DLT 7,481 Posted February 13, 2022 Norman Honeymoon Blue Banisters Ultraviolence Chemtrails 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. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluechemtrails 22,909 Posted February 13, 2022 today it clicked for me 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 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've always noticed that these things exist, but only now have I understood the big picture, that it's really everywhere, that she uses these symbols with intention 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
