Paradise is Very Fragile
therealmikedealer replied to Elle's topic in Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass
tbh I don't see anything problematic about it but people may associate it with her infamous post -

i wonder if she's being hyperbolic or there's something serious going on also, all these mentions of people calling her 'crazy' hit different now -

for starters, I'm pretty sure the vinyls are not ready yet the masters have to be finalized already (about 90ish days before they're available for purchase) but the artwork can be done a bit later the back cover is digital ofc so they don't need to have access to the finished product for that considering the back cover is less important than the front cover it wouldn't be weird for it to be done first anyway isn't the back cover supposed to mention copyright / label? I guess (if it's legit) it's a pre-print version (which could have been further edited) apparently some lyrics have leaked but it's hard to comment on their authenticity edit: we also don't know how old that material is (no reason to believe it was leaked as soon as it was made)

i don't think it'd take a long time to update a few text strings, add a few images and links (assuming they won't change the entire design overnight, but even if they did, the website is pretty simple) anyway most of the updates are probably already done on an internal version and not yet pushed to production I don't know why they updated the metadata already, that's not really good practice lol

imagine her bringing back the retrofuturistic vibe she first mentioned in Honeymoon (although I don't really see it much there) and LFL (RIP blade runner demo) combined with a post-apocalyptic vibe à la The Greatest and expanding on the guitars giving a UV taste, with BPD/P/Tropico glamor she doesn't wanna hide anymore, where she can make her social commentary more refined than what she hinted at on NFR but less tacky/shallow/messy than on LFL, and giving us a proper self isolation / escape from the world anthem like 13 beaches / swan song concept but mixed with current events and with more poetic and bolder lyrics

the alleged insider on reddit commented (about Santa Monica sinner) : "Hi, not fake but I don't blame people for being skeptical If I'm remembering correctly, this is one of the shorter tracks on the record but it's quite upbeat and I would describe it as jazz-y. Not her typical sound at all." also they said something about an announcement within "next week or so" putting my clown makeup on

I remember when LFL (real) tracklist leaked and everyone thought it was fake, that the titles were weird and oddly hyphenated... so I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be legit since the one who posted it on reddit mentioned the lyrics, assuming they were the og leaker, they must know they're accurate (IF it's real).. and I guess Lana wouldn't bother writing them down for a booklet or anything else really, so it means that possibly someone heard the actual track? lmao also that doesn't sound like a potential single, so someone could've heard the entire album?? sorry for reaching ahhaha

Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread
therealmikedealer replied to Elle's topic in Retired Pre-Release Threads
the single version of FIILY has also production and writing credits by Andrew Watt and Louis Bell... I guess the album version is Jack's work only on the other hand, I doubt they'd replace it on streaming services (at least Apple Music since it has already that version as part of the album, as well as the non extended Hope) do we know where the leak come from? it could be a regional or physical album only thing... iirc only german CDs or something had listed the extended version -
Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread
therealmikedealer replied to Elle's topic in Retired Pre-Release Threads
guys.. I hardly ever comment here; I'm mostly a lurker — but I really need to drop my 2 cents. I couldn't resist and I gave in listening to the recorded through a moldy washcloth during black Friday potato leak... & I've never loved an album so much at first listen. I don't have a single complaint—even the new lyrics in TNBAR fit perfectly. she changed the whole meaning but it's more along the lines of the latter half of the record and it reminds me of Video Games (in how the verses are about what she's living and the chorus more about what she wishes). keeping the old lyrics would have kind of repeated the idea behind the title track, while here she admits how she still wants him cuz she sees him for who he really is (which also gives the other side of what she said in Love song) even closing with her repeating she's still got hope is a brilliant choice. this album is a beautiful blend of lovely reveries mixed with nostalgia and conflicting thoughts about what she's left behind. and it sounds sad in a way she never quite fully explored much: honest and raw, rather than UV and BTD dramatic. -

I know this is so off topic but I fucking need to hear once more the short horror-like strings intro China Palace had posted on their Instagram with that tiger video (that sounded like a HM demo) .. It was beautiful.. Agggghhhhh... Too bad it was deleted like 1 year ago I can't believe nobody had saved that beauty -
