I adore you and this is not directed towards you at all, but I don't understand most of the fan complaints about leaked tracks making records

 

First, it's "this song deserved to be on the album, wow how could she not release this!"

Then, when it makes the album in an altered form in some way, it's "she ruined it by changing it!"

Then, when it makes the album in its exact form, it's "we've had this song forever, how lazy!"

 

I think people should pick a lane about this issue. I get it's all subjective and people are going to have different reactions to reworked tracks, and no one has to like everything she does, but I find it inconsistent sometimes

 

i'm personally fine with including 1 or 2 tracks that we already have, but when they make up half the record then that's just lazy and boring. especially if we had them for years

For me what matters most is if a song fits the album, and Lana is really good at choosing carefully I think. I don't really agree with calling certain songs "scraps" because writers save work for the future all the time. For example, Yosemite isn't a LFL scrap at all in my eyes, it's a perfect and crucial part of Chemtrails and we wouldn't have a clue that it was older if we didn't know because it fits so beautifully. If You Lie Down With Me may be old, but we never even heard of it and it sounds super fresh and fitting.

 

I definitely would rather not have leaked songs because I want as much new music as possible, but I also think Lana has chosen to use them well and she's not as lazy about it as some people say. Each addition to Blue Banisters has a purpose and fits the themes and narrative really nicely (except maybe Thunder but it's still a solid part of the album.) She's ultimately telling the story that she wants and it's not her fault that these songs leaked, and in the future people won't even know that when looking back at her legacy. The only mistake she really made for me was switching up TNBAR because the "honey how's it feeling" part is one of my favourite moments in her discography :toofunny:

i disagree.. if it wasn't for leaks nobody would know they were old songs. it's still her original work and she didn't intend for anyone to hear it back then. it isn't really her responsibility to cater her albums to what people decide to leak.. trust me, TONS of artists release tracks recorded years and years ago it's just that nobody knows about it.. like yeah it's "boring" for you guys because you're huge fans and listen to every leak but for the general public and the vision lana has for the album she (imo) shouldn't be judged or seen as lazy for using songs that didn't fit on previous records

i’m fine with the unreleased she’s already put on an album but there are no more songs in her unreleased leaked catalog that need to be placed on an officially released album……

 

they’re all fantastic songs but we don’t really have any post lfl leaks and most of the older stuff *that we have* doesn’t match up with where she is now

i think fine china and a few others could be released especially if she goes in a pop direction, most would be better with a rework though obv as her voice has changed

according to a person on twitter, lana was seen on michigan ave in chicago yesterday. i think she's visiting jack because he was there on the 4th and that's his hometown :sluttybunny: but we know she was in NY on the 4th

How do we know she was in NY?

i need Lana with proper vocal production back. Her vocal production became a bit sloppy (lack of a better term) imo, starting all the way back with L4L (it was too bad but that’s the origin). It just lost that magic touch it used to have.

I agree, around that time I would notice issues that I couldn't believe weren't fixed during production. Even on an outstanding album like NFR her vocals are too low in the mix in a few songs. BB is the worst offender imo, with the production sounding cheap in some songs and the mixing outright ruining a few songs for me. Arcadia is a beautiful song but they never really fixed the pitching issues. In her earlier albums I never noticed any production issues. I'm relatively new to LB so idk if there's been any explanation for the change in production quality?

Unpopular opinion but lanas earlier production seemed more dramatic and opulent with experimental vocals with lots of resonance. Later production from nfr on, Ive felt has been more stripped with cleaner, crisper vocals. Both are gorgeous to me. But i think Lana even knew that her next few albums might not be the “bangers” that people beg for, but it was how she wanted to tell her story. I think she has been referencing to whatever LDR9 is going to be for a while now, maybe longer than we have even noticed. I feel this is definitely something completely different and unexpected idk I just have a hunch that something very refreshing is coming.

just had a dream an hour ago, or more like a vision right before waking up, lana released 5 tracks out of the album and 3 of them were called "ZigZag" "French Restaurant" and "Abercrombie"….:facepalm: can’t recall the names of the other two but the cover for them was an outtake of the W mag photoshoot that resembled the one in which she turns her back on the camera with the bow hat. all im gonna say is I hope im not psychic :um3:
