  1. I don't think anyone has a problem with her believing in God or anything. It's the church she has chosen that's the issue.
  2. There are also a lot of people overhyping it. I get it, because it's shiny and new, but imo there are obvious flaws and it won't be to everyone's taste. I wouldn't go as far as to call it boring, though, and nobody has heard the entire thing in hq yet.
  3. We got this! Sincerely, Shitposter no. 5 --- My friend works at JB Hi-Fi and he said sis' shit is locked in an office. One of his co-workers fucked up and put Lover out for sale 2 days early, so I live in hope.
  4. IMO, not really ... but it's impossible to tell for sure until I hear it in hq. Basically, you can just dismiss ANYTHING she said about the album in terms of descriptions ... imo, she is way off ... but she sucks at describing stuff so I wasn't surprised. I am just not hearing half the influences 'n' shit she said existed. For example, I do not hear RHCP in any of it. Of all the NFR songs, I would put MAC in my top three at this point, although without hq I can't be sure. Obviously this is personal preference only.
  5. I reckon just change the name of the thread to "NFR free-for-all" because that's exactly what this is, and keep it going forever. Something so good should never die.
  6. Seriously, the booklet with the cassette that leaker girl had contained ...
  7. Hang on - aren't you the person who posted that Youtube link about not downloading/listening to leaks? And now ... you've listened to Bartender? Sisssss
  8. Interesting take considering that song didn't leak so you really don't know how it sounds.
  9. That's pretty creepy but so is his new haircut. Actually he hasn't liked any of her shit for ages so maybe she really did dump him because of that moustache and/or haircut.
  10. Yeah, to be fair, I think the whole point is that she is being herself. Except the Muscle Beach Baby bit which is supposed to be over-the-top, and it is.
  11. ... I want to CRY. ETA: But that would mean Jesus is "runnin' out of time" ...
  12. This will be extremely unpopular, possibly as unpopular as my opinions about the swearing in Cherry, but: I really don't like "the culture's lit" lyric in The Greatest. I think it detracts from the beautiful, serious tone that the rest of the song has, and I think it's only there because it rhymes with the next line ("and if this is it"). I don’t think there is any hidden meaning, or if there is, it’s so hidden that that lyric sticks out like a sore thumb.
  13. Well I think the "shoot up my veins in neon", "drink lime green" etc, all ties into the theory that MoreBannedThanYou and I have that "neon" is like ... the lure of fame, money, etc. So in other words, she used to shoot it up, drink it, buy into it. That's why the neon aurora is in the Californian sky in the MV. "Dream a little dream of me" etc ... it's about people having this perception of her that she's rich and famous and everything is wonderful, etc. ETA: Oh yeah and the "I wish that you would hold me or just say that you were mine" is her lamenting that fame can't love her back.
  14. @@MoreCruelThanYou is dead and we were discussing the double MV in the spiritual realm. His spirit sent me his thoughts via the ouija board. It took me 3 days to write it all down. These are our thoughts (okay, mostly his): So remember when she put out the L4L tracklist and all the songs were handwritten in different colours? The red/ pink tracks were coloured by love/passion/ and hopeful undertones (Love & Get Free, etc), the blue tracks were coloured by emotion (In My Feelings, Coachella and Heroin, etc), the yellow (13 Beaches) isn't coloured by anything, it's just her talking real to us, and the green tracks were coloured by being money hungry i.e. songs she thought would sell well (Summer Bummer and Groupie Love, etc). So basically, going by this theory, I think the lime green in the lyrics and on her eyeliner in FIILY is meant to symbolize money taking over her career and her artistic vision. Like she really doesn't want to sing anymore, and might feel forced into performing. This is why she is crying and has tears in her eyes in the water. The ocean and nature are where she feels free, especially in the scenes where she is surfing. But even that freedom is being taken advantage of by her managers and the general public, which is shown through her and Muscle Beach Baby being broadcast "fake surfing" on the TV. Muscle Beach Baby also represents how she feels society pressures her to be associated with a man in order to be successful (which also relates to the reasons she put Duke on the NFR cover. She is trying to reverse the standard of women being eye candy and being a "prop" for men). When she's painting in the video, all the colours are blue or yellow. She purposely doesn't include green because she does not want her art to be affected by sales. The neon green can also be related back to the windbreaker on the NFR cover. The green windbreaker is shielding her from the ocean spray, in the same way that money making tactics are shielding her music from being as authentic as she wants it to be. Her nails are yellow on the NFR cover and in the MV, hearkening back to 13 Beaches being yellow on the Lust for Life handwritten tracklist. She uses her hands and fingers to make art and she wants her art to be "something real" as 13 Beaches states. So basically, Fuck it I love you is the money grabbing song and The Greatest is what she really feels and wants to say from the heart. She is tired and worn out by having to fit into society's (and her managers') archetypal imagery of her in order to make money for them. She just wants to make real art but can't and feels that she has sold out for the gp and is regretting it. Anyway, that's my interpretation of it. -- MoreCruelThanYou
  15. I have already investigated and she has 3 or 4 exes whose heights range frm 6'1 - 6'4. Fuckboy Gerald was the tallest, I think. Nobody was exactly 6'2 but she's never exact, either. I can imagine Fuckboy Gerald thinking his poetry is fantastic and throwing tantrums, though.
  16. Really? I think they're boring and the first one looks like something you'd get at a Bangkok marketplace for 100 baht. Not good enough ... Redbubble here I come
  17. Srsly so many missed opportunities It was never gonna happen but I wanted one that said "ur poetry's bad"
  18. I just woke up and haven't gone back to read the previous pages yet, so I don't know if this has been posted, but someone put each song with a Norman Rockwell painting and it's kinda rad: https://vk.com/ldrey?z=photo-29173834_457326783%2Fwall-29173834_306616
  19. To me, everything Jack Antonoff produces tends to sound ... familiar. I'm not accusing anyone of anything, and I'm not even sure why it does, but it does.
  20. "You wouldn't steal a car" No, but I'd download a car if I could.
