The mixing quality on both albums is bad in different ways, but one isn't worse than the other. Even though the execution of sound could be better on both, I think the production/soundscape on Blue Banisters is better. Ocean Blvd is very soft, piano-heavy, and relies on multiple samples of ambient artists like AK and SYML. The interludes are unnecessary, and the song structure on the album is lacking. Long intros and outros means less substance, making the album feel a little like there's too much filler and not enough Lana. On Blue Banisters, the production is stronger and bolder (aside from a couple songs like the title track). The piano-heavy songs are still fuller than Ocean Blvd's, with warm and acoustic instrumentation. The addition of the UV outtakes may be lazy, but I think they work perfectly on the album and don't stand out at all. The album feels cohesive, and I think it's only downfall is the actual mixing and sound quality. Thematically, I don't really think she comes off as "strong" on either album. Both albums are her two most vulnerable ones in her discography; however, Ocean Blvd just deals with heavier topics in a more free-verse, poetry style, stream of consciousness type of lyricism, while the songwriting on Blue Banisters seems a little more polished and traditional overall.

Personally, I think following an album called “did you know that there’s a tunnel under ocean boulevard?”, which begs the question when’s it gonna be my turn? And don’t forget me.. with an album called “the right person will stay” that is entered in an era of her newlywed bliss.. is just perfect 

 

it encapsulates perfectly that moment of finding love when you least expect it, in the most grandiose way. Following a period where you question yourself and how hard you must be to love.. to discover there is somebody who loves you for every perfection and flaw 

 

I’m super stoked for a love album.. and even songs that discuss the hardships of feeling unlovable and not good enough

Agree with pretty much everything you said, especially the bolded part.

 

Anyway, I hope The Right Person Will Stay brings something fresh to the table, at least within one of the 13 new songs. Henry, Come On sounds cute but it's not a new sound (based off the 1 minute snippet)

This. I'm actually hoping she changed Henry a bit production wise.

I’m not getting my hopes up until there’s some kind of confirmation that’s on the album 

[Sunbather Moonchaser 2,359]

I'm so excited for this album, after all the waiting we'll finally have an end of the spring album that will carry us to the summer

[Chiunzhan 1,480]

I feel like this album is gonna be COTCC pt 2

I like it but I don't think it would fit in a country album, so maybe she will release it on some other project, or then it will never see the light of day

Even if it were The Right Man Will Stay, it would be better. Or The Right Lover Will Stay. Or Lover Stay. As it is, it sounds common, like a maudlin piece of advice a friend might give you when they're high or drunk and they notice that you're down—or your mother might provide to cheer you up. 

 

Did she not use man due to all the cultural fuss about "can you define what a 'man' is?", "can you define what a woman is?" 

 

To my ear, it sounds like an album title Olivia Newton-John might have used in the 70s before she became famous.  

 

If it's at all a country album, I'll retitle it Lasso. As is, TRLWS is about as far from Southern Gothic as could be. 

 

I'm honestly surprised that the artist who gave us album titles Born to Die, Ultraviolence, and Honeymoon, and songs like Live or Die, Gods & Monsters, Heroin, 13 Beaches, The Greatest, Hope, and WFWF would announce a title like this. 

 

End of rant. 

 

100%. i'm just curious as to why when I make these exact same statements, i get attacked. Lmao. It genuinely perplexes me.

Does anyone think the album title not being as bombastic as NFR, BTD, UV, etc. may be… on purpose?
