Born to Die - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

[the ocean 67,621]

i’m happy we got born to die because lana wouldn’t have had the success she’s had otherwise… but i don’t exactly hear the masterpiece y’all are hearing except on the title tracks and video games

i actually think it’s aged a bit poorly

especially blue jeans, radio and carmen

The bridge of Blue Jeans alone is one of the best moments in pop music 

[Bird World 1,796]

Can you listen to the album on Spotify? Because I can't and don't know why

Nevermind, it works now lol

Off to the Races has to be one of the most unique, innovate, creative songs I’ve ever heard.

 

Anyways, this album and Lana herself completely changed the music game for me, and I think she’s the most influential artist of the past decade. I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since I first discovered her. In those 10 years, I still have yet to find another artist that has interested me and drawn me in as much as she has.

I didn't start my Lana standom with BTD, but if I had....my life would have changed with OTTR and became a bad bitch hoe much earlier.

born to die was and still is one of the best records of recent times… it paved the way

 

celebrating 10 years by streaming off to the races

This iconic album is aging beautifully, it's everything it's supposed to be and will always be remembered as a game-changer  It's sound is also very important to the journey Lana has since taken, as so much of her narrative is about personal growth and moving away from the mindset that is explored on this album. Brilliance all around 

[palemoonbaby 13,455]

This album still sounds really fresh comparing to other pop albums released in 2011/12. She totally changed the game

[13beachess 7,509]

Can't believe it's really been a whole decade of this album. I wasn't a fan at all in 2012. I "hated Lana". (Little did I know she would become my favourite artist of all time.) I loved sad and "depressing" music but Lana was too funeral-ish and tOo MaInStrEaM () for little 15 year old me lol. I never gave her an honest chance, until some time early 2013 when I watched the National Anthem video and was bloooown away, then tried the BTD title track and I became obsessed. And so on.... I discovered that Lana was (not only SO FUCKING GOOD but also) like nothing I had ever heard before. And it's still true. There is no other album like Born To Die (and her later albums). I may not be listening to BTD as much and often as I did before, but it is timeless. Totally unique. Fun. Full of bops. I love every single track on this record. With every beat of my cocaine heart 
I'm just soo devastated and sad (like many of you I assume) that we really got ROBBED of 10nth anniversary album/edition 

 

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BTD.❤️

 

Celebrating by playing it on repeat today.
