Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread

[baddisease 16,017]

You're using the old standards. Digital platforms changed the standards for how releases are classified. Anything between 1 to 3 tracks in length is a single (with or without b-sides), anything 4 to 8 tracks in length is an EP and anything with 9 or more tracks in length is an LP. The standard edition of Paradise is 8 tracks. Therefore, it is an EP.

 

It's an LP because Burning Desire is the 9th track.

[Terrence Loves Me 71,809]

Although BTD and Paradise sound similar and are the same lyrically, they're still two different era's. I would say it's an era with an add on, think of a dildo with a strap on. It does the same thing, but just spices it up a bit. That's basically all Paradise is (EP).

 

Born To Die is about money, cars, boyfriends and roses. Paradise was more of an experimental EP about the story of adam and eve

It's an LP because Burning Desire is the 9th track.

It is not an LP. I've literally NEVER seen Burning Desire on the Paradise tracklist. Its not on Spotify, any Vinyl release, the CD, - barely anything, it's almost a myth to me

[Tragic Rabbit 3,355]

When someone asks me which album had the best visuals, it is more convenient for me to say 'Born To Die: The Paradise Edition". Since both BTD & Paradise had the best visuals Lana created. They there cinematic & storyline based.

 

During A.K.A, they were Super 8 homemade recordings.

 

During UV, they were cinematic but based on creating a "feel" instead of having a soryline.

 

L4L had the worst visuals & that's the tea. The trailer was cute & LOVE was okay but nothing really happened in it (the production was good tho).

you may as well just say "born to die and paradise" though lol

[Jean 4,117]

Ugh...

 

Anyway, I wonder what will NFR album cover look like. I literally have no idea what to expect.

No cuz then that would be 2 different projects & I see them as one single era. Epitome of Lana's discography & videography.

How is it not an LP if it technically does have a 9th track? Burning Desire is on iTunes.

watch the cover be that photo of her sitting by the road (i wouldn't be mad tho  )

[Terrence Loves Me 71,809]

which they are, hence why they were released months apart

You know what, I hate you

[Serene Queen 4,776]

Paradise is an EP, but a separate project from BTD!

[Jean 4,117]

I would.

[Masochism 15,400]

the cover must be textless and in black and white. or maybe light tones. i would love something like the Mac cover but she needs to be prepared or something i dont want a “just woke up” selfie as an album cover.

[Surf Noir 190,940]

I want the cover to follow her theme of her sitting front profile with some pretty scenery behind her. 

[ilovetati 15,295]

Lana herself said she sees Paradise as an extension of BTD, so that’s that on that

[nabokov 52]

If MAC is anything to go by, i think this new album will be her most experimental album yet. 

I thought the total opposite o: MAC sounds like a typical 90s/2000s soft rock song to me (better though). Her music has had such a unique, distinctive sound until recently.

It's an extension yes but still an EP, thus it shouldn't be counted when comparing her LP's

[Jean 4,117]

I really hope she'll be in front of/inside the car on the cover. And I do want text, but I doubt it'll happen cause it would look like a mess. Imagine her pic in the center and above her "Lana Del Rey" and below her "Norman Fucking Rockwell". MESS.

 

I'll change the name of the album, anyway.

UV > HM > NFR ≥ BTD > LFL

 

(so far at least)
