this is proof that it is NEVER too late to see the light
but also were you really a local because i don't think locals even know that BB exists

not really a local but I wasn’t that much into unreleased so it was like listening to a brand new album done from the base

 

and that is also why I don’t feel any emotional attachment to any of the demos (specially thunder)

I listen to a lot of unreleased music but I actually hate demos. Most of them actually suck and were changed for a reason. The only good ones are the Freak demo, Lust For Life demo, and BPBP

BB was an album she always wanted/had to make. She opened up about a lot of stuff, released it with almost no promo and finally put some of her favorite songs she had to discard initially cause they leaked. 

I feel like it's both a final chapter and a prologue of what's to come.

So poetic

I always felt like BB was like 5-6 songs she had done when working on Rock Candy Sweet, which didn’t flow or feel cohesive for the record. She then decided to make those songs into BB instead and add the leaked songs to fill out the record. I believe LDR9 will be in the direction of RCS with a few songs that were planned for RCS.

After basically a year of not listening to them, I’ve become obsessed with Thunder and Living Legend. They’ve been on repeat all day long.

I dont hate these albums and enjoyed them quite a bit but maybe people's perception would have been better had she released the best of two albums

[Eugene 26,662]

What is this Blue Banisters everyone is talking about? Lana's latest release was Chemtrails Over the Country Club.

I love blue banisters but I was just coming in here to say the exact same thing. Even to the point of cherry blossom being the one old old track to keep of the 3, to me cherry blossom doesn't belong on any other album but this one

[the ocean 67,597]

if we're having the "if COCC & BB were one album" or "if BB was culled" conversation...

something around the lines of this (not in this exact order just the general idea)

white dress
chemtrails
tulsa jesus freak
dark but just a game
text book
blue banisters
arcadia
black bathing suit
if you lie down with me
violets for roses
thunder
wildflower wildfire
cherry blossom
sweet carolina

i enjoy the rest of BB & "wild at heart" but this would be a killer album

[Super Movie 51,550]

I honestly adore both Chemtrails and Blue Banisters as their own bodies of work, but I've always thought the combo of them would be so interesting, so here's my ideal listing since others are popping up now lol: 

White Dress

Text Book

Chemtrails Over The Country Club

Dark But Just A Game

Black Bathing Suit

Tulsa Jesus Freak

If You Lie Down With Me

Violets for Roses

Dance Til We Die

Thunder 

Yosemite

Wildflower Wildfire
