  1. I know it’s another piano ballad, but it still sounds fresh to me. Like Ocean Blvd., the production is fairly minimal, but it’s also undeniably deliberate, with the fat trimmed. The song takes you by the hand as it builds from the unexpected vocal intro to the soaring finale. It’s subtle and refined and gorgeous.
  2. Stellar, gorgeous piano ballad and iconic video. Everything that’s on Blue Banisters thus far is superb. Naysayers are all Philistines. Sure, the instrumentation in these songs can be spare, but the chord progressions, lyrics and songcraft are unparalleled. Dig out your tin ear and appreciate them as they should be.
  3. I have never heard Living Legend or Nectar of the Gods before. My God, I’m in tears. Combined with Cherry Blossom, this is just insane. What gorgeous ballads. This album will be a solid masterpiece after the COCC disappointment.
  4. Couldn't help but notice that Lana looks a bit more full-figured in the new snippet, whilst singing about her voluptuous curves. Combined with the feet on the album cover, I am loving every inch of her.
  5. Fine China is the greatest song Lana has ever written and/or recorded. Have at me.
  6. Haven't seen much reaction to this. What does everyone think?
  7. BTD>UV>NFR>HM>LFL>COCC But they're all superb masterpieces, and not a one is anything less than great. I say that with no bias, obviously.
  8. Don't tell me we're now starting to tear these three superb masterpieces apart. I have been sitting with them for a week and adore all three more than anything on COCC.
  9. I predict that Lana will be nominated for a Grammy for her vocal performance on Blue Banisters. If she isn't, they're friggin tone-deaf.
  10. Day 3 and I am still listening to all three songs on constant replay, but Blue Banisters the most. It's kind of unhealthy how much I love this song. I'll try to distract myself for 30 minutes, then immediately play it again. It's so subtle, with such an incredible soundscape. It's the definition of a song that creeps up on you. And her vocals are some of the best of her career.
  11. Damn I actually kind of loved this cover. The album, not so much.
  12. HAIM is my favorite band at the moment. Any other fans? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esJ-y9n2uno
  13. At 71, he directed 18 episodes of Twin Peaks: The Return, some of his finest work. I'm sure that he will continue to invent as long as his heart is beating.
