Over a month in and I'm loving this album still. Words cannot describe my love. I get so immersed in each track that I forget the rest of the album, then the next song starts and it happens all over again.
-
I literally typed in the discord multiple times that we almost got
God Bless America
Black Beauty
Music to Watch Boys To
Best American Record and
Bird World
good to know no one listens to me
I'm sure I read that Ultraviolence was called 'Melancholia' at one stage....
It is cool to know names we almost got!

Well just mirroring everyone else here - was hoping that the two duets would be replaced with NFR songs.... such a shame.
-
ok but it still sounds to me that ur kissing ass what's ur point
And it sounds like you’re randomly bringing out personal attacks for no reason.
How is it kissing ass to say that the volume change in the instrumental section at 3:32 ish in HTD is done for artistic purposes? That is my interpretation of it. The whole song has an interplay between the vocals and backing.

please!! remove ur head from her ass u will live a significantly more fulfilling life
Wow your rudeness isn’t appreciated. I did say “sounds to ME”.
Throughout the song, there are various production things going on, the production suddenly disappears and changes in the chorus at ‘this is how to disappear’, and to me, (NOTE I SAID ME), the final instrumental section follows the pattern of change and disruption to production in order to give a sense of ending.
-
If you think the very obvious volume increase in HTD was "carefully chosen and placed" to create a "retro and timeless" sound, then there's nothing more to say.
There are glaring technical errors that are not conducive to creating a "retro and timeless" sound. They're mistakes, and anyone with experience in sound production knows it.
Whatever, though. If it's you love it then good for you.
Which increase in volume? The one in the instrumental section right at the end? That one sounds artistic to me without a doubt, so I assume there is another one somewhere else.

This is semi unrelated - but I wish I had this on film, but I installed Apple CarPlay in my car, so I can use Siri to control my music - I said "Play album Norman Fucking Rockwell by Lana Del Rey" and Siri replies "Ok, let's hear Summertime Sadness by Lana Del Rey" and I nearly had a laughing fit cause thats Lana at her live shows ahahahaha.

5. Paradise
6. LFL

How To Disappear is still one of the best songs. Change my mind
Agreed!
NFR is so freaking good, that I struggle to choose one song to listen to off it, I just have to listen to the whole thing

the first time i saw lana it was great to hear btd songs, but also she didn’t have anything else out besides paradise so
i feel like she thinks her concerts are majority locals with the exception of her stalkers at barricade, so she caters to locals on purpose. maybe she’s scared ppl won’t know the other songs. maybe she’s not confident trying out new songs. she should do it anyways tho
I think nerves stop her from being more experimental with her setlist unfortunately...
-
petition to change the medley to Terrence Loves You, Old Money, and Love Song
Brilliant Suggestion.
My ideal setlist is:
- Norman Fucking Rockwell
- Bartender
- Happiness is a Butterfly
- Born to Die/Summertime Sadness
- How to Disappear
- Cherry
- The Greatest
- Pretty When you Cry
- Love Song/Change/Old Money/Terrance Loves You
- Ride
- Brooklyn Baby
- California
- The Blackest Day
- Mariners Apartment Complex
- Music to Watch Boys to
- Cinnamon Girl
- Shades of Cool
- Swan Song
Encore
19. Get Free
20. Video Games
21. Venice Bitch
I mean ideally Video games wouldn't even be on there... but just being realistic
(despite the rest of it being unrealistic)

California is still amazing!I'm really in love with the second prechorus (You scared to win, scared to lose...)Soo good
California is really a masterpiece. It is beautiful and I agree, love that second pre chorus. California is the sister track to The Blackest Day imho.
-
Venice Bitch is amazing! Winter is over in Australia and we had a 30 degree day (Celsius), I was listening to the whole album, and it was all amazing. Venice Bitch is so nice in the afternoon when its warm. Also on afternoon drives. I could have a 30 minute version and would love it <3
She really did bless us with an amazing album.
I wish the greatest had more choruses and verses!!
-
Angel is #1 in 37 countries
Nek minute, Norman Fucking Rockwell, the extended fucking soundtrack edition featuring 'Don't Call Me Angel' and 'Season of the Witch'.
I go hard for Lust For Life and I know based on many comments made from the fan base that I’m in the minority that believes Lust For Life the song is fucking amazing and probably in her top 10 of all time.... but the album as a whole is not better than NFR. sorry not sorry.
LFL (The song) is a banger! Though I would love a version without the weekend.
-
My ranking...
1. California = Venice Bitch = Love Song = Cinnamon Girl = How to Disappear = The Next Best American Record = The Greatest = Happiness is a Butterfly
2. Norman Fucking Rockwell = Mariners Apartment Complex
3. Bartender = Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have, but I have it
4. Fuck it I love you = Doin Time
Huh?
It's not a nod if your song sounds nothing like the song you're attempting to emulate the sound of.
That's a reach. Not a nod.
I disagree.
You can reference another artist, through using a specific instrument, The song doesn't have to sound the same.
-
I disagree. God Only Knows has a completely different sound - it is far more upbeat and surfy. There is literally no similarity between the two songs at all, other than the fact that they both have bells. Maybe God Only Knows is what they were going for, but if so, it didn't work.
Honestly, if you're gonna say that it sounds like God Only Knows then it's also fair to say that it sounds like Jingle Bells, because it's about as similar to the former as it is to the latter.
Didn't say they had the same sound, but that doesn't prevent the use of sleigh bells from being (as I said) a nod to the Beach Boys who used them in multiple songs including Dance, Dance, Dance, I Can Hear Music and God Only Knows.
-
I liked the bit where she said she let her friends listen to NFR to gauge whether or not it was good.
That would include Chase.
Imagine having a boyfriend with a terrible moustache who goes to vitamin IV parties and leads you to believe that the jingle bells in HTD are in any way acceptable.
Stan Larrie 2.0
The jingle bells are acceptable.
After being used to the piano version it was a bit of an adjustment but has really grown on me. As someone else mentioned its a nod to the Beach Boys in God Only Knows and I like that.
-
NFR debuted at number 4 on the Australian aria charts... pretty depressing. Born to Die, Ultraviolence, Honeymoon and Lust for Life all debuted at 1.
Bad timing with Taylor Swift and Tool.

Is it wrong that she could do a concert where all she did was like a 20 minute version of the Blackest Day and I'd be happy with that?
