CatchTheBreeze

I'm currently sitting in a hotel room in London (which I swore I'd never go back to after I moved to the states) just to see Lana tomorrow. & I've seen her 3 other times out of state! If she doesn't come to me, I go to her lol. & keep in mind, I am by no means wealthy in any way, shape, or form. Just have to choose what's important, and to me, that's Lana.

Since Lana doesn't do tours anymore people travel to other countries just to see her, didn't you know?

That's a big IF... But I didn't expect her to change the setlist at festivals anyway. She should simply stop these and do a proper tour of her own.

I can't believe she wrote change in such a short time frame, that's crazy. I liked reading this more than I did the pitchfork interview

Genius recently interviewed Lana's main producer and co-writer, Rick Nowels, about the making of Lust for Life!

I am salty that certain artists seem to get inflated scores based mostly on their reputation while Lana has the opposite problem. Some artists can deliver a decent album and end up with rave reviews, while Lana keeps moving forward while keeping her unique voice and gets ripped for BTD again. I feel her music is rarely actually on review. Are the songs good or not, I couldn't care less if they're ~authentic~ or not.

If this doesn't surpass HM....

I hate this piece of trash. It seems like he has some weird agenda against Lana. Like how could anyone in their right mind give Ultraviolence a 2 and Witness a 6. That's just objectively wrong.

This album is by far her most honest, open, and emotional which makes me fall in love with it even more imo

fat q tip can choke and rot

I like how in Get Free she kind of has a collaboration with her old self. She says out of the black in her Lana vocals, but then repeats it again with her Lizzy vocals. It's as though she's confronting her dark lizzy grant past and moving on, bringing her old self along with the movement towards finding happiness. Quite fascinating. Every time i hear those strong Lizzy vocals in the song i just picture her old interview at the trailer park... and how far that girl has come since those days.

An album full of Heroin, 13 Beaches and Get free would be outstanding but I'm not sure if I could survive it since it would be an extremely heavy emotional rollercoaster...

Pitchfork really is on fire with their articles about Lana (don't know if it was posted yet) – "Is Lana Del Rey the american Morrissey?"

She said in in the Beats 1 interview (?) that she recorded several tracks with him (but probably for his project) so there's hope for that!

My favourite youtuber atm
 

 
I love how she ALWAYS has something great to say about her music. Out of all the people she reacts to I think Lana is her favourite. 

So The Guardian has been added with an 80. That's a pleasant surprise regarding Lana's harsh words against this one Guardian interviewer a few days ago...

I guess that's what the guy/gal is trying to do - ruin the overall score.
Btw every one of us can write a user review there too to get the score up again!

Some people are so up themselves on this site it's called opinion challenge it but there's no need to go you have no taste trash I swear like it's so dumb and shows a lack of maturity really.

For me it's a tie between HM and LFL - the production is so crisp and rich with details. The most timeless production is probably on UV and HM.
BTD for me is overproduced, too much "loon" and Lana's voice sounds a bit weird and "compressed" if you compare it to all of her other stuff.

love this topic
 
sirens: this album makes me feel like a pure white bird flying through gray haze - frantic, not knowing where to land or where to go. it's a journey down a dirt road in the blue april dawn. it reminds me of rainy days and safe feelings of years past. it gives me eerie vibes, but i love the spookiness and bareness of it. listening is clean, honest. nothing to hide. it can be unforgiving, though, and when i listen i'm often forced to go inward and look at myself. i love listening to sirens on foggy mornings, before the earth has come alive.
 
aka: transports me to my own created home in my heart. where the waves crash blue, the nights fade into black velvet, and the lemonade is sweet under the bright sunshine. aka never fails to make me happy or nostalgic. it's her most "american" work for me and it feels really familiar, like i've heard it before through some cosmic pathway. it reminds me of all things kitsch and brings me immense comfort. i listen to it a lot outside on summer evenings. it's just so carefree, makes me sway contently. i actually get really in touch with my femininity with this album, it's nice.
 
 
born to die: for me, this album represents opulence and absolute glamour. i don't connect it to a particular time in my life, but when i listen to it i can feel the solid gold production in my soul. it's such a loaded album, when i listen i feel like the beats are so heavy hitting and i see such vivid rich imagery, it's like a complete sensory experience. it's the album that can make me feel like a bad bitch gangster queen. although it's definitely a vulnerable album, it makes me feel confident just because of how bold it is. it always makes me excited and puts me in a good, high energy mood.
 
paradise: this album is pristine. it's made of crystal and palm, bathed in the ocean. this one evokes the most connection for me. it reminds of cool fall nights where i would listen to this outside and it would be the happiest part of my days, weeks, months. for some reason, it feels like many many years since i was obsessed paradise. it makes me sad sometimes because i yearn to have those times back. it creates such a lush landscape for me. i was absolutely entranced by the sonic quality of the ep when i first heard it. it's a cinematic lynchian dream that pulls me into another stratosphere where i float on the melodies and strings.
 
uv: wow... this one sparks the most raw emotion for me. brings out something primal almost, my inner wild child. when i listen i experience a slow but sure descent into madness. it reminds me of hot summers, which were confusing but ultimately happy. this album is completely personal to me, i listen and i hear lyrics about me, for me. it's not about relationships, alcohol, etc. it's all me and my anger, grief, anguish, bubbling and spilling over the top in 1 hour 8 minutes. i LOVE listening to uv while swimming, it's so perfect. and i remember listening to it on repeat repeat repeat until all the songs were ingrained in me and spoke something different to me. so yes i love uv for it's unhibitedness and rawness. it's perfect for letting your hair down and getting a bit ugly.
 
hm: honeymoon is sooo dreamy. it makes me super happy because i was on vacation in disney world when it dropped so i had my two favorite things with me: lana and disney . the production has an air-like quality and i find that when i listen i feel like i'm gliding on ice.. it's really nice. hm reminds me of a spring filled with yellow flowers and friendly bees and soft grass. i listen to it while sunbathing a lot! the lyrics on this album are really touching to me & her vocals are stellar. there are so many layers and things to appreciate. this is my go to travel album bc it's easy, beautiful listening. it's an incredible record to lose yourself in. there's no fear or judgment when i listen, just peace and calm.
 
i'll let you know about lfl when she drops

Title. (So Far)

Record per record, how does each record elicit any feelings from you?

Like for me, more or less,
Born to Die, makes me want to hustle. It's such a chaotic album for me to listen to through and through. I seldom go through the album without feeling a bit anxious (though in a good way) and just simply wanting more from life.

Paradise is well, paradise. It really helps me just detox away my feelings of sadness, doubts and fears. It's like that moment of clarity after having a good genuine sob. I used to listen to it in bed, and fall asleep with it on replay til morning. It's a good way of flushing out a lot of repressed feelings. 

Ultraviolence, I feel has more rage than her other records, and I don't like listening to it through and through, bc it just makes me feel, low. There are so many amazing tracks on it so I listen to it on shuffle most of the time. It's amazing for night drives when I've got so much in my mind. It guides me towards a better place to making peace with problems that come around me. It disturbs me the most as a record, it's a dark place to easily visit, so I usually don't..

Honeymoon makes me feel at peace. I know there are moments in it with subtle friction of lost loves, and attempts of making amends with it, but it just gives me a sense of warmth. Listening to it in downtown really contrasts with it when I listen to it in the suburbs, and I like the duality of what the album brings to it, and I think it's title track, is one of the most eerie and frightening tracks I've ever heard. It really depends on my mental state, but it's just so easy to be sucked into it's soundscape.


I want to know how Lust for Life makes me feel. Right now, the tracks have a somber kind of hope, a sort of awareness, and present-ness with today's day and age. It makes me worry, not because I'm not necessarily used to its sound yet, but just because of the album's apparent integration with our own society even more so than Lana's songs. Maybe because we all have a sense that the world today is more fucked up than it's earlier years. I just hope that Lust for Life brings a solid stream of hope and strength for obstacles that we might all face. 


So, what does each record evoke out from you?
