The Album is named after The Artist and illustrator, is synonymous with idealistic visions of American Life , But Del Rey , cast of characters, from serial killers to Sylvia Plath , beat the dream never what it seems (in case you're in doubt, The Album title splits Rockwell's name in two with a word that is not printable on the BBC).

At The Largest, you surveys a country is not living, the Saga of political unrest, Climate Change , the celebrity culture, and also the False Alarm of a nuclear attack on Hawaii, the conclusion: "I think that I, with The Greatest loss of All . "
