Chemtrails Over The Country Club

This album reinforced how much Taylor Swift has been inspired by Lana. Those vocal inflections, the runny deliveries, the artsy lyrics. It's a very soothing album, less intense but more cohesive than "NFR!".

Guys, Lana is actually better than this. Why this album??????

#277 Heard Before? I listened to all her albums as they came out. none of them really made an impact on me. Notes: - barely-there instrumentation and a mix that was filtered through pillows makes for an extremely vocal focused album. - she's a fine enough singer, and certainly makes the most of her limited expressive range. unfortunately a lot of the vocal melodies are very similar. - exciting to hear someone strain at the very top of their range. gutsy move to do that on the first track. - individual tracks would stand out better if i paid more attention to the lyrics. but do i really want to? - i dig "Wild at Heart", but that could just be because there was finally a tempo change and it was 6/8. Verdict: Lugubrious: The Album Listen Again? Why not? it's somehow both compelling and forgettable.

If you like Lana you're going to like this one

как-то скучно совсем показалось - 3

Favorite track(s): White Dress, Dark but Just a Game, Dance Till We Die You can tell that this edition of the list was published in 2021 because it's the only possible year that this quite boring album could be chosen to represent Lana's output. But this list has made me appreciate what we have, so she escapes 2 stars.

I don't know, man. I seem to take some issue with her which I can't tell is justified or I'm overreacting. The word "fake" keeps coming to mind. That's not necessarily the voice of some older dude who would rather listen to some rock or punk album and who has a general distate for modern pop music. No. It's more like something about this or her that just feels off. Like she's stringing us along. And maybe the inclusion of this particular album could be a peculiar choice and she has much better things elsewhere. Still, I would probably rather listen to Elizabeth Grant right now than say, Kacey Musgraves or Taylor Swift. A reluctant 3.

It's very serene, but it all kind of blends with the next. Basically nice background music.

I don't hate it, I just don't really feel anything at all. How do you critically appraise something like this? It's at the nexus of teen pop idol, singer songwriter, and drone music. It's so self-consciously ethereal that I can't take it substantively seriously. I like it when she actually sings (like on Wild At Heart) rather than breathlessly asserts...something about Americana, but those moments seem to be mostly on the back half. Also, as I was finishing up, I realized that so many of these songs just don't go anywhere. That breathless, somnolent quality just holds all the way through, and despite not being particularly high energy, it's exhausting. I don't really know what to make of it.

Interesting album. A very talented song writer. I think this is one whose star will rise in my listening.

I don't know, I'm compelled to give it a 4, but I know I would need a very specific atmosphere and mood to enjoy it. Dark but just a game was already a favorite of mine (plus this is the album where I discovered that me and Lana share part of our birth chart). Maybe it's a 3.5 but today is the very first day of autumn cold weather and I'm feeling it

Every song was the same faux esoteric lyrics, the same vocal cadence, the mostly minimalist music. Tori Amos has been making this album since the 80s There is zero reason to have this dreck on the list

I'm positively surprised! Yeah, it's sombre, it's "sadcore", but I like it!

This album is good. She makes some nice music. Better than this album tbh. Weird that this was the one that was chosen

2.7 — in a certain mood this is great, but the low score is because I personally am rarely in that mood. Good stuff, just not really for me.

Man this was annoying to listen to. Couldn't understand a word she said and it's trying to be like whimsical or something but it's just irritating.

Listenable but Norman Fucking Rockwell is way better. LDR sounds the same after a short while. Best tracks: Chemtrails..., Tulsa Jesus Freak Rating: 5/10

Previously unknown. A drag.

3.5 stars. She has a beautiful voice but I didn’t love the album

Sound like a Lana Del Ray album, just with a country tint. If you like her style, you will probably like this album. I thought it was fine, if a little redundant. She has better. 3.5 stars

i expect nothing less from my girl lana but Born to Die better be on this list too

Never tuned in much to Lana Del Rey, but a little surprised none of her earlier albums are on here. Observing from afar during high school, she kind of blew up early on in her career within certain circles. The prolific Jack Antonoff was also involved in production here it seems, but this partnership was hardly new at this point. It actually does kind of sound like post-2019 folk-era Taylor Swift, for better or for worse. Makes sense I guess, but I seem to remember Lana Del Rey's earlier work and sound being more interesting (from what little I've heard at least). The lyrical content is wistful and nostalgic, and Lana certainly has the sultry voice to match, but this album just doesn't do much else. Perfectly competent in production and scale, but probably not the best album representative.

2.75

1.5

“White Dress” has been stuck in my head since I’ve first heard it. This album is very mellow electronic tinged pop and is best listened to on headphones and even reading some of the lyrics. Lana has a singing style where sometimes her words get lost in her whisper. “Let Me Love You Like A Woman” sounds similar more like Older Lana Del Rey. She’s singing this one out more “Wild At Heart” is the strong ballad. Another Stand out I feel this is very good album but will Depending on mood. Light 4/5. Will check out more of her work

I cant believe how good this album is! Very subdued, part of that whole piano ballad phase in early 20s pop. Sometimes the production is oddly empty, or maybe my hearing is failing. Love how the songs are allowed to rest, especially when the drums got to keep going on and on

terrible

When it comes to albums from the last 30-ish years it seems like this list picks whatever was relevant at the time of adjusting the list-- over prior,stronger works from the artist? I know her fans would say her strongest are Ultraviolence, Born to Die or NFR. I haven't listened to much of her music so I cant say much but I'm going to assume,due to her fanfare, this was a weaker pick. I'm not entirely sure why this is essential, the lyrics seemed predictable and tame? A very mild album.

Gave it a go, never again. Boring, slow, didnt care about the lyrics. Buns

I appreciate the delicate touch to pop. The lyrics are clever and lucid. It's better than so much of what's out there and I do appreciate the craftsmanship. But I just find her voice and melodies annoying.

Love LDR but this isn't one of my favorite albums

Not on Apple Music. Rating based on other album.

havent listened to Lana in years, still knew all the lyrics to the 2nd track

I enjoyed this album in passing but would not seek it out for myself. She has a very lovely voice and is very talented, though I am still confused about who Steve is. 3/5

Very moody. The first song was hard to get through, but after that the album became pretty enjoyable. Alittle more poppy as the album progressed. The tail end slowed down a bit...but was still very easy to listen to. Not my normal style of music...but i can appreciate it for what it was. Every song was decent to good except the 1st song. That one was not for me.

This album is most definitely not for me, but I didn’t mind it

Fav: Wild At Heart L: Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost 2.5 Do you think in twenty years people will look back on whisper pop and think what were those guys thinking? Before I went to bed I checked the next album coming up, I had a dream that the first song on the album was really good. Unfortunately White Dress was just alright and mentioned Kings of Leon and Florida. I had the playlist on my second monitor and when the music video for Let Me Love You Like A Woman was on I looked over and was like "woah, there's Joan Baez". That was the most exciting part of listening to this. Cover: 2.5 Sure Name: 3 Fine Minecraft Parody: Not Every Villager Has Work

I grew to appreciate Lana's music over the years, but this is one of her weaker late-career records. That mainly has to do with the production being pretty unimaginative. Nothing bad, just slightly bland. Lana's breathy, whispery lead vocals are also hit or miss here, for example I can't stand her falsetto on the opening track. The title song and Dark but Just a Game on the other hand are very good songs.

2021?! Really like story style

ehmmm, no es lo mejor de lana, tampooco es que sea malo, pero definitivamente nunca volvere a escuchar nada de este album

I could see Born to Die making this list....but this was painful.

Idk I never really liked her stuff that made it to the radio so I was looking forward to seeing if the full album made it make any more sense. I just don't get any emotion from this. Idk. Rounding up to 3 stars but except for a couple of moments I didn't really enjoy it

I did not care for the breathy singing here nor the kind of melodramatic presentation of mundane life topics. I think maybe as a grump I'm not the target audience. I was in a particularly bad mood driving to work when I listened to this and I was having thoughts again about why I even find music to be an important part of my life at all. I don't know how much the album contributed to that mindset but if it did at all that's probably fairly damning.

I like Lana Del Rey, but I'd never listened to a whole album of hers before. I enjoyed this. I already owned the song Chemtrails Over the Country Club. I also really liked the song Dark but Just a Game. I'd never heard that one before.

I kinda like one Lana Del Rey song at a time but her style and writing quickly sour on me. Dark But Just A Game is probably the only song on here I'd want to listen to again and honestly I think it's just that it occasionally has a beat behind it.

Lana Del Rey makes entire albums of the one slow song that closes an otherwise eclectic album. Any individual track on here might be a four but god that weighs down an entire album. Every single song feels like the same gradual release of tension. I’d absolutely love this if it had more tracks like Dance Till We Die

TL;DR: A strong collection of folk ballads underpinned by tasteful production and Del Rey's singular vocals. BEFORE: Pretty new for this list. I'm not complaining. I like some of her singles and Norman Fucking Rockwell is a great album. I remember some unwarranted bullshit Let's see how we go. AFTER: I really enjoyed it but I did also zone out a bit from time to time. It's a great collection of ballads with a few fun surprises provided by the production choices and guest vocalists. HIGHLIGHTS: White Dress is an incredible song, finding the universal in the specific with Del Rey straining to reach the top of her register. Chemtrails Over The Country Club is lowkey psychedelic. Wild At Heart has a great build of energy. Dark But Just A Game pairs an unorthodox composition with some fun production switches. Yosemite's electronic touches really elevate the song. Dance Till We Die's bridge is another touching song with a welcome change of pace in the bridge. For Free is a tasteful Joni Mitchell cover with lovely vocal contribution from Weyes Blood and Zella Day. LOWLIGHTS: The songs are strong but sometimes it can all feel a little similar, at least until the closing minute or so of Dance Till We Die - these are all ballads and torch songs with acoustic instrumentation and a few tasteful electronic elements thrown in. You probably have to be in the right mood for this, and if you like a bit more energy and variety in your music this might not be for you. VERDICT: Really liked it even if it didn't always hold my attention (it didn't help that I was also working). It's a solid 4.

Doesn’t really do anything for me, just kinda slides into the background.

It's hard for me to even get to lyrical analysis because I dislike Lana's style so much. The rhyme schemes and melodies are so fucky that listening to her is like nails on a chalk board. White Dress may be a beautifully written song, but I will never know because I was just waiting for it to be over the entire time.

If we get one Lana Del Rey album on this list, why is it this one? Norman Fucking Rockwell is the superior choice. Anyways this was fine. I enjoy Lana’s sound and in particular her storytelling craft that we don’t always get with a lot of modern appearances on this list.

I've never got into Lana Del Rey. The first half felt like a pastiche I couldn't take serious, with rambling stream of thought. I felt it picked up in the second (maybe having other vocalists helped for variation), but only scrapes a 2.

Mid table Lana Del Ray for me. The first couple of songs are quite arresting and lyrically interesting but it's not as satisfying a whole as Norman Rockwell. As ever with Lana it would be nice if she mixed it up a little with some different tempos, moods and textures.

Lana is getting a low 3, the production is lovely and occasionally i'm convinved by the folk pop but honestly the best thing here by a mile is the Joni tune

Phew. While listening to the first track I thought I was about to suffer through a one star album. Luckily she then reigned in the falsetto and was climbing towards the stars before she threw in av Joni Mitchell cover at the end which got an instant deduction.

This was a lot more mellow than I was expecting. Some really solid melodic moments happen. I was waiting expecting for some songs to really pop off but they never really happened, which is fine, but it lead me to be anticipating something rather than be fully ingrained into the music. It had a nice overall off-kilter vibe to it. I just don't think this was a 'must-hear' but other than that I liked it. Highlight Song/s: "Wild at Heart" and "Dark but Just a Game"

Dit is wel een beeeetje die overproduced muziek die ik lastig vind om te reviewen. Ik zie absoluut de schoonheid hiervan in, maar dat Lana eigenlijk altijd behoorlijk hoog en zweverig zingt geeft het album een bepaalde sfeer mee die ik wel vet vind maar niet altijd voor een heel album. De productie is voor mij wat dit album echt draagt, met de spacey vocals van Lana eroverheen zorgt het wel echt voor veel sfeer. Maar nee, deze stijl van pop is het gewoon niet helemaal voor mij. Is dit die whisper sing songwriting die toen heel populair was? Niet echt mijn muziek, misschien als ik volle bak de teksten lees, maar als luisteraar word het al snel een soort brij aan het zelfde nummer. Doet me eigenlijk een beetje denken aan 'Verveelde gozer zingt britpop', gelukkig vind ik dit iets beter, het is gewoon niet heel spannend. Dit is de meest '3' rating die ik heb uitgedeeld in lange tijd. Niet geweldig, niet slecht, het is gewoon een album. FAVO: Dance till we die (minst dansbare nummer OOIT)

There is something about her voice that occasionally grabs my attention, but the songs tend to be mono themed and I get a bit bored by the end of the album.

Fucking ass

Great album. Way too recent to be taken seriously as something you need to hear before you die, but a really enjoyable listen regardless.

I don't know if I have heard Lana Del Rey before. I am aware of her, but this is my first time sitting down to listen. Overall I was not that impressed. You know how in a big, loud, bombastic album, an artist will sometimes have a quiet acoustic song to wind down the album? This whole album feels like that, every song feels like it's the last thing Lana Del Rey is going to sing before stepping off stage for the encore. Anyway, all the songs sound the same, with monotone singing and are basically tuneless. Wild At Heart was the first song that did anything instead of being a monotone throughout, with its increasing volume and intensity, but first, that's about the most basic musical trick there is, and second. its overall gentle style does not suit something called Wild At Heart. Breaking Up Slowly was the first song that feels like it has rhymes and beats. It's very slow, but at least I feel like I might be able to sing along. The only song I really liked was For Free, although it makes its point in the first half the song and then goes on twice as long. And like all the songs on this album, the lyrics are not that deep, the analysis I have seen of them feels a bit forced because the meaning is almost all on the surface level anyway. But For Free is absolutely correct: success is no measure of quality in art. This list of albums is clogged with artists I don't care about while music made with passion and love goes unheard. As I approach the end of this project, I am more and more looking forward to the users' album choices. I feel like I'm coming across as a hater, but honestly I just don't like this, and won't deny her her place on the list. This is popular and representative of a contemporary style and listening to it has been an education.

I don’t really understand the hype behind this one. She does too much whisper singing for my taste. 3/10

I’ll see your folklore and evermore and raise you one country club.

THERE IS NO MUSIC IN THESE SONGS!!!! Okay, obviously something vaguely resembling a washed out copy of a copy of someone’s half-forgotten memory of the idea of music is way in the background. I assume there must be. I can see the song credits. I can hear occasional evidence of some kinds of musicesque sounds. But I swear to God, I cannot hear anything I would identify as actual music playing. I’ve read about stores playing high-pitched tones out front that only teenagers can hear to prevent them from loitering in the parking lot and scaring away paying adult customers and wonder if Lana Del Rey and everyone who emulates her style have synthesizers that use only those tones, and there is actual music playing and I just can’t hear it. Because otherwise I feel like I’m taking crazy pills when I hear this style of modern “pop” music. I hear Lana Del Rey singing. I hear an electronic piano sound that occasionally plays a couple of notes. I hear some drums every now and then. I hear various washes of atmospheric noise, including a kind of whooshing static that hangs around the title track. But I don’t hear anything that I would instinctively identify as the music of the song. I hear tones arranged around Lana Del Rey singing to give her voice a backdrop to perform in front of. But no music. I realize this is apparently an intentional aesthetic, but I absolutely hate it. There is a whole strain of contemporary pop music, including all of Taylor Swift’s albums between Lover and Life of a Showgirl, in which the singer’s voice is treated as the only thing that really matters, while everything else has been turned down to the point where it seems almost an afterthought. The artist seems to be saying, “Look, I know you need some kind of sounds in the background while I sing, so here’s a piano chord and some atmospheric noise. Don’t worry about it. I’m the important part.” I want the music to be an equal partner to the singer’s voice. I want instruments and melodies and rhythms that do something. I want arrangements that make me notice that a song is playing somewhere and I’m not just listening to someone sing their journal to me. I want the stuff accompanying the singer to occasionally demand my attention rather than politely standing in the corner while she tells me how complicated and mysterious her inner life is. Instead, so much of Chemtrails Over the Country Club feels like Lana Del Rey singing over the musical equivalent of a screensaver. This isn’t a criticism of Lana Del Rey’s voice. Her voice is obviously distinctive, and I can understand why people like listening to it. But apparently I’m supposed to find the voice itself sufficiently interesting to compensate for the near-total absence of everything else that I look for in a song. I don’t. At some point I stop hearing a song and start hearing a person singing over some vague tonal material that exists primarily to keep the recording from technically being a cappella. Apparently this is what contemporary pop music wants to be now: the singer, her feelings, and a few tasteful noises. I would like some songs, please. PostScript: I’m going to tack on an extra star because this isn’t that bad and because she married a toothless Louisiana hillbilly gator wrassler. That’s the kind of decision making I can get behind.

This the first Lana Album that I’ve heard and I absolutely love her voice! I can’t wait to check out more!

Could not have named one Lana Del Rey song before I listened to this, but I liked this album. This is almost ambient music and created a mood/vibe that was...nice.

Raro álbum. No me gusta mucho. Es algo más bien personal, entiendo que a varios pueda gustarle. 4/10

Not terrible but definitely not something I'm ever going to listen to again.

Звучит как нытьё, а такое я одобряю

Я апологет Ланы номер один. Ей можно делать все. Очень люблю этот альбом. Великая. Наша крокодайл мами.

Я люблю лану Но Почему именно этот альбом здесь? Не более культовые бтд и ультра, не критикли и кем только не аклеймд нфр А именно химтрейлы Ну ладно, лана хотя бы присутствует, и на том спасибо

Ærligt. Det tog mere end et lyt at ramme de 5 stjerner, men nøj hvor er det det værd nu. Efter 6 gennemlytning, så napper jeg lige den 7. inden sengetid, og ungerne skal også lige tvinges til at nyde en så stærk og varieret vokal. Helt vild med hende. - Skal vi snart til en af hendes koncerter? <3 Standout tracks: White Dress, Chemtrails Over the Contry Club, Breaking up slowly.

Lana, Lana, Lana Du er dronningen af Americana Nogle hylder Johnny, Joni og Bob Jeg undertrykker et grin, og siger stop Giv mig kirsebærtærte og Pepsi Cola Johnny og Bob smager af Gorgonzola

this is all a bit sad mopey country ballad and 2021 is far too early for an album to be classed as a classic

She sounds like she’s trying to be a female version of Johnny Cash

Taylor Swift soundalike. Millions love it. Meh. I can take it or leave it.

I may not be much of a Lana Del Rey enthusiast, but I know "Born to Die" is the indie-pop 'i listen to something more obscure than Taylor Swift' pick, "Norman Fucking Rockwell" is the fan favorite, and "Did you know that there's a tunnel under ocean blvd" is the underground critic choice, but I've never ever heard of "Chemtrails over the country club". And it's no wonder, it is quite dull. The jazzy music compositions are actually pretty good, and occasionally her voice really shines through enough to push this just above a 3... but unfortunately the lyrics are so mind numbing and godawful throughout, AND she references Kings of Leon in a way that could be be misconstrued as positive, so I'm taking away a full point. 3.1/5 (-1 for the KoL) -> 2.1/5 -> 2/5

2/5. Over the years I have become much friendlier toward pop music and have gained an appreciation for a lot of pop artists both current and past and their place in culture/music history. That being said I have never cared for Lana Del Rey very much. I can respect just how influential she was to the music of the 2010’s, there is a direct line between “Born to Die” and all the moodier down-tempo pop that would come later in the decade, but her music and artistic persona have just never clicked for me, I find it all drab and boring. Most I can really say is that I enjoy a few tracks off of her album “Norman F*cking Rockwell.” Which is all a long winded way of saying, Chemtrails over the Country club really didn’t do much for me. Even a track featuring Weyes Blood who I really enjoy didn’t make me feel much of anything. I’ll openly admit that this one’s more of a me thing and less about the merits of the music itself, but I just didn’t care for it.

1 Oct 2026 · 3/10 Overproduced and annoying, great melodies though. I wish the lyrics were good. Every song sounded pretty similar, not much variety, and this is, again, due to the production. Not a fan.

The creators of Spring Awakening once said that they wanted the whole musical to be slow ballads, but were told to add a few upbeat songs to break it up and the show is better for it. Lana should heed that advice. The songs aren’t bad, Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost is pretty good. It’s just repetitive.

Bello ma un po lagna

At time of writing, Lana Del Ray is the 31st most listened to album on Spotify. That’s fucking insane because I know 1 song by her. Literally a single one. And I do like that song! Video Games. But uh. You ever run into something that is clearly not meant for you? This is like reviewing makeup to me. I don’t wear it. It’s not for me. This album is clearly for teenager girls and young women. I can’t relate to this at all. I’ve never been THIS sad about…ennui? Is that the mood? Saudade about like…being a religious freak?

damn bitch take a lexapro

Weird choice of LDR album to make people listen to before they die…. As much as I enjoy this album I think it’s more important to listen to Born To Die Paradise Edition.

6/10

Second album from the list I purchased on release day, biased. I love this album and even though it’s not the Lana album I would choose to represent her discography (I’d go with either Born to Die or Norman Fucking Rockwell) I do think this was as good a choice I could’ve asked for. I know this album so well I could’ve literally just taken the day off. Lotta haters in these reviews for this one but with this album just like let the vibes wash over you Playlist add: "Tulsa Jesus Freak"

Only one song made my ears prick up.

I'm having trouble falling in love with this. It seems like a discount version of Tori Amos and I find the whisper-singing a grating.

She whisper sings

My note to the 1001 Albums community: Never fall for anyone who stans Lana Del Rey. It will only result in this being the single, most uncomfortable listen you will have to do. Fuck you, Jack Antonoff (3/10, 1/5 on this scale)

I love lana, but her in alt country mode is not what put butts in the seats

Another artist thrown in with a current album as an afterthought or to fill some quota of modern albums, while not being as good as their previous work, or as culturally relevant. Trust me, if Born to Die was on this, it would be a strong 4 stars, maybe even talk myself into a 5/5, but when you're getting into the Seventh album and it's more of the same, it leads to question why start here instead of something like Born to DIe which peaked at #2 in US BIllboard charts (#1 in UK and many places abroad), and remained on the chart for over 600 weeks, making it the longest charting album by a female artist. It has 6 singles, at least 2 of which blew up prior to the album and made her a known name. What's this album got? It came out after her book, has a similar US/UK chart (though did worse everywhere else), 3 singles, and was delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. I guess it has a little more of a stripped down folk aesthetic (lining it up with Taylor Swift's own shift around the era of Folklore/Nevermore, funny enough) than baroque pop style she made her name over. Yeah, this is a skip. You'll be fine dying without hearing it, and arguably I wouldn't blame someone who never heard Lana Del Rey having zero interest to find anything else by her because this album is pretty dull and doesn't have the same phenomenon around it her earlier albums did.

Ne dobrovoljno ali solidno sam upoznata s muzikom Lane Del Rey. Čak i ono bolje njeno me pomalo ubija u pojam a za ovaj album znam da ni njeni ljubitelji iz moje kuće nemaju pozitivno mišljenje. Pa smo ga pažljivo preslušali svi zajedno. Postoje možda tri podnošljivije pjesme koje su na nivou njenih inače. A ostalo je krš teški. I mogao se probrati neki daleko bolji album da je predstavi, koji možda i zaslužuje biti na ovoj listi. Tekstovi, posebno pred kraj albuma, su stravično tanki.

Look…I love Lana. I love this album. But it’s an odd choice for this considering she had Norman Fucking Rockwell which is the 🐐 and also the very influential Born to Die.

Familiar with Lana's early stuff and then stopped listening cause it all seemed the same. This album didn't change that thought. Same sounds as before, nothing stuck the way some older ones did. Didn't dislike it, just not sure the album itself was meant to be listened to. Maybe any of her albums could've been ticked off, as in she's an artist worth listening to once before you die, but any album will do

Want to relisten when im sadder

Baffled why this is on the list when Lana has many better albums (NFR????? Born to Die!???) but fine. I gave it a proper listen which I don’t think I did when it came out. The vocal performance on White Dress, a reminder that the voice is an instrument and there are always choices apart from “sing as pretty as possible”. I still ride for the meninmusicBUSINEssconference. Probably a 3.5

Trochę dziwi mnie wybór akurat tej płyty do zestawienia, bo Born To Die, jeśli bierzemy jedną płytę z dorobku Lany, jest akurat dużo bardziej reprezentacyjny dla tego, kim ona jest i co robi w muzyce. Ale do rzeczy - to jest dobra płyta, w jej skali i w ogóle w swoim gatunku i klimacie 'old money daddy fucking wannabe'. Lubię Lanę i jej zakręconą osobowość w muzyce, dlatego godnie też oceniam ten album.

Look I love Lana but why is this one on the list and not Born to Die?

First full listen of a Lana Del Rey album, and I'm pretty impressed. I'm sure she deserves a spot on the list, don't know if this one would be it, but I liked it a lot and she has a distinct aesthetic.

Lana came into my life two years ago when she released There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Boulevard. I was totally captivated by this so it followed that I went back in her catalogue. Result is that in my view she hasn’t released a dud album at all. I ended up buying this album blind having not heard one track but confident that it would be a gem as it is. There’s similarity with Taylor Swift albums in that a lot of effort goes into the lyrics. To the extent, if you are so minded, to put in the time to decipher the words to understand the full meaning of the songs. I have every Lana Del Rey album and understand that a lot of her songs are connected and cleverly referenced in other songs which is the case on this album. Lana’s music floats along beautifully with a delivery, be it whispering or in a high key with which she seems to be straining but still pulling it off, makes her albums so distinctive. 5/5 17/9/26
