Do songs that she's performed live count as "released"? If so: Her Best (though they're not organized in any particular way): 1. Boarding School, and if songs she's performed don't count, then Put Me In A Movie/Little Girls 2. Lolita 3. Freak 4. Cruel World 5. Bel Air Her Worst: 1. The album version of Terrence Loves You (I like the live performances of it, though) 2. The album version of Black Beauty (I like the demo) 3. Gramma 4. Smarty 5. 24

I want Lana to cover Paint It Black (by The Rolling Stones) for her next album. It reminds me of Black Beauty, and it's a really good song.

Apparently, after Vertigo's amazingly terrible post, this is an unpopular opinion but: Lana Del Rey - or, I should say, Elizabeth Grant - is a fucking human being and not some Dance-on-Command doll. She's depressed? So? She's a person. She has every right to feel human emotions. It's utterly selfish to think we're owed anything.

I doubt this is unpopular at all but: I would really, really like Lana's label to give her the Bootleg Series treatment. It would be nice to get her unreleased work officially put out (and in better quality). Like the original version of the Ultraviolence album, Lizzy Grant-era demos, live performances, etc. could all be put out onto CDs and stuff. They've done it for so many artists and bands, she should get it done for her.

This is more an opinion about her listeners but, I really don't know what people were hearing when they'd call HBTB or any of Lana's songs 'trap'. Have you heard any trap songs? at best, it's a watered down almost-trap beat. at best.

I don't care about shallow lyrics, but you could compare Lana's recent work to hear earlier work and tell that as it progressed, it got a lot simpler lyrically.

I know that there have been other covers of DLMBM, it's just that her Nina Simone covers aren't nearly as good as the others. It's not even that they were bad, it's just that compared to Nina's versions and even to the other covers...they lacked something.

A few days after release...I think Honeymoon is simultaneously both her musical best and her most...boring. I like the songs, but something about the album as a whole bores me to tears.

Context. The reason they commented on it is bc people are assuming it's about AB because of the "ghetto" line. x_x I doubt the song is at all about her, but if it was about her and she was calling her ghetto, that would be fucked up.

First, nobody knows who Art Deco is about except Lana. It might not be about anybody at all. Second, while Azealia Banks has her own problems, her reaction isn't all that weird considering that Lana stans are bugging her into commenting on a song that may not even have anything to do with her. They're creating drama where there isn't any and acting like it's AB's fault.

So, after a listen in high quality, I think Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood and the interlude are good (before, I didn't like it or the interlude). I think this might be Lana's best work in terms of consistency and musical content, though Born To Die remains her best in terms of playfulness.

it's so awful tho. I couldn't get past the beginning.

lol. I only like Put Me In A Movie and Yayo, tbh.

Honeymoon > Ultraviolence > Born to Die >>>>>>>>> AKA (and Sirens/From The End/Young Like Me, if we include those in her discography)

I love the entire album except Terrence Loves You (I'd really like it if it didn't have the beeps/whatever that is in the background) and Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood.

can someone PM me a link?!

is there a reason why you're such an insufferable dickhead?

I would like it a lot more if it didn't have those annoying beeping background noises. I don't know if they can be heard without earbuds, but with my earbuds in they sound like chalkboards being scratched.

I like certain LDR remixes (there were a few good Video Games and Blue Jeans ones, and a good West Coast one), but I dislike the rest. Especially the shitty Cedric Gervais ones. All of the remixes of her slow songs turn out so badly because they just slap the slow vocals over an EDM beat. -__-

And? The music is boring. B O R I N G. She has lyrically beautiful, non-boring music.

Honestly, I don't get the fascination with Lana's May Jailer music. Most of it is so unbelievably boring to me. I only really like Bad Disease and the parts of How Do You Know Me So Well.

Yeah. I actually love BTD's production. There's something about Black Beauty that doesn't feel right to me. I don't like the sound.

When I first heard it, I thought it was simply about love. Now, I think it's her reflecting on her own mortality and the life she's lived.

I like both versions of Black Beauty but I feel like there should have been a middle ground between the simplistic demo and the overproduced final product.

It was in one of the threads about her old private Facebook. They had a bunch of screenshots and she mentioned AG in one or two of them. They really are extremely creepy. (They'd have "Young People's" meetings where the young girls would be coerced into having sex with one of the older guys, and that occurred in multiple spin-offs of the Atlantic Group and Pacific Group.)
