All you naysayers SHUT UP IT’S HER DAY

Love the whole album! My favorites are black bathing suit and Thunder. The birds noises in bbs remind me of the twitter mob attacking lol. I was reading yalls descriptions of the horror violins on Thunder and so true, actually they sound like the violins in the Dexter theme song- spare the blade! I am glad there are 2 versions of the song. I adore both and this one fits the album better.

Jared is having a mental breakdown as we speak  In all seriousness, though, I can't say I don't enjoy songs that Jack has produced because that would be a lie. But there's such a clear difference in quality of instrumentals from Chemtrails to Blue Banisters. Everything feels so much more alive on BB

Wow I didn’t know in ‘Beautiful’ she mentions Picasso, this whole time I thought it was ‘what if someone had asked a girl not to be sad..” .. but knowing it’s ‘someone had asked Picasso’.. makes it less LDR like lyrics . Which I enjoy, more depth.

you’re all really dragging Jack like nfr! wasn’t in your top lana albums

 

(I love Jack, glad he did what he did in nfr! and cotcc. And I’m glad he wasn’t involved in this album. Both opinions can co-exist)

Ageee!!! Jack really did iconic work with her. I don’t get the jack hate however I think what suits Lana best is switching  up producers often, since she is very dynamic.

[Ultraviolencequeen 2,849]

I’m stoked the reviews of this album are actually generally really great and they understand her, which makes me happy. And can we talk about the Joni vocals on sweet Carolina?! Wow.

Thunder is truly on my top 10 Lana songs so beautiful!

Compared to her latest work ( NFR , COCC) I like BB the most. It sounds like a classic. I missed her deeper vocals , the versatility in instrumentation and the experimentation with the sound and her voice. It seems to me more ambitious compared to her latest projects . All of the songs are really catchy melody-wise . The only songs that are not clicking for me still are BB and Arcadia.

It's not to say that I think a certain someone is the worst producer out there, but I find that on his work with Lana he used piano in such a basic, tinny and understated kinda way that I was just turned off by those piano driven songs. Whereas on 'Blue Banisters' the piano songs they just sound so different, they're rich, lush and intricate. I am really enjoying those piano driven songs in a way I had not on the past two albums. 

spilled here!!!

So true bestie

i'm writing an official review, it's almost done. it will be the review she deserves. 

 

would also like to add that the album sounds INCREDIBLE on apple music, so much better than the leak. 

[Mineofyouwithme 85]

I get that everyone was getting tired of the Antonoff sound, but he crafted some gorgeous songs. You're just going to pretend NFR! as an album, White Dress, and Dark But Just A Game don't exist?

 

Lana benefits from working with a lot of different producers. I'm happy she's working with others, but Jack does not deserve the hate he's getting.

 

We can appreciate each producer and what they bring without trashing the others.

From me, it's not hate, I just don't think he was the producer for her, even though he did produce many great tracks, like 'The Greatest,' 'Venice Bitch,' 'White Dress,' and the COCC title track.

BBS reminds me of Dark But Just a Game, which is amazing, but even better.

[Summerain 1,269]

I love the album, It's in my top 3. My fav song If You lie Down with me

[analdelgay 367]

It’s so good I love the outro of if u lie down with me 

[littleseashell 2,499]

I cannot get over this album  It's SO good I can't even process it completely. Every repeat of this album feels like a fresh new start
