Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread

[WilshireBoulevard]

Also sorry to be irritating but I emailed universal to cancel the collector's edition (ordered it super fast, I don't have a cassette player lol and also want the non pop art blue vinyl), do they do cancellations for preorders??? The t&cs are pretty vague and don't mention what it's like specifically for preorders

The trailer makes up for the god awful cover, not gonna lie

It really does, god how I wish the surf scene was the cover

[baddisease]

Does this mean we‘ll get proper videos for MAC and VB or am I at peak delusion?

 

delusion, i think

[Cacciatore]

I dare any of y'all to watch this trailer and tell me that Doin' Time doesn't belong on this record 

[Say Yes to Heaven]

we need a new site theme now

[SuperMegaStan]

what is up with earl nightingale.... someone please decode the hastags she used

[bored]

I think we're only gonna get visuals for Fuck It I Love You / The Greatest, Happiness Is A Butterfly and maybe the title track? 

 

I think the footage in the trailer is the stuff she did with Rich Lee but didn't wanna tease the new unheard songs?

[TrashMagiq]

I love how she only mentioned Jack in her post and kinda forgot about Rick and those 2 other guys

[World Princess]

I'm lowkey glad she didn't include any new snippets in the trailer 

[UltraviolenceBaby]

I can’t believe we thought she was being lazy and doing nothing while she was actually preparing to scalp us bald by giving us everything we ever wanted.

 

I mean this era went from dry to iconic in 2 days:

 

-the cover is a complete serve out of left field, it’s meant to be both loved and hated and over the top, but it fits so perfectly

-she gives us LIME GREEN vinyl which is hideous and wonderful and perfect all at the same time

-most of the songs are 5ish minutes long and the album is over an hour

-THAT TRAILER. I mean my god we wished for surf vibezzz and she gives it to us. I wish for beautiful wide shots of the city and sea during the golden hour and she gives them to me. She throws in some witchy shit which I’m all about. Cap it off with some psychological mumbo jumbo that I’ve come to know and love from her.

 

Lit rally a dream, a beautiful dream. If there is one thing I can take from it all it seems so very “in your face” in a way I didn’t expect from her and it makes me so proud.
