This sounds so much better in HQ

I still don't understand everyone's obsession with Ultraviolence tbh

Same

Lana's music doesn't age terribly at all for me, so I'm never worried about the music becoming less fresh when it comes out. Paradise is her only record that has really "aged" for me, but not THAT badly that I refuse to listen to it. 

FIILY's beat almost reminds of Religion

The clip overall reminds me of a more pop version of Million Dollar Man

*BAR

Let's not start this

yeah. i think what happened for me is that i loved ultraviolence and still do, but i then rediscovered honeymoon last year (when i was uh.. 29) and felt "actually... this record is her maturing and echoes a lot of the old greats. fuck.. why didn't i appreciate it as much at the time."

I usually look at records as a whole, so when an album is super cohesive in quality or sound, it ranks higher for me than an album such as Ultraviolence that has some of her career best, but doesn't keep up with the same quality throughout. Ultraviolence just kind of...falls flat for me when Sad Girl comes on. Honeymoon is a tight, sonically cohesive record with a poetic landscape. 

Ah that's not bad. Tried to find something but honestly nothing showed up so at this point I'll just wait I guess.

But nice there were no huge meltdowns from what I've seem. Apart from HTD lol.

They might be floating around on Twitter? The snippets really shocked me by how great they sound. In my opinion it will be one of, if not her best works to date. 

Norman Fucking Rockwell topped Ultraviolence... I’m sorry. It’s just the truth. When Lana experiments with new producers she births the most beautiful pieces ever. Her and Jack have really created a cohesive album filled with magic and turbulence and the most raw emotion.

I think Honeymoon topped Ultraviolence for me, but these things are subjective and otherwise I agree. NFR definitely sounds like her best work to date

Curious about How To Disapear. Haven't listened to anything, was it some sort of illegal leak or some site just fucked up and put it earlier?

A random site accidentally put them up early for two/three hours

Here we go with the trinities and the song rankings when the full tracks aren't even out yet

A cycle of madness

Oh wow even Jack is there... guess they're going straight to the studio after this to continue working on LDR7 

October 2021 but she'll tease the first song on August 31st 2019 

These snippets are so good that it almost feels like her swan song album

Ooh, be my once in a lifetime

Lying on your chest, in my party dress

I'm a fucking mess but I 

All of this is a mess, but comparing TNBAR to.. blackest day??

Anyway they need to cut the bullshit and just say they hear things in terms of 'slow' (blackest day) 'faster with a beat' (summer bummer) and... I really don't get the connection between MAC and UV. At all. Clowns.

Literally. Fools

every song on this album can be tied back to another usually superior song on her discography. Mariners Apartment Complex sounds like Ultraviolence,

Next Best American Record (demo) sounds like The Blackest Day, Cinnamon Girl sounds like Summer Bummer, etc. not saying it won't be an amazing album but it's getting a bit repetitive which is why she is only left with her core fanbase this time around unlike the last album.  

ATRL 

The new version of BAR is better than the original. There, I said it

They're of the same quality to me. Literally the same song with different lyrics set for a different time in her life lol, I don't get the meltdowns.

the second half, well tracks 6-14 > the first half

Me after hearing Love Song, California and The Greatest

Lana may have taken a while to put this record out but it’s evident she cares very much about it and put a lot of effort into making sure she loved each track and that they’re all quality and cohesive with this 50’s beach surf theme. I’m so EXCITED

Agreed. The wait was pure torture, but after listening to these snippets, it's definitely going to be worth it.

 

this is easily going to be her best album.

 

Told y'all. 

I feel like Bartender is going to explode

California still has me trembling a little bit. 

Love Song quite possibly has my favorite chorus of Lana's. Ever. It's so fucking dreamy.

Here's the snippets for anyone who missed it:

You're the best 

I'm so glad that I changed my username to the best song on Norman Fucking Rockwell. My power.
