banisters perfectly, and keeping If You Lie Down With Me because we had never heard it before and it also fits the album very well (I do think the all the unrleased songs Lana included fit, however this is just a "fat free version")

Decided to cut The Trio because Arcadia into Black Bathing Suit sounds really nice as is. Also Wildflower Wildfire into Sweet Carolina is soooo interesting due to the drastic change in tone between the two songs, one about her issues with her own mother, the other a song for her sister who is going into motherhood!
