All of us know it's UltraBible, but not every one is willing to admit it at this very moment!

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but does anyone else think this list is kinda wack? I'm not expecting good taste from aoty.org or rateyourmusic and similar icky sites, but this randomly came up on Twitter 

Someone in the replies said that it's accurate but called West Coast and Ride "two sneaks"… West Coast is like, my favorite song on here? bye.

I can understand that NFR is not to everyone's taste, but it's good that the album has gained so much recognition outside of the fan community. I'd say the users of aoty.org have pretty good taste for the most part. Things that are highly rated there tend to still sound good and unique years later.

Here is my factually correct ranking of the albums

 

1. NFR

2. Ocean Blvd

3. Honeymoon

4. Chemtrails over the Country Club

5. Ultraviolence

6. Born To Die

7. Blue Banisters

8. Lust for Life

exactly what i’m saying 

 

norman is still a stellar piece of work and one of the best albums ever released but i just happen to like her other albums more... it’s not a personal attack for me to rank it low

I adore Norman with all of my heart but it never will be 10/10 because of the newer version of TNBAR

It's everyone's favorite because it's the most accessible album for the GP. It's not as dramatic as Born To Die (although it had hits) and Ultraviolence were for them at that time.

NFR haters are the worst by a landslide

Oh Norman Tin Can the polarizer you are

I love this photo of Lana so much! I love the warm colors of this and the soft lightning of it as well. It feels so cosy and nostalgic. It's like the vibe of late Spring/Summer nights in Southern Europe. Also, I love the dress and its soft tone - I love how it's short and oversized, it kind of feels like a very old nightgown but again, it's also equivalent to light Summer dress. Like it's vintage but yet so modern. I absolutely adore how her outfit is paired with golden moccasins which color of it reminds me of the sunlight and its rays. As well, I love her unbothered look and her posing there, she's calm and focused. The reason, why I adore the photo, her outfit and overall look there, is that it's so natural and grounded but yet very classy and sophisticated. Just so mature and serene. It's so soothing to look at!

it just happens that nfr stans are the most loud ones so it feels like that but actually much more people dislike it and im happy to know that and happy not to know what it feels like putting it higher than btd or uv

I highly disagree

 

 LFL haters/Norman lovers (who are usually the same group) are the most insufferable to me

you making this very sweet post about a photo of lana you love while everyone else is fighting about NFR like

 

[Candy Necklace]

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to have a true favorite  There’s times where I like one album more than others, right now it’s LFL and Honeymoon and it’ll be different like next month

I wanted to make an appreciation post for that photo for a long time now but I always forgot to do that and now since people were fighting, I wanted everyone to calm down before things would've have gotten ugly, so I used the opportunity to post that cute photo.   I don't start fights but I'll stop 'em all by any means.

I don’t get why everyone doesnt Like LFL. NFR fine hate on that. But leave LFL out of this. ?

I love both cause guess what? I’m vers  NFR will always be the best sequel to LFL, which contains her most underrated song in her entire discography God Bless America  (really though, LFL is just such a fond album for me, I loved that era so so so much)

Lust For Life will forever be my favorite album, but I can still accept the flaws with it. COTCC is also another favorite of mine, and I can also see the flaws with it.

The difference I’ve found is (typically, obviously not every single one of them!) most Norman fans won’t accept anything less than Norman being her absolute best and refuse to acknowledge any flaws/valid complaints against the album.

 

I’ve never been one to say one album is ‘objectively her best’ since it’s all matter of opinion, but (again, some, not all!) NFR lovers are the FIRST to tell you how wrong your opinion is if you don’t place it on the golden seat.

People who hate on any Lana album are equally annoying. It's fine to have preferences and think that one album is better than another, but to actively hate on any of them or think they're bad just means you lack taste  

 

They are all gorgeous works of art in their own right

Yeah, unfortunately her fandom seems to attract lots of tóxicas that have made me feel a bit alienated, but I also think I’m just getting older lol. I typically don’t like fans who hyperfixate on any album/producer of hers and put down others for what they like, it’s such juvenile behavior.
