happy 3rd birthday! i'll never forget the insanity of this album rollout 

[GeminiLanaFan 49,408]

Happy bday to my fave! 
love you with all of my heart. I didn’t know at first that you would be so « prophetic » with the pandemic that was about to hit, how your songs would resonate on a deep, deep level and accompany me throughout. The Greatest, Venice Bitch (favourite song by far), Mariners Apartment Complex, Hope, Fuck It I Love You: they are all career highlights.

happy 3rd birthday norm! being The greatest album ever made really fucked shit up -

[Bird World 1,805]

Happy birthday Norman!!! <3 It grew on me so much through these three years. It has a special place in my heart.  

[DCooper 37,181]

Happy birthday to this absolute masterpiece!! From start to finish this album feels light and breezy but holds so much complexity beneath the surface and packs a real heavy punch. Lana changed the game a second time with NFR! and it will go down in history as a monumental record.

 

Still my favourite album with Venice Bitch being the greatest song to ever live.

[IanadeIrey 62,141]

Happy birthday to the epic that is Norman Fucking Rockwell! 
 

I’ll never forget where I was when we were first introduced to this record, hearing Mariners Apartment Complex and Venice Bitch, and Lana debut the title of the record in an interview with Zane Lowe. Such an uncanny album title with poignant themes to follow would serve to create an album that functioned as a sign of the times while also allowing listeners to become one with and see themselves through the music.
 

I have so many great memories tied to this record, and for that reason, it’s always going to be one that I come back to and resonate with so closely. Happy 3rd birthday, Norman. 🏄‍♀️⛵️☄️🌊🦋

such a relaxing & well-rounded album, happy 3rd birthday, norman fucking rockwell!

happy bday to the album that brought me back to lana after a few years of not listening! when hope is a dangerous... was released it blew me away and turned me into a rabid lana stan once again. i remember when NFR leaked (a day or two early? i forget) and just listened to it like "HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT," the title track really did announce her legend status in a new but still very lana way. this was such a fun era w her surfer girl looks, the gorgeous greatest/FIILY video, TONS of interviews and appearances etc. plus this era is the literal reason i am obsessed with neon green to this day, sorry about it. if the U.S. still exists 100 years from now () this will be considered an all-time great american piece of art (the next best american record lol even tho that song is thee skip for me).

ALSO this is the release that made me finally get an account on LB rather than just lurking and bc i love it here that also makes the era xtra special <3 it was SO fun to have people to talk to about this album and lana stuff in general.

Heard you're back in the bar again

Hangin' out with your stupid friends

Playing with your guitar again

But I don't fucking care

 

Cuz you're just a man

It's just what you do

 

the way i would KILL for the demos...

[Lustformoney 41,499]

snooze and twink music. wish it never came out

[revadece 1,436]

happy 3 years norman <3 this honestly might be my fav lana album, deserves all the recognition it gets (although i wish people would give this recognition equally to lana’s other records)

[mlittle11 12,234]

cant believe its been 3 years  happy bday to one of my favorite albums ever!!!!

 

a true summer record that sounds like long drives and beach days. its so warm and familiar. such a masterpiece 

[Crimson and Clover 22,550]

Really random but the movie Before Sunrise is for the NFR girlies fr i fell in love with both MAC and the movie after seeing this, the movie’s slice of life, simple and melancholic but youthful nature just matches NFR so well

cinnamon girl cannot be written again! i fucking love it and that’s on fucking period. thanks jack for that

[Make me your Dream Life 88,903]

Venice bitch is one her dreamiest best its dipped in nostalgia

[GeminiLanaFan 49,408]

It feels like this album has been out for way more than three years (probably because of the neverending pandemic and, well, two full new albums released since and an audiobook).

A beautiful summer roadtrip album. Even if you hate it, you have to love that it finally earned Lana the critical respect she'd been looking for ever since B2D.
