[sad ho 44]

Since we're listing songs we shuffle skip here's my list:

 

Lucky Ones

Lolita (The demo's are 10x better)

Yayo (AKA and the NKF are so much better than the PAR version)

Guns And Roses

Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood 

Summer Bummer

Change

13 Beaches

Coachella

When The World Was At War We Kept On Dancing

Fuck It I Love You

[softcore babyface 4,376]

On born to die I’ve been skipping off to the races lately and that’s it. On paradise sometimes I skip blue velvet. Ultraviolence I skip the title track, west coast, pretty when you cry, money power glory, fucked my way up to the top, and sometimes sad girl. I skip nothing on honeymoon. On lust for life I skip the title track, cherry, when the world was at war, tomorrow never came, and summer bummer. I don’t skip anything on Norman Fucking Rockwell (yet lol)

[WildMustang 14,759]

Fuck it I love you sweetie I'm so sorry

[PARADIXO 32,940]

Omg agree... don't get me wrong I love the sound, but that outro was anticlimatic af to me.

[Vanilla Icy 29,602]

When I listen to born to die I go straight into off to the races

no skips on nfr for me so far

[sad ho 44]

I love Fuck It I Love You but whenever it comes on shuffle I just skip it. It's probably because I overplayed it before NFR came out - I even preferred it to The Greatest until the whole album came out. 

Still holds a place in my heart but I just wanna listen to better Lana songs on shuffle play.

I just realized that I only skip High By The Beach on Honeymoon, so basically Honeymoon has only one flaw. Taste.

[13beachess 7,614]

the drum break and guitar solo and vocal octave layering in the pre-chorus "and I guess that I'm burned out after all" of the greatest are orgasmic experiences

How is it a flaw when it's one of the most brilliant songs of the trap era    The production and composition is insane, and it's a necessary piece in the WORK OF ART THAT IS HONEYMOON 

[poetic jess 2,340]

I can’t hate my least favorite tracks (there’s like two) on this album, in fact I’m starting to love them even more. Also, I’ve decided The Greatest is the best song on the album. It’s in the top 5 among her whole discography. It’s on Shades of Cool’s level. I can’t get over it.

Is she really going after Ann Powers?  That article is harmless. Someone needs to take twitter away from her!

sis is easily triggered 

[White Hot 527]

I think I mostly just skip LFL songs (the middle, long title ones) which is weird cause the highs on that album are really high.

High By The Beach is iconic, the only flaw in Honeymoon is Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood. Not a terrible cover but it's not great either.

[Joao 18]

which version of the next best american record u prefer

the leaked or nfr one?

I don't get it since she herself acknowledged in a 2017 interview that she used to rely on a persona. https://www.nme.com/news/music/lana-del-rey-says-less-persona-now-2069996

 

Seems like the "uncooked" Joni Mitchell comparison really got to her too. If you don't want to be compared to your muse don't refer to their work so much in your songs lmao.
