Reputation from BluVelvUnderground - Page 6 - LanaBoards

The reactions to the leak in this forum is giving me major deja vu to when NFR! first leaked. There was a similar vibe in that it was so soft rock compared to her previous releases, and then a bit of spicy divisiveness over which tracks were the best, and a lot of statements on which songs should be removed.

I take this as a positive, since it's proving the album isn't boring, and I think pared with the reviews (which have been generally positive), that the album is going to be a grower and eventually reach the reputation NFR! has. Do I think the critics will put it as high as that one? Probably not, it seems more introspective and without an overall commentary that they tend to eat up (it was years ago, but my receipts are here somewhere in early 2019, I predicted it's acclaim based on the singles almost a year in advance.)

In general, the way critics are comparing it to Leonard Cohen, and the fans have been kind of scratching their heads and praising the lyrics in equal measure - this feels like one of those mid-career releases that singer-songwriters do that doesn't become a "best of all time" thing, but that generally most agree is a strong statement and personal denouement that only a great can convince a major label to release.

This is about all I have to say, at the moment. I'm excited for the record based on the reaction. NFR! ended up being way better than I ever expected it to be, so y'all responding to it the way you are makes me think there's something special and unique to take in - which is nice after the laidback and predictable (not in a bad way) period of COCC and BB.
