Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread

[Kommander 3,260]

Bartender is so fresh and very Joni Mitchell circa Ladies of the Canyon... fittingly. I thought they were gonna push the psychedelic button and add strings / whatever, which I guess is frustrating, but it does have its own charm as an accoustic, and it underlines its continuity with Happiness is a Butterfly. These tracks are like, I don't know, leveling up her game... Makes me very excited for what's to come and the poetry book actually

Was it not though? He’s literally like the highest level of fame you can get now on account of his marriage into the kardashian family, and I’m pretty sure I read that they helped fund his venture into the fashion industry... I’m not even tryna be shady but you can’t deny that him marrying Kim k has really brought him into the spotlight more than ever b4

 

that's only true if you're completely ignorant about the rap genre of music.

I remember that when LFL came out I actually played it a lot during the first week and fell in love with most of the tracks, but this time I'm not really interesting on replaying the whole album. I guess I'll just shuffle my monthly playlist waiting for a song to pop up, but I just don't feel like this album is interesting enough. Some songs are tbh poorly executed and that just kinda messed up the experience. I'm very surprised by some others songs anyways!

I'm seriously so confused and sad...

How come?

[Gone user 5,368]

why are you so pressed at him as an artist? he is one of the key musicians of this generation and one of, if not the most influential artist of the rap genre.

I've never known of, seen, heard of, or read of any single person that was inspired by Kanye West.

Are y‘all having a meltdown over that annie mac interview? What did she say that was so bad? Lol i missed it.

[viagra 1,642]

I love her vocals so much in this album. They are so raw and intimate. Its like she was just singing to your ear. 

[PARADIXO 31,662]

How come?

I'm just going to be honest right now; the album is good but the production is really bad (except for Cinnamon Girl and TNBAR which was already produced years a go sooo)

tbh I never even heard of Kanye til he interrupted Taylor Swift and the only song I’ve ever heard of his was that famous one and only because of the TS stuff. He’s not really that big around here. But now we all know him because he won’t shut up lol. But I’ll believe you guys that he was a musical visionary because usually the worst behaved ones are. Idk rap music very well though.

They went for a 80s cheesy Elton John / George Michael sound mixed with the accoustic sound of the rest of the record for HotD, hence the sound ; but I don't know if they achieved what they aimed at

They definitely didn't

[Enco 2,459]

love song feels like when you're in a relationship and happiness is a butterfly sounds like when it's about to end it's so sad 

[sirensXsilence 462]

Just because you don't agree with an opinion doesn't mean it's a bad opinion.

 

Just because someone has a critical opinion of something doesn't mean they hate it.

 

Just because a conversation makes you uncomfortable doesn't mean other people aren't allowed to have it.

[Smoke 19]

Yeah, Kanye never married a teenager, or beat his wife like John Lennon did, nor did he make fun of the hearing impaired Nico like Lou Reed did. 

 

Lana should definitely romanticize those people but go after Kanye for political views, but then namedrop Mike Love's creation in the first verse of The Greatest anyways.

 

 

I agree with your post sis but really NICO??????? She was lowkey highkey a nazi so... Not saying Lou Reed isn't deserving of some drags but... pick a better example when trying to prove a point about it lol 

[Psychedelic Pussy 28,981]

literally feels like some users got a knife to my throat tryna get me to “admit” k*nye changed the rap universe or something

And IM the one who’s pressed? Lmao

LFL has a lot more replay value than NFR and that's a fact. It took me one year to start getting tired of LFL and don't get me wrong I'm not saying I'm tired of Norman after two plays but I'm sure I won't listen to it as much as I did LFL.

[Gone user 5,368]

Literally who the fuck cares about Kanye West, can yall talk about NFR for a second
