zasderfght Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 With an album as long as Ocean and with how experimental and clunky it is, are you guys truly shocked we're not seeing NFR! acclaim so far? Anything is possible, but as long as you enjoy the album, that's what matters.
Kevin Parker Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) 47 minutes ago, Amethyst said: The main reason why NFR was so acclaimed (and mainly from reviewers who had previously shitt*d on her) was because she partly ditched her sad weak girl narrative with lyrics like "Goddamn, manchild, you f*cked me so good that I almost said I love you", "You took my sadness out of context...". It's almost as if she put herself on the same level as her lover for once, she was writing from a more masculine point of view than her typical songs "I'm your man". She takes the protective role in California where her man is the person with struggles for once and she offers her help, and in TNBARecord, her man is the obsessed artist instead of her. And not just her lover but society in general with The Greatest, "Kanye West is blonde and gone". It's the cockiness and self assurance of most men in music. That's why Doin Time suits the album so well. What I mean to say with this is that I think that it's the narrative and not the sound what made NFR so acclaimed, albeit the help of Antonoff's legacy. And it's okay if she goes back to her sad girl narrarive with Ocean Blvd and critics just can't take it for what it is. (Still they are not hating on it like with BTD or UV so it's good). Excellent comment. NFR is my favorite album of hers, and I truly believe it is her best piece of work, but it is obvious part of the enormous acclaim was everything you just said. Although I'd add the fact that that record came at the very end of the decade was also what made it the "cultural zeitgeist" it is now. Edited March 22, 2023 by Kevin Parker

ElleDriver Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 idk I feel too grown to care about MC scores... All I know is that this album is seriously great and it reignited my love for Lana and her music and it also made me understand her better as a person. It's a triumph in my book
