Blue Banisters will be released on October 22. "Arcadia" is available now.

 

new song not really clicking, not crazy about the Toyota/Land Rover metaphors

but love the album cover with the dogs

Has anyone preordered the album? It’s another release that feels overly expensive to me, about £35 for what appears to be a single vinyl

it's a double vinyl I believe

it was 29.99 at her store I saw earlier

I just preordered the HMV alternate Cover with the Red Vinyl… just like with Chemtrails over the country Club the HMV alternate version is much prettier IMO

'dealer' is the song she literally screams on... i hope she leaves it as that version on twitter stands, although I can't imagine it next to 'Arcadia' lol

It looks like the digital release is on 22nd October as well? (That is the pre-order date on iTunes anyway).

 

I don't know what black magic she has pulled to be able to get another co-ordinated vinyl release only a few months after the release of her last album but she must have a decent shot at getting another #1 album from this still, her last album did have a higher opening week than Biffy Clyro's. It'll be the second week for Coldplay as well although that probably won't be too much of a threat unless this Coldplay album does better than their last.

^ How many copies did Coldplay's latest album sell in its second week?

 

Apart from Paradise, which was a re-issue / EP, Lana has never released an album this late in the year (Q4). I think she is taking a risk with this strategy, what with this being released only 7 months after Chemtrails.

'Everyday Life' did 32.3k in its second week, and for what it's worth that was significantly further into Q4 than they're releasing this time (early December).

'Arcadia' seemingly not attracting much attention even on here? I'm liking it a lot more than the other 3 singles she dropped earlier in the year. (Although a bit of a shame that the sudden bass heavy trap outro from the music video isn't on the actual song on streaming services).

Arcadia is stunning :heart: Can't believe we're getting another Lana album in just under 3 weeks :cheeseblock:

The outro will be available to stream when the album is released! (It's the interlude that's track 4!)

Arcadia doesn't do much for me

 

wonder if there will be a proper single being picked up by R1 or R2, nothing been supported so far...

Apart from the trap breakdown, that song is back to being Honeymoon levels of boring:/ Let's hope for another NFR at some point, as this ain't it.

funnily the 3 songs she released earlier have grown on me immensely, especially Blue Bannisters

 

also Chemtrails the album has grown on me a lot, been listening to it 24/7 and its almost on par with NFR now

'honeymoon' is her best album beside NFR for me...

Same here, they all passed me by on the first few listens but I'm loving them now

Text Book is such a gorgeous opener, and I can definitely hear the Honeymoon comparisons in that :heart:

 

I like Arcadia a lot too but I think it's my least favourite of the four so far

for me Honeymoon is her weakest album by miles and miles and miles

to the point I don't really like any songs, zero, in my head Honeymoon doesn't exist and never happened :o

100% THIS

Generally I don't like her stuff without a bit of a trap or hip-hop edge to it as much. Clearly she likes the acousticy stuff but I like a bit of full cinematic and some dramatic vocal from her the most.

 

I also think some of the stories she tells are more interesting than others.

Honeymoon definitely seems to be the least liked overall, but I really like it! The title track is one of her best ever for me :heart:

I think it’d be my third favourite album of hers after NFR and UV, maybe even edging towards second favourite.
