West Coast

80th on 89 songs... and Coachella is ranked at 37th 
 

Lana truly is a mess of a person, which I think is why I love her so much. Also not that Moby thing being completely true

I honestly can't with some of y'all. Acting like this is an adventurous album lmao. It's literally halfway between Ultraviolence and Honeymoon, like the subdued soft melodies, but with a "rockier", stripped down guitar influenced sound, like we haven't heard that from Lana before. Nothing groundbreaking (and with a touch of heavy beats on some tracks so: reminiscent of Born To Die and Lust for Life too).
 
Also it's a fucking acoustic album, this is literally the musical equivalent to the Miranda Priestly quote "Florals for Spring? Groundbreaking..."
 
It's a good album, but to act as if Lana is re-inventing a whole genre or venturing into unknown territory is fucking laughable.
 

WHY do I like everything this thread hates. I love Brooklyn Baby

" 87. “Florida Kilos” (Ultraviolence deluxe edition bonus track, 2014)

Co-written by director Harmony Korine for his unproduced film The Trap, “Florida Kilos” -- the least subtle Lana Del Rey song of all time -- romanticizes the drug trade in Florida. Though the song never uses the word “cocaine,” it crams in seemingly every other term for it. With a jauntier guitar-pop feel than the rest of the album, “Florida Kilos” plays like the soundtrack to a group of line-dancing cokeheads with nothing but themselves on their minds.  "

billboard ?? what?

#1 Hope #2 Video Games #3 Brooklyn Baby #4 Ride #5 Born To Die #6 Shades Of Cool #7 Venice Bitch #8 Young and Beautiful #9 West Coast #10 Love   I stopped reading when I saw The Blackest Day was ranked #80 

Did Billboard really say Hope is the best song of her entire carreer?  I-

I love the record but it's not my favorite and there are many missteps with production, that's a fact. I love NFR (more than LFL obvi) but Honeymoon is still my favorite lol

So which one should be my favorite? LFL? BTD? lol

Exactly. People act like critics are some wandering moses-type figures who speak nothing but truth. Critics have been nothing but horrible to Lana since she came onto the scene as LDR. They hated UV, barely liked HM, and only liked her at LFL. A big part of that is how attitudes towards women like Lana have changed in the past couple of years, but people who can't seem to enjoy an album without trying to tear down her past works don't seem to see that.

You like both albums, yet you mock the stans. Alright. Also, aren't you the stan that was going on tangents yesterday and had this whole theory about Lana being held captive in Interscope's basement? Not saying you're delusional... but that was a delusional moment.

Honestly it's just hilarious how you're always using Honeymoon and Ultraviolence as some sort of leverage to make something that NFR is not.
 
Which also begs the question, if you don't like these albums all that much, what's got you into Lana, sorry but like you jumped from Born To Die right to L*st for Life?
 
Norman Fucking Rockwell is a cute album, but it ain't aaall it. 
 
We all know that if Lana was not at the receiving end of all that hatred in the beginning of her career she would've had critical acclaims after critical acclaims, and THAT is a fact. 

Imagine Lana recording the verses of Cinnamon Girl with the microphone on her EarPods and just adding some reverb to make it sound "studio"-like

It’s brave because they’re expressing intelligent, considered opinions that are clearly expressed. Not just, “it’s iconic,” “it’s her best ever, I’m sobbing,” “I hate it, it’s her worst.”

Agree, there are people ready to jump of both sides of the fence, and I'm at peace with that. I'd much rather have lively (but civilized) discussions about our likes and dislikes, than feeling like this community is just dead.

Agree, but sometimes as a producer don't you put your feet down and try to make a point for the betterment of the project you're working on? I mean I very much imagine Lana being a bit stubborn in the studio and wanting things to work her way, and from what I head she had fights while working on Ultraviolence because I imagine Dan Auerbach being as equally stubborn... and look how it turned out to be? 
 
For NFR I feel like both of them were feeling going for this "quality", so I blame the both of them (but Jack I blame you the most).

If I go, might as well go in a blaze of glory!
