I can’t wait to see her festival outfits, I hope she dresses like she normally does. Her most iconic performance looks are from festivals 

 

We need big hair, vintage dresses, flowers in hair, face beat, lips filled, guitar she can’t play in her hand. Give us a serve 

I love that little guitar prop that she holds

Ok but now I get why this album feels so short, she either starts singing late or finishes singing early, why not sing the whole damn song 

plus two interludes

My hatred of Blue Banisters isn’t for the actual songs themselves, but the album and its concept / creation.

 

Individually, the songs are great. The 3 2013 songs, IYLDWM, BBS, Arcadia, Dealer, Thunder and Sweet Carolina are some of my favourite Lana songs. However the creation of Blue Banisters (in my opinion) is so incredibly lazy and random. 

Not to mention, the things she attempted with Text Book, Blue Banisters, WFWF, Beautiful and Violets For Roses are done miles better on Ocean Blvd.

 

Personally, I think Blue Banisters is a stain on her discography simply because she rushed to release it (and the initial concept was changed so many times) and it feels unfocused. The songs I mentioned above were necessary for her to get to the stage she is at with her poetic personal writing, but that doesn’t mean she should have released this. It feels like she had those 4 singles, realised she found where she wanted to go artistically on future records, and tried to quickly shape an album around it by pulling songs from anywhere and everywhere (including YouTube). 

 

TL;DR: Sometimes songs have to be written for an artist to move forward artistically but that doesn’t mean they have to be released. 

 

Anyways yeah that’s my personal opinion on BB, I don’t hate it like it’s not Ava Max level bad but still it sits at the bottom of my ranking and will probably stay there. For newer fans, or people who don’t care for albums as a collective body, I understand why they would like it but for me I just cant see this compilation of tracks as an acclaimed body of work on par with her others.

 

it's a shit record that she totally winged and everything you said is correct. Shoulda been an EP like Paradise. It doesn't deserve to be called an LDR album. Hopefully, it remains the lowest bar she'll ever hit.

people just hate BB because they're in denial that it's a top 4 album with such long standing classics as title track, living legend and text book

 but it's still miles better than 90% of the stuff by other artists. 

 

I'll take BB over Lover even.

me when mac, venice bitch, cinnamon girl, and california clear almost all of ocean blvd

imo, ocean blvd lacks a warmth that i get from her other albums, most notably uv, hm, nfr, and bb, which are why i love those albums so much
the songs on ocean blvd are great, but just because a song is objectively good doesn't make it my favorite

No it's true 

It's weird bc OB does have the power to make me emotional, but I find it hard to really connect to many of the songs, and it's not just because they're based on very subjective and personal experiences. Idk, it hasn't entered my holy trinity of Lana albums  - just a few songs off the record have the same timeless, instant classic quality to them imo
