A start is a start and I for one would love to see it finished

Jack Antonoff enablers saying it is all Lana's choice, pls explain why if u listen to instrumentals by LDR Taylor Swift or Lorde you probably wouldnt be able to tell which one is which? GTFO! 

That being said I unexpectedly loved Ocean Blvd A LOT. Might be my fav album, though I am for sure biased when it comes to UV because of the sentimental value it has for me.

So you were in the studio and witnessed Jack making Lana do whatever he wants for her album?

Please listen to her whole discography every single unreleased song available to us , and then come back and tell me that her sound is not connected with the people she works with . Of course she has a signature sound she is miss F Lana Del Rey  BUT, denying the input of the people behind her albums is just like hiding an elephant inside a room . Lana is a singer songwriter. Not a *producer*. It is the producers job to challenge the artists , to make sure that the ideas come into fruition , that the sound is crystal clear and the production shines and compliments the soundscapes the artist has dreamed of . Ultraviolence ended up being her masterpiece  because she was pushed to her limits . 

Firstly, Lana does have experience producing and has those credits on multiple songs. She's been doing it since the Lizzy Grant days. Ultraviolence (which half of this site acts like is the only album Lana's ever made that's worth listening to) even has songs where Lana has producer credits (PWYC and Guns and Roses). I simply don't think it's accurate to say that Lana's not a producer because she's done it before and I'm sure she'll do it again. 

Secondly, the producer is not the artist! It's really that simple. At the end of the day, it's not about what the producer wants because it's not their album. I think people hold way too much stock in the man behind the scene rather than the person who's actually putting the album out, writing the music, and hiring these producers to help her to best display her vision. It's not about the producers: it's about Lana. 

This is a very stupid argument that should not be had in this thread so moving on. I'm really loving Let The Light In lately. It's currently my most streamed song from the album. 

I finally got my vinyl copy of the album today and I'm so excited to listen to it. I feel like it was made to be listened to in that format

I have an unreleased album that goes in order by year and then a demos album that goes in order by era/album. I do have a bunch of playlists though that function as albums for certain eras of unreleased and demo tracks

Personally I just don't think you should review an album if you can't put aside the fact that you don't like the artist and objectively listen to it 

Lana has me yelling Lake Placid like I'm from there too 

Something about this album just feels so grand. It is, in every sense, Lana Del Rey. I don't really know how else to explain it. I love this album so much

NFR did 15 million when she has just 19 million monthly listeners. Now she has over 41 million and doing the same numbers? A mess 💀. Where are those people? That ratio is TERRIBLE.
 

This is a Miley Cyrus/Sam Smith disaster .

Whenever you make these posts I imagine you foaming at the mouth while you're typing

I love Paris, Texas, but I'm honestly surprised that it's become one of the most popular album tracks. I really wasn't expecting that 

Love it <3 Pretty accurate if I do say so myself

The visualizer is so simple and yet so beautiful. It has such a clear aesthetic direction. I genuinely cannot wait to see this video, especially knowing that Rich Lee directed it 

I'm somehow even more excited for the Candy Necklace video than I already was. Using the screen test as a visualizer is such a cool idea. It really reminds me of Marilyn Monroe's screentest for Something's Got To Give mixed with something straight out of a 1930s-40s noir film

These are stunning  Using the pink one 

I remember thinking that having Candy Necklace right in between two interludes was an odd choice when the tracklist first got announced, but it works so well. The Judah Smith interlude following A&W is such a powerful and poignant choice, and then it falls right into Candy Necklace. The Jon Batiste interlude follows Candy Necklace perfectly as well. I'm not usually one to go back and listen to the interludes just whenever, but I really think I'm going to do with the Jon interlude

This was my prediction ranking omg: 

1. Paris, Texas

2. Kintsugi

3. Let The Light In

4. A&W

5. The Grants

6. Taco Truck 

7. Grandfather

8. Ocean Boulevard

9. Peppers

10. Fingertips

11. Candy Necklace

12. Sweet

13. Fishtail

14. Margaret

15. Jon Batiste Interlude

16. Judah Smith Interlude

I was somehow so right and yet so wrong at the same time 

This is where I'm at post release: 

1. Ocean Blvd

2. Honeymoon

3. NFR

4. Chemtrails

5. Lust for Life

6. AKA

7. Ultraviolence

8. Born To Die 

9. Blue Banisters

10. Paradise

The fact that even my least favorite songs on the album are still on repeat. There is genuinely not a single song on this album I don't like. I feel like it was made for me

Listening to the album on shuffle and Peppers came on after Fingertips 

Angelina Jolie when she hears Peppers

Let The Light In literally sounds like the sections of the Freak music video where Lana and FJM are in the hills and playing music 

Get high...drop acid...never die...not tonight....LAKE PLACID

I love how surfy Peppers and Taco Truck are

The album progresses so well. Grandfather is this massive, triumphant moment in the album and then the final five tracks that follow are such fun songs
