barttttender Posted August 18, 2023 Posted August 18, 2023 That's right, boys and girls (and non-binaries) of the Lanaverse, it's time to re-arrange! I'll begin. The Blackest Day Honeymoon >> Ultraviolence. With its rock sound and dark themes, this track woulda fit perfectly in the second half of UV. Even more perfect when you remember the mention of a gun right off the bat in Cruel World ("You got your bible and your gun"), and Blackest Day is, in a way, a revenge song ("Carry me home, got my new car and my gun... I got you, I got you where I want you now"). As a die-hard fan of Blackest Day, this would have made UV a much stronger record (not that it's not strong anyway) Margaret Ocean Boulevard >> Chemtrails. Folksy sound, Lana and Antonoff singing together, the super languid pace, the Midwest vibe... This would have made the short second half of Chemtrails feel hell of a lot more substantial Florida Kilos Ultraviolence >> Born to Die. Need I explain? Ridin' Unreleased >> Born to Die. Need I explain? Serial Killer Unreleased >> Born to Die. Need I explain? It's certainly better than the overproduced mess that is Lolita Hollywood Unreleased >> Honeymoon. With lyrics like "In Hollywood, I'm alive again" and the sunny LA production), it'll always be a mystery why Lana didn't add this banger to the southern gothic melodrama that is Honeymoon. Especially when you think track 1 mentions Wilshire Boulevard and this could have fit right after or just after Music to Watch Boys to. It would have done wonders to speed up the pace of this record, and made a delightful prelude to High by the Beach. Maybe a re-issue one day, Lanita. Any other ideas, boys and girls? 5 Quote
Glitter Boy Posted August 18, 2023 Posted August 18, 2023 I mean, even with how eclectic Lust for Life is as a record, I still think both Yosemite and Best American Record really fit with their sound. Both in the second half, they sound cohesive around tracks like BPBP or TNC, with that folk essence to them. I'm still glad both got released, and Yosemite blends greatly in Chemtrails, but I will always feel them closer to Lust for Life than to the albums they got released in. No wonder that LFL, Chemtrails and Norman are my favourite albums of hers though, I think that sound is where she shines the most. 15 Quote "I'm wild, I'm free, no man can handle me"
cherryblossoms Posted August 18, 2023 Posted August 18, 2023 Let The Light In should be on Chemtrails imo 3 Quote

Although, LFL (conceptually) couldn't have handled another dreary song like Yosemite, not after Change and Heroin, it would have been to much imo. The Next Best American record could have replaced Coachella, which I still think is the lowest point of LFL. 11 minutes ago, cherryblossoms said: Let The Light In should be on Chemtrails imo I was thinking about that too! It could have added some panache.With that track and Margaret, Chemtrails would have been an incredible record. 1 Quote

shadesofloveduthenandnow Posted August 19, 2023 Posted August 19, 2023 I’ve said it before but Miss Bartender feels more at home on COCC than NFR. The stripped arrangement and themes of avoiding fame/the paparazzi put it right at home imo 5 Quote

Veinsineon Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 I think all the grandma songs on BB should’ve been on Tunnel and all the deep cuts + dealer, A&W, Paris Texas, & Watercolour eyes should’ve been on Rock Candy Sweet 4 Quote

Ultra Violet Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 Yosemite belonged on LFL no matter what her reservations were! To me, it didn't make sense on chemtrails at all. It might have even been better on NFR than chemtrails. 3 Quote

Fucking love that song! What a melody (and lyrics). It's a jewel 1 minute ago, lanaismamom said: fucking yes i think u need ahahah. Well, it's a pop song, about drugs, and it's got a dope beat. And it just doesn't go well with uv's rock sound even as a bonus track. I reckon it belongs on BTD more than any other record. 2 Quote

The Siren Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 For this type of rearranging I'd need to think logically. I can't have a song written/recorded in 2020 moved to an album released in 2012. 4 minutes ago, barttttender said: ahahah. Well, it's a pop song, about drugs, and it's got a dope beat.

God-awful vocals, terrible melody, mega lazy production. In fact, there is no production on that song. Why on earth would anyone want that song on any album? It's a football club hymn and not even a good one at that 0 Quote

Lolita is a mess and serial killer, driving in cars with boys or ridin' shoulda taken its place. Even backfire Your Girl being on UV is my second fav point to come out of this thread. It would have fit perfectly! It's crazy how she scrapped that and added guns and roses instead And diddo on the Bb tracks. But then, for me, that whole album should have been scrapped 1 Quote
