Us waiting for Honeymoon news like -
Having freckles and unnatural hair means that she is inauthentic as a person and not down-to-earth? Let's not.

As a debut album, Lana Del Ray is quite an astonishing accomplishment. An artist's first album usually reflects its creator's identity crisis through a glaring inconsistency, but LDR is incredibly coherent and thought-out. Del Rey had meticulously crafted the sound and imagery of her project. The lyrics, reflecting those from later works, both embody her own personal struggles and utilize a vintage, melodramatic aesthetic to convey these emotions. The album combines a multitude of diverse genres, but rarely feels inconsistent, thanks to the artistry of Del Rey and her producer, David Kahne. The minor missteps are found in tracks that try a bit too hard to sound innovative, particularly in the partly-spoken track, Brite Lites. Fortunately, though, the blips are fleeting moments of experimentation amidst a larger experience and geniously-crafted atmosphere that gradually takes hold of its listener. Most importantly, however, is the ingenuity of this album that solidifies the originality and creativity of an artist, who is far too often misconstrued as being manufactured. 90/100 Recommended listens: Kill Kill, Yayo, Pawn Shop Blues, Oh Say Can You See

I love his work on Old Money and Bel Air (he produced the orchestral version of Young and Beautiful), but imagine how redundant an album mainly produced by him would be. He also has the ability to make exciting material seem dull. His work on Yayo and Body Electric... -

I can't contain my excitement for Lana's take on Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds-esque music. I also wonder how jazzy this will be. Lana said she felt that she was already approaching jazz with tracks like Cruel World and Shades of Cool, which are both bluesy rock tracks. I'm thinking more psychedelic rock with very surrealist lyrics. -
Who the hell cares if her freckles are real or not if she makes incredible music

Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth criticizes Lana in memoir

I think she's trying to say that Lana is a reductive version of Chris Isaak and borrows from his aesthetic. Still ridiculous, but whatever. -

Probably. I do think the surrealistic filters are significant, though. -

It would be really cool if Lana fully embraced surrealism and created music videos in the style of films like 8 1/2, Belle de jour, Last Year at Marienbad, Mulholland Drive, Twin Peaks, etc. -
