Venice Jesus Whore

Norman Fucking Rockwell is the best intro song to any of her albums. Born to Die is one of my favorite songs of her's and all of the other albums have pretty good intro songs, but nothing compares to NFR. 
 
Strings come in, get you curious, then here comes a kind of cheery, pretty piano. Then finally, "God damn, man child..." And then you're kinda just sitting there giggling or at least smirking. Next comes, "You fucked me so good that I almost said 'I love you.'" DAAAAMNNN okay!
 
The melodies are beautiful, the lyrics are funny, the piano is perfect for setting the mood. Definitely one of my new favorite songs of her. I'm still blown away.

It a tie between Honeymoon and NFR for me. Honeymoon is haunting, it's almost a horror movie music, and when her low vocals kick in, it's very cinematic as you said. But NFR has those simple but beautiful strings that reach my heart like the arrow of an archer, and the piano makes me feel overwhelmed and melancholic for a few seconds, and then Lana's innocent line "you fucked me so good that I almost said I love you" brings back lightness to the song but it also makes it so heavy and emotional.

I love Melodrama, but NFR deserves to have a higher score on Metacritic.

I think this album might be my favorite, and objectively, it's definitely her best. She's ironed out all of her other weaknesses that were in her past albums. None of her albums sound this mature or refined. There aren't any fillers, and I'm finding it hard to choose just one, or even two, favorites off the album because it's so strong. 
 
I have no qualms about AKA. I love how unique and fun it is, and I think it's a strong album, but it is a tiny bit forgettable sometimes. BTD had really strong singles, but the rest of the album was kinda messy and immature sounding. UV is great, but it's just so dark that it's hard for me to really listen to anymore. I have to be in a mood for that album. Honeymoon was also very good and not as dark as UV, but it was rare that I ever got past The Blackest Day because it's just tiring for me. I liked LFL a lot when it came out because it was lighter, but now it just seems like a messy hodge-podge. It isn't cohesive and kinda sounds immature compared to UV and Honeymoon. I do think though that LFL showed a necessary experimentation where she played with new sounds and old sounds and it got refined to what it is in NFR.

I haven't listened to it in months, I only go back to Heroin and sometimes Get Free 

I can't see myself going back to LFL as a whole record tbh

I guess my opinion is kinda biased from being a longtime Lana fan but this album is lowkey her best when you consider how much it showcases her growth as an artist. Like how can those personal references in the lyrics and Lizzy Grant vocals not be incredibly sentimental to any Lana stan. It'd be interesting to have a non-Lana fan listen to all of her albums back to back and see if this album is just as remarkable to them without fully understanding all the layers this record has to offer.

this NFR made me really realize the fact that LFL really belongs to trash
