LDR9 - Pre-Pre-Release Thread

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 

 

I agree 100% about 'Yosemite' and 'IYLDWM.' 'Yosemite' definitely fit better on COCC than it would have on LFL as released. Both are among my Top 5 Lana songs ever. 

 

IMO, she ruined TNBAR completely on NFR, and it didn't fit at all on NFR. I'm glad I have the 'original' demo or ready-to-go leaked version. I keep it on a second version of LFL I created, and call 'Next Best American Record.' 

 

I think, in the past, we've known that Lana herself, or her people or handlers, leaked a couple songs--isn't that a fact? It's been discussed here so many times. Can anyone produce any hard evidence? If so, if correct, we can't 100% blame all the leaked tracks on others or outsiders. 

 

Going forward, I don't mind previously leaked tracks on LDL9 if they're reworked in the studio.

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.

I also miss her earlier BTD/P vocals, also heard on 'Wait For Life,' were she seemed to be really concentrating on her vocals and doing all kinds of original and novel things with them, expressing different personas, etc. 

 

I think she's just become happy with what she considers her 'true, real, and authentic voice,' and just wants to use that, so we hear it on 'Arcadia,' and 'Sweet Caroline,' and 'VFR.'

“Wait for life” is one of my favorite songs from her for this exact reason . Her vocals are phenomenal in that song .

For some reason IYLDWM is one of her most recent songs that remind me a bit of her earlier BTD/P vocals .

'Wait For Life' is also one of my favorites--so passionate, so overflowing with emotion and pain.

I'd be more surprised if it isn't at this point 

But there are so many types of ballads anyway 

[Off To The Races 2010 demo pls 19,335]

Anyway, I really don't have anything big or complex to say about LDR9 apart of wanting it to be vastly different of her previous releases. I know BB felt more diverse production-wise, and Dealer was surely something else vocally, but still I just want ha to get out of the comfort zone she has been in since LFL and then improvise and experiment with her voice like she did with Dealer, although... Now that I'm thinking, that'd be way greater to happen for LDR10

From who? 

[Liz Taylor Blues 18,728]

[Liz Taylor Blues 18,728]
