My ranking as of right now...

 

1. Honeymoon 

2. Lust for Life 

3. Chemtrails Over the Country Club 

4. AKA 

5. Born to Die

6. Norman Fucking Rockwell 

7. Ultraviolence

8. Blue Banisters

9. Paradise 

 

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:


My rose garden dreams set on fire by fiends... :illumilana2:

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.

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

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

The run of Sad Girl —> Pretty When You Cry —> Money Power Glory —> Fucked My Way Up to the Top is so underrated and might be my favorite of 4-track run of any of her albums 


  It’s not about having someone to love me anymore

This is the experience of being an American whore

Lana in the future is_married_blanche_baker_2019-02-20_3.we

 

she looks like the evil villain in a movie that has all the money power and glory (pun partially intended) and is effectively unstoppable until the main characters stop her with the power of love
