AHHH CINNAMON GIRL MUSIC VIDEO FINALLY 911 THIS IS NOT A DRILL OUR GIRL IS SERVING https://twitter.com/fucksforever/status/1171539061263093761?s=19

it’s funny that i knew this was a troll before clicking on it bc someone typing something unrealistic in caps + a link always resulted in disappointment for me

im listening to the album on a Sony srs speaker and it literally sounds amazing and so full. what lana tried to convey with this album really comes out on a speaker

 

Interesting? I mean all her other albums sounded great on any platform I was listening to them, whether it was in my car, with headphones or on speaker? NFR is a good record, but that production ain't all it. Also I wonder with what kind of cheap microphone it was all recorded with tbh.

its just jacks style of mixing. He likes to leave everything very unmixed and raw sounding

[longtimeman 9,001]

I've been listening to it on cheap ($10) headphones, and it sounds pretty great to me. Then again, my ears may  not be what they once were, and I've spent all of my time not listening to NFR, listening to underground punk and heavy metal records, so that might be a factor.

I don't know if that's how I'd describe it.

anyone have any advice on editing photos to look more like the way neil krug's photos do??

i don’t remember what it was exactly, but i think someone was able to achieve a similar effect by stretching /distorting a wood grain texture over the pic? or clouds or water, i don’t remember but in general i think it was probably wood grain. i can’t remember where i saw this but if you search “how to neil krug” or something on this site i have a feeling it’ll be in the resources thread lol

 

edit: and recoloring the pic even if you already have a color version, put it in b&w and don’t try to be super exact when choosing colors trying to make them “realistic” it’s quirkier when the colors are off

 

edit no.2 lol: tbh flowers, trees, paint strokes, spills/splash textures, fire etc all would work well. esp using nature as a double exposure type effect

Does anyone else get reminded of horses galloping riverside when listening to the piano off the title track? It's like they're dancing some scottish waltz, its beautiful

[damagedlolita 285]

Can someone post the lyrics of the original NFR?

She sang a bit on that live on Instagram

I still can't deal with how much Love song and California hit me hard and it's nearly been 3 weeks now...

I agree. 'Cinnamon' especially sounds thick and muffled, as if it were recorded with a pillow over the mic, unlike, say, TG. I like the arrangement on 'Cinnamon,' but the engineering is awful. Compare it to ‘Hope.’

Does anyone else hear cats meowing in the beginning of the greatest? I hear them in Carmen too.

My signed copy arrived in the mail today!

I'm a little disappointed I didn't get a heart, though   

[SilverSprings 535]

me listening to love song imagining it as the first dance at my non-existent wedding

I feel your pain, I ordered 3 signed items and not a single one has a heart

For anyone in Canada who hasn't received their order yet, Lana's store replied to me and said the delivery date has been pushed back to 9/13 so it should be sent soon.

I love how The Greatest is the greatest "shut down anything" song. Bar closing? Greatest. End of a relationship? Greatest. World ending? The Greatest

[wittycatchphrase 1,399]

Guys it's been 13 days and I'm still so in love with this album, I can't believe that I like every song, I wasn't expecting to at all and I'm just so happy and full of candy     

 

 

My favorites are (no order) MAC, NFR, VB, Cinnamon Girl, Bartender, The Greatest

 

Also, does the beginning of Love Song remind anyone else of the instrumental beginning of the Blue Jeans video? The chords at the beginning of LS just recall the grandiosity of the Blue Jeans chorus for me for whatever reason.

[bartenders 1,206]

love song is the only flawed song on the album when i think about it why was it even released girl...

[Veinsineon 77,217]

Anyways Love Song is perfect.

 

Maybe if y'all weren't hideous bridge troll looking haters and actually fell in love you'd relate!
