"You can't be a muse and be happy, too.

You can't blacken the pages with Russian poetry and be happy." - Blue Banisters

Quote

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.

1. Honeymoon

Although it took me some time to warm up to, this is and probably will always be my favourite album by her. There is something so ~mature about it, yet the OG Lana-magic is still pretty strong. The production, the vocals, the song structures - everything is just so on point with this one. 

 

2. Norman Fucking Rockwell!

I love that late-summer vibe of this album. It's easy to listen to, yet also includes a lot of artistically interesting moments. A perfect blend of her strengths as a songwriter and her more melody/atmosphere focussed work.

 

3. Ultraviolence

Artistically, this one is definitly her most impressive work. She really outdid herself with it. The raw emotion, the dark yet summery undertones, the low-fi, rock-esque production ... I kinda overplayed that album a bit though and only listen to it on special occasions, which is why it only makes it to spot number 3.

 

4. Blue Banisters

I love the overall sound and atmosphere of this album. It's very solid and well crafted. It's not an album that aims for big highlights, but that's ok. It's just so consistently good and lovely to listen through while also being artistically ambitious.

 

 

 

5. Paradise

It's a beautiful piece of art. All the songs have a lot of grandeur, giving her OG LDR-essence a more serious twist with the orchestral soundscape. 

However, I hyped this EP SOOO hard that it's almost physically connected to my late teenage-years and I kinda can't listen to it without that association.

 

6. Born To Die

This is just iconic. However, I only rarely listen to it anymore, mainly because of the same reasons as with Paradise. Both me, my taste in music and Lana as an artist have changed so much since then and I can almost only listen to BTD in a sorta sentimental way.

 

7. Lust For Life

The album as a whole is a trainwreck. It's so incoherent it hurts and there are so many obvious second-thought-decisions, last minute changes and different art directions on it that I never feel the need to listen to it as a full thing.

However, there are a lot of my favourite LDR tracks on this, so many wonderful and timeless songs. And even many of the weaker songs are very well crafted. Even though there are some obvious lows, you can tell a lot of passion went into making this record.

8. Chemtrails over the Country Club

This is just such a bleak experience. Even the stronger tracks feel muffled down. The second half of the album really sucks every piece of energy out of that album and the few times I listened to it, I felt exhausted afterwards. It's not that there is anything terribly bad about any of those songs, but that's mainly because all of them feel half-assed, same-ish and unfinished anyway. Unlike LFL, there is no sign of passion or inspiration on it. Like the album cover it's a lackluster project that showcases what happens if you get too caught up in your comfort zone.


Just do it. Just do it - don't wait!

this makes me look like a pop lana anti i’m not trust me i just think born to die / lust for life are sequenced poorly / use inferior versions of otherwise good songs

 

also honeymoon and aka are practically tied for transcending the concept of excellence

rank with explanations from 20.04 (that was my birthday by the way, lol)

Spoiler

 

1. blue banisters - def not the best in terms of cohesiveness and experience from listening to full album, but it contains many of my faves and i can’t help but love lana’s soft rock acoustic style

2. norman fucking rockwell! - considered her magnum opus so i don’t think there’s much to explain. it developed the vintage sound from last lfl tracks the best way possible

3. chemtrails over the country club - i love this album’s spirit, it feels so light and peaceful

4. honeymoon - the best experience from listening to album in full, probably her most well-executed experimental as well. almost feels a bit wrong to put it behind chemtrails but i just don’t come back to it that often

5. lust for life - potential to be her perfect blend between dreamy and acoustic sounds, if it weren’t there for trap beats. still like it tho, it has great songs

6. aka lizzy grant - haven’t been listening to this one much in a while, but i shouldn’t put it lower. also one of her most well-executed experimental 

7. born to die: paradise edition - connecting these two because they’re equal to me. some songs feel a bit outdated, but i vibe with majority of these albums when i’m in mood. plus love paradise outtakes a lot

8. ultraviolence - well, i still like this album, i just don’t come back to it often. a few songs are skips to me, but the rest is great

9. sirens - cute moments, nothing to stand out though

 

wrote quite much but i love lana’s albums equally so it’s always hard to rank them, there isn’t much songs i genuinely dislike!

 

 

current rank 13.07

1. norman fucking rockwell!

2. honeymoon

3. blue banisters

4. aka lizzy grant

5. chemtrails over the country club

6. lust for life

7. born to die: paradise edition

8. ultraviolence

 

(still loving almost all of her work equally, so it’s not easy to rank these albums)
