Rolling Stone: The 250 Greatest Albums of the 21st Century So Far

15. Lana Del Rey, ‘Norman Fucking Rockwell!’

Norman Fucking Rockwell! introduced the world to a new Lana Del Rey. With her sixth album, Del Rey departed from the orchestral, dark-pop sounds and toxic love-idealizing lyrics of the records that made her a cult favorite. Instead, the star opted for introspective storytelling (“And if this is it/I had a ball”) and a nuanced look at the American dream, spinning Rockwell’s art perspective on its head. The album’s flowy, experimental sounds also introduced her synergistic partnership with Jack Antonoff, which continues to thrive today. Among its many stunning qualities, the album has Seventies tinges, a Sublime cover, and the iconic line “Goddamn, man-child/You fucked me so good that I almost said ’I love you.’” —T.M.

Born To Die is also at #62! (but should've been higher)

The downgrade from A&W...

I don't see comparisons to her old sound, but more to how “cool” the old Gaga was, and Abracadabra definitely has that vibe. There's no way you'll hear anything like Abracadara's verses and bridge in her old material, it's fresh and new for Gaga.

This is hands down the best Grammys in the last like 5-10 years

Lana on the red carpet when asked if she voted red or blue

The reason she announced the album was actually to get tickets to sell faster, even though it wasn't needed. Now we're stuck with this Info for months.
