Why is it that you are so bothered by what others think of NFR? Do you have anything to contribute other than dull insults? Why is your pfp no longer yellow? Is your username a reference to the Coldplay song? Why did Gwyneth Paltrow ruin Coldplay? 

[bored 7,938]

Can we just appreciate the singles run for the NFR era though cos it's pretty flawless!

I wonder what would've been if NFR was her second album and UV her 5th.

[Rorman Nockwell 56,719]

^ Yes, more and more people are questioning if this acclaim could be interchangeable, and it's a pertinent question to ask. Almost 300 pages of this thread and I don't think anyone has adequately explained how and why NFR is so superior and more deserving of acclaim than her previous albums. People have just cited review scores and ranted about Jack Antonoff.

 

How is NFR superior sonically, lyrically, etc? Serious question for those who think it's her best. 

[lustforlife 19,008]

are u guys lazy or... the acclaim isnt just abut NFR and thats what make me feel on tears for her power.. The critics are literally understading her as artist NOW on the end of the fuck decade. Its not NFR acclaim, its LANA DEL REY acclaim, as a songwriter, as artist, as american

[Lanalouis1 2,511]

On another note I really want her to release the 2 country songs she sang at the Ally Coalition - beautiful melodies and lyrics

[takeitdoen 10,627]

Summer is finally hitting in Melbourne, and NFR is a big treat to listen to. Listening to Love Song when trees are becoming silhouettes amongst the sunset is so gorgeous. And the true appreciation of Venice Bitch has finally made it to me - the weather is hot and it's making me nostalgic of 2019 already!

Errr her song writing has improved dramatically on NFR. The songs are more akin to BTD and VG style writing with great wordy chorus.

 

There was a point where her choruses were extremely repetitive. I blame S-S-S ummertime Sadness success for that mess.

 

This is ultraviolence

Ultraviolence

why would someone say this is her best album......................

because it is periat 

[lustforlife 19,008]

A NFR deluxe with Hey Blue Baby and I Must be Stupid for Being so Happy would get country votes of the Grammys voters

[urgirl 5,748]

Venice bitch. Should have been the opening track and the title for the whole record

 

It’s more beautiful, and it would give the impression that the album is about Lana and not a man

[Cacciatore 19,347]

A poet, the flavor.

 

Funny how you chose one of the two songs that weren't originally written for NFR to illustrate how good her songwritting for this album is

California is just an Ultraviolence outtake

i do think generally her use of language is more complex on NFR, but i think the emotional impact is not as strong as her past work that packed whelps of feeling in the way she intoned her repetitive lyrics

Also her past works had impecable bridges. NFR can't relate.

(I feel the need of making a disclaimer that NFR is actually on my top 3 Lana albums)
