is there a reason blue jeans and video games have remastered versions because they sound the same

yeahh it's strange

I can tell the remastered versions are better quality, but the difference isn’t that noticeable. It’s more polished.

I love how Cola starts pretty calm. Suddenly, the bridge kicks in and everything gets so energetic. She did that. Ariola Not-so-Grande can’t relate

[WildMustang 14,761]

Still so many fresh tracks

[ArtDecoDelRey 15,284]

can we finally acknowledge the autobiographical and lyrical masterpiece that is This Is What Makes Us Girls

[godsmonster 14,234]

it's really interesting listen to the demos of this album, you can clearly hear Lana experimented with different sounds for these songs. A lot of them have the same vocals as the final versions

[Venice 6,933]

I’ve been dying to somewhat put in order my fave Lana songs :’)))  It’s tough because I’ve loved each song here very much, just at different points in time. The first half I numbered though, I’ll never get tired of. This album was pure narcotic to me.

Funny how "bloated" and "overproduced" Born To Die manages to sound timeless yet still fresh at the same time, whereas other albums have aged like milk and it's only been 2 years

Off to the Races is her best song. period!!

Yes omg, this was the song that I'd show all my friends cause it was so pretty and tragic and I'd share it on Tumblr all the time, awww

It's especially interesting with Lolita, as that is the one that goes the furthest back (as far as I know?) It changed like 4 times. 2 demos were super fun and playful and girly, then another demo sounded more serious and exotic, then the BTD version was just like, EPIC

BTD re-entered the Billboard 200, it just needs to chart for 2 more weeks to become the 2nd longest charting female album of all time.

edit: she needs 1 more week to be tied as 2nd

How many weeks does the 1st album have? Just curious how far behind Lana is with BTD.

Adele's 21 got 421 weeks, BTD got 317 weeks.
