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?

^ 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.

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

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!  :flutter:

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

Ultraviolence

Ultraviolence

I can hear sirens, sirens

 

But you haven't seen my man

You haven't seen my man

You haven't seen my man

You haven't seen him

 

I'm a sad girl, I'm a sad girl, I'm a sad girl

I'm a sad girl, I'm a bad girl, I'm a bad girl

 

You never do, babe, that's just what you do

Because I'm pretty when I cry

I'm pretty when I cry

I'm pretty when I cry

I'm pretty when I cry

Oh, I'll pick you up

If you come back to America, just hit me up

'Cause this is crazy love, I'll catch you on the flip side

If you come back to California, you should just hit me up

We'll do whatever you want, travel wherever how far

We'll hit up all the old places

We'll have a party, we'll dance 'til dawn

I'll pick up all of your Vogues and all of your Rolling Stones

Your favorite liquor off the top shelf

I'll throw a party all night long

A poet, the flavor.

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

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)
