And then there’s Donoghue…

imagine if we actually gave a fuck
wouldn't that be something to talk about for us?

this. I've never understood why people would ever want a song of leaked unreleased songs. instead of getting music, we get music we already have. Lana's also does her best work when she has a vision for an album/era, so throwing together a bunch of unreleased songs that weren't good enough to make past albums would just feel low effort.
 
The only reasons I can see myself being excited about an album of leaked unreleased songs are:
If releasing it didn't delay her next album at all. If I knew that she already had another album in the works and she was truly releasing this just as a bonus to fans or to get money for songs that are being streamed millions of times on YouTube with no money going to her, I'd be cool with it. It would be nice to have high quality versions of her best unreleased songs and have them easily available across all streaming services Also, not going to lie, I'd get super excited if she re-released AKA with a full physical CD and fully designed booklet, maybe even rereleasing old music videos remastered from that era, etc. I'd definitely buy that and be down for it.  
I guess my biggest problem would come in if she promotes it as a brand new era with a bunch of hype and then we get the tracklist and it's just songs we already have. If she instead just posted on IG and said "This is a bonus collection of songs to my fans available next week" and dropped the album, I'd be a lot more content with that.

LANA DEL REY AUTOMATIC SONG RANKER
Hi everyone! Awhile ago, there was an automatic song sorter on the infamous Moy's tumblr, but since his tumblr was removed, there hasn't been another that was frequently updated. So, I made my own.
I made three editions: one with just her released content, one with her unreleased content, and a complete version that includes both released & unreleased as well as special live performances, collaborations, covers, etc.
In case you don't know how it works, there will be "battles" where you are shown two songs and select which one you like the best.
After all of the battles are completed, the ranker will show you a list of the songs in order from what appears to be your favourites to your least favourites. It's pretty accurate!
Pro tip - although there are "no opinion" and "I like both" options, I recommend to not use these at all to have the most accurate results.
 
Released Version: trashsugarmagic.tumblr.com/lanadelrey (updated April 2023)
Unreleased Version: trashsugarmagic.tumblr.com/unreleased (updated March 2020)
Complete Version: trashsugarmagic.tumblr.com/ldr (under construction, incomplete)
 
If you all have any suggestions or spot any errors, please do not hesitate to let me know!
Have fun and feel free to share your results below!

After 300 battles i gave up like no too much work

I can definitely see it being a mood thing. This album is very emotionally heavy and slow for the majority of it. I also think this one of those albums where the songs are stronger together as one album than listened to individually. I’ve found myself listening to the album a lot, but mostly only going from start to finish. There are a good chunk of songs that aren’t usually my favorite style to listen to on their own, but I love them in the context of the album.
 
I also think that because it’s a more experimental and nuanced album, it’s less accessible, which means it’s probably not going to be as replayable or as easy/quick to listen to as a lot of her other music. If you’re not in the mood for it, it’s an hour and 18 minutes of heavy emotions and of pretty much the same dark, slow mood until the last 3 tracks or maybe until grandfather or LTLI.
 
This is kinda the same reason I can’t listen to the entirety of UV or HM a lot. I think they’re both masterpieces in their own way, but digesting them as a whole is a LOT. I need to be in a certain mood for them.

got to 70% and then left for too long and the page reloaded.. like did i ask you to do that, no

no, i can already listen to her unreleased songs just fine, why would i care if they're released, or if they stay unreleased?
