Lana Del Ray AKA Lizzy Grant - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

[TrashMagiq 58,951]

Idk if I’m late w this but I was listening to Jump earlier, and when she sings “Palm trees in black and white, last thing I saw before I died” she’s basically describing the Blue Jeans video. Queen of foreshadowing.

originally queen of the gas station was my favorite song from the album. i didn't really get past it, i just replayed it on the youtube video. so when i finally moved past it i enjoyed put me in a movie and jump and mermaid motel. after i was able to listen to the full album without any pitch editing. for a period of time, queen of the gas station was my least favorite. now it's high on the list again. funny how that stuff works.

such a beautiful one of a kind album  there's nothing else in the world that makes me feel like this album does, so happy we have it and it didn't just melt into obscurity

Lmao been listening to the album for like 10mins and then I logged in here, saw this thread popping up and it turns out to be its 11th bday 

 

[NikoGo 61,479]

Happy 11 years to an incredible masterpiece!!

I look for you in magazines

 

I'm taking off my wedding ring

[Fingertips 72,051]

Mermaid Motel, Oh Say Can You See, Pawn Shop Blues, For K Pt 2, Queen of the Gas Station are my faves 

[boom like that 12,006]

Raise Me Up (Mississippi South) still remains to be my favorite song off the record  But I obviously love every other song aswell. Kill Kill is close to my heart aswell cause I found it first from the album off youtube and it reminds of around the time I first listened to it which is an oddly comforting time. Its such a weird song with such a beautiful vibe that only Lana (Lizzy) could create. That goes for the whole album too, only Lana could create such a masterpiece. However I can never listen to the album version of For K Pt 2, it has to be the rahab demo.  It was the first version of the song I heard and fits the vibe so much better imo. The (violins?) at the beginning and end of the song also make the song for me and horns don't do it for me at all. That aside AKA is in a threeway tie with UV and HM for Lana's best album for me and hopefully COCC can squeeze a spot up there aswell!

Happy birthday to this icon  this album adds a whole new layer to Lana's music and it's definitely an essential release. Feels like going back in time with each listen!

[Dark Angel 203,538]

happy 11th birthday! still my all-time favorite album, forever & always!  such a unique and beautiful body of work and a true highlight in her discography

[I Come In Peace 3,478]

Happy 11th! Mermaid Motel is still that bitch x

They’re all bootleg. But the fact that they keep popping up in abundance makes me believe stopping their circulation isn’t one of Lana’s main priorities. I’d say it’s worth getting anyway if you’re gonna listen to it and enjoy it, but if you only collect “official merch”, you’ll have to pass on it.

Occurred to me while listening to QOTGS that this album has a very early Liz Phair vibe (her first two albums). Can’t believe I took so long (only last year!) to get into this record.0

[WaitForLife 5,250]

I wonder why she posted a lot of her AKA days and if it gets re-released soon.
