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.
 

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.

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. 

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...
 

Annie is annoying af with her irrelevant questions, she always ask artists "Why aren't you political??!!1!" 
Like Lana went political on one album and it was also arguably her worst, I don't understand the fascination with artists going down that road.

guys i start school tomorrow wish me luck

Okay, I'm laying on my bed in a very hot night after work... and I'm also pretty sad... and I just listened to the album again. It's my first time listening to it at night; the rest of my listening experiences were during the day. Also, I listened to the album in a very high volume; this time, I decided to listen to it in a moderate, more calm volume.
 
Anyway, I definitely appreciated it much more. My negative opinions are still there... but, I was just listening to it like it's ambient music, chatting with @TheBoss, thinking of stuff... and yeah I liked it much more. Maybe I was too critical. It's really a mood album... Remember when I said I wanted to listen to it taking a ride on my bike at golden hour? I haven't done it yet, but that's exactly how I should give it another try.
 
I have never felt this with a Lana album; such confussion, sadness and disappointment. But oh well, I'm super, super glad now I like it much more than I listened to it in a way, I think, it was meant to be-- alone, tired, sad, in the night. There isn't much to pay attention to; it's just there.
 
Would you guys like me to share what I think it's wrong (and fine) with each track? I mean both, technically and personally.

what would y'all say is the worst track on NFR? For me it's 
 
 
 

But for real though whats the point of doing a music video for DT if Interscope won't send the song to pop radios? The fact they literally let her biggest potential hit go to waste it's just 

Are you ... like ... on Reddit?

She confirmed the UO cover was the first one that her managers eventually rejected

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.
