    Since when did Honeymoon (Pre-Release) thread become "Rank Lana Del Rey's Albums - Top 5"?

    i mean i don't think that saying "it happens for every album" justifies it..lol 
     
    like sure its probably bound to happen..and does happen all the time.. but its just like..were gonna hear it soon anyways why does it have to be leaked? 
     
    its one thing if its a song we probably never would have heard... but snatching it from a store.. when u just have to wait a few more days... thats just desperate and kinda childish lol

    The problem is that if you leak it, it won't stay here, in 10mn it'll be on twitter etc and leak everywhere, killing any attempt from lana to hype the record or mtwb in this final week

    Not when you or somebody else actively tries to leak the album, because that is a much bigger dimension.

    Lmao where's the anger coming from? Some people listen, some people wait, both are fine options and life goes on. Why people get so hung up over what other people choose is beyond me.

    My thoughts on the album. I'm extremely tired, so this is far from being well-written.
     
    Honeymoon (2015) - Lana Del Rey
     
    1. Honeymoon
     
    Nothing new to us, but it remains a gorgeous, Lynchian ( ), swirling, string-laden journey. The climax in the final minute remains one of Lana's best musical moments, particularly because of the incredible vocals she exhibits.
     
    2. Music to Watch Boys To
     
    What stands out immediately about this song is the incredible atmosphere and tropical soundscape. It's one of the best mood-oriented tracks from the album and Lana paints pictures beautifully with her lyrics. The bridge from "nothing gold can stay..." is a highlight.
     
    3. Terrence Loves You
     
    Perhaps the most jazz-influenced track from the album, this one features yet another gorgeous bridge. It's probably one of the most emotional tracks on the record and features some of Lana's best vocals. It may not have the greatest replay value, but it's an undeniably beautiful journey.
     
    4. God Knows I Tried
     
    This track immediately stood out to me due to its Bob Dylan or Joan Baez-esque feel and also because of its captivating lyrics. The self-reflection rather than rumination on a man is refreshing, and the high notes in the choruses and bridge are quite breathtaking. I think this section might be one of her best verses ever:
     
    "Sometimes I wake up in the morning to red, blue and yellow lights
    On Monday they destroyed me but by Friday I'm revived
    Put on that Hotel California, wear my blinders in the rain
    I've got nothing much to live for ever since I found my fame"

    5. High by the Beach

    The first song in a series of chillwave tracks, this one is weaker than the rest, but still contains a wonderful beach soundscape and refreshingly independent lyrics. I love the bridge - she's slaying the bridges this era - and the reference to Put Me in a Movie.

    6. Freak

    This instantly became one of my favorites from the album. It's incredibly sexy, hypnotic, and eerie all at once. The only thing that keeps this song from being perfect is the "stranger than a stranger" line, which feels incredibly juvenile and momentarily takes me out of the song. The bridge might be Lana's most stunning moment.

    7. Art Deco

    This song features a SZA-esque beat, a spell-binding atmosphere, and self-reflective lyrics about a woman who is seemingly beautiful, but shallow under the surface; much like Art Deco as an art. This is how the production of some of the weaker Born to Die songs should have sounded. The visuals for this track have a lot of potential if she chooses to create a video for it.

    8. Burnt Norton (Interlude)

    Not too much to say about this one apart from noting its wonderful production. Lana recites the poem beautifully, and it's a nice transition to the second half of the album. At this point, the album begins to slow down again.

    9. Religion

    This track features some of my favorite lyrics and Lana's best vocals. The soaring high notes in the chorus have the ability to make the listener feel as if they are flying into a new realm, perhaps dreaming of their own unrequited or fleeting love. I love the guitar and minimalistic trip hop beat.

    10. Salvatore

    Transporting the listener to an Italy-set crime drama from the 40s with its sound, this track is one of the very best at painting a portrait with its story-telling. "All of the lights in Miami begin to gleam." I love the reiteration of the soft ice cream imagery in the bridge where Lana fills in the blanks of the story.

    11. The Blackest Day

    Good Lord, what a journey this song is. I was immediately blown away by how powerful the culmination of its production, Lana's voice, and the lyrics are. It's the longest track on the album, but somehow feels like the shortest.

    12. 24

    24 is one of the most lyrically-aggressive tracks on the album and features production that grows with intensity as it progresses. It has a nostalgic atmosphere and concludes in a majestic fashion.

    13. Swan Song

    Featuring affecting, transfixing lyrics, Swan Song is a haunting portrayal of a fleeting relationship. It feels redundant saying the production is gorgeous since it has been so consistent throughout the album, but they really achieved something noteworthy with this track as well.

    14. Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

    As a huge Nina Simone, this was one of my most anticipated tracks. It's a good conclusion to the album, but I can't help feeling a bit disappointed after how incredible the rest of the album was. The production could have been much more dynamic and I expected Lana to do a lot more with her vocals, which had shone throughout the rest of the album.

    ---

    Prior to this listen, I heavily doubted Lana's ability to top the hypnotic, swaying desert rock of Ultraviolence, but she may have accomplished that with Honeymoon. The production is consistently perfect and Lana's vocals sound better than ever. I have read a few complaints about the lyrics, but the album is actually very strong in this department. There are a couple of odd lines, but I feel that the album succeeds immensely in its attempt at surreal, colorful imagery while simultaneously feeling introspective and contemplative. The album may not be a commercial success since it strays even further from commercial expectations, but Lana has somehow outdone herself yet again with this beautiful journey that is her Honeymoon.

    I'm really late but I've never cared for Miley so at first I didn't bother to listen to the album but today I finally did and... I'm completely blown away. I guess it's too soon to say for sure since I've only listened to it twice, but my early impression is that this is among my top 10 favorite albums ever, maybe even top 5. The last time I felt this emotionally exhausted from music was probably when I heard Lana for the first time 3 years ago.

    honestly, once the album is out the singles/covers are completely redundant.
     
    the covers could have images of cows on them for all i care.
