    I've been aware of Lana Del Rey since her "Born to Die" record but "NFR" was the first album of hers that I listened to from start to finish as there were a few of the singles that really appealed to me. The album is a masterclass in understatement. Every song is infused with so much melody, much of it in Del Rey's vocal lines.

The album is a masterclass in understatement. Every song is infused with so much melody, much of it in Del Rey's vocal lines. Her voice and lyrics are the star role here but these are backed by immaculately produced arrangements. The singles all come early in the album and while the tempo drops as the album progresses, the quality doesn't drop at all. The dreamy, druggy mood created by sounds and lyrics is something else. I'll definitely be checking out her other albums based on this.… Expand

    After listening to just a handful of songs I can assure you that Norman F##king Rockwell is another of Lana del Rey's knockout masterpieces. "Hope is a Dangerous Thing..." in particular is an amazing song.

    Lana is the most exciting and unpredictable poet and musician in our lifetime. I feel lucky to be her contemporary and I am looking forward to the next step in her career.

    The long awaited fifth studio from Lana Del Rey is here and it's safe to say that it was worth the wait. "Norman **** Rockwell!" is a great record, very delicately written and mixed with the help of the super talented Jack Antonoff, and sung with the same graceful, soft, and swooning vocals Del Rey has been blessing us with.

    Definitely a step-up from Lana's last record, "Lust for Life", which was experimental in its own way, this new one contains some of the best tracks she has ever delivered. The album opens with Lana singing 'Goddamn man-child / you **** me so good I almost said I love you' on the title/opening track, which then moves to tracks such as 'Venice **** a 9-minutes treat that has the tenderest melodies, and lyrics that'll definitely give listeners summertime sadness (pun-intended) and 'Love song', which has the best verses on this entire record. The placement of 'Cinnamon Girl' right after it is a beautiful step in the right direction. The last track on this album, 'hope is a dangerous thing', is the best possible closer to such an adventurous, eventful collection of songs.

    Even though it could've used a shorter tracklist ('Doin' Time' could've been cut, for example), "Norman **** Rockwell!" will definitely be remembered as one of Lana Del Rey's finest works.    … Expand

The middle of the album, with tracks such as “Love Song,” “How to disappear,” “California,” and “The greatest” is a collection of stunning, cinematic sadcore surf-rock heavy-hitters — one right after the other—and also rank among Lana’s best. Lana is making art and making statements like no one else in the industry. In this record she continues to prove the value of her voice, and the value of the story she tells; modern music wouldn’t be the same without her and we are so grateful an artist like her exists.… Expand

    I personally was not too taken by her last couple of albums, and I’m not saying they were bad, they just missed the mark for me, failing to hit the quality of both Born To Die and Ultraviolence. But this album has truly proved me wrong, exceeding both these albums in every way. Lana has truly outdone herself, proving herself to be a true artist and will be remembered for this album for decades to come.    … Expand

    While this album is lyrically Lana at her finest, Jack Antonoff’s and Rick Nowell’s productions make sure to bring this album to its deserving status as a contender for Album of the year. At no point in the album does the production seem too over the top compared to Lana’s vocals and the production has made sure to embellish lana’s voice instead of taking the attention away from it. EvenWhile this album is lyrically Lana at her finest, Jack Antonoff’s and Rick Nowell’s productions make sure to bring this album to its deserving status as a contender for Album of the year. At no point in the album does the production seem too over the top compared to Lana’s vocals and the production has made sure to embellish lana’s voice instead of taking the attention away from it. Even when the production does seem to take the attention away, we get a masterpiece like Venice **** where the psychedelic synths get their own lime light as lana intimates her harmonies. The best track of the album is highly debatable. California is a song that even Antonoff could not hypothetically deliberately besmirch given its classic Lana formula of the poignant nostalgia compounded with her signature sadcore voice and lyrics. Cinnamon Girl with its subliminal beats and a delicately puissant outro can easily be put in the top tier of all the songs released this year. The next best american record, a run-away ‘Lust for life’ track is worthy of its title and coalesces the general sound of both the albums with absolute dovetail. Doing Time, a cover of the memorialised Sublime track, is sure to not fail the original and is one of the only tracks on the album that Lana has allowed herself to sing in an upbeat melody. Mariner’s Apartment Complex, the first introduction to the then-unnamed record, was and continues to be a song that encapsulates the general production of the album : music to listen to while you drive off into the sunset. Happiness is a butterfly is a track which, like Norman **** Rockwell, the title track, finds Lana at her most assertiveness taking the steering wheel of the relationship and speaking up to the subject of the songs which she, arguably, has never done in her previous records. The greatest, a standout among standouts, with the first guitar chord being struck is bound to compel the listeners to vicariously reminisce their own lives as Lana does and also have a political conscience of accepting whats happened and moving ahead with the change of times. Hope is a dangerous thing, released well before the album, is a song for the generation that has grown up to and with lana’s repertoire. With a simple piano progression, lana moans over the life she lives and the life she could have but ultimately resigns to the facts of life and clings on to hope, which is paradoxical to her way of life, as the only thing that has and always will be her guilt and boon. The 2 songs: Bartender and How to Disappear seem to be the only two songs that don't quote match up to the prodigal attributes of all the other songs on the record. The former inundated with references ranging from ladies of the canyon to Crosby, Stills and Nash seems lyrically too ambiguous. Ironically, she has been sober for 9 years and ascertains it in the track. But sonically, doesn't seem to fit into the sanguine and placid energy of the entire record. How to disappear, though lyrically a masterpiece, doesnt seem to be coherent with the production and while the live acoustic performance of the song raised hopes for the song, the production is nothing short of a let down. But, to end this review on a highly positive note, ‘Love Song’ and **** it I love you” are the last tracks on this review. Live song, with the enthralling strings and the soft piano accentuate the delicate poetry that lana’s song-writing is. “In your car, I’m a star, and I’m burning through you” almost whispered so subtly, can only make the anticipation for the upcoming poetry book much more unbearable. And with **** it I love you”, the only song apart from Doin Time, spends part of its run time with mellow instrumentals and part of its run time with Lana declaring **** it” to the trademark Antonoff synths and strings. The song delves into dark imagery juxtaposed by neon delivered with multitudes of lana’s vocal styles, ranging from the high note deliveries to an almost mumbling singing. Over all, the album ranks above Ultra-violence only because of the emphasis on lana’s vocal mastery and ingenuity is much more limpid in comparison on this album. So yes, it is the most intimate, personal, mature and beautiful record on lana’s repertoire and most definitely one of the most prolific albums in the alternate scene this year.… Expand

    We get a strong sentiment that no song on this record was thought out throughout its process of creation to be a commercial success or a radio friendly track.

    Este é o melhor álbum da Lana, e um dos melhores da ultima década!
    As músicas são envolventes e os vocais são divinos. Lindo instrumental e produção. 10/10

    Um álbum conciso em uma temática espetacular, retratando temas atuais e de grande importância. Mais uma vez Lana Del Rey apresenta ao seu público um material de alta qualidade e sem distorções sonoras. PERFEITO!

    This album is a whole new level for Lana's music. Showcases a more mature artist who found out how to write the topics she usually writes about but not in surface level, but in a developed way. Jack Antonoff seems to be the perfect match for her: each of them bent over their own previous style to a middleground of 60's surf music.

Jack Antonoff seems to be the perfect match for her: each of them bent over their own previous style to a middleground of 60's surf music. She has embraced this imagery so well in this album that now Lana Del Rey actually has developed the character to the point the character does not longer exist as an alternate version of the person itself that portraits it. We can feel true emotions by the mix of her singing mixed with the beautiful and polished production. It's an album most likely to make you cry at least in one song, beacuse it's so intimate. Standouts for me are Cinnamon Girl, California and the greatest.… Expand

    I really didn’t expect to love this album as much as I did; I had only heard Born to Die before and it was just ok to me.

My favorite tracks are...all of them lol, but if I had to pick three, I would say Hope is a dangerous thing..., Bartender, and (OMFG) Venice **** are the best songs. Venice **** has got to be her magnum opus for sure, with its enormous length and audacious instrumental half way through. I’ve already listened to it seven times in the past day and I’m going to go ahead and say that it will be my favorite album of the year!! Go listen now!… Expand

    The cover is beautiful and so original I can feel a strong summer breeze in california. The album reminds me shows me a firm and solid Lana with the career, this is amazing. Some songs remind me of the Brazilian style 'Samba-Cança'. This is one of the best releases of the year without a doubt. It's Contemporary, it's natural, it's melancholy, it's hopeful. Thank you Lana.

    Lana's most accomplished work to date. Norman F*cking Rockwell! showcases Del Rey at her most insightful, poetic, and consistent. No dip in quality exists on this album, a fully-realized portrait of Lana Del Rey's continued artistic evolution.

    Highlights include 'Venice B*tch,' 'F*ck it I love you,' 'Love song,' and 'Cinnamon Girl'.

    It's a remarkably sharp pop record that retains her fascination with pop-culture iconography and the rosey simplicity of a post-war America where classic rock and blue jeans ruled and takes them to much deeper places. ... Think of it as an hour-long car ride peeling down the highway with classic rock blaring out of the radio and no real destination in mind other than where your impulsive nature might take you.

    A thematically rich record, heavy on mood and elegantly written in a way that positions Del Rey between Eve Babitz and Carole King. There are beguiling and evolving melodies underneath the spare piano and acoustic arrangements. [Nov 2019, p.24]
