It's so funny that during a really interesting conversation with multiple users engaged, there's always someone who will simplify it and tell people to touch grass. Like, we will, but you should probably stop at the library on the way home from the park as well if that's all you can add.

At the end of Lust for Life, Lana makes a commitment to be happier, so a lot of the vibe of Norman has this easy-breezy feeling, but there's often anxiety simmering beneath the surface in a lot of the songs. Finally on the greatest, she's totally burnt out as the world collapses all around her, and she's forced to re-evaluate everything once again, ending with Hope, her most introspective song at the time and the beginning of this really heavy soul-searching that she's doing now.

Norman is darker than you think but that's a conversation for another thread

this that and the other

I personally feel from the three songs I've heard that this is her darkest work yet. It's about finally unpacking the things she wasn't ready to face and really putting herself through the emotional wringer. There's a weight to it that I don't think she's explored before. That being said, I think she will balance a lot of emotions throughout the record and the ultimate takeaway will be one of hope, strength, love for yourself and others.

Fingertips

The way some people put no effort into understanding something is the only problematic/cringe thing I see here

Same, I'm actually so glad I listened because now I have no temptation to hear anything else until the whole album is available and this song is so complex that it seems right to spend some time alone with it.

OMG @Fingertips

At this point someone should just leak it and put this situation out of its misery

The way I had just decided to peacefully embrace my fate and walk to the water for @Fingertips at sunset and now this absolute shitshow has been unleashed

I feel like we're on the dark web at this point

I'm not talking about her, I'm talking about the absolute insanity happening over there

This is so embarrassing/pathetic to witness.

Leaking the album in general is obviously not good but this is such a disturbed way to do it, these people need help

Anxiety

This leak rollout is unhinged to the 9th degree

This sounds like what I need right about now

I will

I'm probably going to crack and listen to Fingertips tonight, I can't handle the wait seeing all your reactions. I thought I was stronger but I'm simply not I will draw the line there though until the whole thing is available.

On the off chance that I can't control myself (which let's be real is likely when I'm drunk this weekend) and allow myself to listen to just one, which do I pick? Sweet since it seems like the simplest, The Grants because it opens the album, or Fingertips because it's the densest and needs the most time to to process
