Norman Fucking Rockwell - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

[HighbytheSea 4,790]

Havent been able to look up lyrics so I legit have no clue what she says whatsoever but Cinnamon Girl SLAPS!

[YourPoetryIsBad 89]

Is Courtney Love on crack cocaine? what the fuck is wrong with her

[Veinsineon 76,892]

All the basic cherry emoji g*ys overhyping cinnamon just like they did with cherry

[Make me your Dream Life 87,885]

Im still like drowned in this album too much, but I just wanted to say the title tracks fucking lovely I cried and does anyone get sadder when they listen to TNBAR nd California? Like it's feigning some shit to party to cover up hurt n stuff

[ChicaCherryCola 1,393]

Why did Interscope chose the title track NFR to promote post-release? (It was the only one mentioned by Apple Music's New Music Daily playlist and on its Hot song list). I mean it's good but why not use the hype from Cinnamon Girl to promote it further?

On all my social media I see the casual fans talk about NFR (song) the most, specially the first couple lines. I think it outgrew Cinnamon, to be honest.

Besides, since it has the same title as the album, it's easier to promote that single while also promoting the whole brand, it's like a 2 for 1 deal.

Hahahahahahaha oh fuck I forgot itunes keeps track wahahahahahahaha ive been streaming it since like, the hq leak so ive listened to it for a good amount too

[Tammy 2,291]

'California' is my fav track, followed by 'The next best American record'.

 

Also love 'The greatest', 'Doin' time’ and 'MAC'.

 

My least fav track is 'Cinnamon girl'.

 

It's a great album though and she even put it on cassette! Can't complain.

[Wynwood 19,967]

im starting to like TNBAR, the only real negative is that she took out the beautiful ending and just has an abrupt one

[AsDangerousAsHope 916]

I’m trying to listen to the album in order but FIILY started and I couldn’t stop listening. God knows I tried

I’m judging everyone by the scores they give to California. If it’s less than 10, I’m sorry but You’re wrong, go away

[HighbytheSea 4,790]

Bartender followed by HiaB is a rough 1-2 punch of sadness. Bartender superior (current favorite) but both are out to wreck you.

[J.R.OMEGA 2,684]

So... between work today and trying to prepare for a hurricane, I've only been able to listen to NFR one playthrough. Just with that single listening I can say that this is Lana's best work to date. I even added Season of the Witch and Looking for America to the end of NFR kinda as bonus tracks and they fit so well !!! Hopefully the fave song poll that is pinned will stay for awhile because I have a shit-load to do and need more time with NFR before I make any decisions. Happy Norman Fucking Rockwell day lovelies !!!

[sparklrtrailrheaven 9,065]

okay,,,,,, thoroughly enjoyed my second listen and now, a few more thoughts  

 

-lana repeating "blue" at the end of the title track melts me; she sounds like a dove cooing

 

-Love song is one of the sweetest, most genuine love songs I've ever heard!!!!! the "oh, thanks for the high life" and the "you know that i just die to make you proud" parts ALSO melt me

 

-Cinnamon Girl stays underwhelming me, which is totally frustrating, bc the snippets were my faves + it's getting so much appreciation here!!! i want to like it but it remains the only track on the album i feel kind of 'whatever' abt -- although i do love the ending instrumental and you could've easily convinced me that was some BTD demo before i heard it on the album

 

-i love the How to disappear production more and more every time i hear it!!!!!!!!!!!! it's not what i expected for HtD at ALL and i'm still not sure it matches that song in particular, but i love it so much nonetheless and left-field nature of it gives me big AKA/David Kahne vibes

 

-California,,,,, what a gorgeous song

 

-i can deal with the lyrical changes on The Next Best American Record a lot better than I could at first, and i'm even approaching enjoying them, even tho the original lyrics blow those out of the water and flow a million times better. especially weird that she kept the "i see you for what you really are" line bc altho that *could* be seen in a positive context, that's kind of a stretch and besides the melody sounds so dark right there it just doesn't work

 

-Bartender/Happiness is a butterfly/hope is like,,,,, my favorite sequence of songs on any LDR release

 

-BARTENDER,,,,,,,, this is THAT song i really cannot get over it......... entering my top 5 LDR songs immediately. no words for it yet

 

-Happiness ----- also what a SONG so much emotion packed into it 

 

i can't rank the songs on the album but my top 5 are, for sure:

1. Bartender

2. Mariners Apartment Complex

3. Happiness is a butterfly

4. The greatest

5. California

 

also, my album ranking looks like this ATM:

 

Lana Del Ray

Norman Fucking Rockwell!

Born to Die

Lust for Life

Paradise

Ultraviolence

Honeymoon

I was thinking of you earlier today. I’m glad you got to listen. Stay safe!

[Pink Champagne 9,480]

Bartender is stuck in my head and it might be until the day I die

[gatadelrey 4,617]

Honestly idk how anyone can narrow anything down. I can’t pick a favourite album or a favourite track on any album.... especially not NFR. I love all of it. Lana is true magic.

Yeah that line "You fucked me so good I almost said I love you" is gold. Interscope better save Cinnamon Girl for a single with an expensive music video later!!

 

(Though I bet 'casual fans' like that don't have the attention span to listen to over an hour of Lana, or even get pass that 10 minutes masterpiece of Venice Bitch to appreciate the whole album)

[bigspender 8,368]

is there a clean version yet?

[SparkleJumpropeNoose 8,750]

listening to nfr but turning it off after doin time >>
