It's fucking gorgeous. I LOVE all the photos from the boat, they're so good. The other ones with Chuck and Jack and the flowers are kinda eh, but I get they're like for fun so overall, a really nice booklet

I really want one of the vinyls but here's the issue - my local record store is getting a shipment in today but he told me he is only getting the standard black ones. should i just go and buy it anyway? or should i order the green one from her site?

I wonder when we will get the Instrumentals from the album.

P.S. I almost forgot but did anyone else tear up when you first started listening to the whole thing? Not because of sadness in the music. But just the build up to it, and the emotional release of finally getting to hear it. She does that to me. I like it.

How To Disappear 3% is still too high. Love Lana but Jack needs to watch his pay cheque cut in half for butchering that song.

I wonder when we will get the Instrumentals from the album.

I cried of relief that I lived to listen to this record lol.

Ok what I'm gonna say is so weird but do you guys ever thought that too? Especially this August since she announced the release date I often thought "Omg what if I die before the record is out? What if I get ran over by a truck and die without having listened to NORMAN FUCKING ROCKWELL?" lol The thought of never listening to it kinda scared me

Norman is not my favorite Lana album but the songs i do like are amazing.

 

California

Bartender

Fuck it i love you

Cinnamon girl

Venice bitch

How to Disappear is weird I like it. You were all complaining the album was going to be full of plain piano ballads beforehand and they turned it into something totally leftfield. I feel like it was inspired by Sublime. Especially that short glockenspiel (?) sample that plays a few times. I like it!

 

and I don't get the jingle bells thing. I think of it as a tambourine. Sure the choice is weird but whatever

[UltraviolenceBaby 5,014]

my UO  vinyl is still back order

anyone else please?

[Fingertips 72,043]

The 1-2-3-4 punch of Love Song, Cinnamon Girl, How to Disappear and California, I-

After listening to it in FLAC with headphones I think I get where they were going and I like it! but tbh it sounds like it has been terribly mixed.

[Trash Magic 28,392]

I think that How to Disappear is the most conventional song on the album in structure and rhyme pattern and lyrics. That's why I loved it so much from first listen at the apple event but I appreciate they tried to like "subvert" it or whatever. They definitely made it like weird just  for fun.

[PARADIXO 32,943]

It's surreal that we have a post-release thread of this album omg

 

Anyway, I've seen the light. I finally fully appreciate it. Amazing album. It's always been; but I was too critical.

 

I listend to it last night with my best friend, laying on bed, lights off and talking about love and life... It was gorgeous!

 

Ultraviolence

Honeymoon

Norman Fucking Rockwell!

Lust for Life

[UltraHeroin 8,803]

I just thought of this but the way Lana, from wearing plain white in all her other album covers, decided to wear fucking NEON for this cover lmao. And changing the car for a boat. Gotta love her

[CinnamonGay 10,527]

Gosh. I cant stop playing the album over and over again. Omg. LOVE SONG HAS ME HOOKED ...

 

no bf to make love in the car tho

[realclosetojesus 1,383]

Omg The Guardian's review is so stupid lol
