Y'all forget that Norman Fucking Rockwell is a summer album set in an apocalyptic world. By having a xmas song in the middle of the album Lana is telling us that climate change became so severe that winter turned into summer, and now when they celebrate xmas there's no more snow or winter because it's fucking hot and California is in flames. It's all part of the storytelling keep up with it hoes

On top of that, the next album is called White Hot Forever which basically means extreme heath forever. She’s a storyteller. How to disappear’s production is genius, innovative, storytelling and way too ahead of its time. You can tell by the overall negative response for it. And that’s that on that!

K guys so I'm still processing but I have some thoughts I just wanna chime in with. I was shaken to my core the first few listens but I think I've calmed down enough so it's not just the excitement talking.

 

I was NOT READY for the entire final 1:30 of Cinnamon Girl. Like, I cannot handle it, it could have gone so wrong but it was just enough. Those swelling string synth shits try to pull teardrops from my eyes, and one of these days it'll happen.

 

Oh OK those drums in California that kick in right at the front around the 2nd verse (is that when?) shot me in the chest.

 

LOL I avoided most commentary on the pre-release thread but knew that everyone hated How To Disappear. I'd never heard even the live performance of it so I went in totally blind. Once I heard the chorus I was like "OMG, this is the one everyone hates???" It's cheap and reductive at times but also so cheeky and a bit clever, it made me laugh.

 

And ok this is lame, but I love Bartender especially because it makes me feel seen. I'm a recovering alcoholic who quit drinking almost 4 years ago, and even though I don't miss drinking, I miss the camaraderie I used to have at bars. And whenever I'm out with others, I get Coke with cherry syrup to drink. So like obviously the lines "Baby remember? I'm not drinking wine... but the cherry Coke you serve is fine," really got me. My girl gets it. <3

[LanaCharts 1,980]

This album really exceeded my expectations. I’m so happy

Exactly the last minute of cinnamon evokes emotion in a way I didn’t think jack was capable of...I just wish we’d gotten more of that.

BARTENDER IS A CAREER HIGHLIGHT! IT WOULDNT BE MY USER IF IT WASNT

[lernerderrey 2,428]

i just downloaded my official download and it has the single version of FIILY and no jack at the end of Hope

the single version just isnt as good

[UltraHeroin 8,803]

 

Just listened to this and it was another incredibly fun and cute interview. Her favourite chord is E minor

[Venice 6,933]

I love her so much. All of the interviews she's been doing about NFR make it even better - understanding where she's coming from. And finally, she seems very comfortable being herself and not playing up anything. It's soooo nice. Sigh <3

[cabaredalana 5]

booklet already came out in pdf? 

[Wynwood 19,967]

can i just say that this album sounds so good in my car, most of the songs have bass

 

this bitch lied and said there are no bops, well then explain why im climaxing all over the highway 

[Ghost Town 307]

Finishing my first listen to the vinyl.

 

So many little surprises along the way, for a start i have the neon green version but when you hold it to the light there’s almost a marble effect to it i didn’t expect.

 

MAC and VB sound different for the better, it all seems clearer in the vinyl and i don’t know why, just sounds so much full and fresher with those 2 songs in particular...

 

Also forgot it has the more chilled FIILY and the spoken outro for HIADT which are nice touches to make the vinyl more worth it.
