Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread

[West Coast 45,793]

lol that's sad honestly im v happy they can experience things like that but BOY that sucks

I find them to be creepy tbh, but I've also read a ton of stories about them getting in the way of other fans, and being rude and pushy, just so they can have their millionth barricade selfie with her... but those are stories for another thread

Maybe her management should start to manage her instead of blaming her fans. I mean they didnt do one single thing until the actual fans urged them to do sth about the leaks.

[Future Jazz 9,194]

Am I the only one disappointed that she didn't change the tour lyfe and babies lyrics in HIAB? Like the songs is beautiful but its lyrical "construction" is very nonsensical, like talking about serial killers and those fans in the same song??

i like that NFR is a mix of a lot of things taken from different points of the era and at the same time remains cohesive. i feel like it was quite short to get done but still spanned over several months and since we had hints of it, i linked it to moments of my personal life and having the tour lyfe still be there is sort of completing the picture to me... it's like she acknowledges every part of the process. and i like that the album feels uncontrolled (the so-called production flaws or this lack of consistency)

So we're doing "you think it's a bad album because you can't twerk to it" again huh???

girl plenty of people on this thread only listen to sad slow music that you can’t twerk to so retire that annoying ass rhetoric rn

[Edelgard 1,819]

Hate to say but none of the songs realllly make sense

Thats basically the charm of Lana

Theyre poetic sentences but don’t always tell a story

that's an interesting way to put it, I would agree to some extent, but "cohesive" is not really a word I would use to describe that

this thread is the fucking funniest thing ever

pure comedy gold

Would be amazing if being a russian's son/daughter made you (I mean, anybody) aware of the dynamics there during soviets union time's. Glad to know that it's that way on your case!

ma'am this is an LDR forum and someone made a soviet russia joke. In soviet russia joke make you i guess

well at least now we know it was delayed bc she was making changes/ tweaking the album. CinnaGod production changed since Oct 2018, as did HTD's. Happiness is a Gutterslut  (jk I love the song) also changed production from January since her IG snippet just ends with "I just wanna dance with you..." whereas in the final version she added "Baby I just wanna dance" Also, does NFR's production on the final version sound different to anyone from the IG snippet?

[TheBoss 13,507]

ED ANSWERED AGAIN:

"Thx.

We have full Universal leaks team on it.

Its sad that people feel the need to do this. Its like stabbing your best friend in the back"

Wow, I'm shook.

A clown, a literal clown.

I don't know if it did change for fact, but it probably sounded different because it was just a recording from her phone? The piano progression before she sings "but you're just a man" sounded a bit more intense, now it sounds more subdued idk, it's hard to tell from that shitty recording.

I love how stream of consciousness Happiness is a Butterfly is . Also, to all of you saying I can't twerk to this album: don't tempt me???

Hope the actual album drops earlier because of this whole mess

Exactly, Lana was never an explicit storyteller, she's more of an abstract, symbolic one. She obviously prefers poetic images and concept-driven songwriting rather than detailed narratives. It's no surprise some lyrics don't seem 'cohesive'.

"It's five o clock somewhere" Lana whispers while drinking cherry coke alone at the bar

I'm going to roll up to the club playing Bartender 

[LanaFlowers 8,752]

Everything leaked except HTD I think.

no one wants this busted hoe

[UltraviolenceBaby 5,014]

i didn't listen to the snippets

or any unofficial released songs

lana should reward me with a fucking boxset cuz i really want it

[love deluxe 8,861]

also, as much as i want her to drop the album early bc of the leak, i HIGHLY doubt she's going to. if anything, i feel like she might delay it, but that'll only backfire because it's just gonna leak in HQ before it drops anyways, so idk.
