if his campaign STAGED this, he SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN, INSANE BEHAVIOR!

i agree that, for the most part, her songs are the way they are meant to be, but i feel like there's a few exceptions... or, well, maybe more than a few i feel like the final version of lolita should've just been the 4th demo, it's the perfect mix between the first demo and the album version, keeping the bass guitar and the james bond feel of the first demo, and including the strings of the final version, or, alternatively, it could've been more sly and subdued, like the second demo, which is the version i like the most i do not like the paradise version of yayo, i just find it to be so much inferior to the original version on AKA, which is my #1 favorite lana del rey song, i would've just preferred she never re-recorded it, but if i had to change anything about it to improve it, i would change the vocal delivery, and get rid of all of that extra, unnecessary reverb i would change the sound and execution of the other woman, the only song off of ultraviolence i don't like, i just... don't like it, but i can most certainly hear the potential, and it's a song that's very her i would just get rid of don't let me be misunderstood, i feel like swan song would've been a great closer, although i do like the ending-credits feel that don't let me be misunderstood as a closer has, i haven't listened to it very much, but when i have, i feel bothered by the production, maybe the amount of reverb summer bummer should have more of a hard, raw beat like the so good demo has i agree that coachella - woodstock in my mood would've been better with a more stripped-back, vulnerable production, like with mostly piano, but i still like it for what it is beautiful people, beautiful problems should've retained the stripped-back, raw sound of the first demo, it doesn't have to be as depressing as the original demo, but i sort of don't like the new lyrics in the final version, and... i would not include stevie nicks, nothing against her AT ALL, but i don't think she works on that song change should've had better production, recording and including a song on an album you recorded like a week before the release of said album just isn't really a good idea TNBAR shouldn't have been changed if you lie down with me probably should've just retained whatever sound it had during the ultraviolence era, depending on how complete it was... i didn't like it when blue banisters first came out, and i listened to it the other day, and... it's worse than i thought it was... beautiful should've just been scrapped wildflower wildfire should've used a real piano instead of the MIDI piano thunder, nectar of the gods, living legend, and cherry blossom all needed to be COMPLETELY re-recorded and re-worked judah smith interlude should've been replaced with zodiac kintsugi should've been less muffled grandfather... needed a complete lyrical re-work, also, it just doesn't honestly feel like a lana del rey song

1. Lana Del Ray Aka Lizzy Grant 2. Ultraviolence 3. Sirens 4. Honeymoon 5. Born To Die 6. Paradise 7. Did You Know... 8. Norman Fucking Rockwell 9. Chemtrails Over The Country Club 10. Lust For Life 11. Blue Banisters

i hate this argument, we aren't hypocritical just because we choose not to listen to a song made by somebody who's done awful things while still using iphones or eating meat, it's completely unrealistic to expect people to be able to completely eliminate supporting unethical people/businesses out of our lives, even if we do our absolute hardest to not support bad people and bad corporations, we practically need smartphones to participate in society, and not everyone can go vegetarian/vegan for a variety of reasons, i know you aren't bothered by people doing these things, you just find it hypocritical that people will condemn one thing but not everything... but most people would agree that sometimes you can separate art from the artist, or, at least, it doesn't make you a bad person to listen to a song produced by dr. luke, but people should have the choice to not want to engage with his work without being told they're hypocrites or that they have selective outrage because they still eat meat

Lana Del Ray Aka Lizzy Grant - Lana Del Rey

digital bath is so good

don't feed the troll

I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH

it's... fine, kinda catchy though i genuinely CANNOT believe people are saying it's better than A&W... the pinnacle of recency bias

.

candy necklace and zodiac are both amazing songs that can both co-exist in peace

all of the lolita demos are better than the album version lol

adding onto this, she covered it was a very good year live in 2011, so i definitely think it was an intentional reference

okay so i watched the music video for summer song and it's definitely inspired by lana but it wasn't that bad, i mean, so many artists nowadays are inspired by her and sometimes very obviously and egregiously so, but i like remy bond's execution, i don't know... there's just something about her i like, i've only heard two of her songs but there's something unique about them despite the obvious lana influence and the music video for summer song is very fun and i like her style and her take on the lana del rey-esque aesthetic, i feel like lana would like her, she seems to be very welcoming and supportive of other artists, i'll have to check out her other stuff

i'm gonna check out some of her other stuff to see if they're really just copies of lana/lizzy... benzo queen seemed obviously inspired by lana to me, but i mean, so many other alternative female artists are inspired by her or just straight-up rip her off to begin with

she doesn't constantly talk about the album every 10 seconds or release it immediately after announcing it and people automatically assume it's scrapped i mean, she did give us a release month so we'll just have to see what happens
