base talk Does NFR by Lana hit harder now?

[BrokenMachine]

With the tragic current events of California's wildfires, personally, an album with lyrics such as 'Topanga's hot tonight', 'L.A. is in flames, it's getting hot', and 'The Santa Ana moves you', the album hits way different now.

 

Back then, those lyrics were reflections of places she didn't wanted to return to, with even the album cover being her getting away from the L.A. in flames behind her, but sadly that place and event is back again

 

[Fender]

yes  

[Dante Silva]

NFR and UV are her biggest classics outside of her debut era. NFR is the one time when even I admit (as a non fan of Jack Antonoff), that he was the right producer at the right time.

Lana is so ahead of her time it's almost like she makes history before it happens, a legend 

[alejandreaux]

it definitely does but a lot of that is because NFR hits me harder every time i listen to it regardless

[Sawk]

Those lyrics in particular hit harder now, but I went through a breakup right before NFR! came out, so it really held a special place for me at that moment of my life. It's still my fave Lana record, it's a CLASSIC staple.

aging like wine

[Bartender]

It's been hitting hard since the day of its release

[CampfireSmoke]

Her poetry book plus the Blue Banisters title track 

 

I said I'm scared of the Santa Clarita Fires
I wish that it would rain

 

She hasn't said anything about the fires yet 

[Kayseri Mantisi]

no, it doesn't. it's worse now. jack antonoff rehashing this sound for 382847 other albums (including Lana's own post-NFR albums) killed all it's magic.

[Taylor fanboy]

 

???

[Riverbank]

Well yes

[VeniceBeach]

Absolutely. That's why it's more acclaimed and remembered than some alt-pop girls' careers

[Bookmark99]

I have actually come to the conclusion that Ultraviolence is her best work.

Yall give way too much credit to this man you pretend to hate. Jack's production was cute on this album but the album shines because of Lana's songwriting. She had a very clear vision and concept for this album and lyrically, it's very on-the-pulse of what's been happening in America for the past 2 decades

Lana is simply the best female songwriter.. her mind is a treasure, its incredible how she gets to write one hell of a song about any subject that haunts her.
