Poor Stacy

Anyway. Another AWFUL!!!! 4/5 review for us to bitch about (lolz): https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/reviews/lana-del-rey-ocean-blvd-album-review-b2304184.html

added another person to my ignore list Candy Necklace (piano vinyl rip mix) on repeat

i thought she was implying she chose music/her art because her mentioning that was tied to the creation of this album but i could be wrong. it's Lana.

it is kind of funny that we were being so dramatic because the reviews so far are very good* * = (the line of best fit + DIY can rot tho w/ their 7/10s)

idk. it's weird. we got a ton of reviews on a Sunday and now IG posts!

this is weird since they sound completely different, lol

awww, is she saying the "fig" she ended up picking is music/her art? that lowkey makes me emotional i'm so thankful for her art

the basket of pills this truly is her pink era she really chose the best cover for the album, i love that polaroid

Lana, pls post a pic w/ the iconic ALOHA necklace again pls.

yesssssss. preach. that part of makes it standout, when

how in the fuck is this album "one note". at least back up your shit. y'all really just be saying anything.

Her IG post about the reviews had me gasping This is why I stan her That everlasting 'fuck you' energy. My unhinged queen. Forever.

yes, I believe the reviewer was taking a shit during Candy Necklace and just made something up, sadly. that or Digital Deluxe incoming~

Yeah, CN is pretty much everything BUT "road ready glitch pop", so ... ?????

Sputnik is a reactionary reviewer. They hate Lana, always have, so they only review her albums to bring down her score. Chemtrails was at an 85 before their 30/100 score sent her to 81. That's why a higher base score is nice to have since the reason they review her is solely to tank her.

What upsets me is the idea of putting a bunch of critics in a room together for 80 minutes to listen to the album. This album should be listened to alone, a couple times at least, with full focus. People leaving the room and missing full songs to write a review after one listen is a total joke.

Popmatters, A.V. Club, AllMusic, Consequence, and Slant are most weighted for MC, I believe. Those are the really important ones.

Why are all these reviews randomly coming out?!?! The Guardian - 4/5 NME - 4/5 Mojo - 4/5 Rolling Stone UK - 4/5 DIY - 7/10 The Line of Best Fit - 7/10

I don't really listen to Paradise much anymore, but that's it. Genuinely sad to see White Dress mentioned so much, I think if you've only listened to it once or twice you never really gave it a chance. I'm only defensive because it's easily Top 10 Lana for me.

between the pushback, all the random insiders, and being taunted with LQ leaks for 3 weeks, it’s been really exhausting. Not my fav pre-release.

I will say,

Dealer definitely belongs on Blue Banisters. I’m happy she used all fresh, brand new material here.

I have such a soft spot for this album. I feel like I completely understand what she was aiming for with it. It’s a shame it was so overshadowed by the controversy and state of the world at the time. I remember listening to White Dress for the first time and crying, hahaha… It hit something deep in me. Potentially her most beautiful album to me.
