lana going from being judged, ridiculed and misunderstood to being praised and understood (publicly, by most) i- 

Happy 3800   

HAPPY 3800

im emotional, i love u all. this has been so much fun. im alone in my bedroom with 2 and a half hours to go and im trying to think of things to do to kill the time. cant believe we made it

Also when the doin time mv was released the first thing i did was download it immeditaly im case it was released by accident again and gets taken down

Happy 3800!!
We almost made it to 4000 but passing the Charli XCX thread is still quite a feat. We did that. Lana did that with NFR. It's been a journey :'(

“Lana Del Rey always knew how fucked we are. And if we’re just catching up now, that’s our fault, not hers.” And that’s the goddamn truth.

Let's say its deserved to be in the holy trinity: UV-HM-NFR!  But it's such a good album. Truly a masterpiece
Personally I'm not sure sure if it topped UV/HM bet I will know it after few listens. But it has the ability to top them

PT. II

How the fuck is it that the title track just keeps getting better and better after each listen? Like how the fuck does she do it! How Sway!!! Fuck the ending vocals Jesus Fucking Christ is what the album should be named.
And then it flows perfectly into MAC, and the way MAC flows so perfectly into VB... WHEWWWWWWW

Can she get an AOTY nom like Melodrama tho??? I feel like she deserves it but will get snubbed. She's GOTTA get into Pop Vocal or Alternative tho

waiting for nfr delux with new tracks, just want more

Your willpower must be amazing

This is iconic.ICONIC

Just noticed there’s a “venice” sign in don time mv
 
Queen really makes sure we don’t forget what her best song is

The acclaim Hope is getting is insane. A true dark horse of the album. It's funny, especially after all the bashing it received here 
 
Poor Venice Bitch and The Greatest 

It’s gonna be her most acclaimed album for sure!

WHEW the Stereogum,,,,
 
she's getting what she deserves 

It really DOES right? I think it's honestly topped both UV and HM for me. Not sure yet.. But almost sure. It's just so amazing

Your willpower must be amazing

THE INTRO OF CALI FUCKING FORNIA and the chorus

Could California be December 2016 - March 2017?

Much like my old Timeline of LFL songs thread, I will be attempting to create a very rough and questionable (at times) list going in chronological order of the creation of songs on NFR. Of course, we only know about when a handful of songs were written so this is kind of messy.
 
Early 2015 - November 2016:
The Next Best American Record [Lana mentions "you did it all for fame" being the title track of the album to a leaker in November 2016, putting the songs recording to about early to mid 2016.] Sylvia Plath [Lana talks about the history of this song in an interview saying she fine tuned it's lyrics over 3 years, giving a rough estimate of the song's beginnings around this time.] March 2017 - July 2017:
Mariners Apartment Complex [Pure speculation, but Lana talked about this song noting it was written after a guy she was seeing made a comment she didn't like. We know she's been with Chase since early 2018 meaning the guy before that would've been G-Eazy, which puts this song around the time of their fling. Would also make sense since it contains a Yosemite lyric]  
December 2017 - January 2018:
Bartender [Lana first mentions having done this track at an awards show but not having an album to stick it to at that moment. It was recorded with Rick before Jack's entrance into the album] Love Song [Lana spoke about going to record this song with Jack at his studio the day after reconnecting with him (January 29th, 2018)] January 2018 - February 2018: 
Sylvia Plath (First Recording?) [Lana has also mentioned recording a song with a Jack that she had written. It's unknown if this was the first time Hope was recorded] March 2018:
Norman Fucking Rockwell [Lana mentioned in September 2018 that she got the title track of the record down in March.] Happiness is a Butterfly [Lana posts the first very rough sounding snippet of HIAB in late March, giving a good estimate of the recording happening either that day or that week.] October 2018 - January 2019:
How to Disappear [Lana first teased this track on her Instagram with it's piano demo in October, which gives it's recording date around that time. The song can then be heard being worked on in a livestream done by Del Rey which featured Jack in January 2019. Lana also stated it was the last song recorded for the album in an interview taking place in December 2018, though that was before she went back and added more to the record.] February 2019 - April 2019:
Fuck It, I Love You [The last song recorded, we know it was around this time due to the information  below on Doin' Time] Doin' Time [Recorded around this time, Lana has said it was done just as the album was finished. To which she went back and re-did the tracklist to include it.] Tracks I really can't determine:
California [since it was with a different producer, we really have nothing to go off of to determine it's recording date.]
The Greatest [Anytime after January 29th, 2018. Since that was the first day she worked with Jack. Mentions of Hawaii missing the fireball could denote it's writing taking place around January 2018, though the Kanye west fiasco didn't happen until October.]
Venice Bitch [Anytime after January 29th, 2018. Since that was the first day she worked with Jack]
 
Again, this is based on loose information. We know how Lana is with dates and stuff, plus songs can go through many many different variations and demos and could've been sat on for years, like Hope was, until it gets re-done.

Here's the LFL timeline thread if you wanna check that out:

And with every listen it gets better

I can't believe I'll be writing my goodbye post in a few hours and it'll be on page 3830 or something    but a girl can dream
