I need UV BOX SET TIER for this one. yes bc i want it, but also bc the music's just been so good 

Haha the UV box set is the one I like the least of all her box sets... Didn’t think it offered that much if you bought the UO vinyl... 

But I hope, like you do, that there’s gonna be a cute bundle for this album (Chemtrails’s box set was better in real than in photographs). I really like the LFL box set, but a BB box set would need to have a professional photoshoot for it to exist, because ten lithographs of that damn selfie just won’t do it

I don't think there will be any Chemtrails outtakes on the album (other than LYTAN or whatever and I think it will sound different and that's why it didn't make it into the final tracklist). More than songs for Chemtrails I think these first 3 songs are just a natural progression on the topics Lana wants to talk about now. She used to talk about her life and stories but in a more abstract way and now she's going straight to the point with the storytelling.

Yes, not necessarily written for COTCC, what made me think that they could belong to that album is the fact that the topics that she addresses and that she mentions her most intimate social circle in BB and WW could mean that they were destined for chemtrails, or they were just ideas that she had in that course of time and couldn't add to chemtrails because it was already finished.

Yes, TB -> WW -> BB is the elite way to listen to these songs

I might've mispoke but I meant the vinyl box set w the FLORAL vinyl ahhhhhhhhhhh and yeah I got both versions so so good 
the chemtrails box set was actually pretty cute I liked it and the logo gave it a great vibe. 

SERIOUSLY tho. we need at least diff location pics or, just more photos to supplement another vinyl box set. UV. more of that quality

the only thing I'm gonna expect from this album is no country at all

otherwise I think I might get disappointed because as much as I'm obsessed with the new songs and can't stop thinking about them, I wish the rest of the album would be bomb ass synths electric guitars violence psychedelic bitch fuck you critics. but I guess it's gonna be more lowkey like chemtrails and I'm okay with that if it's the case I'm just not raising expectations for something that most likely is not happening this time around anymore (prove me wrong lana)

If you listen carefully to Text Book and Wildflower, there are some light “country-ish” elements in the production. Just cute enough to not dwelve entirely into that genre. I’d be on board for a Mike Dean country-psychedelia grower, a bit like Madonna did with Don’t Tell Me (since I saw that he was mastering a 7-min track on his IG, I want that song to be for Lana and be something soaring )

Blue bannisters feels so much as a closure of the album, i’d love to see the title being the final track 

[Fingertips]

I have to agree with y'all, I don't really see Blue Banisters as an opening track. It should come after Textbook and Wildflower Wildfire as track 3, or it would even be a great closer

You are at a forum where the discussion is open, so if the manners you use are offensive, be sure I'll speak!

I never know where to put what songs where... Like I would never have placed hope as the closer to NFR...  But right now, I see the three songs we got in the beginning of the album, which would tell the story of her quarantine / pandemic life : the three singles forming a big réflexion while on pause and the second half being lighter because she found happiness... 

[necessary sacrifice]

I really like the idea of Blue Banisters being the closer, ending the album with her banisters being painted from blue to green and grey.

just reading it makes me wanna cry

If she continues the title track placement pattern, and Blue Banisters is the opening, I may have some re-arranging to do because the sudden opening doesn't make sense

for once that i really wish she breaks one of her traditions, bb isn’t giving opening track at all

It really isn't. I really like the order of Text Book -> Wildflower -> BB, but we all know that "THERE'S A PICTURE ON THE WALL" is going to open smh

i don't wish she breaks the tradition, i wish she changes the title of the album and give us a proper title track opening

Yes please 

[lemonadetan]

i can see cherry blossom being a cute lullaby closing the album 

[palemoonbaby]

Blue Banisters gives me closing track too. I wouldn't mind breaking the tradition 1-2-1-2.

[Fingertips]

I realized that I don't think F*ntano likes the "moaning" type tracks she makes

 

He still has a problem with Ultraviolence to this day, and I know there's been some debate about whether Wildflower is good or not, but that is the closest track we've been to Ultraviolence energy in a long time

[NikoGo]

I know this is super delusional and the only ‘source’ of this was Darla, but what if RCS (or whatever it’s called) comes out next week with a video 

 

the ‘insider’ (and yes I know they were fake so don’t @ me) mentioned hearing the four songs and that was early in the week when we still assumed Blue Banisters was going to have a video

 

maybe what BOZ couldn’t believe she was doing was releasing three buzz singles and then the ‘lead’ single a couple weeks later
