All of her records have great lyrics, side by side with average lyrics, side by side with lyrics that make me go 'wtf?', but I don't care that much about lyrics if they're not that good - I take lyrics that move me as a bonus (and on Honeymoon I'd include the title track, TLY, Salvatore and TBD as among her best).
 
Musically, she's gotten better over time, although the high points on BTD are still the most exciting things that she's created for my personal tastes.
 
I don't care that much about music videos, but each 'era' has its own aesthetic, and it feels like it's only on this board that every latest thing gets trashed - in the broader world, people either hate her, or love whatever she does, or move on from her (here is the only place that people love her and hate everything she does at the same time).
 
I don't care about what she wears when she buys coffee, so maybe I'm missing out on a big element of her supposed 'decline', but overall, 2014-now have always been fascinating times for me to be a fan.

The only thing declining is the quality of discussion on this forum.
 
"Video Games" and AKA were what made me a fan. I loved her songwriting on BTD for the most part, but the production was a big disappointment to me. I would absolutely be here if HM had been Lana's debut album. HM is more the record I had hoped BTD would be.

It's strange to think that, once upon a time, the fuss about Lana Del Rey all hinged upon reinvention. As word of her old-timey heartache-pop spread quickly in October 2011 with the phenomenal viral success of 'Video Games', so did debate about just how "real" the character on-screen was. The transformation of New York singer Lizzie Grant into the "gangster Nancy Sinatra" saw her accused by some of the terrible, treacherous crime of inauthenticity. "It's all an act!" cried commenters, as her past was dragged up by internet sleuths. One of the most magical things about pop music is how it allows people to make their own beginnings and choose their own stories, whether it's Brixton lad David Jones becoming a dangerously sexy and androgynous rockstar alien or a dour Manchester youth called Steven Patrick ditching his first two names and become a provincial romantic poet instead. Like Bowie, or Morrissey, or Madonna or Prince before her, Del Rey was just evolving into something else. Which makes it interesting that, for the past four years, Lana has stuck pretty rigidly to the same blueprint. Sure, there's been the odd cosmetic change – a Black Key roped in on production duties here, switching clunky hip-hop affectations for laid-back desert rock there. In the end though, her aesthetic has stayed pretty much still, honed and honed towards arresting torch song perfection. 'Honeymoon', the first taste and title track from her forthcoming third album, suggests it's not going to change any time soon, either. This new track, dropped earlier today, is a sultry waltz with velvety strings that swell and sting, with Del Rey's voice sounding richer than ever before. We've been here before with Lana: a sweeping, gorgeous ballad that's big on faded glamour and fancy danger, that sounds like it could have been lifted from the Blue Velvet soundtrack or blaring out of the radio between news bulletins on the Black Dahlia murders.

Honeymoond thread: "I want ______ 2.0!" "I can't wait for another ________!!!" "I hope there are more songs like ______"
 
Actually makes a song that sounds similar to previous ones: "wtf the lyrics are terrible" "this is so boring" "omg awful"

She should also be in movies physically.

people always bash The Other Woman, but honestly its one of the most stunning songs on UV

I'm sorry but were y'all literally expecting an announcement because of a fucking red moon....

Wait. Isn't that a picture of an eclipse in progress? Neil titled that recent IG post of Lana "Eclipse."
