Pretty Dull

Beautiful is too corny I'm sorry 

Final pre-DYKTTATUOB ranking
 
NFR Ultraviolence Chemtrails AKA Honeymoon Born to Die Paradise Lust for Life Blue Banisters I feel weird ranking Chemtrails so high because I skip LMLYAW, Dance Till We Die, and For Free like 95% of the time and it’s only 11 tracks. I also recognize it’s not her strongest work overall, and I was actually disappointed in the album when it was released. However, I’ve been tracking my streams on last.fm for 5-6 years, and in only 2 years since COTCC’s release, it’s become my 3rd most listened to album, and it’s only like 20 streams behind NFR. And I’m still not really sick of it. It’s kinda of been my default go-to album for Lana over the past couple years. 
 
I also feel like Honeymoon should be higher because it’s such a strong, consistent, high quality body of work and the melodies are some of her strongest. But in reality, I just don’t listen to it that often, and usually when I do, it tends to slog for me a bit once we get to Salvatore/The Blackest Day/24/Swan Song/Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood, and I don’t usually end up finishing.
 
By the way, AKA is a total unique, innovative gem and it makes me sad how underappreciated it is. To this day, I still haven’t heard anything that sounds even remotely close to it. It’s crazy impressive that she was able to make something so great, creative, and unique for her first official body of work. But then again, it still blows my mind how she progressed from Sirens to AKA in 2-4 years, and then Born to Die another 1-2 years later. The sheer amount of music she made in this period is insane too.
 
I feel like I could have like 3 different rankings of her albums and they’d all feel right for their own reasons. I guess that just goes to show how strong her discography is.

😋🤤

it’s a troll / rage bait 

when there's a pop-up exclusive titty vinyl..

And we can all guess the exact five stans who will have their photo taken with her if she goes there

This is why I haven’t used songs as my alarms since I was like 10. Whenever I’m in public and someone’s phone rings and it’s one of my many morning alarms, I get triggered as well  

Late to this, but Lucy Harbron - you are a fucking icon. 

Honestly that is iconic behaviour and we stan 

"People go to the toilet missing entire tracks, twiddle thumbs, scribble notes. We listen once, and leave to give it a rating and comment on its merit."
 
and i wonder why they're not giving it 5/5s...

Gigwise calling out other critics for leaving the room and missing whole tracks during the listening and saying that Lana should hate critics more 

We need a few 90s to push up the meta score  I wish all reviewers used the same scale because 4/5 seems pretty good but then when you see it as 80/100 it makes it seem way worse lol

Margaret getting all the praise  

What did they expect

send me
 
a classic! gorgeous! amazing! never the same! a hit! chart topper! a songstress!

about white dress 
 

Honestly surprised how much I like this album given how much I disliked the past two albums… 
 
turns out I wasn’t outgrowing her music
she was just making bad music

So i see some of you girlies are rly that depressed that y’all can’t enjoy a fun simple masterpiece like Peppers… that’s sad
