why do half of y'all still stan when u don't seem to like any of her music

She's back!!! I love these sm (per usual) and I looooove how off-kilter and bizarre the second one is

QUEEN I've been waiting for your tracklist These are my faves

norman FUCKING rockwell

i usually never even venture into the pre-release threads but i want to talk so much about this era, this concept, her mind, UGH

yeah some of his art presents this super-wholesome image of America and kind of helped shape that image we have today of the 40s and 50s being such clean-cut, warm years i'm a huge fan but that's also why it's so funny and bold of lana to slap "fucking" right in the middle of his name

i already buried the loons they're dead to me like it feels like she's been stalled out but now she's taking a big, definitive step, and i don't think it's one she's gonna retreat from tbh ofc you did! icon!!!!!!!!

GIRL i love this theory so fucking much i'm gonna shed real tears Norman Fucking Rockwell era already making me feel like the drunk girl @ the party telling everyone she loves them.... i have so many feelings rn and they're all positive

I'm so in love with these songs, and all the creative decisions she's making -- I've never been so excited for an album, nonetheless one by Lana. I have so many thoughts right now Like, as much as I loved LFL, it seems like such an anticlimax compared to this. It's fun enough to listen to, but it really does feel empty compared to what she's given us here, already. I already love this for the same reasons I love AKA so damn much: it's Lana pursuing what she's passionate about, creating extremely unique, layered music. There's thought, soul, and inspiration behind it, and it shows. As for how strongly the era is already dividing the fans, I think it's brilliant. I haven't seen such outrage or vitriol directed at Lana for her creative choices since Born to Die, and I think it's absolutely amazing this time around, because she's consciously making provocative decisions. Like, you can't title an album Norman Fucking Rockwell without knowing it's going to give you some hell. This is the same woman, the same provocateur, that once raised eyebrows in the extreme for opening a track with the line "My pussy tastes like Pepsi-Cola". She's back. I love that, especially with Venice Bitch, she's returning to that idea of nostalgia and classic Americana that we haven't seen in years and years, but as someone here said (apologies that I can't remember who), it's matured. She's become the most adept at writing in her own style that she's ever, ever been, successfully combining her starry-eyed view of the past and America (hence the reference to Rockwell, who painted an idealistic, wholesome America) with the reckless abandon and controversial attitude that made her famous in the first place, which leads us to the big ol' "fucking" slapped right in the middle of the name of an American icon. It's heart without excessive sentimentality, and attitude without bitterness. I think these things combined (and things we have yet to see) will propel NFR to classic-level, like Born to Die or moreso -- maybe not in terms of widespread fan adoration, but in terms of being a stylish, smart, thoughtful and timeless record. I'm over the moon

SHE'S REALLY GIVING ME EVERYTHING I WANT I'M GONNA CRY this instrumental is like....maha maha mixed w UV

I thought she said "livestream" instead of "life's dream" "tourlyfe" whom

Here's what I could dig up on where Young Like Me came from: It's not specific or definite, but if this is to be believed, the EPs went from the hands of someone who worked with Lana and knew Rob, directly to the leaker.

imagine not acknowledging Betty Boop Boop as the masterpiece it is smh

I'm so glad he pointed out the lack of excessive reverb on the track -- I think that's been something that's gotten under my skin for a while with Lana's music, but I couldn't pinpoint what was irking me until he mentioned it. And, as much as I love Rick Nowels, I'm really refreshed to hear a new Lana song produced by someone else. Things were getting a little stagnant Anyway, she better work with Mertens again in the future, or I riot

hey guys, I've gone back a few pages looking but I still can't figure out how to attach an Instagram post to my post?? if anyone can help, it would be immensely appreciated xoxo

YES I THOUGHT I'D BE THE ONLY ONE TO NOTICE pmiam is literally my favorite lana song so this makes me so happy

rhcp? laurel canyon? folk? SURF??????????????????? i fucking won mac is a classic and lana's abt to deliver the album i've always wanted. the revenge of lizzy grant, my poor wig, launched into the ocean, etc, etc, i'm so happy

They're amazing live! I saw them in the summer with a couple friends, and they definitely know how to put on a good show -- the energy was unbelievable, and they sounded like total angels. So sweet to the audience, too

I'M LOSING IT AHSHSHSHSHSS this is all i've ever wanted. literally the return of may fuckign jailer with lizzy grant beach overtones i'm thank u lana !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE @@Lana let her out

the lizzy resemblance is STRIKING !! may jailer lives again

i think that made it a really good first step, though. like, sure it's a tad formulaic and cliche, but i think that makes it familiar and palatable enough to warm mainstream audiences up to the idea of lgbt romcoms and such and for the record, i still ate it up and absolutely loved it lmaooooooo
