Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread

[Formation 4,191]

My reaction to this entire era: Gee whiz!

[love deluxe 8,861]

You could add:

Dream a Little Dream of Me (referenced in FIILY)

Summertime (sort of referenced in Doin Time technically)

Happiness is a Warm Gun (pretty sure it was referenced in VB)

Last Resort (I feel like it’s constantly referenced throughout the album)

dream a little dream of me is on there and happiness is a warm gun was *kinda* referenced in bartender but idk if it's big enough to constitute adding it. also idl what last resort is but I'll add happiness

[LanasLeftCheekFiller 3,382]

her face looks kinda weird idk why but the outfits are amazing!! finally something cute

 

It's because her ears are positioned too low on her head   

[Cacciatore 19,347]

The music video is so amazing, that take where she turns around and smiles at the camera killed me 

[Jared 3,131]

''or the title track, a ballad rich with one-liner gems like, “Your poetry’s bad, and you blame the news” -- songs that represent the best writing in her career yet have almost zero chance of radio play.''

 

 

This is going to be a critical consensus except in far, dark, obscure corners of Lana boards.

Just hear Venice Bitch with a good headphone for the first time. 

so many little details and layers, truly one of her best song. 

Right? Bought a new phone this summer and its headphones are really good and when I was listening to venice mac and west coast there are so many layers hidden vocals and stuff

made a playlist of all the lyrical references lana makes on the album to other songs https://open.spotify.com/user/22hfr4go2pbabzrocl6tlcihi/playlist/3pwYWzYZioshZ4N8eK2BZF?si=GxIyMBViR9qk9qMfNRAH1A

I haven't watched the video yet but The National???  My favourite Sad Dads???  They're one of the best live bands currently touring, if anyone has a chance to see them go for it!

Best new music confirmed   but how do you know that?

[StillOnMyMind 2,059]

What time is the interview with Annie Mac?

[Jared 3,131]

''In many ways, Norman Fucking Rockwell feels like a fulfillment of the groundwork she has spent nearly a decade laying: She is now free to be Lana, no questions asked.''

 

 

 

Billboard gets it.

[Jiggy 1,024]

Goddamn apparently the links for lover are disappearing as soon as they get put up. Lana needs to share more than a producer with Taylor

 

Managed to find a download pretty easily

 

edit,,,, lets leave taylor alone

[Downtown Baby Doll 5,310]

That Billboard shoot is her best photoshoot in...uhhh, since I can remember tbh. She looks AMAAAZING.

[Roll With me 5,667]

I'm not saying we should spread the Lover leak to give Lana a better chance at a #1 but I'm also not not saying it

jk pls dont ban me

 

Don't worry, the album is so bad that it should disappear after first week (wbk people will like it anyway...)

[Cacciatore 19,347]

 

I-

[baddisease 17,924]

Managed to find a download pretty easily

 

Wouldn't it be terrible if someone shared links for it on twitter  

 

don't get a warning point!

while this era has been a mess from start to finish, i feel like lana has continued to constantly feed us amazing content. i mean we didn't get many interviews or photoshoots or a lot of extra shit, but she's doing actual music videos with a lot of effort put into them as well as music (the most important thing here) that is really fresh and unique (even for her). idk i feel like this era compared to the lust for life era is just so much better y'know? even though almost everything this era leaked, lana refuses to let that stop her from serving up a double music video, a radio interview, and a magazine spread today, as well as another radio interview and the album next week. idk i guess it just makes me happy to see her not cracking under pressure and continuing doing what she loves doing: making music.

[Jared 3,131]

“I wasn’t in the mood to write,” she admits. “He wanted me to meet him in some random diner, and I was like, ‘You already worked with everyone else; I don’t know where there’s room for me.’ ” But when Antonoff played her 10 minutes of weird, atmospheric riffs, Del Rey could immediately picture her new album: “A folk record with a little surf twist.”

 

 

 

Reminder that Jack is a GOD!

im straining muscles with this reach but the 'I'll be the man' from The Man - Taylor Swift (Lover) is probably inspired by lana
