“Alma, a new song featuring longtime collaborator Lana Del Rey – they’ve made three albums together since 2019 – slips between free-associative pop culture references and a joyride around a dreamworld version of New Jersey.”

Really mixed. It depends on the venue, section and your perspective. 
 
I’ve been to three shows and had three different experiences. The two smaller venues generally had better crowds, but that’s just my opinion. 
 
Arkansas: The crowd was very tame and wasn’t overly loud. Of the three venues, it probably had the most polite crowd. It’s a small venue and I think the demographic (rural South) may have played a role.
 
Dallas: The crowd was out of control, at times. When the gates opened, people ran, screamed and pushed everyone out of the way. Security had zero control. Once in the seated sections, many (not all) were very rude, loud and disrespectful. Several of the songs felt like screaming kareoke. It was my least favorite of the three crowds. Keep in mind it was a larger venue, in a larger city, and stormy weather may have played a role in riling people up. 
 
Mississippi: The crowd was fairly well behaved, but the security was also very strict. A few people were sneaking into other sections, standing in aisles and vaping, but got kicked out really quick. I posted on Reddit that the crowd seemed polite and respectful, but someone in the pit said it was total chaos in there. I didn’t see that, but then again I’ve never been in the pit because I have low tolerance for pushing and shoving, and I like my personal space. 
 
Other things I noticed at all three shows:
1. Many attendees don’t seem to know a lot of her songs. I’m not sure if it’s age or what (large percentage of the crowds were teenagers) but it’s a little sad when people don’t know the songs. 
2. People show up late, but many people also leave early. I get it, traffic is bad, but last night even Lana made a comment about having to try extra hard because people were leaving early.
3. Going back to #1, a lot of people at these shows seem to be TikTok teens who may not have the incentive to be as attentive or respectful, simply because they may not have listened to her for long and/or they’re just there for a concert experience   As opposed to a Lana experience. 
 
In summary, it depends on venue size/location, personal preference and where you’re sitting. 

I love her visuals, but she's really sacrificing quality for quantity. Some of the last few could've been left on the chopping block, IMO.
 
For instance, I could've done without the videos for Death and Void, knowing what they ended up like, and a lot of K-12. On the other hand, I can't imagine not having MVs for Cry Baby, outside of maybe a few that could've used a bigger budget. Even the scrapped hotel bathtub video for Soap is better than what we've gotten from Portals so far.

i hate her obsession with music videos and movies. like girrrlll we get itttt just move onnn

pls the “i wish to not be perceived” shirt is sooo tacky  

I feel like LDR10 will be something special.. i mean it’s her 10th album and i feel like this is the start of a new era, the first era was AKA/BTD - LFL, the title “Lust For Life” is like the opposite of “Born To Die” and it ended with “out of the black, into the blue” 
the second era was NFR-Ocean Blvd,  ocean blvd ends with the sample of venice bitch, both LFL and Ocean Blvd feel like the “transitional” albums of her discography

She's cute, I mean people can do botox if they want to but imo she doesn't need that, she's cute with or without it 

We need to cut her off the filler

Earlier today, Lana Del Rey visited Dr. Chris Gojdz at Revive Clinic in Beverly Hills, California.

Came here to say that too That one is just so cringe
 

I am genuinely so disappointed in her and this era, I saw the bigger picture at first but now it's just boring, dragged out, confusing and messy and like others have said there isn't much of anything to talk about like it was DOA.

pls the “i wish to not be perceived” shirt is sooo tacky
