Blue Banisters - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

[Sunset Opal 4,321]

I still think that album should be a EP 

But after many months title track grown on me so much so it’s a good thing 

Also Black Bathing Suit should get MV and THUNDER ! Beautiful is a camp classic If you get it you get it

Still her worst album… however if some of the tracks on Chemtrails and BB were combined to make a cute 12 track album it would be top 5

Chemtrails and BB are nothing alike, they deal with very different topics. So no, Chemtrails is fine as it is.

I don't love Blue Banisters, but his reaction made me want to listen to that album and give it another chance.

Does anyone know where I could still snatch a color variant of this album at retail price online?

BBS is a masterpiece. That second verse is very much so a transcending experience.

This album is better than lfl and paradise... but that's it. 
I love some of the new lyrics (BB, WW, TB, BBS and Arcadia) but the production.... oh my god

[Sportscruiser 11,896]

I’ve always been critical of Blue Banisters (the only LDR album I don’t love) but fate wanted me to eat crow by positioning me last saturday night in Lisbon’s biggest club with my friends and making me cross paths with my ex, whom I haven’t seen since we broke up… at the height of BB’s release. It was a very intense and emotionally overwhelming encounter, in which we both locked eyes, went to each other and hugged very very intensely, without saying a word. We barely talked during our exchange and yet I feel like we talked for hours and hours.

 

Going back home later that night, listening to BB (the album that inadvertently accompanied said breakup) made me appreciate the album’s earthy energy and somber tone a lot more. It’s unfocused, unfiltered and unpolished and yet it perfectly recaptures the feeling of coming down to reality after running out of breath by all the memories going in and out of your body. I cried for nearly an hour, letting the album flow all over me and I realized part of the reason I never revisited the album after the acute phase of my breakup was because there’s a lot of stuff there that’s hard to digest and process - it’s when you feel like you’re hit by a wall of bricks and need something to soundtrack that sensation of being torn apart and look at the mess that was made that the album’s quality shines through. I may not always return to it on a regular basis like I do with her other albums but whenever the universe plays very specific tricks on me, I know Blue Banisters will be there for me. It always has.

 

Just wanted to defend the album, sorry for the derailing the thread. I still think Tunnel is aiming for a different vibe altogether.

[13beachess 7,620]

I didnt really vibe with the title track nor Text Book even though I loved WW when they came out. Actually I haven't really been able to appriciate the other two sisters of the triplet singles until now. They are truly something special about them. And even though I wouldn't rank this album as my top 3 Lana album (I think) I listen to BB song basically daily (Which I "can't" do with any other Lana album, or album overall) and it's actually my most listened album. (so far this year atleast. And that I know bcs I got last.fm on the 1st of January lol) In other words... BB is still fresh as fuck despite its flaws.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the vulnerable masterpiece that is Wildflower Wildfire?
