Surely it must be leaking soon if record stores have it That two week delay really was a miss lol, like who cares if Miley "beats" her, Lana's dropping album of the century no one will give a shit about Flowers in the future

So the moral of the story is make friends with people who work at record stores ASAP

WHAT!!! omgomgomg so excited for you!! When's it gonna be my turn to trade packages

Does that mean you did trade packages??

@love deluxe I really like it! I went to reply to your question earlier but it was gone haha. I think it's very evocative and I see the Lana inspiration

Listening to Setting Sail on a Distant Horizon right after Fingertips is so beautiful

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.
