This is my official ranking of her albums. For some reason I wasn't able to do one, but now that Chem and Blue are out and she has a large discography, it feels right.

 

1. Norman Fucking Rockwell!

2. Blue Banisters

3. Honeymoon

4. Born to Die

5. Chemtrails Over the Country Club

6. Ultraviolence

7. Lust for Life

8. Paradise

Miley's Fly On The Wall could have easily be written by 2010 Lana. This has been on my mind for a few days now

 

now I need Lana to do a cover :oprah2:


If I get a little prettier can I be your baby?

lana’s last 3 albums just clicked with me……

 

like something shifted. i get it now. i love love love her earlier works but it definitely felt like more of a character. her newer music is much openly more honest, relatable and casual in terms of the approach to writing.

 

i think the writing is just as good as an album like honeymoon, but it’s a lot less dramatic.

 

like it’s less about playing up the emotions and turning it into a movie (which i love) but it’s more everyday and approachable.

 

idk i’ve felt quite disconnected from her work since 2018, listening to it occasionally. but i recently put on blue bannisters and walked around the grocery store and like….omfg i GET IT!

I was so fuckn hyped with the COTCC teaser, but the song didn't fullfill my expectations..

I Love the song, but it took me a whole 24 hours for it to click. And still to this day, I don’t fully understand why they hired that director, which gave us her best MV, for that quiet song… I was expecting something so much more psychedelic / trippy in sound.

I guess mine would be as followed, although the middle tier changes all the time, depending how I click with the songs. 

1. Norman Fucking Rockwell! 


2. Honeymoon - Ultraviolence 

3. Blue Banisters 

4. Born to Die - Paradise 

 

5. Lust for Life - Chemtrails Over the Country Club: i have the same issues with both: some songs on them are among her best but both have songs I don’t connect much with (although I find the LFL songs easier to listen to in background). LFL is too eclectic in a way, but Chemtrails is a bit one-note.

I asked Asmodeus (the demon of lust) to make Miley Cyrus suffer. I am not happy with these new developments. After Miley rips off Lana's aesthetic, she bullies Lana into changing her release date. It is infuriating.

My ranking as of right now...

4. AKA 

5. Born to Die

6. Norman Fucking Rockwell 

7. Ultraviolence

Not really a ranking, since Norman and Ultraviolence are top 3 along with Honeymoon, but that's how I've been feeling lately... I don't know :um3:

Lust for Life

Paradise

Born to Die

 

I find myself gravitating more towards her recent work. As others have stated it just feels more real, honest, and relatable. Being closer to her age and kind of growing/maturing with her as her albums have been released has allowed each album to have it’s own time for/with me. That said we all grow, change, and move forward. 

 

While Ultra and BTD are staples in her discography I have found them less relatable as I have gotten older. That said Honeymoon and Ultras compositions and just perfect concepts/execution keep them up in the rankings. 
 

Both Chemtrails and LFL have some real classics/highlights but as a whole just are not as impactful as the albums ranked above. 
 

I personally have always preferred Paradise as a whole vs BTD itself. I just think it is the better executed project. Not to say BTD is lacking by any means but just weighing the albums in full Paradise hits more for me.

today it clicked for me idee.gif that Lana's main theme in her albums and songs (especially the first ones) is Americana. You find it everywhere: American cars, motorcycles, national anthem, blue jeans, pepsi cola ( :-) ), Lady Liberty, Norman Rockwell ...

even BB continues with it: 4th of July, Thunderbird, Nike (just do it), Cowboys (first BB snipet), John Deere

so it's no wonder that she also included country music
