 It’s like quintessential Lana, its like hit after hit in terms of Lana bops, a lot of stand out tracks, and really lush, great production. 

On what planet does nfr have lush production ? empty, boringly simple and uninspired fit better

So don't write me a letter
I'll always be right here
Closer to you than your next breath, my dear

 

What an absolutely gorgeous line to end the album on. This is not just for Chuck, it is spoken directly to us.

Okay wow this is a beautiful, deep, personal and perfectly dense and detailed album. I love how she really told her story, her way, like she said she would. And life is messy, beautiful, complex, just like this perfect album. So much to digest and definitely want to do a handful of listens to unpack this story of hers before I make final statements. 
 

First listen favs:

BBS (wild!), if you lie down, beautiful, dealer, living legend was an unexpected fav, Sweet Carolina. And I think WW Is one of the best most poetic songs of her career, Arcadia as well. Wow can’t wait to keep listening. Also after seeing BB video I have a new appreciation for the song. 
 

also,

loved her use of if you lie down with me, I feel it was not only a collab with Barrie , but to use it now was a interesting little message to him I’d say…

I just want to say I love Lana Del Rey, and I hope she has a fantastic release day and lots of sales this week. She really deserves it

Am I losing my mind now?? Wasn't there a track on BB where she's talking about bleaching her hair to make a guy interested in her again? I can't find that lyric.

[AsDangerousAsHope 968]

This album is amazing, I didn’t think I would get so emotional listening to it since we already knew most songs, but by the time I was listening to beautiful I was sobbing. She’s amazing, Everything is very her, nothing sounds off. Truly a zero skips album. I hope someday I can become half the artist she is. 

[Gothicula 1,160]

this album made me notice something, lana piano songs stopped making me feel sexy in the antonoffian era.. but now they do again

[West Coast 45,936]

It's not to say that I think a certain someone is the worst producer out there, but I find that on his work with Lana he used piano in such a basic, tinny and understated kinda way that I was just turned off by those piano driven songs. Whereas on 'Blue Banisters' the piano songs they just sound so different, they're rich, lush and intricate. I am really enjoying those piano driven songs in a way I had not on the past two albums.
