love deluxe

how's everyone enjoying NFR now that it's been 8 months (wow, time flies.)? personally, i think Norman Fucking Rockwell! managed to surpass each and every one of her other records in just about every way, but especially from a lyrical standpoint. it's just so good and it even got me writing and playing some music of my own. i think this is in a lot of ways our generation's BIG album. there are many BIG albums of this generation, obviously, but i feel like this is up in that hall of fame, y'know? idk if that makes sense, but that's how I personally feel about it. My favorite songs are venice bitch, the greatest, mariners, happiness, norm, hope, fuck it i love you, cinnamon girl, love song, bartender... basically every song. even the next best american record grew on me despite still not surpassing the demo in my eyes. how to disappear is a beautiful track that just ages better with time, as well. what an album and what an amazing woman. can't wait to see what she does next.

i highly doubt she'll win, but this is honestly really great for her and im so proud she's finally receiving the acclaim she deserves! it definitely took too long, as she has yet to release a lackluster record (even lust for life has some pretty amazing moments and was one of the best albums of that year, which further showcases how talented she is). I'm just really excited to see her gain more public attention and critical acclaim. Norman really is deserving of album of the year, but even if it doesn't win, I'm glad it was at least recognized.

um chile anyways so

people are still talking about NFR's "bad" production. i get not enjoying it but coming onto the site everyday just to spread negativity seems rather pointless. just say "it sounds flat" (which is a reasonable argument) and go.

also I just wanna say that Lana Del Rey has officially gotten to the point where she has too many records for there to be a favorite song for me from her. It's impossible for me. If I had to choose a favorite from each record, it'd probably be

 

Born To Die - Video Games

Paradise - Bel Air

Ultraviolence - Brooklyn Baby

Honeymoon - Freak

Lust For Life - 13 Beaches

Norman Fucking Rockwell - Venice Bitch or Happiness Is A Butterfly

the NFR post-release thread is way more positive and less chaotic so i'm gonna just go back over there lol

Reading everyone's different personal experiences with this record has been so inspiring and beautiful. We don't all agree on things, but that's what makes it special. We all see things differently and I think this thread has done a great job showcasing our individuality and the different wavelengths we all fall under. Luv u all and luv this record with my whole heart. Lana has done a lot for me this year, from me winning the signed UO vinyl, to her responding to my question in a livestream, to finally actually getting to see her live in concert for the first time. It has been a magical time for me, and I hope that for all of you, it has been just as magical if not more. If not, your time will come. I assure you. I've been a fan since 2014, and it took till now for things to really happen. It's been a blast. Luv u all once again.

anyone know where i can cop this merch now that i have money? preferably not too expensive. 

i missed out on the merch table last night and can't find any of it online. any suggestions?

Oh. My. God. I was actually talking to a friend about this and noticed it wasnt on the original setlist, but. How was it?? Did she add more tracks?

she also sang ultraviolence! idk if she's been singing it lately but im pretty sure she hasn't.

she sounded amazing last night. her stage presence was unbelievable and the venue was so beautiful. also, her dress was gorgeous and she was definitely in a better mood last night.

you guys i just got back from lana in Sacramento. she sang west coast!

GUYS IT WAS AMAZING SHE SANG WEST COAST

im on my way to the show <3 so excited

seeing her tonight <3 so excited

i get to see her TONIGHT you guys!!! im so beyond excited I've been waiting for 5 years to finally see my idol and tonight i was awarded the opportunity. im fr so happy and excited.

Make sure you go barricade. There is nothing like catching her eye during the bridge of Blue Jeans

well i have GA floor tickets so let's hope i get barricade or close to it

hope it's a better show than some of the other recent shows

 

honestly i see why people are kinda mad about her shows this tour, especially fans who have been to see her before, but for me it'll be heavenly no matter how tomorrow goes down because at the end of the day every song she's written and released in some way, shape, or form, has had a tremendous impact on my life personally, and to hear it performed live, (even if she half asses it sometimes), will blow me away regardless, i think. im so excited.

im soooo excited to see lana tomorrow for the first time. it's been my dream since 2014 and I'm so grateful for the opportunity.

The screencap I have of the email is too big to post but they said phones are okay, just no cameras. Also camping is prohibited.

thank god omg i was so sad i wasnt gonna get to take pics w my phone

TOMORROW y'all im gonna get to see her for the first time I'm so excited!!!!!

On barricade waitingggg x

have a great time!!!

Lana herself makes fun of abuse when she references it in many of her songs (ultraviolence, diet mountain dew, beautiful player) and it's fine.

she doesn't make fun of it lmao if you think ultraviolence pokes fun at victims of abuse you need a reality check

please don't be rude uwu

if people are gonna joke about child abuse i don't think it's rude of me to put them in their place, but I'll rephrase it so I don't come off as rude: DON'T MAKE JOKES ABOUT ABUSE.

im so excited. only 5 days till i see ldr.

her sister taking mostly bad photos of her is def kind of abuse... hidden jealousx or smth

it is clear she does NOT KNOW the reason why she attacked that woman... she tried to justify... but she failed

please delete your account

she sounded fine idk why ppl are still hating...
