I'm with those who see 'Paradise' as a separate record, though of course seeing it as an EP extension of 'BTD' is also correct. For me, the vibe of 'Paradise' is very different than that of 'BTD' and has its own vision. 

Me too. I never saw a direct musical, lyrical, or visual correlation between BTD and Paradise, apart form the album cover. They're both best enjoyed separately imo.

Do we call this LDR9 cause we are counting AKA or Paradise? It's always been confusing to me 

I personally consider Paradise as a separate record even if it is an EP/BTD re-release

I'm not really sure but I think they're counting Paradise since AKA was still under Lizzy Grant, and LDR hadn't been fully established at that point.

Do we still think of Paradise as an EP? It's 37 minutes long (2 minutes longer than Sour) and was nominated for Pop Vocal Album at the Grammys.

 

Also, I may be mistaken, but don't we consider AKA to be LG1, and not LDR1, since she was technically still Lizzy Grant at the time?

Idk about anyone else but I consider AKA to be LDR1. The sonic change from AKA to BTD was a bit jarring but thematically they aren’t that dissimilar. It was released under the name Lana Del Ray,  but that one letter difference isn’t enough for me to see LDRay and LDR as two different artists. I remember seeing a tweet from one of her old accounts saying that the album is out under the name LDRay; whatever it is, it certainly isn’t LG1

I used to see Paradise as an album also… BTD is Lana telling about her troubled teenage years and Paradise is moving away from NY, to LA, to launch her career. So two distinct phases of her life. And musically, it’s different from BTD. But the BTD cover was shot while filming the first and homemade  version of the Blue Jeans MV… and the Paradise cover was shot while filming the big budget Blue Jeans MV, which kinda joins the two of them. So I don’t know how to see Paradise anymore, except that it’s brilliant.

'Paradise' is one of my favorites of all her albums and/or releases. It is brilliant.

for me, Paradise - even though its really different from Born to Die but somehow its still in the same universe. It's like Born to Die sequel, picks up where BTD ends.

I like the way Yayo transitions into Born to Die

It was indeed released under the name Lana del Ray as opposed to the Kill Kill EP under Lizzy Grant

Nothing Lana will ever do will be reminiscent of Nicki Minaj in any way and for that I'm grateful
