8.1 maximum, 7.6 minimum. It's too dark and slow for them to endorse it more than that, I believe. But let's see...

No way! Where do you live? You'll post your review here, right?

Metacritic updated - OB is at 80%. It's her third-best critically received album after Norman and Chemtrails (for now), proving Jack's supremacy. https://www.metacritic.com/person/lana-del-rey?filter-options=music&sort_options=metascore&num_items=30

MOJO review out, 4/5 stars. https://www.mojo4music.com/articles/new-music/lana-del-rey-reviewed/

A massive improvement over BB. But he's still her weakest producer.

What's goin' on, Lana Boards? It's the topic's last day! What are we doin' to celebrate?

THANK YOU! I missed the fun lana singing shit to beats.

So, the Rolling Stone just published an article listing out 50 Best Lana Del Rey songs: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-lana-del-rey-songs-1234696106/ Here's what songs from OB made it: Did you know that there's a tunnel #41 A&W #32 But honestly, it's a pretty rando list so I wouldn't think much about it. For example, they have Freak at 23.

Honestly, I doubt it. Maybe a home made video for The Grants. Otherwise, she would have teased it. I think they wait to see how the sales are doing and what song is the most popular one and then interscope will cash out. Kinda like Doin' Time. i can't believe we might have a solid album without videos, wheras we got three different videos for her worst album (Blue Banisters) that no one even saw.

Can we stop dissing that faux tracklist? I think the poster got the message.

You mean in HQ?

I agree. It's super intriguing with titles like Paris, Texas, Fishtail and Taco Truck x VB. But nothing tops Born do Die's and Norman's titles imo. Norman Fucking Rockwell, Venice Bitch, Born to Die, National Anthem, Summertime Sadness, Blue Jeans, The greatest, California - those were the best imo.

Ugh, why do all reviewers need to start their review with lines like this one: "Ever since she emerged as America’s dark sweetheart over a decade ago, Lana Del Rey has been dogged by accusations that she’s a phoney." I mean, a decade and nearly 10 albums after Video Games and those "phoney" accusations, you'd think they'd put it behind already. Also, the review is sooo porely written, it's embarrassing. "Peppers with its electronic hip hop beat and a strange chorus" He's paid to write reviews but that that's the best he can say? How is that a "strange" chorus? Compared to "Fuck me to death?" which isn't? Ugh. Whoever said we shouldn't give a damn about reviews is right. I'll hold off on Pitchfork and Fantano, the rest are all shit.

1. NFR! 2. Born to Die (the highs are just too great even though the album isn't all that good) 3. Ultraviolence 4. Lust for Life 5. Did You Know that there's... 6. Chemtrails Over the Country Club 7. Paradise 8. Honeymoon 9. VIolet Bent Backwards Over the Grass 10. Blue Banisters Never listen to AKA so I'll place that in 11. Kill Kill is solid though.

Nah, soz. Her titles are better. And not pretentious, just more poetic / cinematic, e.g. Paris, Texas

Happier than Ever got a 5/5? Lol. I like B. E. a lot, but I only played that record about 3 times. A few great songs aside, she has a long way to go to earn her 5/5s.

THANK YOU! Truth be told, the album IS very long, and at least three songs should have been cut for a bigger impact. The review praises all the right songs though. Thank you!

Can someone please paste that god-damn review? New review from Riff Magazine, whoever they are. Seems very positive: https://riffmagazine.com/album-reviews/lana-del-rey-did-you-know-that-theres-a-tunnel-under-ocean-blvd/

VENICE BITCH

Hi, guys, Since Lana is coming to her 10th album, I reckon it's about time that she released her "Greatest hits" collection aka "Best Of." Something along the lines of Madonna's "Immaculate Collection.," where only the absolute best songs are allowed. Would love to see what y'all include! The only rule? The compilation is capped at 20 songs only. Other than that, you can do whatever you want and add whatever tracks you love the most. I'll start: 1. Video Games 2. Ride 3. Doin' Time 4. Young & Beautiful 5. Love 6. West Coast 7. Norman Fucking Rockwell! 8. White Dress 9. Blue Jeans 10. Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Boulevard 11. Born to Die 12. High by the Beach 13. Mariner's Apartment Complex 14. Summertime Sadness 15. Chemtrails Over the Country Club 16. A&W 17. Lust for Life 18. The greatest 19. Ultraviolence 20. Venice Bitch Songs I'd love to include but no space: Cola, Shades of Cool, Wild at Heart, Music to Watch Boys to, Taco Truck x VB, American, Summer Bummer, Don't Call me Angel, Off to the Races, Fuck it, I love you, Hope... Sorry, Blue Banisters fans, no space for any of those mediocre tracks on my list.

Can you please copy paste it here? It's behind a paywall. And I'll happily suck your d myself

I agree with that. Lana and Lynch's collab would be fire. I'm surprised no one has put her in a movie yet. Her singing a song similar to that Rebeca Del Rio song in Mulholland Drive would be everything. She deserves a small role in a movie. But only with a big director like Lunch. I also think she should have been a siren in the new Little Mermaid movie, like one of the sisters or something, with a small song. Maybe she should have reworked that song that all of Ariel's sisters sing in the original.

My updated song ranking (that might change with HQ)
