IYLDWM is what you all wanted my LMLYLAW girl too be. And she can’t, IYLDWM is THAT bitch. 

is there some kind of formal ceremony when they upgrade you from icon to LEGEND? 

TEXT BOOK GREAT OPENER

TITLE TRACK IS SOUNDING SO GOOD OMG I ALREADY LOVE ALBUM. THIS MADE ME WANT TO SWIM WITH NIKKI LANE

This review from https://exclaim.ca/music/article/lana_del_rey_blue_banisters_album_review is the ONLY review I respect

ARCADIIAAAAA ARCADIIAAAAA THIS SONG IS SO BEAUTIFUL
LOVE LOVE U LANA

The “lie, LIEEE” in IYLDWM is so fucking good it does something fucking terrific to the song. She is FEELING it

Lana is trending on twitter.
Blasphemy!
 

BLACK BATHING SUIT WHAT 

Wow wow wow… this album did not disappoint whatsoever, from front to back this album is absolutely stunning  She has done it yet again!!! (She also really knows how to make me cry like a baby) I just know this album is going to sound so beautiful on vinyl, can’t wait for mine to arrive in the mail! So happy to be experiencing this with all of you 

The way I voted for every song as my favorite.

IYLDWM sounding so Ultraviolence, that end and so good
 
Beautiful is really beautiful

Such a great album. ❤️

My little thoughts on Blue Banisters - track by track:
 
1. Text Book:
Not Lana's best opening but obviously did a great job in setting up a whole atmospheric aura for the album. The song literally makesme feel like i'm sitting close to her at a bonfire and listening to her stories. 7.5/10
 
2. Blue Banisters:
i have to confess that this one was my least favourite out of the triple release. But not because it was a lack of effort, it was because of her attempt of trying to fit to many words in one line, sonically, it sounds force and lack of smooth cohesion in melody-wise. But that was months ago, now thanks for the m/v, i'm slowy growing fond of this track. Also, i love the spacey atmospheric tone towards the end of the song. 7/10
 
3. Arcadia:
The same issue with Blue Banisters - Lana at some point gets too wordy in her lyrics, too many syllables in just one line sometimes make the song goes forced. Nevertheless, the melody of this song is so well-composed, solid & kind of soul-wrenching (yes, i tear up everytime i hear "they built me up 300 feet tall, just to tear me down" & really just want to give her a hug 🥺). In the other hand, as wordy as the lyrics, this song feels like a poem consists her thoughts about fame struggles, gives me Violet vibes. 8/10
 
4. Interlude - The Trio:
This is like a celebration of whoregasm in a very historical / middle-wild-west/ communist way with a dope ass trap beat style. I wouldnt complain if this album had trap, polished pop sounds driven, but since it didnt, i don't see the point of including this here. The lack of "Lana's sauce" in production-wise as we usually found in trap influenced projects like Honeymoon / L4L sort of broke the album cohesion slightly. But well, I understand why some people might like it.
As stand-alone track: 8.5/10
As an album interlude: 4/10
 
5. Black Bathing Suit:
It's simple - and i said it before imma say it AGAIN: This artpiece is literally A.K.A+ BTD/PE + UV + HM + L4L + NFR! + COCC all in ONE. I still dont know how tf she do this BUT SHE DID IT. And it works so perfectly that i am actually terrified of her craziness (yes, she gets mad towards the end, living for it bitches) 
To those who constantly complain Lana "losing her authenticity" / "i want old Lana back" /"born to die 2.0" and all that type of stuff, shame on you if you decide to shit on Black Bathing Suit. She literally gave you what you asked for! Be grateful for Gods sake. 9.5/10
 
6. If You Lie Down With Me
An adorable sequel to Lizzy's "On Our Way" ♡♡♡ 10/10
 
7. Beautiful
The "raindrop" piano intro is what JACK antonOFF wishes to do. Melody-wise, this song reminds me of Folklore era of Taylor. The lyric really lives up to its own title. 8.5/10
 
8. Violet for Roses
This gave me strange, bittersweet feeling of nostalgia. Reminds me of the first time i heard "Video Games" and discovered Lana on 2011 MTV PUSH (my fifth grade) 😭🙏 . Once again, the piano of this song is a living proof that shows how badly Jack's Piano lacked soul in the last project. 8/10
 
9. Dealer
"I DONT WANNA LIVEEEEEEEEE, I DONT WANNA GIVE YOU GIVE YOU NOTHING"
This song screams camp (literally a SCREAMER,  can't wait to torture my neighbour on drunken depressed karaoke nights in my "party for one" meltdown). 10+++/10 (I've actually grown fond of Miles Kane lately).
 
10. Thunder ⚡
Another bonfire cold night on the beach anthem that i always NEEDED. People been bashing the remake but i LOVEEE the violins (yes, the violins in this song really said "WE ARE GIVING YOU VIOLENCE") - chills & thrills at best. 9.5/10
 
11. Wildflower Wildfire
It's album release date to day. Can we stop the WW unecessary hate for good already? God these people. 9.5/10
 
12. Nectar of the Gods
I don't care what y'all saying about this track. It's my baby child forever and i will protect it at all cost from ur ruthless slanderings (even i wasnt its biological mother but who tf cares) 😡😡😡. Hold you close to my soul since the "leak", keep you in my heart to infinity & beyond. 10/10
 
13. Living Legend
Sweet baby Jane really has her moment to shine. Still a beautiful song tho. Glad that she decided to keep the electronic-distroted "woaow woaow waow grawogggg" towards the end. 8.5/10
 
14. Cherry Blossom
Not her best lullaby & some say it sounds boring because there's just once again, piano for this track. But regardless of the simple production, this song never fails to make me feel like i'm in a ghibli movie scene, taking a nap under a cherty blossom, feeling nutured by mother of nature. 7.5/10
 
15. Sweet Carolina
This song literally shows that Lana herself is full of love running in her veins. 9.5/10
 
Overall — its a 8.4/10 for me. A one heaven of experience, but not just a "Lana experience" - it's the one aspect of Lana that we've never seen before. It was a privilege for me to get to discover & witness her growth as an artist. And I agree with Pitchfork, quoted: "LDR's 2nd album of the year is a sweeping survey of her talent as a songwriter, stripped of the aesthetic borders she often places around her work". 
 
As a die-hard stan since Born to Die. I am so proud of her, like really. 

Good morning, I stayed up til 2:30 last night to listen through the album after working on a school project, I have no complaints, it’s a 10/10 album to me and the new Thunder is stunning and fits in so well with the rest of the songs. Sweet Carolina made me weep.

I actually hear a bit of ALL her albums in this one. Even her unreleased. 

DEALER OMG WHAT A BOP SO SMOOTH SO SULTRY AND LANA SCREAMING VOICE 
I DON'T WANNA LIVEEEE

This album makes me want to fly to the moon again, get high by the beach, and snort like a champ 

CAN WE TALK ABOUT BBS AND IYLDWM 
 
 

THUNDER IS BEAUTIFUL EARGASM

Where is the new album announcement? 

LANA DEL REY AUTOMATIC SONG RANKER
Hi everyone! Awhile ago, there was an automatic song sorter on the infamous Moy's tumblr, but since his tumblr was removed, there hasn't been another that was frequently updated. So, I made my own.
I made three editions: one with just her released content, one with her unreleased content, and a complete version that includes both released & unreleased as well as special live performances, collaborations, covers, etc.
In case you don't know how it works, there will be "battles" where you are shown two songs and select which one you like the best.
After all of the battles are completed, the ranker will show you a list of the songs in order from what appears to be your favourites to your least favourites. It's pretty accurate!
Pro tip - although there are "no opinion" and "I like both" options, I recommend to not use these at all to have the most accurate results.
 
Released Version: trashsugarmagic.tumblr.com/lanadelrey (updated April 2023)
Unreleased Version: trashsugarmagic.tumblr.com/unreleased (updated March 2020)
Complete Version: trashsugarmagic.tumblr.com/ldr (under construction, incomplete)
 
If you all have any suggestions or spot any errors, please do not hesitate to let me know!
Have fun and feel free to share your results below!

Is she always talking about her real daddy?
 

The Spotify version was not as good as the leaked one at first, but I found out you can adjust it up to 320kbit/s in Premium:
