Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread

I just spent the past several pages shitting on Lana's inspirations so u tell me

 

the best song on LFL said

 

Maybe my contribution could be as small as hoping

That words could turn to birds and birds would send Valerie away

[house of balloons 12,770]

Yes. Thinking Lana is better than The Beatles is just moronic.

i think the beatles suck, does that bother you? 

[West Coast 44,802]

People saying anything from LFL is produced badly just cracks me the fuck up   

I don't think that was anything wrong with the production or mixing per se, it's just that it was overwhelmingly trap beats-ish and the lyrics sounded like she tried too hard. More often than not it sounded really bad and cringey.

[American Whore 47,526]

Yes. Thinking Lana is better than The Beatles is just moronic.

 

Maybe right now, sure, but give her another couple of albums and the sounds shes been experimenting with will eventually mold something iconic as the Beatles were. Hell, two of their best albums were in their group of last 3 albums

[cherryblossoms 10,271]

I hate LFL but damn I can’t deny ha impact. She somehow manages to stay relevant in every conversation, good or bad.

[Valerie 1,379]

omg spilled

 

Lana has no Sgt Peppers. She tried to do it with NFR, as she said so herself, but it didn't work.

also listening to instrumentals such as cherry, there's really no substance to them, like they lack the sophistication of all her other instrumentals

As iconic?  

[StillOnMyMind 2,058]

So can someone confirm that NFR is still up there as one of her best albums?

Seems listening to the production in HQ has got some of you bamboozled

 

The album is miles better in HQ than it was the LQ mess. So I don't get why some people here is complaining about the album when its production is literally amazing.

Omg. The song is probably even more disappointing than the first time I heard it.

The greatest is MAC's lost sister, now I get why I like it that much. The verses are very similar, especially the drums.

[West Coast 44,802]

Agree, I feel like it sounded kinda cheap. Especially after listening to a perfect album such as Honeymoon where everything was well balanced and beautifully intricate. Lust for Life fell pretty flat imho. Def not a worthy runner up and/or follow up

[Araby 676]

valerie has a complex

 

it's not mariners apt 

[collin 607]

lana didn't really need to include NBAR on the album the production is so clunky next to jack's and it kinda feels like filler which i hate to say about lana 

[Make me your Dream Life 83,085]

 

California makes me sad AND horn-ee . like wtf?  send help.  

 

The saloon typa piano at the back, by the second verse?  the drunken heavy vocals, that simple ass but effective beat? CRAZY LOVE?  WHY'D I HAVE TO FUCKIN LISTEN  we'll do whatever u want, travel wherever how far, we'll hit up all the old places. WE'LL HAVE A PARTY, we'll dance til dawn?? throw a party, all night LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG ?? ! ?  OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHH  I'll pick u up  catch u on THE FLIPSIDE U SHOULD JUST HIT ME UP  u don't ever have to go faster than ur fastest pace . .. .

LfL was badly-produced, tho; every track had the same glassy fake digital ProTools sound to it, except for the one produced by Sean Lennon
