Let's remember Jack wanted to do more with Chemtrails, but ultimately Lana made him go for more of a stripped down route. 

It’s actually the opposite 💀 Lana told Annie Mac that she “really really wanted more from Jack” and said elsewhere that she encouraged Jack to go “wilder” with the production (which I guess certainly doesn’t help lessen the often unwarranted hate for Jack here lol) - but I guess it might have been difficult to be on the same page since they were apart as Chemtrails was being finalized during the early pandemic (Lana in LA and Jack in NY).

Oh, mess! Then let me go back to the Jack hate-train :hide:

I think Drew is okay. Most of his work with Lana is either hit or miss but at the same time, I'm not sure if it's really his fault?

idc, your remix of Chemtrails is amazing. I get goosebumps every time I listen to it, I barely listen to the original version now :eek2:

I already said this once, but the live version you did for Fine China is amazing. It's just a few elements and it's not over the top, but it's improved the song so much. The guitars in the chorus are great. Thanks! :wub:

Beautiful was whatever but Arcadia and specially IYLDWM were amazing. I'm a proud Drew stan :true: 

 

He also arranges for FJM and they nail it every time. I think the problem with Beautiful is that Drew works better when doing full orchestras (or at least some strings) so a lone piano didn't let him shine (even though the tinkling was pretty).

Tbh let’s be fair to Mr Drew the biggest problem with Beautiful is the lyrics and honestly her delivery that’s the one song in her discography where I actually find myself actively annoyed at the vocals 

 

the “what is someone had AAAAAAAsked Picasso not to be SAAAAAAAAd” part is just awful :rip: I think he will do better on a better written song 

 

also it sounded like it was mixed on a high school calculator

The Jack hate is the result of fans wanting to blame someone for Lana’s shift toward more lyrically ambitious and less reverb heavy/dream-pop music.

 

But the truth is Jack is a great producer, especially with Lana. His production can become redundant at times but not so much with Lana.

 

Drew on the other hand… something stinks! No but seriously I think their collaboration was the result of Jack having a crazy schedule and Lana needing to find someone quickly. I didn’t like his production on BB and whoever does the mixing for their tracks…

No the WORST PART is the delivery of the Beautiful lines… she was at her lowest.

jack discourse again so i’m just gonna say it again as well, i don’t understand any of the hate! not even on the mixing, which i’ve seen people criticize too. there’s not a single lana+jack song besides one that i listen to the instrumental of and think “oh this is bad”. other than that awful out of place beat that was added to How to Disappear, the only complaints with some of the songs he’s worked on actually stem from lana herself, like the melodies (which she writes) are boring or drag on. but i don’t have a single complaint about any of his production or mixing choices besides HTD

Yeah, whoever mixed Drew's tracks on Blue Banisters needs to be fired. I can barely hear Arcadia on any system that isn't my car listening to the CD or headphones :rip: Aux? I have to turn that shit all the way up to even hear anything. Never happened with any Lana song before Blue Banisters

I asked Asmodeus (the demon of lust) to make Miley Cyrus suffer. I am not happy with these new developments. After Miley rips off Lana's aesthetic, she bullies Lana into changing her release date. It is infuriating.

I think seriously that you can’t listen to California and think the issue is the melody. It’s a gorgeous melody, gorgeous instruments, but the mixing is off. It feels like there’s a dampener on it that just stops it building. I can’t explain it but California in my eyes should’ve been her best song and unfortunately the production on it just ruins it.
