Sputnik calls it "her best record to date."

I feel like some songs are a bit repetitive and could lose a verse and chorus. Good album nonetheless.

[American Bottom 16,228]

 

Get Free is fucking perfect. I hope it's an indication of what the next one's gonna sound like.

So UV 2.0?

[Beautiful Loser 48,618]

Do you get coin every time you plug *summer research school* cause I’ve seen it in literally every post you’ve made lol. (Joking, don’t take it personal haha)

 

Sorry, it's been taking up most hours of the past weeks and I don't have a shorter word for it.

It's over now though. You won't see it... until next summer!

[RiverColaLight 94]

It would have been nice if Cherry had a few seconds of guitar intro like the live version does. It's one of my favourites and I can't get over how short it is

Or more than 1 second break between the first chorus and second verse

[TROPICUM 6,407]

I'm honestly glad this wasn't a BTD 2.0.

[VeryCherryBalm 427]

is it just me or does White Mustang and Heroin sound suuuper similar?

[Venice Jesus Whore 4,465]

Can you post a picture? I was planning on going there after work, but you have me scared now.

 

I wish the vinyl was out now. Holding vinyl is so much more satisfying.

Don't get it unless you like your booklets like this. I'm upset and feel tempted to buy another copy at a different store. I hate fold-up booklets. I also can't hang the poster up without ruining the booklet now too.

I'm super glad she's getting the acclaim she deserves this era, but it makes me sad that UV and HM will never be loved and respected as much as they deserve

[theeternalstars 4,576]

Several publications have decided to use Born To Die as a measure against which to evaluate Ms Del Rey's music when they themselves shallowly trashed it back in 2012

It's so refreshing to not hear about daddy issues, pale moonlight, her red dress, abusive relationships, dependency, and for Lana to be more concerned about the world and other people rather than just her own world. Her song topics have matured greatly this album.

Critics loved Honeymoon

[cherriesinthespring 5,486]

Change is so beautiful

[IanadeIrey 61,916]

I honestly believe that the Neil Krug NME shoot was the album cover shoot when the record was still called 'Best American Record.'

That picture of Lana on the floor against the bed definitely looks like it could've been an album cover for BAR - just add 'Best American Record' in Philfont across the bottom, slap the parental advisory symbol in the top left corner, and there you go. 

[Venice Jesus Whore 4,465]

The album is getting better and better with each listen.   Definitely a grower

[Solar Fields 4,163]

Critics loved Honeymoon

Yeah that's true

but all the reviews I've seen have said LFL is way better

[AphroditeBaby 912]

Honestly, idc that the "poster" is folded, though its really shitty they did that lol. I'm going to treat the shit out of it and hang it up anyway

[DinahLee 6,184]

is it just me or does White Mustang and Heroin sound suuuper similar?

 

I think both like the same chord progression or something like that, Someone mentioned it yesterday, just a different Key I guess. But u can hear the piano is really almost the same on the intro

 

HEROIN ENDED HA
