Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread

[Vanilla Icy 29,591]

not complaining but has someone noticed little things on the production? there are parts in some of the songs i feel like the production breaks loud at the same time that her voice and i can't hear her (her diction i think) properly, and the other thing is that in 2 or 3 songs i've noticed the chorus breaks without any transition and i think it doesn't sound good, im ok with it but just asking

yeah some of the songs don’t really flow well

[War In My Mind 2,995]

but she isn't actually in jail right? and if some of you have heard the album, was it a disappointment? 

She isn't in jail, but just the sheer amount of threats she got was enough for her to like delete the post and like hide her account. She posted a story saying she was scared and felt bullied 

[Atomic Piggy 325]

The leaks were expected, since THIS is their security system... I don't think that girl is really the one to blame.

It was pretty much inevitable

[Doll Harlow 12,350]

Waiting two weeks to listen to this is so difficult. 

[PARADIXO 31,595]

I loved it from the start so I'm really happy it didn't end up being trash <3

 

Definitely one of my faves

 

glad to see someone with taste

 

i seriously never understood why people didn't like it at first

I heard she’s DOIN’ TIME (Out now on Spotify!!)

It was so magical and atmospheric and lush

 

I'm glad she didn't share too much like she did with Cinnamon, IYC & HIAB

Just listened to the demo again and...how could she ruin BAR like this? I am committing. 

 

I still can't believe she wrote that new atrocious chorus, looked at the old lyrics and thought "yeah i've made it better" like?????? WHat was going through her goddamn mind? The only possible explanation is that she was on crack, a sane person would never...

And the ending of the song now is so...flat...compared to the old version. 

 

Did she think she was making it more cohesive with the album as a whole by changing it (just to put it after California, which is more in line with the original BAR)?

 

Can we make a petition for her to put the demo on streaming services instead

The production is, at least, controversial. I've noticed many of the things you are pointing, but I guess they were made absolutely on purpose. As well, Lana uses her voice in a way that sounds as she was deeply drugged during most of the recordings -which I think may be actually the reason behind it-. She sings as she doesn't care at all, as if no one is listening to her, and I think that makes the album absolutely special. This has nothing to do with anything she's done before, not even her Lizzy songs. I'm really willing to read the reviews by the big media critics. I guess they won't know how the fuck react to this album either.

[Afterparty 3,025]

i'm sorry but this is Ultraviolence level. Lana is fucking back.

[cherriesinthespring 5,486]

Am I trippin or did we barely get any magazines compared to LFL? And at least one was only about poetry. Maybe she didn’t want to talk about the album and hype up another song before scrapping it ha

I'm about to get a ton of hate...

 

I just feel like while this album has great tracks (cue to NFR, Cinnamon Girl, Venice Bitch, California, The Greatest) so far the other tracks are a bit too similar-ish? Like I understand the desire to make a cohesive piece of work and I'm actually open to Lana going down the conceptual album lane, but this album feels a little dry to me sonically, a bit being too. Now I really want to hear the HQ version of these songs, because to me the production ain't it.

 

[plastiscguy 57,947]

Once the intrumentals leak, I'm editing several songs...

Starting with Cinn*mon and BAR (replacing it with the demo as I should)

 

What she did is homophobia at its worst

[13bitches 6,175]

Just realized that NFR is the only title track that doesn't have a title drop in it. Shook tbh

 

 

 

Choose your last words, this is the last time

'Cause you and I, we were born to die

 

With his ultraviolence

Ultraviolence

Ultraviolence

Ultraviolence

 

Our honeymoon

Our honeymoon

Our honeymoon

 

And our lust for life

And our lust for life

Keeps us alive

Keeps us alive
