The backup vocals for Get Free still have me shook one month after the release, it's honestly so good   I remember being just a bit underwhelmed when the album came out but still it didn't stop me from listening to it everyday

Being that there are over 40 million native-Spanish speaking people in the U.S......... no, it's not really that ironic 
 
Edit: on second thought, maybe it's a "fuck you" to the racists of the U.S. but I don't think it's that deep lol

Remember to always stream Born to Die so it never falls off

=================================================================
 
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.
​

oh i live for the space/cosmic aesthetic tbh which is why i'm so disappointed WM is probably the only mv we're going to get (Get Free could have had so much potential). I'm going to be kept longing, yearning for more :/   Lana is keeping me hungry Y.Y

Found an interview where Stevie recalls her recent collab with Lana on BPBP:

There are still people trashing her magnum opus called Honeymoon? Jeez

She is probably listening to LFL and thinking what to copy for her next album

oh i live for the space/cosmic aesthetic tbh which is why i'm so disappointed WM is probably the only mv we're going to get (Get Free could have had so much potential). I'm going to be kept longing, yearning for more :/   Lana is keeping me hungry Y.Y

she still needs to put four filters over it then make it black and white

Released
Dark Paradise - i miss my late relatives/friend, i'm so depressed about some stuff i wish i had said before they went to the other side of the moon High By The Beach - leave me alone motherfucker Fucked My Way Up To The Top - it's a long story and it's nothing related to sex Old Money, Is This Happiness, Flipside - i'm really depressed nowadays (nostalgic as well) and i miss the times when i was happy, i was the queen of everything a few years ago - 2014 - and i didn't knew it, now i'm in the shittiest moment ever of my whole fucking life Money Power Glory - i need money  my relatives already called me "gold digger" and everyone points on me that "when i get what i want i forgot everything else" and shit West Coast - reminds me + my babygirl singing this song in the class, "she is crazy y cubana como yo my love", i relate to the song  
Unreleased:
Be My Daddy - when i see a pic of my favorite actors/actresses lol theyre older Hollywood's Dead - i relate to the part when she talks about her dead idols, i remind of my late friend and relatives that i loved so much, and yeah, i miss carrie fisher and a few idols (+ same when Lorde talks about her dead icons in Perfect Places) St. Tropez - do i need to explain that? my rising sign is capricorn lmaooo THIS IS A JOKE
theres lots of unreleased songs so i just pointed these two bc theyre good songs

True. With some songs, I enjoy the early versions more than the final ones (National Anthem and TIWMUG in particular), but they would've just sounded weird on Born To Die without Emile's production, IMO.
 
I also think that the extended radio mix of Summertime Sadness should've been on the album, it would've been the perfect closer.

not y'all making fun of people because english isn't their first language...
at least they're trying, give them credit. if it bothers you that much, tell them how to correct it instead of making a rude post for 'likes'

Je suis habitué à lire et à écrire en un anglais assez pittoresque depuis mon inscription sur ce site. De ce fait, la vue de mots français constitue un événement à la fois inédit et surprenant pour moi

oh my god seeing French on this topic is fuckin disturbing

Ultraviolence and Honeymoon are the only two albums I can listen to without skipping any songs
By the way I've recently got into Get Free and I can't believe I didn't even like it at first.. it's one of my favourites now

stop being so rude on here... It's not like there's anything captivating on this topic anyways... going a little off topic happens like 3 times a day and it doesn't hurt anyone
 
enough war in this world, LanaBoards has to keep dancing

Guys we need to come together and get Lana to see this.

I prefer the second half of the album but I find I have to be in a certain mood to listen to it. However I can play TNC whenever. I just wish Heroin got a music video instead of WM...

First Half - Daytime
Second Half - Nighttime
 

Totally. To me, the good parts of this song are verses, which have a good melody and a quite good production. I also like the moment in the second chorus when she sings 'they say only the good die young', it's quite smooth. But the rest of the chorus can choke I'm not a fan of the Weeknd's voice... But this song had a lot of potential, I would die to hear the solo darker version too

For me the chorus has always been the weakest part of the song. It would be so interesting to listen to the originally planned version (the "Bladerunner" sound...).

Just spent forever making this with the YT and iTunes/Spotify version! Hope u like it, ended it a little diff too

Meant to add this earlier, also! But some of may have already seen it.
my Summer Bummer (solo edit) <3 Hope it's of use to some of you guys!

I definitely find myself listening to the last half of the album a lot, especially at night.
