Ok I'm so glad, like, ok bc no bc I know that the checkered version's gonna be like an official release version, so it's like having both versions can't waaaaaait ah, treasure that, it'll probably a good collector's item.

Is there also a vid of the interview part or only the performance

[Rorman Nockwell 53,749]

Oooh sis is fighting on Twitter

[trailer park 248]

why does she feel the need to have vocals help her in the chorus when she doesn't need any help at all? she sounds really beautiful...

[Psychedelic Pussy 28,873]

Did she say in the livestream she has videos for every song? I swear she did but then I went back to find where she said it and I can’t be fucked watching the whole livestream again lol

[takeitdoen 10,615]

NO ONE'S SPILLING ANY SHIT, ALISON!

[bartenders 1,206]

All the faggots of lanaboards

Wearing clown dresses for their tea parties

Playing games in the pre release thread

Meditating in the post release one

 

And I love all the little games we play

In the pre release thread

And when at last the era's done, they lock the thread

Yes she said she wanted to make a video for each song. She wants the Love song video to be like a living Monet painting, and the triple video for NFR, Bartender and HIAB is coming in October!

[amostori 780]

i was asleep when she streamed, does anyone know where i can watch it??

[White Hot 527]

Just caught up with everything that has been said on the livestream. I LOVED the NFR demo lyrics

If anyone actually thinks she will fulfill that promise of a music video for every song... I think by the time NFR - Bartender - HIAB comes out she will already be over it.

[Kommander 3,260]

She was so nervous rbejjrur4i serving 2015 BBC live

[BeautifulAnywhere 5,394]

Y’all omg the triple video will be 20 minutes long which means we get 7 MORE MINUTES of scrapped & spliced video footage

The songs all together isn’t even 15 minutes

Also, tbh the only other song I can see her doing a video for is Love Song. Then she’ll probably call it quits. Although I’d hope she’d do a video for hope as well. It bothers me it’s the one single which didn’t get a video.

Although that’d mean we’d have 10 videos & I find that very VERY hard to believe we’ll ever get from her

[Rorman Nockwell 53,749]

Seems to me she teased the NFR mv wayyyy earlier than usual ... usually she teases mv's a week or so before release.

 

I fully expect her to tease the other two before the release in October.

[Tragic Rabbit 3,355]

apart from the lyrics, is there any other difference between the demo & final version of BAR?

 

(also I'd appreciate if someone links me to the demo in the highest quality)

[Citrus 8 18]

Just got my copy I ordered,. It is .........I don't have the words right now it has floored me. I love it already

[Tragic Rabbit 3,355]

the first video has the audience comments missing so I'd recommend the second link which just has the 1 & a half minutes missing in the beginning.

[love deluxe 8,494]

title track grew on me SO MUCH omg... might even be my fav on the album. just realized she's making a 3 part vid for my top 3 songs

[Topaz 572]

I remember she said she wanted a quiet release for NFR, but I guess she changed her mind again LOL. I'm not mad tho, love all the incoming video's and songs <3. 

[Kurac na Biciklu 2,359]

Ah...
 

[Vertimus 8,921]

Ah...

So after 4 days of listening to only NFR here are sone of my thoughts:

 

• the album is good and I understand all the praise but it did not connect on personal lever with me so far

 

♤ my favorites: Bartender, NFR, Love song, California, MAComplex and Cinammon girl

 

♡ least favorite is The greatest

 

♢ though she has really great lyrics and some of her best... many songs have rather simple and totally uninspired lyrics which any schoolgirl can write

 

♧ I can see this album - like Honeymoon - being the one I play the most as it is relaxing as a whole. No stand out tracks on it as with other albums

 

☆ So many songs but NFR are so reniniscent of Fiona Apple and I like that.

Tori Amos is another one

would be good to know what Lana thinks of them

 

¤ I dont have fav lyric from this album yet

 

▪ Original Next BARecord is better but this one is by no means bad

 

i to je to!

 

I can't connect to it on a personal level either, and I assimilated it all very quickly, so it feels 'used up' already, whereas I can still listen to songs like 'Ride,' 'Old Money,' 'Terrence Loves You' and 'Summertime Sadness' and they feel fresh and full of 'underground currents' for lack of a better term.
