Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread

[Off To The Races 2010 demo pls 19,335]

I can't even bother with this bitch anymore. I've officially had it. I've listened to other artists, I've tried to be positive about the wait, and before ya'll say "gO ouTsiDE" - BITCH I'VE BEEN OUTSIDE PLENTY. It ain't gonna make me forget about the existence of NFR. It may have worked for Lana but it hasn't for me.

 

1 year and 2 months ago she teased the HIAB snippet.

8 months ago she released MAC and VB.

4 months ago we got a single that was actually from the album itself.

 

Lana doesn't even have the decency to let fans know what's up. Her tweet on her Daytona acc doesn't mean much either. "Who knows when it'll be out", okay well you could elaborate on that?? It ain't hard.

Like if she said "it's gonna be a while BECAUSE this is what's happening............." I would be completely okay. I would be forgiving. I would be more patient.

 

But she has been quiet af and straight up ignoring fans questions about the album and tbh it's just rude?? At the end of the day, in a buiness sense, NFR is the product you're selling to your fans, and when the artist themselves don't even acknowledge it's and try to sell that product, how the fuck can you expect fans to be excited about it and give them your money?

 

Yeah I know NFR is gonna do well anyway, but there's still that small majority of people (as such as myself) who doesn't want to be one of those bums to give her my money. I'm not even sorry.

 

Obviously when this era starts to pick up then I'll be around again. Hell, I didn't stick around this long to not finally enjoy this era when the good things start coming. But right now? I'm done. I can't even bother to post a teeny tiny emoticon to display my dissatisfaction with this mess. I'm outie.

if the messy release of this album was the labels fault then lana couldve of said that, but instead her "managers" say that everything she says goes and that shes waiting for the poetry book to release first, so this abomination of a release is all her fault.

 

 

i will laugh and download the album when it leaks. no i will not buy it, she doesn't deserve it

[ijustwantedtorevivetheforum 1,728]

i wish she'd do a livestream on ig to clarify everything

[Make me your Dream Life 87,810]

Idk i'll still b buying the vinyl of this record. It'll b like a trophy or something accumulating valueeeeee

[Off To The Races 2010 demo pls 19,335]

I'm so glad to watch people expressing their discontent on Lana's bitchy attitude. I can feel y'all

[Formation 4,192]

I'm glad we're not all blind followers of her and can see her faults. 

 

Anyway, here's the cover for NFR I made. Neil's hazzy wave effects fits really nicely with MAR and VB and her pose just screams "reflective sad girl" which seems to be the vibe of the record.

Tbf, Ben & Ed tried to tell us. I feel sorry for them, they got so much shit when it wasn't their fault at all

I'll buy something nice for myself in the name of what LDR6 could have been   maybe a nice lipstick

How can she be satisfied with this? she has disappointed me to such an extent

[GeminiLanaFan 49,038]

There's a bit of "The Revenge of Lana Del Rey" with NFR. For the first time, her work is finally safe and did not leak. Maybe she's telling herself "For the first time in like a million years, I can do things on my own pace and don't have to worry about fuckers that will leak my work". 
I don't think it's the only reason why she is taking her sweet time, but maybe it does play a role in it.

I read your frustrations and your points are valid. It's been forever.

At the moment, I choose to believe that what she said to some fan met in LA is true: NFR will be out end of summer. If so, the lead shouldn't be "too far".

I think she has a lot of contempt for her fans these days.

This looks so fucking good!!!! I might use this depending on the final cover (or as en EP if the album doesn’t release for VB, Hope, and MAC)

Loves it. If the album was called How To Disappear this cover would be even more perfect  LANA CHANGE THE ALBUM TITLE CHALLENGE!

God no NFR is already an iconic name

[GeminiLanaFan 49,038]

How To Disappear is the perfect song to name this limbo bullshit. 

I love NFR as an album title: it really encapsulates her edgy side mixed with the most Americana reference ever. 

[Cacciatore 19,347]

It's been eight months of NFR this, NFR that, I'm already tired of it and after all this mess I think the title is jinxed  but its iconic indeed.

[Obduration 6,548]

Yeah sometimes I feel like I’m the only one who really likes the album title. My opinion on it only makes me want the album more though
