Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread

[UltraviolenceBaby 5,014]

Literally Lana‘s pre-BTD visual collages are better and actually iconic. Those are just... random

 i totally agree

even the uv when she was eating an orange was way better and i really loved it

for the very first time in my life i watched lana's videos for ONCE

i did that both with VB and MAC, chuck is so talented i love her but i dont think she shows her best on lana's stuff

thats why i always hope to not do anything on the upcoming stuff

[FallingCherry 7,731]

With Lana's luck, the album will be released the same week as Sophie Anderson's... poor Lizzy better not be expecting a #1 again.

Who? I don't know her dahling

yeah. i don't think the visuals are exactly bad & they fit the songs' mood, but they def felt like an unconvincing imitation of lana's old videos. (+ the repetition of the same highway clip over and over bothers me.)

I'm a bit worried that sis is trying too hard to be a guttersnipe; obviously I don't mind swearing but suddenly it's in the album title, song titles, etc. 

 

Tbh that's my biggest complaint with Cherry ... the random "fuck"s and "bitch"s seem so unnecessary and I don't feel they add anything to the song. Maybe this should be filed under unpopular opinions but whatever. So I just hope it's like ... purposeful swearing in this album, and not just because of her midlife crisis. 

 

Also I read a few pages of one of the books she recommended and it was about wilderwomen drinking from the same streams as wolves, and it made me want to kms. Obviously I'm just not enlightened enough to understand the appeal. 

[SuperMegaStan 9,985]

i would like to call them visualiser instead of a music video...

like she was literally lipping Happiness Is A Butterfly.... i just can't take Chuck serious sorry not sorry....

Chuck did great pics and projects with some magazines, brands like Gucci, other artists... I don’t get why with Lana all of chuck’s works seems underwhelming

[SweetHenny 14,579]

Chuck is too much sometimes. If she was shooting porn, I'm sure whe would have made it black and white and mostly shot the pattern on some carpet or the scenery outside the window thinking that's edgy and true art

Idk seems dope to me

[Lanalouis1 2,511]

Pretty convinced the video is coming this Friday, even by Lana's standards - generally when she makes an "announcement" across all her social medias she does follow through with it

[theeternalstars 4,576]

still scarred by that time lana teased the mtwbt video with loads of gorgeous colours and styling and then decided to put a B+W filter on half of it

[Zetterberg 1,879]

Four weeks of vacation, time went by so fast
Only this Sunday left, I’m gonna make it last
No new releases, Lana didn’t do us gays a favor
Hoping a August release will be our saviour

it's an angry song

yes yes yes ive been feeling this way too. the cursing lately comes off as kinda corny to me....

[WilshireBoulevard 5,420]

For the record about neohumanism: they posted the same thing as lana within the hour that she did, not before

 

 

edit: they also deleted the post that someone on here found where they stole it from (that drawing thing on ig) so neohumanism if you're here, you're a freak

[Roll With me 5,667]

The Amazon link that we thought it was Lana but was listed as The Jam has changed and now it's TBC. Date is still August 30th and still under Polydor. I think it has to be Lana 100%

Looking at the pictures she posted made me think of Wayamaya... probably just the beach vibe it sent

I'd be down for a music vid like that

[Ryusei 5,071]

Yeah the repetitions really bothered me. If you‘re gonna do a video like that over 5 and 9 minutes respectively at least dont repeat the scenes...

i have this weird unsubstantiated feeling that Lana is trying to go full on stoner grunge rock star with messy hair and flannels and idgaf attitude (tho muscle beach baby indicates otherwise so just kill me ).  whether or not that's something we'll see is To Be Determined, but if it ever happens... i think we all know by now that Lana's entire personality is an act based on what she thinks is cool right then - so idk if itll ever come off as actually genuine or just a full fledged adult pop star playing dress up with different personas.  then the swearing will just be for effect, but not for any actual purpose.  praying that im wrong bc i would love to be able to enjoy this album and so far.... eughhhggh

I agree. 'Cherry' was a 3/4ths-finished track, but LDR couldn't find a way to beef it up to a fully-developed song (the same way that 'White Mustang' was only half or 3/4ths of a song) so she added the 'bitch' and 'fuck' to attempt round it out, which didn't work, was on obvious attempt to flesh out the song, and made her look pathetic as an artist. There's a clean version out there, and that's the version I play when I play it at all, just as there is a 'Groupie Love' without the rap.

 

Hopefully, there won't be any such cheap shots on the new record. I would think Jack would steer her away from them, as his name is also on it, but we'll have to wait and see.

The term I use for Lana is Chaotic Intellectual,

 

She’s smart and philosophical one minuet the next she’s swearing and acting like trailer trash or a Kardashien wannabe. It’s coming out in her lyrics lately with the cringy lines and excess immature swearing.
