Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread

[Jared 3,130]

All that leads up to Norman Fucking Rockwell, a total stunner of an album that feels perfectly attuned to its moment.

 

 

A few seconds in, Del Rey sings one of the all-time great album-opening lines: “Goddamn, manchild / You fucked me so good that I almost said, ‘I love you.’”

 

 

 

The sound of Norman Fucking Rockwell evokes cabaret bar in a lost, half-imagined late-’60s dreamworld, dwelling on that same fragile and hopeful glamor as Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood did. 

 

 

 “Hope Is A Dangerous Thing For A Woman Like Me To Have – And I Have It” — quite possibly the finest and most realized piece of work that Del Rey has ever written or sung. 

 

 

Del Rey released “Hope Is A Dangerous Thing” a few days into 2019, and I’m still not over it. I don’t know if I’ll ever get over it. I don’t know if I’ll ever get over the rest of Norman Fucking Rockwell, either. It’s a beautiful opus for a new dark age — a fond look back at the world we just wrecked. Lana Del Rey always knew how fucked we are. And if we’re just catching up now, that’s our fault, not hers.

[CmonDownToFL 6,680]

I literally gave you all a month in advance to prepare to reach 4000 cowards

 

Reach 4000 or ELSE (I’ll kidnap you & you’ll be forced to listen to Coachella over & over for a straight month. You think I won’t? I’m a Floridian, my crackhead powers are far too strong).

[Paris Hilton 9,737]

I can see, smell and feel an 85 on metacritic   or even more  

[WilshireBoulevard 5,420]

I'm delusional cuz I still want to reach 4000. Go big or go home

 

I can't believe I'll be writing my goodbye post in a few hours and it'll be on page 3830 or something    but a girl can dream

[poetic jess 2,340]

I keep thinking about Lana in the blonde wig being such a full circle moment. This is a reach, but it gave me the impression of her AKA persona suffering another heartbreak, and then we see the Lana persona (literally) bigger than ever reaching out and taking revenge. Then the cute moment where they smile at each other right before they leave. My favorite part of the music video~

[WilshireBoulevard 5,420]

2 hours 54 minutes until I hear it (on spotify  ) 

 

This is so bittersweet

[Pico Ocean Boulevard 41,049]

AFTER THIS SONG  MY LiFE MAKE FINALLY SENSE AGAIN :lmao:
