Delete NOW 2,326 Posted October 20, 2022 Bl*e B*niste*s will always be tainted because those YouTube rips. She really should’ve just re-recorded those songs or simply don’t include them at all. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lanabanana11 3,855 Posted October 20, 2022 Hi i have a question to ask but i dont want it to come off as mean or anything, I am just genuinely curious. While watching Lana's video explaining what happened, I couldn't help but notice her teeth looked a bit off? like her two front teeth, they looked a tad pushed forward/out. And it sounded as if she had a bit of a lisp. Did anyone else notice this? has it always been this way? did she perhaps get a veneer recently? Sorry just really curious! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True but at least there's security at her shows. When she's at home she should feel safe without that. It's just kind of on another level if you know what I mean... 5 Quote Honey, you make me feel I'm invincible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

palemoonbaby 15,106 Posted October 20, 2022 it's fine when pre-2018 songs or whatever was scrapped leaks cause it have really small changes to release. i love many unreleased lana's tracks. but it's not good and really disrespectful and annoying when something what has plan to release leaks. i'm not support album/song leaking before planned premiere. if i was artist i wouldn't give a fuck if something from scrapped material leaks cause my every album would have different vibe and songs from previous albums wouldn't fit to new album but i would be fucking angry if future release suddenly leaked before date. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because we have the original WAV versions and they're better quality than the YouTube rips (better frequency spectrum). 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue Ink 5,907 Posted October 20, 2022 2 hours ago, mlittle11 said: have we considered that the person who stole all this stuff was probably just some criminal n has no knowledge of who they stole from? i know its a bad area so its highly possible. i mean its been 2 months n nothings come out 2 hours ago, Vertimus said: It seems to me unlikely that the thief knew what they took or what they have even now. They may not know how to get the songs off the laptop to post, sell, or leak, and, in not a LDR Stan, certainly won’t know what are new tracks, what are finished tracks, what are incomplete tracks (they may just see the music as iTune-style tracks like many of us have on our phones and Macs). In fact they may delete all the music, photos, and videos to free up space so they can use it themselves, or they may have sold the laptop for food money, drug money, survival money, who knows. The laptop itself may be the only thing of value to them in their own eyes, and the camera or video equipment. But remember that they also have access to Lana's phone, so they know who she is. Hence, they also must know whose laptop they have. Which is creepy because that means they kind of must have known her car or something and stalked her. Or they did not know from the beginning, but looked through the stuff and realized wtf they're holding in their hands. Or, another possibility: In the videos it sounded like the thief and the people hacking her phone were the same person(s), but maybe they actually aren't? Maybe both incidents have nothing to do with each other. I don't think so though. 3 Quote Honey, you make me feel I'm invincible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rosemeadexclusivebbnewyorkcity 2,812 Posted October 20, 2022 Oh they're Youtube rips alright. We have the lossless Cherry Blossom and it's way higher quality than the one on the album. 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackpalmtrees 2,458 Posted October 20, 2022 I just hope the new album will have the “bombastic” Jack songs, what are the chances of this actually happening according to y’all? Please be as delusional as possible i wanna get my hopes up. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluechemtrails 26,781 Posted October 20, 2022 But they might have lost the lossless version and only have the other version. When you have two identical sound files, it's hard to tell which is the original and which is the copy. But well, the fact is that they didn't re-record it. I wonder if the "master version" on Tidal has the same quality? Has anyone tried it out? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are not HQ files 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brightsun 1,263 Posted October 20, 2022 i doubt the new songs came from her laptop it's just some dropbox's hacked shit and i bet the one who stole her shit does not know anything about her he wiped everythign sold her laptop in peaces and moved on and now every leaks make her think it's from her laptop and i don't blame her for this 12 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChaoticLipster 24,618 Posted October 20, 2022 I won’t lie it would be hard not to listen to songs and albums if they leak. I don’t have great self control, but on the other hand it may ruin the experience when she does release it. So I won’t make any promises Lana but I will try my best. 6 Quote Arches are Illusions solid at first glance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
