I'm team weird drum sound, but I can't help but feel like WFWF would slap so much harder if she belted the chorus Tired of Singing the Blues-style. Feels like she's holding back, idk

The drum distortions during the second half of WFWF quite literally saves it from being one of her most boring songs. Definitely a worthwhile production choice. 

the crunchy drums on wfwf are what make it great 

Lol tell that to Mike Dean 
A lot of people think that actually adds to the song and others think it ruined it and it sounds weird/bad. I guess to each their own.

so i just listened to this album for the first time for my one day one lana album until blue banisters week and this honestly is better than a lot of official LDR projects. i love the rock influenced upbeat and a lot of times experimental production. it creates such a cool universe for the album. i love her voice in this, it's much rawer and real than the sometimes weird vocal moments in born to die. i would rank it above BTD, LFL and mayybe ultraviolence. anyways here's my ranking:

1. For K, Pt. 2
2. Jump
3. Smarty
4. Raise Me Up (Mississippi South)
5. Pawn Shop Blues
6. Yayo
7. Gramma (Blue Ribbon Sparkler Trailer Heaven)
8. Brite Lites
9. Put Me In a Movie
10. Mermaid Motel
11. Queen of the Gas Station
12. Kill Kill
13. Oh Say Can You See

i did this as i was listening to it but honestly i don't think there are bad songs in this. i'm very pleasantly shook.

Remember when UV came out and people were mad because she reworked Black Beauty and they were saying things like it was better stripped down cause it had more soul etc... It's just so funny to me.

While Lana Del Ray (commonly known as AKA) wasn’t Lana’s first studio album -- that honor goes to Sirens -- it was her debut on a record label, and her first album to be sold commercially. AKA’s history was turbulent, which probably owes to much of the mystery and misinformation that surrounds the album today:
 
 
As noted above, the formation of AKA brought about many demos and outtakes that didn’t make the final cut, including Lizzy’s collaborations with producer Steven Mertens. Below is a helpful guide to the AKA demos, along with information on unused tracks recorded with both Mertens and David Kahne:
 
 
Lana’s promotion of her music during the AKA era included interviews, frequent live performances, and perhaps most distinctively, the creation of self-assembled music videos for most of the tracks on the album, much like the “Video Games” visuals that would propel her to stardom in 2011. Below are a selection of these videos, plus relevant fan creations: 
 
 
 
Lastly, here are some helpful links for further info and exploration of AKA:
