I just ordered it, is FNAC legit? I mean I'm from Canada, I hope I receive it in time, or at all

I guess I'm getting used to this album as a mood record... but to me some of the production and that mixing is not it.

80th on 89 songs... and Coachella is ranked at 37th

Well... yeah the songwriting feels much more introspective for sure, but with all the nods to her previous songs/albums. Doesn't have that brand new feeling about it.

I honestly can't with some of y'all. Acting like this is an adventurous album lmao. It's literally halfway between Ultraviolence and Honeymoon, like the subdued soft melodies, but with a "rockier", stripped down guitar influenced sound, like we haven't heard that from Lana before. Nothing groundbreaking (and with a touch of heavy beats on some tracks so: reminiscent of Born To Die and Lust for Life too). Also it's a fucking acoustic album, this is literally the musical equivalent to the Miranda Priestly quote "Florals for Spring? Groundbreaking..." It's a good album, but to act as if Lana is re-inventing a whole genre or venturing into unknown territory is fucking laughable.

Agree, there are people ready to jump of both sides of the fence, and I'm at peace with that. I'd much rather have lively (but civilized) discussions about our likes and dislikes, than feeling like this community is just dead.

If I go, might as well go in a blaze of glory!

You like both albums, yet you mock the stans. Alright. Also, aren't you the stan that was going on tangents yesterday and had this whole theory about Lana being held captive in Interscope's basement? Not saying you're delusional... but that was a delusional moment.

noah fence but has Lana delivered vocals after Ultraviolence?

Agree, but sometimes as a producer don't you put your feet down and try to make a point for the betterment of the project you're working on? I mean I very much imagine Lana being a bit stubborn in the studio and wanting things to work her way, and from what I head she had fights while working on Ultraviolence because I imagine Dan Auerbach being as equally stubborn... and look how it turned out to be? For NFR I feel like both of them were feeling going for this "quality", so I blame the both of them (but Jack I blame you the most).

Honestly it's just hilarious how you're always using Honeymoon and Ultraviolence as some sort of leverage to make something that NFR is not. Which also begs the question, if you don't like these albums all that much, what's got you into Lana, sorry but like you jumped from Born To Die right to L*st for Life? Norman Fucking Rockwell is a cute album, but it ain't aaall it. We all know that if Lana was not at the receiving end of all that hatred in the beginning of her career she would've had critical acclaims after critical acclaims, and THAT is a fact.

Finally someone that gets it. I did write a short (but lenghty review lol) yesterday, and like it's a good album, definitely not saying it's her best. There are just artistic decisions that were made that I find to be very sub par, and like... cheap.

Ok, werk.

true, but somehow it just created a nice voice "filter" on NFR she sounds muffled and drowned in hazy instrumentals. Edit: there are parts where the her voice sounds like it was recorded with the cheapest microphones too.

All these stans making it sound like this is her Magum Opus while I'm over here enjoying just a few tracks and thinking that the production and mixing of the album falls flat and sounds downright terrible at times...

that was the epitome of California shit though, talking about driving down to San Diego then Disneyland ads and shit

"most adventurous album" I'M.....

So I just came back from a car drive...

aren't you the stan holding some stupid grudge against Interscope/Polydor though? Talking about excuses.

You do realize that critics are literally just starting to soften up to Lana, right? Like up until LFL most of them held some stupid grudge against her based on all the bullshit that happened and was said in 2011/12. Which clearly tainted their judgement of all her music. West Coast is a revoluationary song (mark my fucking words) but it didn't really create the waves it should've. Song of the year in 2014. I venture to say that if Ultraviolence came out this year it would probably have a rate near 90% on Metacritic.
