Honestly so bitter and jealous that I can't meet her! I'm happy for the ones that can, but that doesn't mean it's not gonna be really hard to witness on Friday. My day will come 

Lana keeps honeymoon locked in her basement with Dan Heath inside.

People trying to get a copy from target be like:

why do Ppl get so self-righteous about not downloading leaks? Ur not any better bcause you don't download. nobody Cares

the medium quality files give a much better idea of the production on the album, did the person who got them stand next to the speaker? lol yesssss...
 
freak is good, but i wish it would build a little bigger, maybe in hq it will grab me more.
 
art deco is incredible, that chorus is so sexy, its a hotter song than freak imo, that slow pulsing beat is everything. its really making me consider becoming a hooker.
 
god knows i tried kinda reminds me a sultrier terrence loves you. her vocals are great.
 
salvatore is definitely the most interesting produced track on there, cant wait to really hear those instruments in hq to really get the full italian influence. for me the slow beat really gives it some life, and that bridge, and the soft ice cream lol......so random but it really suits the lyrics of the song. definitely reminds me of seeing my whole family get shot to death on my wedding day because of revenge in slow motion. x
 
religion is cute, nice drum beat, its a bit ultraviolence-ish to me. its filler, but good filler.
 
the blackest day is such a gorgeous song, her vocals in that chorus omg, first high and angelic and then shes goes into that "deep deeper" part and its like my penis inverts into a clitoris and then inverts a second time into a giant beautiful rare flower that releases music.
 
24 is sooooooooooooo her bond theme that didnt get picked, it sounds very bondesque and the rumor that its called 24 bcz of the 24th bond theme could very much be true. its filler, but good filler.
 
swan songs production is so angelic and atmospheric i love it, those opening synthy notes omg yesssss. this wouldnt sound too out of place after american on paradise imo. i really love it, cant wait for it in hq. i think it compliments the title track as the closer nicely, honeymoon and swan song feel like opposite sides of each other in a way. honey moon is brooding and sinister and slowly opens the album, swan song is a lighter and more pure and beautiful slow song to say goodbye. and yes this song is the true finish to the album not the nina cover.
 
dont let me be misunderstood is ok, but nothing special. whats that instrument during the chorus, the electric piano is it??? very 70's, reminds me of the doors, i like that touch. otherwise this is on par with the other woman, cute, but nothing special and probably skippable if im not in the mood. i would probably rather have life is beautiful in its place, but oh well.
 
 
 
 
too early to say, but it could end up being her best album, i'll need to hear it in hq and obvs sit with it for a few months and let it get old before i say its her best, but i wont be surprised if i end loving it the most. and even though i can understand why some people may have mixed emotions on her music, im going to struggle hearing very negative reviews about this record because i really do think its beautifully produced and much more accessible than ultraviolence [which i love btw], i hope it gets a decent critical reception, it really does deserve it, no one else is doing the stuff she does, she always feels like a real artist to me and she deserves a little more appreciation. the critics were kinder to ultra than btd, i hope honeymoon sees that same reception, its so good.

I feel like TBD is Cruel World's harder, better, stronger sister this song changes the game on a deep level

The Blackest Day is just amazing. I really hope it gets a video.
 
It's so amazing to me. The verse, the chorus, the bridge, her voice, the production arrrrrrrrrrrrr
 
Truly amazing like

This album is better than both UV and BTD and honestly anything she has released. It's a lot more varied than her previous efforts. It borrowed different influences of sound from all over the world like you're on a honeymoon all around the world lmao.
 
She sounds INCREDIBLE. Her voice has never been better. I'm saying all of this from a low shitty quality I heard ONCE (well, I did play Art Deco a million times but that's the only one). I'm desperately controlling myself not to listen to anything else until we got HQ. And honestly, I need only need one listening to decide that this is fucking good.
 
If she doesn't properly promote this, I will be very disappointed. Everyone needs to hear this fucking album. It's also bizzare to me how the weakest tracks (they are still cute just weak compared to the rest) are released. Who is the picking the singles?? Lord. We got the best songs from UV and BTD as singles first. This is truly a reverse Lana experience.

My thoughts on the album. I'm extremely tired, so this is far from being well-written.
 
Honeymoon (2015) - Lana Del Rey
 
1. Honeymoon
 
Nothing new to us, but it remains a gorgeous, Lynchian ( ), swirling, string-laden journey. The climax in the final minute remains one of Lana's best musical moments, particularly because of the incredible vocals she exhibits.
 
2. Music to Watch Boys To
 
What stands out immediately about this song is the incredible atmosphere and tropical soundscape. It's one of the best mood-oriented tracks from the album and Lana paints pictures beautifully with her lyrics. The bridge from "nothing gold can stay..." is a highlight.
 
3. Terrence Loves You
 
Perhaps the most jazz-influenced track from the album, this one features yet another gorgeous bridge. It's probably one of the most emotional tracks on the record and features some of Lana's best vocals. It may not have the greatest replay value, but it's an undeniably beautiful journey.
 
4. God Knows I Tried
 
This track immediately stood out to me due to its Bob Dylan or Joan Baez-esque feel and also because of its captivating lyrics. The self-reflection rather than rumination on a man is refreshing, and the high notes in the choruses and bridge are quite breathtaking. I think this section might be one of her best verses ever:
 
"Sometimes I wake up in the morning to red, blue and yellow lights
On Monday they destroyed me but by Friday I'm revived
Put on that Hotel California, wear my blinders in the rain
I've got nothing much to live for ever since I found my fame"

5. High by the Beach

The first song in a series of chillwave tracks, this one is weaker than the rest, but still contains a wonderful beach soundscape and refreshingly independent lyrics. I love the bridge - she's slaying the bridges this era - and the reference to Put Me in a Movie.

6. Freak

This instantly became one of my favorites from the album. It's incredibly sexy, hypnotic, and eerie all at once. The only thing that keeps this song from being perfect is the "stranger than a stranger" line, which feels incredibly juvenile and momentarily takes me out of the song. The bridge might be Lana's most stunning moment.

7. Art Deco

This song features a SZA-esque beat, a spell-binding atmosphere, and self-reflective lyrics about a woman who is seemingly beautiful, but shallow under the surface; much like Art Deco as an art. This is how the production of some of the weaker Born to Die songs should have sounded. The visuals for this track have a lot of potential if she chooses to create a video for it.

8. Burnt Norton (Interlude)

Not too much to say about this one apart from noting its wonderful production. Lana recites the poem beautifully, and it's a nice transition to the second half of the album. At this point, the album begins to slow down again.

9. Religion

This track features some of my favorite lyrics and Lana's best vocals. The soaring high notes in the chorus have the ability to make the listener feel as if they are flying into a new realm, perhaps dreaming of their own unrequited or fleeting love. I love the guitar and minimalistic trip hop beat.

10. Salvatore

Transporting the listener to an Italy-set crime drama from the 40s with its sound, this track is one of the very best at painting a portrait with its story-telling. "All of the lights in Miami begin to gleam." I love the reiteration of the soft ice cream imagery in the bridge where Lana fills in the blanks of the story.

11. The Blackest Day

Good Lord, what a journey this song is. I was immediately blown away by how powerful the culmination of its production, Lana's voice, and the lyrics are. It's the longest track on the album, but somehow feels like the shortest.

12. 24

24 is one of the most lyrically-aggressive tracks on the album and features production that grows with intensity as it progresses. It has a nostalgic atmosphere and concludes in a majestic fashion.

13. Swan Song

Featuring affecting, transfixing lyrics, Swan Song is a haunting portrayal of a fleeting relationship. It feels redundant saying the production is gorgeous since it has been so consistent throughout the album, but they really achieved something noteworthy with this track as well.

14. Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

As a huge Nina Simone, this was one of my most anticipated tracks. It's a good conclusion to the album, but I can't help feeling a bit disappointed after how incredible the rest of the album was. The production could have been much more dynamic and I expected Lana to do a lot more with her vocals, which had shone throughout the rest of the album.

---

Prior to this listen, I heavily doubted Lana's ability to top the hypnotic, swaying desert rock of Ultraviolence, but she may have accomplished that with Honeymoon. The production is consistently perfect and Lana's vocals sound better than ever. I have read a few complaints about the lyrics, but the album is actually very strong in this department. There are a couple of odd lines, but I feel that the album succeeds immensely in its attempt at surreal, colorful imagery while simultaneously feeling introspective and contemplative. The album may not be a commercial success since it strays even further from commercial expectations, but Lana has somehow outdone herself yet again with this beautiful journey that is her Honeymoon.

Copy & Paste obviously.

Italian is the best word to describe it

I think the other woman is better compared to DLMBM

Art Deco is like a hidden gem that only LDR fans will hear or care about <3 

I think Lana definitely butchered DLMBM

Deeper and Deeper Harder and Harder (aka Francesco's italian sausage)
