Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread

[jvcx 3,643]

My favorites atm: Fuck it I love you (single version ), Cinnamon Girl, The greatest, MAC, VB and California. Not necessarily in that order. Love song is quite alright, Happiness is a butterfly was a somewhat positive surprise as it was the track I looked forward to the least. I've only listened the full thing once so we'll see how I feel about the tracks and the record overall once I've settled down with it, I have to admit I would have liked VB to close the record or The greatest - VB comes on way too early. I've been bopping to DT but it did feel somewhat out of place. The first two lines of the new TNBAR chorus are okay but the Eagles line especially is kinda cringey and sounds weird af.

Pre debut era: she went after Lady Gaga

Born To Die era: she went after Lorde

Ultraviolence era: she went after journalists

Honeymoon: peaceful era

Lust For Life: she went after Trump and lowkey G-Eazy

NFR: she went after Kanye

 

 

that's why it's the best

That was... a joke...

What song do you think has your favourite lyrics? And which song has your favourite instrumentals? And what are your reasonings? I like hearing why people like what they like about any of the songs.

All far less worse than the people she romanticizes and never trashes such as Elvis, John Lennon and Lou Reed.

im SO STUNNED by how some of you really dont know im just-

not even trying to come after some of you because i get that some may not have been exposed to certain stuff

 

but honestly   KANYE HAS SCORES OF FAMOUS SONGS. SAYING "THAT FAMOUS ONE" IS USELESS. I LEGIT HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT

 

this isn't about you personally, just hearing someone say that... im just so absolutely baffled. i guess it's because my whole life i've always heard his songs on the radio, always playing on the most popular stations, dozens of different songs. it's so crazy listening to other peoples perspectives, i love it! people are so interesting!!

 

THAT FAMOUS ONE is referring to "Famous" by Kanye West i think luv

So, these are my first impressions after having listened to NFR for the first time - in the warm summer evening, on my balcony, the sunset right in front of me, my headphones on and a glas of wine in my hand. The perfect setting for Lana music

 

 

• I'm not instantly awestruck – but NFR overall is better than I had expected/feared. It has a nice atmosphere and a great flow to it and even the songs that are a bit "lame" on their own (FIILY, Hope) sound good in the overall context of the album.
• It's really a mood album for me, even more than HM is. I definitely will/can not listen to it every day.
• Unpopular opinion: I love the new BAR version!
• "California" is an instant Lana classic and a breeze of fresh air in the middle of the album (as is TNBAR). My 2nd favourite after VB.
• "Bartender" has some kind of Tori Amos piano (reminds me a bit of "Cornflake girl") - great!
• "Love song" is sooo beautiful.
• "Cinnamon girl" is a bit of a disappointment for me – I expected more of a "pop hit". The song just seems to go nowhere (for me).
• So overall: there's not a single bad song on this album for me - but NFR surely isn't my favourite Lana album (yet). At least after the first listen. The album would've been a bit more interesting if she had incorporated more guitars like in VB or California imho.

[xxmissdaytonaxx 29,933]

i’m disgusted.

[ArtDecoDelRey 15,242]

How To Disappear is something else. I'm glad that they didn't play it safe. Just wow.

I actually have to defend @@Cacciatore because I read your post and really thought "SAME" and I'm a Gemini sun. I came here to have a good time and I honestly felt very attacked back then.

That's nice to know

[enchaunted 106]

it will get boring for us to listen nfr bc it's a 1 year old album for us but it's not the same case for a local, they will enjoy cinnamon more than we do

[Make me your Dream Life 83,156]

I live for the tones she sings thru on California nd TNBAR.
