LDR9 Speculation & Discussion Thread

[KingJay 3,018]

Wait, people didn’t like Water Color gods? It’s such a pretty song. It’s obvi not no Young & Beautiful. But it’s still a great soundtrack song imo.

He has "additional production" credits and he also worked on the arrangements.

On top of co-producing BBS & IYLDWM and rearranging Thunder (which I know people seem to hate, but he made it fit the vibe of the album better, so he really did something interesting imho).

 

I'd say we won.

beautiful and watercolor eyes are kinda bad though i'll give you that point 

 

exactly idk why tf yall were celebrating violets for roses is half baked at best and honestly so boring

what i will not stand is a song that sounds like fucking beautiful that is the only ldr song i absolutely despise

Manifesting all the Drew songs get scrapped 

 

Would literally take anyone over another Drew Erikson album... even Mr. Antonoff

 

if i had a choice i would honestly rather not get another lana album than CHOOSE to get another album produced by either or both of them

 

but it's happening and i'll listen to it and force myself to enjoy it anyway 

 

edit: btw the album probably won't even be bad i'm just saying if i had a choice (which i don't and never will)

[shadesofloveduthenandnow 20,610]

I just want a whole album produced by Zach Dawes pls  

[PatentLeatherDoOver 25,783]

What about a Mike-Dean-produced synth album with hazy string arrangements by Erickson. Jack Antonoff and Dawes having writing credits. Everyone wins (I think?) 

[bluechemtrails 26,828]

when Lana herself gives best insider information ...

 

Drew Erickson arranged FJM's new album including Buddy's Rendezvous, that's what we want 

 

 

[COCC 29,554]

I‘ll pray for you, Lanaboards

 

Spoiler

But you'll need a miracle

 

[SalvaWHORE 34,066]

come to think of it, it's not Drew, it's Lana herself

if she wants the whole LDR9 be a bunch of Beautifuls/Violet for Roses then it will be.

which i manifest that wont be the case.

[Pico Ocean Boulevard 41,149]

Omg this made me excited for LDR9  again

 

Rob played beautifully piano on SC , Drew Erickson could give us strings & brass moments & I'm curious what Jack will deliver. I hope he will give us guitars 

However I hope piano will be not the lead instrument on the upcoming album & more like a beautiful detail on the songs or in the background,I hope you know what I mean lol

I think they can cook up sth beautiful for us but we need some bangers & bridges again too

Manifesting some harps & flutes too

I’m not sure anymore than everybody would win…  it’s tradition, on LB, to shit on the producer of the previous album. Emile and Dan didn’t get the treatment because they didn’t come back for the next one 

[GeminiLanaFan 49,082]

Drew was the producer on If You Lie Down With Me, which gave us that beautiful brass outro… I’m in!

by the way, lustforlife said she was working with Drew again… and which new “insider” said If we loved Buddy’s RV, we’d love LDR9? dragonwhore?

part of why i don't like jack or drew is not that they're bad producers or songwriters but because they don't add literally anything

 

it's like eating cheetos or something - looks good and might taste good to some people and it won't kill you but it has zero nutritional value and there's not a lot of joy in eating a lot of it for a long time

 

the reason why NFR, COCC & BB are good is because of lana's songs... and it's also why they're bad in places as well

 

versus AKA, BTD, ultraviolence & honeymoon where the production is immediately obvious and adds so much more to the already fleshed out songs

changed my analogy to what i was trying to say

This is like saying cheesecake doesn’t need a fruit topping because it’s already good as it is - no, actually cheesecake is good BECAUSE of its topping.

 

Lana would disagree with you, I believe. The songs in NFR and Chemtrails belong to their own individual universes because of intricate and complex production and not just because of Lana’s songwriting.

Owen Pallet did the string arrangement on Thunder. Don’t think Drew had anything to do with the production on Thunder or BBS(he does have songwriting credits though).  Zachary Dawes did work on both songs which is why I would like to see him back over both Jack and Drew. I know Lana ultimately makes the final decisions, but Zach hasn’t missed yet in my opinion. Thunder, Dealer, BBS, and California are all very interesting songs.

y'all hating on drew have some nerve

uh exactly? i’ve literally never liked fruit toppings on cheesecake it kinda ruins it for me
