Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread

i hate the new BAR ending, its so abrupt. the old one was so playful and it sounded soo good. ugh she really ruined it

 

Havent heard it yet and can't wait to hear it. 

I see BAR / TNBAR as a «warning» when it comes to leaked demos, at least for me: Don't get attached too much to those because she likes to play around and take bits and parts of unreleased songs as well and fit them into new songs. Yayo and Black Beauty got new production but kept the lyrics, but it won't always be that way lol

NFR is UV’s sedated cousin.

 

UV is how an extrovert feels when experiencing heartbreak, rage and pure pain. NFR is the introverts version on how they feel the exact same kind of things. There both similar but have clear differences aswell ...

This is a really great way looking at it yeah

No no, here we are!

I'm desperate to know what's the extended version is like... will it have a piano intro or a piano outro? 

Do we need for sure if it will be on all streaming platforms and copies of NFR?

They added 30 secs+ to it... Wonder what those are.

New interview...? maybe? it sounds like some of the lines are direct excerpts from her 2018 zane lowe interview though

She’ll release her next album either two years after nfr or not ever, and at this point I honestly can’t tell which

[Chorli Xbox 7,554]

I guess I'm one of the very few people who loved Lust For Life as well (?). I really loved the hiphop influenced production, lyrics and overall character of the album

[pagancult 147]

Is there a single pop song in existence where the lyrics read well in plain text? Especially with Lana, like...I like her lyricism, for all its occasional (being generous) tackiness, but her music has always been something that's greater than the sum of its parts. 

And this Honeymoon slander is so ugly. It's her (current) best record, and while that may be subject to change come August 30th, y'all need to be respectful until then!

Cannot wait to blast Cinnamon Girl so loud that my ears bleed and I go deaf.

Who knows with her.. But I learned my lesson, this time around: snippets don't mean shit when it comes to an approximate time release for her albums. So we'll probably have a snippet of a new song in February for a 2021 record 

[American Whore 47,864]

She definitely won’t stop making music. There’s no reason to stop, she’s said multiple times she loves her work. She might work on other projects but she definitely won’t leave us now when she’s in her prime. People said this when HM was releasing and here we sit 2 albums later after she released Swan Song saying “I’ll never sing again and you won’t work another day” if The greatest’s lyrics have you concerned at all

[Cacciatore 19,346]

I'm gonna defend the new BAR lyrics to the grave. Are they better than the demo? No, but for me they're just as good. They make sense with the NFR concept and with my fantasy. Y'all tasteless 

[poetic jess 2,323]

Listen to the blackest day instrumental it’s incredible

See, that’s a perfect example of the problem I have with the production on Honeymoon. TBD sounds beautiful in the beginning and it has elements of other songs (like Art Deco) that make it sound consistent, but then those trap beats kick in and it feels like a demo when I hear the instrumentation alone. Rick has produced some great songs for her, but on other tracks on Honeymoon and LFL (on Honeymoon especially) I’ve always felt there was something lacking.

Doin' Time cameo in TG video  She is really consistent this time around with the the aesthetics of the era

ok i would be HERE for a santeria cover

 

Yall here with producers or whatever... i want lana’s next album to be written and produced by whoever wrote “in the cock in the cock in the cockpit i’m your baby”

darla g worly is my favorite producer 

 

bel air is in my top 3 of lana songs          omg 

same!!

 

He didn't ruin them because he barely did anything with them, most of them sound really dry/flat and have this sort of underwhelming and  really subdued sound. I have nothing against a stripped down (or acoustic, if you will) type of sound, but does it have to be this lackluster and basic?

user maxdenhaag continues to provide the correct takes

 

I don't understand the hate for TNBAR's new lyrics. They're cute and California-based now, just like the rest of the record

the thing is, lana is perfectly capable of churning out cute california-based songs till the cows come home; the original BAR was different and intriguing

[PARADIXO 31,710]

what the hell have you all been speaking of HONEYMOON???

See, that’s a perfect example of the problem I have with the production on Honeymoon.

how is an ambient progressive rock electronica masterpiece like TBD a trap demo?¡?

People literally say this every era, yet here we are. Lana is not retiring lol

[damagedlolita 285]

I’m so excited for the music videos

[house of balloons 12,770]

maybe, but this era was on another level of lazy and careless, maybe that's the kind of vibe she was going for, or maybe she just doesn't wanna do shit anymore lmao
