Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread

[annedauphine 35,879]

after a few times i can say i love the HTD production. its giving me walking through rainy NYC at 11 pm vibes ughh

I also do! It's tacky in an endearing kind of way which makes me feel closer to the lyrics

What if she has a video prepared for TNBAR and it's actually the original scrapped video for White Mustang lmao

[Psychedelic Pussy 30,107]

FIILY..... the synths..... the drums.... the ENERGY

[Kurac na Biciklu 2,359]

Ok... so snippets are the thing now

haha

how things move fast even in period of 3 hours

 

 

anyway... not going to listen to anything before the album drops

 

 

though if the album leaks on my birthday - 27 august

then I will consider it as a gift and listen to all...

[renaissance 8,329]

Omg this is the closest to Ultraviolence she has come ..... I'm not ready to accept that when this album drops it may very well knock UV off the top spot for me

[Coney Island King 26,002]

Fuck all yall fags BAR still sounds GLORIOUS.

 

Cinnamon Girl seems to be lacking that bass sadly, but it still sounds good.

 

Fuck It I Love You sounds promising.

 

The Greatest, meh, but well see, its only 30 seconds.

 

The album sounds like Ultraviolence but more “romantic”.

[renaissance 8,329]

i was just about to go to bed and now i can’t get the title track melody out of my head

[Rorman Nockwell 56,702]

I'm gonna say something wild but fuck it i love you chorus reminds me of the chorus of break up with your boyfriend i'm bored chorus... omfg... and we know she loves the song

 

For some reason it sounds really Taylor-y to me ... the vocals ... and part of the melody reminds me of Love Story

[Thunder Revenant 20,943]

I actually REALLY love the HTD produciton. It's so low-fi melancholia.
Would have probably loved the track whichever way it'd have turned out though, since I just the whole track's vibe and her vocals are so flawless on it.

 

NOT a fan of BARs new lyrics. I loved the track's bitter vibe ("Tell me how it treats you now!"). Ok, she's at another more mature point by now, but the replaced lyrics just sound a bit too forced. "I just wanna party with you" - oh come on. But whatever, at least the song stayed true to it's wonderful sound - y'all whiny "i WaNt A nEw PrOdUcTiOn" greeders can choke

 

The Greatest sounds like an epic, vocal highlight.  And the new California snippet made me even more excited for the song.

 

FIILY sounds like a cute track, maybe not the album's highlight but still pretty nice. The chorus sounds pretty classy, even though the lyrics are very .. simple.

A bit torn about the new glimpse we got on Love Song. The lyrics are cute and I guess so is the whole track, but .. not really too astonishing. Then again, it's just a short snippet that cuts off very abruptly.

 

The Bartender snippet does not excite me at all. Not that it sounds bad but - not really exciting at all. But that's probably just the snippet.

 

 

 

All in all I'm very excited about the album, it seems like it will be a very coherent experience with an overall high quality. LFL had a lot of nice tracks but was just a hot mess when looked at as an album. NFR seems to be playing in UV/HMs league.

I saw a comment on SOTW preview on her insta asking "where is life is beautiful" I have to laugh

[renaissance 8,329]

Are you guys ready to get off the Jack Antonoff hate train yet? I knew he was going to deliver

[annedauphine 35,879]

Considering it's one of my absolute fav Tay songs I'm not surprised I love it

[vitriolkisses 1,952]

this is a random comparison but to me, FILY sounds similar to like a star by corinne bailey rae

[WildMustang 14,759]

She is feeding us so much lately and we are probably gonna starve for 5 years after the album release.. Our poor metabolism

[Psychedelic Pussy 30,107]

Yeah I’ve been getting Taylor swift vibes too?!? Some of the snippets sound like a Taylor Swift pop album... but with like, actual substance and flawless production

I can see her randomly teasing the next one in late January tbh

She just loves making the musak
