I certainly like it - great song and very well sequenced. I've played **NFR!** at least 150 times since it came out late last August, and am also blown away each listening session by its strength from start to finish - the consistent quality of the songs, and the power of the emotional & musical journey that Lana guides us along. Among critics, it was the [overwhelming pick as best album of 2019](https://www.metacritic.com/feature/critics-pick-top-10-best-albums-of-2019) ... it's my favorite album of the 2010s ... and I think its going to continue to grow in stature among critics, audiophiles & other serious music fans. **NFR!** is going to be a hard one to top, and Lana definitely knows that. Expectations for [**Chemtrails over the Country Club**](https://lanadelrey.fandom.com/wiki/Chemtrails_Over_the_Country_Club_(album)) couldn't be higher. But let's be real here: Even the Mona Lisa has its flaws. I have about 5,000 albums in my library - vinyl, CD & digital - and not even the best of them are *perfect*. But [**NFR!**](https://open.spotify.com/album/5XpEKORZ4y6OrCZSKsi46A?si=vudF3FP7Q3qJgMwE5YIOmA) is about as good as it gets, IMHO - up there with the best albums ever made. I just added it to my all-time Top 21 ... and the most recent other album on that list is Lucinda Williams' 1998 masterpiece [**Car Wheels on a Gravel Road**](https://open.spotify.com/album/074Kr9hvgYLxCWiVhcWT7x?si=rhCW90WMTc-nAx_RDy7f0A). (If you're curious about the other 20 in that desert-island record bin, [this playlist](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7MfNh3F1ES57mKYILycdGN?si=HoWsO01XRiqO-6mTu3VZFw) contains a song from each album, in order - from Love's [**Forever Changes**](https://open.spotify.com/album/2amHBpP8C0EUy6yBNy6nN6?si=yG09034-RUmbmZMw3vumxw) to CCR's [**Chronicle**](https://open.spotify.com/album/03GKkfyog7hnllilFS3jIV?si=S8oA_O3yQI-f9i9mPLfSPA)**.**)
