Maybe I'm delusional but I still have hope she will win AOTY. She deserves it, goddamnit

IDK if you guys are familiar with Khruangbin but I hope she goes in a similar direction with this new album, she would sound fucking incredible.

Venice Bitch will forever be my favorite from the record but the title track, fuck. I've been listening to it non-stop. The fact that it has that Disney-like intro and it's sonically so dreamy but the lyrics are sad af. Genius. And she sounds like she's singing in your ear, so beautiful and intimate. If she doesn't win AOTY at least she deserves song of the year for NFR.

Steve and Jack.

I've come to the conclusion that she's trolling us. like for real lol I liked the video but she's def trolling and that's why I love it

It feels like something's ended and I can't put my finger on it exactly. It also feels like she's accepted something about herself that she hasn't before.

That was what I gathered from it as well and I couldn't express it.

I don't know why people can't get over the fact that she's not interested in doing these big budget music videos anymore.

Or that she's "tamed" now. Like I couldn't disagree more, but that's just my opinion.

That was kinda cute! I liked the cgi stuff and some of the shots were actually really nice. I don't understand why wasn't all on super8 film though but anywaaayyysss I'm glad we got this little present. I didn't notice Alex not knowing the lyrics to HIAB lol, wasn't pay too much attention to her friends honestly.

I-

Venice Bitch a weak song? Wtfffff. Lyrically it's not her best by any means but that is not the point of the song imo. Even without the outro VB is beautifully crafted and the melodies are gorgeous. I'm not an Antonoff stan and when I heard she was collaborating with him I was like "hmmm idk about this" but they gave us her most candid album to date. There's just something palpable in her voice that sounds more real. Like she finally let go of the persona she created. That's why I barely listen to Honeymoon, some of the tracks in there are among her best, like the title track, SoC, TLY, but in retrospective it feels like it was Lana Del Rey making a self parody. I don't know.

I'd still make NFR shorter though, she needs to start to filter out songs that don't add to the cohesiveness of a record. And stop sharing fucking snippets.

Anyways, that's just my opinion

how.... does she not know the words to her own songs.......... i-

Bullshit. That's lies she says to not sing new stuff and actually put some effort. In her mind maybe she thinks it's okay cause after the show she hangs out with fans and shit but no.

 

 

Also, apparently quite a lot of people left her Portland show during VB and at the end she said, "thanks for fucking sticking around!" to the people who were still there. So you know, she can turn up 50 minutes late but God forbid people want to beat the stampede out of the venue/on public transport by missing a few minutes of the VB backing track.

Wow. I love her but wtf. Why is she acting like such a brat?

Can you elaborate on this?

I feel like it's the Freak/Cherry of NFR. Don't get me wrong, it's a good song, she sounds amazing and I enjoy it but in my opinion it doesn't fit with the rest of the album, sonically. Especially the outro. I'm glad we have it but in the context of the record it feels a little out of place.

This is dry.

Venice Bitch will forever be my favorite from NFR. It never gets old. Like I'm so glad we have it, it's so beautiful.

Ok since we're all dragging NFR now, like we anticipated...

I love Cinnamon Girl but it's the type of song she needs to stop putting in albums. I've come to enjoy HTD. TNBAR shouldn't be on the album, I was never a big fan of the demo and I don't mind the change in the lyrics. But it sounds so boring, I skip it every time. I wasn't into Bartender very much but I really like it now. The album would be perfect with just 11 tracks. Doin' Time as a song is great but it shouldn't be in the album either. And I'm sorry I know Hope is gorgeous and I get why a lot of people love it, it's beautifully written but I can barely listen to it. So that's that.

Venice Bitch is the best song of her entire career. Even better than Video Games. There I said it.

.

In 2017 that one performance with Adam Cohen was everything, nothing to complain about.

 

That performance was incredibly beautiful, she sounded like a fucking angel. That kind of setting is what suits her best.

Wrong.

 

Her livestream literally a week ago sounded divine.

Looking For America sounded divine.

Almost every festival she's played this year has been sublime.

ETC

I agree about the livestream and LFA. I feel like she sounds better in a more intimate or small venue but festivals not so much. I'm not dragging her though, just saying.

Why are you guys blaming BBC? C'mon now. She's been sounding pretty bad lately in her live performances.

Yeah these live videos ain't it. Idk what's going on with her voice but she seems like she struggles a lot to sing. The Ariana cover sounds slightly better than the Sublime one.

something about her authenticity, the review talked about her multiple personas and lana said she never used one

 

lol

But she did kind of create a persona pretty much until now? Anyways, did she like NFR or not?

So why is sis mad at that reviewer, really? I was at work and it was a super long review, didn't feel like reading it.

Jack is too fun, talented and smart for straights to have him. Can we claim him instead?

 

I feel like he seems to be such a cool dude, like if I was Lana I'd have such a crush on him.

Yep, definitely him! 

Posted on October 5th: At the Red Sox vs Yankee play off game at Fenway Park tonight. We’ll be wishing a mother fcker would.

(Fenway Park is in Boston and Lana was there the day before to watch him train... y'know, down at the training yard...)

How do y'all know everything? You're like the FBI or sum

I know it doesn't matter but I want to see Fantano's review. Looking forward to see him annoyed because he liked the record.

Why is Pitchfork's review taking so long?

Man I miss the NFR pre release thread that was fun

I don't want her to work with Rick or Emile or Dan Heath ever again. Sorry. I'm grateful for the songs they gave us, but... I don't know, that's how I feel.
