Album Track Rankings: Now vs Then

[Elle 113,360]

I thought it would be fun to share how everyone ranked the tracks from LDRs albums from when you first heard them compared to how you do now! I was thinking about it yesterday and thought it was really interesting how my taste has changed over the years, and how some of the songs I used to dislike I now love and vice versa. Feel free to share your rankings from as many LDR albums as you wish!

 

 

First, here's my overall current album ranking to see how this may play into my track rankings:

UV > AKA > LFL > NFR > S > BTD > HM > P

 

 

 

Born to Die

There’s some shuffling around here, but it feels like they’ve switched up even more than they have… I feel like the main reason for this though is that I don’t have the desire to intentionally listen to the majority of these songs anymore. If they come on shuffle, sure I’ll jam out, but I rarely purposefully search for these songs to play with the exception of the top 5. Back in the day, this album was all I listened to! It’s all I wanted to hear. BTDPE is still my most played album of all time across all artists, so I probably overplayed some of the tracks. I still have so much love for the album and its tracks, it’s just not as new & shiny to me as it was 8 years ago lol 

Now:

 

 

1. Million Dollar Man

2. Lolita

3. Off to the Races

4. Diet Mountain Dew

5. Born to Die

6. Blue Jeans

7. Carmen

8. Video Games

9. Radio

10. This is What Makes Us Girls

11. Dark Paradise

12. Without You

13. National Anthem

14. Summertime Sadness 

15. Lucky Ones

 

 

Then:

 

 

1. Off to the Races

2. Diet Mountain Dew

3. Million Dollar Man

4. Born to Die

5. Lolita

6. Video Games

7. Dark Paradise

8. This is What Makes Us Girls

9. Blue Jeans

10. National Anthem

11. Summertime Sadness

12. Without You

13. Lucky Ones

14. Carmen

15. Radio

 

 

 

 

 

Paradise

This is probably the most dramatic difference of them all. It’s a whole 180. My initial least favourite track ended up being my favourite! (That sort of happened on purpose too – I really wanted to like the song, so I made it a mission to listen to it more and try to appreciate it, and I ended up just falling absolutely in love with it when I used to just always skip it. I think watching live performances of it helped a lot too. Now it’s my 5^th favourite released song across her whole discography.)

Now:

 

 

1. Body Electric

2. Gods & Monsters

3. Cola

4. Bel Air

5. Yayo

6. Burning Desire

7. Ride

8. Blue Velvet

9. American

 

 

Then:

 

 

1. Yayo

2. Ride

3. Cola

4. Blue Velvet

5. Burning Desire

6. American

7. Gods & Monsters

8. Bel Air

9. Body Electric

 

 

 

 

 

Ultraviolence

There are definitely some changes, but I feel like for my overall track appreciation it’s the opposite of what I described for Born to Die – a lot of these songs were such growers for me. It took me a few listens to really appreciate some of these songs, and Ultraviolence ended up becoming my favourite Lana album. I rarely skip any of these tracks now, except for maybe the last 2.

Now:

 

 

1. Sad Girl

2. Pretty When You Cry

3. Cruel World

4. Brooklyn Baby

5. Is This Happiness

6. Shades of Cool

7. West Coast

8. Fucked My Way Up to the Top

9. Old Money

10. Black Beauty

11. Money Power Glory

12. Florida Kilos

13. Guns and Roses

14. The Other Woman

15. Flipside

16. Ultraviolence

 

 

Then:

 

 

1. Old Money

2. Sad Girl

3. Black Beauty

4. Pretty When You Cry

5. West Coast

6. Is This Happiness

9. Fucked My Way Up to the Top

10. Flipside

11. Guns and Roses

12. The Other Woman

13. Money Power Glory

14. Cruel World

15. Ultraviolence

16. Florida Kilos

 

 

 

 

 

Honeymoon

This is probably the least drastic difference. Only a couple jumps here, but it pretty much stays the same for the most part with some minor order switches. I feel like the reason for this is because of all her albums, this is the one I’ve listened to the least over the years (even with NFR in the mix), so I mostly feel the same way about the songs in terms of what I prefer over the other now as I did then.

Now:

 

 

1. God Knows I Tried

2. The Blackest Day

3. Religion

4. 24

5. Honeymoon

6. Freak

7. Terrence Loves You

8. Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood

9. High by the Beach

10. Salvatore

11. Art Deco

12. Music to Watch Boys to

13. Swan Song

 

 

Then:

 

 

1. The Blackest Day

2. Religion

3. God Knows I Tried

4. 24

5. Honeymoon

6. Salvatore

7. High by the Beach

8. Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood

9. Freak

10. Art Deco

11. Terrence Loves You

12. Music to Watch Boys to

13. Swan Song

 

 

 

 

 

Lust for Life

I feel like these tracks switched around quite a bit, except for my top 2 which have always stayed the same. A lot of these were growers. I really love all of these songs so much still – the only ones I ever really tend to skip are the last 3. This album still sounds so new & shiny to me, so I feel like that’s a reason why some of my tracks have bounced around a bit – just constantly having new appreciation for the songs.

Now:

 

 

1. Cherry

2. Tomorrow Never Came

3. Heroin

4. When the World Was at War We Just Kept Dancing

5. 13 Beaches

6. Change

7. Summer Bummer

8. God Bless America - and All The Beautiful Women in It

14. Get Free

15. Heroin

16. Lust for Life 

 

 

 

Norman Fucking Rockwell

This is another one where the differences aren’t too drastic as the album hasn’t been out for very long, but there’s still some switches here and there. I’ll be interested to see what changes after a few years.

Now:

 

 

1. Cinnamon Girl

2. The Greatest

3. California

4. Hope (iadtfawlmthbihi)

5. Norman Fucking Rockwell

6. Happiness is a Butterfly

12. Bartender

13. The Next Best American Record

15. How to Disappear

 

 

 

AKA Lizzy Grant

This one has some pretty big differences. I see the album in such a different way than I did back when I first was listening to it in 2012. Maybe I tired out some songs which is why the difference is so great, but I think it’s just mostly because my taste has changed. I used to love the more upbeat songs from this album, but now I really love the moody & dark ones, with my top 2 having stayed the same over the years. I still love the entirety of this album so much and always have. AKA is my second favourite Lana album that comes pretty neck & neck with Ultraviolence.

Now:

 

 

1. Yayo

2. For K Part 2

3. Oh Say Can You See

4. Smarty

5. Jump

6. Gramma

7. Kill Kill

8. Mermaid Motel

9. Put Me in a Movie

10. Raise Me Up

11. Queen of the Gas Station

12. Pawn Shop Blues

13. Brite Lites

9. Jump

10. Put Me in a Movie

11. Gramma

12. Mermaid Motel

13. Kill Kill

 

 

 

 

 

Sirens

This is another one with good differences, yet this is only the 2^nd album where my least favourite track has stayed the same over the years. It never did stick with me as much as the others. It’s only as of the past 2 years that I’ve been gaining more appreciation for it. Sirens took me awhile to get into at the start, but I adore this album so much. It truly has some of her best songwriting of her discography and the messages are so deep and meaningful. When I was first listening to this album at the start of 2013, it took me some time to figure out which songs I preferred over the others as they all have that similar acoustic sound, but I’m so certain about my current rank. Once I became more interested in songwriting in 2014, I grew such a great appreciation that I still have for this album and its tracks. I’d love to see her rework some of these tracks one day with her current LDR style.

Now:

 

 

1. Pretty Baby

2. Out With a Bang

3. Bad Disease

4. Junky Pride

5. Drive By (For K)

Id love to do this but I'm too lazy 

[Beautiful Loser 45,666]

I’d love to do this, but I don’t think I ever ranked the songs when I first listened to the albums so I don’t really have anything to compare with, haha.

I’m way too indecisive to do full rankings but I remember not even liking Off To The Races when I listened to BTD for the first time, but now it’s in like my top 5 of all her songs.

I'm ultra intrigued by your BTD ranks - I'm surprised that after all these years, Summertime Sadness is still your top favourite! That seems to be sort of an unpopular opinion among fans who are more interested in the rest of her discography compared to those who just know that one song (aka the locals.) For me, I used to like that song a lot more than I do now, but I have to admit the popularity of the remix tired out that song for me.

Also, respect for the immense jump OTTR had! Don't let @@YUNGATA see what's at the bottom of your current list though.. I remember she used to call me out back in the day when I was an avid Radio h8r

 

 

Id love to do this but I'm too lazy 

I just have way too much time on my hands I think

[YUNGATA 14,944]

I'm literally scrambling to the mod panel to ban ur account @@Ultra Violet     

But for real Radio is THAT BITCH she's who we wish we were, beautiful, melodic, iconic, a layered and immersive masterpiece

Omg haha I totally get that the remixes put people off SS, but it was the first song I heard that made me fall in love with the album, and now that this new demo leaked it's just getting stronger in first place for me! I already loved it so much before the remixes made radio-play so it didn't really affect me much. 

Oh yes and thank god OTTR made it's way up. 

I don't really hate Radio but it's down there because it doesn't really have meaning to me like the other songs do, and honestly, it's not 'bold' enough for me anymore

Omg ive never seen this performance. Her shirt. Her hair. her face. How shes actually loving this song. 

[Barry 5,624]

I don't really have massively different opinions on any album except Honeymoon. All the other albums and the songs I liked the most I liked from the start except Honeymoon. First time hering Honeymoon I never liked it and only played Art Deco , Freak, The Blackest Day and God Knows I Tried from it for months ignoring everything else then over time - I think I actually only got into Honeymoon near when LFL was being released as I went back to it after not liking Lust For Life and Love the singles and thought after not liking Honeymoon much and those two singles that maybe I wouldnt like her music again but then I just got Honeymoon and like almost all the songs Terrence Loves You, Salvatore, Honeymoon, Religion, High By The Beach. Now I like those other songs all more than Art Deco which probably went from my #1 to like #9 favourite.

 

Honeymoon also went from my least favourite of her albums to maybe favourite although I like all her albums the same really and now Lust For Life is the one I like the least.

I think almost the whole set is on youtube, one of my favs to watch because the audience noise is very minimal and the whole thing is so lovingly shot. You can tell the uploader was really enjoying their self and was quite transfixed with lana. The MDM performance is top tier too

That Radio performance is actually what converted me from being a Radio-h8r to a fan! I used to think the original song was too snarky and sassy, very immature, and the line "how do you like me now?" especially bothered me. Contrary to what @@Ultra Violet said, it was too bold for me. After this performance, it became more light-hearted & tongue-in-cheek for me.. less like she was trying to rub it in someone else's face, and more like she was just trying to celebrate her own successes. Now I actually love that "how do you like me now" line, especially when you actually watch how she delivered it in this performance - smirking, almost like she wants to laugh too. Even she knows the line is silly, but that's just the way she felt. Radio is actually now my designated "happy" song whenever I need a song to accompany my feelings of successes lol. 

 

That Jazz Cafe performance is one of my favourites too - I have the audio ripped & in a little album in my iTunes. I love the laid back acoustic approach to this set - and like you said, her Million Dollar Man performance was another standout. Carmen too.

 

& actually, I was right next to the guy who filmed & uploaded these in the queue for her 2017 London show! (which he also has lovely videos of.) I got to know him really well, since we talked for like 12+ hours in that queue. He told me lots about that show, and how it's one of the most magical concerts he's ever been to in his life (& if you check his YouTube page, he's been to a lot.)

He also talked about his experience of meeting Lana after the show and how she was super sweet to everyone and spent a lot of time chatting & signing things - he actually got her to sign a fiver for him lol x

I also really like the instrumental arrangements in the Jazz Cafe set, they're quite reminiscent of some of the BtD demos in how they're structured. And omg!! That's rly cool you got to meet him, I feel like I silently stan a few youtube uploaders but never know who they are or what they're like. The lana fanbase is apparently a small world. I wonder if he's on lb lmao.

Omg your Lana Del Ray, Paradise, & Honeymoon rankings are like complete 180s 

I'm glad I made this thread, because extreme switches like those interest me so much. It's so cool to see how people's tastes change, finding new appreciation for songs, etc. 

(Respect for realising the greatness that is 24, but #justice for AKA Yayo, dropping from #1 to #7... still her best song) x

This was a fun read! I can't really remember my personal rankings from when the albums first came out, but I'm sure they've changed a little bit.

I think my biggest changes were in relation to songs that are no longer part of my playlist. And a song that I like only the instrumental and that was included later ("Groupie Love").

 

Some songs have never been on my playlist, from the beginning, such as: "Heroin", "The Other Woman", "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", "Groupie Love" and "Guns and Roses".
