I agree heartily with No. 14. 

Happy birthday California and How to Disappear 

I'll quote Coyle Girelli: "I tried...to love you. What more can I do?" I appreciate NFR! but do not love it. To me, it's still Lana Reduced or Abridged. 
 
But I'm happy it's brought so much happiness and joy to so many here and across the globe. 
 
Happy birthday, NFR! 

To me, the outro to Cinnamon Girl sounds like thunder, and it's one of my favorite touches on the album, though the song still sounded muffled to me production-wise. I like the production to be crystal clear, especially vocally, as on the refrain to Money Power Glory. 

HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY, DEAR NORMAN FUCKING ROCKWELL!
 
You mean so much to me, this album really reminds me of the last time I was truly happy. Such a beautiful brilliant timeless album with amazing lyrics and great production which had a huge impact on the 2020s era alternative/pop/rock music - almost the same way how Born To Die impacted the 2010s alternative/pop/rock music scene. This was the album where the music critics and general public finally understood her genius and her impact and legacy in the music industry. It truly felt like a renaissance in Lana's career! In my opinion, this is her most universal album. With NFR! experienced the best post-release era ever, I was so happy listening to this album and I was having truly the best time ever, a farewell to the Summer and a welcome to Fall. This was an unbelievable time to be alive, it was top tier. The world finally understood Lana, the world was a huge shining stage for Lana then. And I am so so so proud to have witnessed that. Happiest of Birthdays to Norman Fucking Rockwell and may your impact and legacy continue forever!
 
Shoutout to my favorite songs of this album (although I love all of them): Cinnamon Girl, you will always be famous, I'll never forget the first time listening to this song when it dropped, the orchestral outro shocked me, it was just otherwordly, I was left speechless, Mariners Apartment Complex, Venice Bitch (an iconic 9 minute end-of-the-summer psychedelic folk rock jam!), California, Hope Is A Dangerous Thing, Bartender, The Greatest, Love Song, Happiness Is A Butterfly and many more!
 
Not to mention that the music videos were amazing as well, they had so stunning visuals and themes, those directed by both Chuck Grant and Rich Lee. The music video for FIILY/The Greatest feels like a tribute to Ride!

I'd like to see Lana cover Lilac Wine, which would be a fitting bookend to The Other Woman and their love of Nina Simone. 

It's not my favorite on BB, but that's only because BB has so many great songs to my ears--IYLDWM, VFR, BB, TB, WFWF--I didn't care for Arcadia at first but it's grown on me more than any other of Lana's songs. Enjoy. 

It's inexplicable why some people don't like Arcadia as it appears on BB. It's a matter of taste. Personally, I love it. 
 
About the time of the album's release, one of our members posted something technological that proved that the previously-leaked songs that appear on BB were very in fact very shoddy copies, perhaps previously downloaded and recopied hundreds of times--though there's no proof that they were necessarily ripped from Youtube. 
 
Whatever they are in fact, they aren't high-quality copies that were taken from wherever Lana keeps her original master copies. I assume it's possible the masters were lost, thus the inferior copies were used. 

As someone said yesterday, it is possible that someone in the industry, even in a minor or support role, might have heard several of the tracks, especially as we're moving into the period when the album is/was supposed to be released.
 
Remember the short video of a group of people listening to Candy Necklaces with Jon Batiste among them? Who were all the other people?--not that there was a mob. We don't know; they could have been anyone, even friends of those either invited or there working at the time in some capacity. 
 
Lasso is on lockdown, but not absolute, complete lockdown. It's easy to imagine someone at the label finally hearing one or more tracks and calling in someone else to hear them too. 
 
So that part I can see as realistic. The rest seems rather teasing and harebrained. 

JinnWithin, thanks. We have no way of telling whether what you're conveying is legitimate or not. I can easily see everything you've shared being legitimate, but as many are saying, we've been misled and lied to many times in the past, so we can't take everything you say as gospel truth; in fact, we have to assume it's not true for the sake of our own sanity. 
 
But if you'd like to continue to spill, please do. If it turns out you're correct and have been honest, of course we'll thank you.

Thank you? 

i think alot of people lost hope and are waiting for lana to do something 

Ik this isn’t gonna happen on lasso but I want an orchestra heavy album one day, like the young and beautiful orchestra version. Just Lana, bass, and violin. May be basis because I’m a viola player but I think her orchestral songs are so pretty.

You've got your thinking cap on. Good play. 

Thank you?

Well I think we are chill because based on prior experiences, there is like a 10% chance this is actually real. Like @TheDollClub literally gave a very specific date and descriptions and it still meant nothing so don’t take anything too seriously 

@JinnWithin
 
Thanks for all this info!!! It’s rlly got me more hyped for this project.
 
As you said, no leaked unreleased songs are going to be present on this album. Despite this, are any unleaked unreleased songs going to be on the album (such as Loved You Then and Now)?
 
Also, will any performed songs, such as Hey Blue Baby, I Must Be Stupid for Feeling So Happy and Prettiest Girl in Country Music, be present on this album?
 
many thanks!!
