For me it's "Summer bummer". It has really grown on me. A lot.

I'm dying to hear Wild One, especially since it was written alongside with Beautiful People, my favorite song on the record. However I don't think she would include a 2015 song if she actually released an EP later this year of in 2018. Not even sure she would put Roses Bloom For You on it, it seems to be such a secondary song for her.
 
By the way, for LDR6, I have three different ideas in my mind about what I would like her to do:
- something really acoustic, in the Pawn Shop Blues style. Very light productions with mainly classic guitar, and sometimes touches of other instruments, to create something soothing, beautiful and calm that would put the priority on her voice. I would like her to get rid of the beats she put in way too many songs on LFL - When The World was literally ruined by it.
- something that would be inspired by grunge rock, with a 1990's vibe; something rawer and more genuine, less modern, less sophisticated and hi-fi than Ultraviolence was. Maybe even with some psychedelic elements sometimes, like Cruel World meets Nirvana.
- something that is more likely: just sad songs with layered vocals, powerful and beautiful melodies, and depressing productions - in the Fine China / Yes To Heaven style.

=================================================================
 
History was made July 21, 2018 chart, when  Lana's Born to Die  has spent 312 weeks on the chart- SIX FULL YEARS
This thread started back the week of May 27, 2017 Billboard magazine chart issue,when Lana hit 275 weeks
on the Billboard 200 Album charts (this is the every genre, all album, old and new from the first charts to the current chart, best selling)
 
ON JAN. 16, 2018, FOR THE CHART DATED JANUARY 20, 2018, LANA ACHIEVED HER 300TH WEEK ON BILLBOARD 200 ALBUM CHART.
ON JULY 21, 2018 CHART- LANA NOTCHED THE 312TH WEEK, 6 FULL YEARS ON THE CHART.
 
background-
Lana Del Rey now proudly is in the Top 25 Albums of all time based on weeks on the chart, six full years
Only 24 albums in history have been on the chart for 300 or more weeks (it doesn't have to be consecutive)
Only 21 albums In history have been on the chart for 312 weeks or more (six full years)
And is now #3 for all female artists, all genres.
 
 
This achievement cannot be taken away, each week on the chart adds to the length of time,
and though like in baseball, others may reach the level, each person on the list has achieved history very few have.

nice to see Rick Newells agrees with me
from the above interview-
 
Where do you feel this album fits into Lana’s catalog overall?
Lana is a career artist, a defining artist of her generation. I see her as a link on the chain along with Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, and all the great once in a lifetime singer/songwriters. She’s created her own language and her own genre. She’s always inspired and actively creating her body of work. This album is her next offering.
​

i cannot understand how shit like this can happen after 5000+ years of humans living together as a civilization......... and supposedly we are the most evolved/smart species........
 
 

ummm...no. she's CLEARLY having the time of her life.
 
umm...why? we'd like to see her to you know?
 
you are blessed. <33
 
 
i don't understand the complaining with her interacting with the audience and not always singing every single line.
maybe it's because i've really only been to rock shows but it's alot of fun to have the frontman (or in Lana's case the singer) to interact and let you participate and want to hear you. people usually love it...
 
ya'll are so picky...can Lana ever make any of you guys happy? i just 100% don't understand.

For me it's "Summer bummer". It has really grown on me. A lot.

Wait, what???! I've been spending time offline for a few hours and SOMEONE DARED TO JUMP ON STAGE?? TO HUG HER??! NO. Just no. You don't do that. Oh my god, poor Lana. That's just as bad as stealing her cars or "surprising" her at her home.
Maybe I'm exaggerating but this is definitely not ok!!

Btw here are the 2 videos i shot that night
 
Music To Watch Boys To

 
Change

It wasn't just someone, Rick Nowels himself said it in a Pitchfork interview. Actually I'm glad we got this stripped down version of the song – there are 15 other songs on the record with beats etc. so having one song without any further instrumentation and production is a gift imho.

From the officially released stuff I don't like "The Other Woman" and "Terrence Loves You".

We're warming up for tomorrow! I can't wait

This record definitely gets better with time. I love it so much! Everything about it just represents how crazy of a ride this year has been for me. It's so close to my heart. The first 3 songs, Love - LFL and 13 Beaches are each individually representations of how my mindset has unfolded this year. The pre-release thread is also something i always think of whenever i'm listening to the album and it just has me cackling.
 
Yes, the record has many flaws imo (TNC and Coachella). But without them it just wouldn't be the same. Coachella is an awful song that we love to hate. It's not even THAT bad but it's just fun to pick on it.   Overall i just love how this album has helped me survive throughout this year and meeting all of ya'll in the process is just the Cherry on top of it all.
 
:kiss: :kiss: :thankyou: :thankyou:  

is this really everyone's idea of enjoying the album

So she seems to sacrifice her musical carreer for the sake of the entire "Poppy project" (= making generic pop music to mock generic, dumb pop stars)...

its always the same: the trashy taste members appears after a week when everyone who likes it aint here lol 

All I'm saying is next album she don't need any features, like don't get me wrong I love 'Lust For Life' and 'Summer Bummer' but she is perfectly fine doing an album without anyone on it.
 
Stevie sounds nice on BPBP and although I'd rather TNC was a solo, I've warmed to Sean on the song. Groupie Love is nice too but again Its just nice.
 
I'm glad though she's explored a few different things on this album, and the features are nice, I just think she doesn't need them.

Yaaaas my signed CD arrived via forward2me

LDR6 better be a dark messy album full of chaotic songs like Cruel World and Shades

Lana Del Rey Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart, Tyler, The Creator and Meek Mill Bow at Nos. 2 & 3

Okay but Love,13 Beaches, Cherry, White Mustang, Heroin and Get Free are already Lana classics.
