Chemtrails Over The Country Club

3.8

Lana del Rey es sin dudas una de las mejores voces femeninas de las últimas dos décadas, y adoro todo su trabajo. Personalmente Chemtrails Over The Country Club no es de mis favoritos pero porque sé que tiene álbumes mejores, por ejemplo NFR es absolutamente su obra maestra. Pero es verdad que hay algunas joyitas acá.

What a treatttt i already know and love this album but will still relisten. It’s even better than I remembered honestly wow. dance till we die is phenomenal.

Niet echt mijn muziek

This was a good album, but not as strong as NFR in my opinion.

It’s good, I like some of the vocals on different songs but it’s not one of my favorite albums from her.

This album was quintessential Lana Del Rey. I very much enjoyed revisiting this album after not listening to it for a few years or so at least. I generally enjoy and like everything that Lana puts out and have had the pleasure of seeing her live in concert twice. Overall, I think this is a great album by Lana and I will definitely be listening to it again in the future!

It was surprising but I actually liked this one a good bit more than the other Lana we did. Maybe it was that it was a bit shorter, maybe I was in a more forgiving mood but I enjoyed the vibe this created.

There's four or five different Lana Del Rey albums that I could name off the top of my head, even as someone who's totally unfamiliar with her work. This is not one of them, and I don't think I've even heard any fans of her mentioning its name before! I guess I just don't understand why this one's here and not Born to Die or Ultraviolence, which I associate with the indie-er girls I went to high school with, and which I think were fairly important in the direction 2010s music took? Anyway, this is fine but kind of boring. It's got me feeling like I need to check out Born to Die and Ultraviolence, so it's not a total loss of a day, I guess?

sybau <3

Hab leider nicht so viel mitbekommen, dass Raclette hat so laut gebrutzelt. Aber was ich gehört habe, war gut.

Tolles Album, sehr stimmig und vereinzelte Höhepunkte. Hier und da gewisse Längen und Hit-Dichte zu gering für eine höhere Wertung, es reicht aber noch für schwache 4 Sterne.

Leider nicht das beste LDR-Album, daher in dieser Liste fehlplatziert (Born to Die, NFR oder Ocean Blvd. würde ich hier eher sehen). Dennoch sind hier einige wirklich hervorragende Songs dabei (allen voran "White Dress") und für das Weyes Blood-Feature gibt's auch Probs. Durch ihren hohen Output gibt's hier leider auch etwas zu viel Mittelmaß.

Stimmiges schönes Album. Hängen geblieben ist aber trotzdem nicht so viel.

Sehr schönes Album, bevor ich aber mehr geben kann, muss ich es glaube ich nochmal hören.

Richtig intensiver Vibe, hat mich ziemlich reingezogen. Anfang und Ende des Albums würde ich 5 geben, aber in der Mitte hat es einen kleinen Durchhänger, weshalb nur eine 4 wird

Fucking love Lana Del Rey. She's right up there with Leonard Cohen. Don't like this one as much as Ocean Blvd, but it's still wonderful.

Lana's got a pretty voice, but every song is kinda boring here thh

Pretty awesome album, made even better on a flight leaving California. I haven’t heard a lot of Lana’s deeper cuts and this album opened my eyes- a lot of great songs like “Let me love you like a woman” and “Yosemite” The instrumentation was also great - a lot of subtle sounds creating ambience that fades in an out with Lana’s voice a mainstay

I honestly didn’t expect to like this album as much as I did. Thought I would find it boring since I was put off a bit by the first song, but the rest really surprised me. It reminded me a bit of evermore by Taylor Swift so it made a lot of sense once I found out this was also produced by Jack Antonoff. Very nice folk feel throughout. Tough to say if it should be on this list given how recent it is, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

A masterclass in 'Vibe-core' that finally answers the question: What if we took the 2020s trend of minimalist pop and distilled it until it was functionally a white noise machine? Produced by Jack Antonoff (who apparently now holds the exclusive patent on 'Hushed Pianos and Whispering'), this album is so mid-tempo it makes Calexico sound like Speed Metal. It’s the ultimate 'Recency Bias' inclusion—the musical equivalent of a 'Live, Laugh, Love' sign in a billionaire’s guest house. If this is a 'Must-Hear Before You Die,' I’d like to formally request an extension on my life so I can spend that 45 minutes listening to a genre the editors actually forgot existed: Disco.

This is shit

I was told this is not her best album and after listening to it, I have no reason to doubt it. It's not awful. I understand some people love it. I just don't like it very much myself.

I like this album a lot, and look forward to listening to more of Lana Del Rey's material.

Certains autres albums de Lana Del Rey me titillent plus.

J'ai toujours eu un petit faible pour Lana Del Rey, et ce depuis Born To Die. Je m'y remets une fois de temps en temps, j'avais bien aimé Norman Fucking Rockwell. Mais là on y va en grand avec une finale Joni Mitchell ouuuf! Pas le truc le plus emballant pour le réveillon, même un peu downer, mais j'aimerais bien y retourner, on y va pour 5 étoiles.

J’aimerais aimé Lana Del Rey et il y avait de bons flash mais je trouvais ça un peu trop soporifique à mon goût. Je devrai y retourner dans de meilleurs dispositions.

I thought her voice was alright before I listened to this album.

como me aburre lana del rey zzzzzzzzzzz

Some good songs but overall a bit repetetive and boring

i'm not a real gay man because i really haven't listened to much lana del rey until now. with a central theme of disillusionment, nostalgia, and deep emotions under grace and elegance. many people in the youtube comments of these tracks share their own stories, especially about their relationships and reflections about time spent. it's very atmospheric, a certain kind of sound, especially when you have these pretty guitars and a beautiful, breathy voice often sounding blunt, tired and moody. a lot of tracks blend in, but the concept is very strong. it's like the memoir of a 50s housewife who's fed up with the universe.

Look I love her to death but apparently this is the only Lana album on the list, which is just….. why???? Why THIS one? There are songs here that are so so important to me and then there are others where I totally get the haters. It’s kind of funny to have got this so close to Christmas, because last Christmas I went through a really big Lana phase and in particular was listening to White Dress A LOT. Not particularly festive haha, idk what was going on with me at the time. Chemtrails is still a 4 for me even though it’s nowhere near her best.

I've been meaning to listen to more Lana Del Rey. This is clearly very good but I'm still finding what I have before - I find it hard to connect with the songs emotionally, a lot of it feels a bit detached and artful to me. I think that's a me problem though. I'll give this another listen at some point.

1.5

I like glimpses, but it suffered from the modern disease that songs don't do too much/enough and productionis king. I know melancholy is kind of her thing but still. I kind of like what she does and think there is talent here, but it's like there is only 1st and second gear. It's good but too much of not much, and produce the life out. Still, Like it more than thought, could have liked more, newish album probably should have been given space to see if really should be on here. 3 Star

Good stuff, I enjoyed this after listening for a few songs.

Very cozy

Put me to sleep.

Tää oli ihan ok levy. Jokusen biisin oon artistilta aiemmin kuullut, mutta tää oli varmaankin eka kokonainen levy, jonka kuuntelin.

Overall: 6/10 This is my first time really listening to Lana. She has a nice voice, and I like her style for the most part. I find her lyrics to be incredibly cringey at times and that's truly stopping me from loving this. Also, this seems like a weird choice since this is her album I've seen discussed the least in pop culture. Fav Song: Dark But Just a Game

I do like Lana Del Ray and this album, but this seems like an odd pick for this list

Sad girl indie pop/folk. Lana's lyrics and singing are certainly teeming with emotion and trauma, but the barebones production and her sleepy singing style -- while interesting at first, especially on the title track -- really dragged the whole listening experience down for me, especially throughout the back half. The fact that almost every song sounds super same-y doesn't help either. Give me more drums, damnit! I kept thinking to myself that this album must have been Taylor Swift's inspiration for Tortured Poets Department. Big surprise, Jack Antonoff co-produced both albums... note to self, steer clear of his production work from now on.

Min första femma! Ett fantastiskt album, Lana fångar något som ingen annan tidigare gjort.

Jag känner till Lana del Rey bara i namnet men hör direkt att jag är fel målgrupp. Men let's go ändå. Det som verkligen är asbra med denna skiva för mig är texterna. Jag har läst mig till att Lana Del Rey även skriver poesi och det finns helt klart en poetisk kvalitet över texterna. Detta är fantastiskt tycker jag, i en tid då populärmusik präglas av remixar och astråkig generisk dunka dunk. Det är en lugn skiva kan vi konstatera. Om det är typiskt Lana vettifan, aldrig hört hennes musik innan. Men jag blir en konvertit allteftersom skivan fortlöper. Framåt slutet har jag ändrat mig från skeptisk till väldigt positivt överraskad. Det är fan lite mysigt att lyssna på Lana del Rey på morgonen medan man gå igenom alla nya mail exempelvis. Så jag tänker försöka se bortom min direkta smak när jag sätter betyget.

Singer Songwriter, 50 eme album => 2/5 Pas désagréable, mais (évidemment) trop basé sur le chant. L'accompagnement est plutôt en retrait, je me suis ennuyé assez vite. Pas de seconde écoute envisagée.

#795. For some reason, I found this 45 minutes of sad girl pop to be fairly pleasant to listen to. 3/5: decent

Still not my style. This is better than other artists of a similar style, but it's just not for me.

I feel like I try to like Lana more than I actually do.

Some interesting moments floating in undeserved pretentiousness.

It’s good but limited. Everything on it is good as an individual track. But the pace never changes and the vibe is consistent throughout.

I'm not mad about this album being included in this list. But it's slow as hell. Sounds nice and good but just too damn slow and sad.

3.18/5 Stars Top Songs: Wild at Heart, Dark But Just a Game and Not all Who Wander are Lost

feels like girlhood mixed with womanhood. a sexy fairy if you will.

The high, wispy singing in White Dress is some of the worst sounds I've heard on this journey so far. The rest of the album was inoffensive enough to pull out two stars, but no songs on here I'll listen to again.

This was cute and cheeky

Good but I was depressed at the end of it as usual.

Good album but not for me.

I liked this. Kinda ethereal, nice harmonies.

Honestly I liked it. Easy to listen to in the background. Musically, probably not the best album we've had so far. But I'd listen to this again, for sure.

Not my cup of tea, I hear Summertime Sadness and Young and Beautiful, but they aren't playing..

I could see how people my age like her music, but it's just not for me.

So very breathy. And did she come from a small town, perhaps? But somehow, I still enjoyed it.

Soft and quaint pop from the softly-sung sugar-and-cream era of popular music where Billie Eilish can be queen and Beach House's Space Song can be a TikTok sensation Not the most distinguishable album from its kind but it's pleasant to receive from the list

# Playlist Track - Chemtrails over the Country Club # Notes - Uninspired, really. Lana's first albums are much more varied. - This one feels like a suuuuper long and bored teenage "sigh".

This breathy whisper singing is not my thing. Extremely tedious to get through. The compositions and melodies are nice but the bedroom production style of modern pop doesn’t do it for me.

29/11/2025 I've never actually known what Lana Del Ray is famous for, so this was a pleasant surprise for me. Spotify listeners: 61.8 million

Mother

First song? great. Rest of the album? Idk might take more listens

3.5 (45:28,11 tracks, 2021, seventh album); Americana/folk Not a bad album, I think people misunderstand Lana Del Rey when they criticize her for being boring. The genre is not pop or rock, she is recording in the genre. It's definitely a stripped-down sound that not everyone will find interesting. I'm not a huge fan of Lana but this album was pleasant enough, there weren't any stand out tracks. The album wasn't as good as her previous Norman Fucking Rockwell.

4/10

beetje traag he Lana

- Tja. Niet slecht gezongen, maar niet echt mijn ding. - 0 nummers toegevoegd aan MMMM - 0 nummer al toegevoegd aan MMMM

4/10 Exhausting

Listening to this album as the sun rises over the hills made my morning perfect. Sometimes you need Lana.

Lyrics are interesting, but most of her songs sound the same. Not for me.

Highlights: - chemtrails over the Country Club - tulsa Jesus freak - Dark but just a Game - Dance Till we die nicht mein Lieblings Lana Album, aber sehr schön, romantisch und persönlich + sehr coheisive

Elevator music

Very Lana, but I really enjoyed her moodiness more than I thought I would!

She always comes across like she has no respect for her fans and this album wasn't that interesting.

never understood the love for lana del rey and her boring music

Lyrically sound but musically underwhelming like most ldr albums.

Perfect album!

Not what I expected. Sonically, it sounds beautiful. Some of the lyrics are a little over the top for me. Overall, pretty good. My wife summed it up best: sad girl cigarette music.

#181/1001. Lana Del Rays music is the equivalent of post coital quality time. It is the smell of coffee made from freshly ground beans. It is slipping under cool satin bedcloth. The feeling on your skin and scent of a day in the morning when you know the day will be warm. A jump of a single fish in a pond. You know, those feelings and sensations which are irrelevant for survival, but which make life worth living, but which also could be replaced with a ton of other sensations. Very few do it with their music though.

it's slow and somewhat mellow, so it's mood dependent. But i likey

I cannot handle another full album of ballads without a single drum snare. Not my kind of music, couldn't think of a situation where one would listen to an album like this.

Lana Del Rey – Chemtrails Over the Country Club Rating: ★★★★☆ Lana Del Rey has always lived in that liminal space between dream and memory, and Chemtrails Over the Country Club might be her most weightless drift through that world. This isn’t an album that grabs you by the collar. It’s more like someone opening a window on a warm evening and letting the curtains breathe—soft, slow, unhurried. And somehow, the melodies stick anyway. What struck me most is how beautiful this record is without trying to be monumental. These songs don’t go for the jugular; they don’t even pretend to. Instead they shimmer at the edges, setting a mood that sneaks under your skin only after you’ve stopped paying attention. Her vocals sit like fog over a quiet landscape, and the whole thing floats in this hazy, late-afternoon light. It’s perfect for focused work or a calm walk when you need your brain to downshift. Is it a deep, soul-stirring, life-reorienting album? No. And that’s fine. Not every record needs to be a revelation to earn its keep. This one excels at atmosphere: calming, cohesive, borderline hypnotic. It’s an album I’ll keep close for the times when I need something steady and beautiful in the background—when I want the world to feel just a little softer. A four feels exactly right: lovely, absorbing, memorable in its own quiet way… but not quite a five, which is reserved for the rare records that shake something loose inside you. This one doesn’t shake. It glides. And it glides beautifully.

Really unusual and different in this era of manufactured female singers

Too sleepy and samey for me. Someone get this gal a cold brew!!!! I see why people like it but it’s just not for me Great album art and title though!

Worth re-listening

Nice in the background and foreground. Chill enough not to be distracting the complex enough for critical listening.

Decent

3/6

Boring, but otherwise mostly not bad.

Where Lana starts to become a major album artist.

This is perfect example of the double edged sword this challenge presents. I've been a casual fan of Lana for a long time. This album, if I were 20, would be committed to memory immediately. It's brilliant and heartfelt. I will remember that I loved it, but forget to come back to it because there are so many other albums out there. Could I commit to it like I did with Liz Phair 40 years ago? Sure, if I wanted to. But I won't. Doesn't take away this mornings listen though. It's great.

Do you love Lana Del Rey, or do you just love the laid back hoe energy she brings?

dont like it

I've never given Lana Del Rey a real chance before. I was surprised by how much I liked this one. I could get into this vibe.

Coming from the electronic music world, the vast majority of my experience with Lana Del Rey prior to today had been the two remixes Cedric Gervais did for her back in 2013 and the several collabs with the Weeknd from his albums. If I’m being honest, I don’t think I had heard a solo original from her in at least 10 years, as the only ones I can distinctly recall ever listening to were "Summertime Sadness," "Born to Die" and "Young and Beautiful." That said, I’m not completely blind to modern music discourse and I know she’s been on a bit of a hot streak with critics on her last few albums – her music never really resonated with me before, but I’ve been wanting to dip my toes back in at some point. I imagined that my first full album from her would be NFR or Sunset Blvd (or maybe even Born to Die, for the nostalgia), but hey, I’ll take Chemtrails! This album made it immediately apparent that Lana’s writing had improved significantly over the previous eight years. Her vocal delivery also came across as more animated than I could recall and the stripped-back instrumentals gave her lots of space to shine. I won’t say every song smashed it out of the park, but Chemtrails over the Country Club had a decent number of highlights and I never found myself disliking what I was listening to. I was a bit torn between giving this one three or four stars, but I think I’ll go with the lower option since I could probably live without hearing it from cover to cover again (though I wouldn’t mind if someone else put it on). Listening to Chemtrails has given me a new sense of urgency to check out some of Lana’s other recent work and she doesn’t have any other Book Albums, so I just might have to listen to those in the next few weeks! Highlights: Chemtrails over the Country Club, Tulsa Jesus Freak, Let Me Love You like a Woman, Yosemite, Breaking Up Slowly, For Free

I have never heard this album before today. My girlfriend is a fan and owns several of her albums but this is not one of them. It's pretty standard Lana Del Rey music. No big hits that blew me away but plenty of good songs with here signature style. It's probably not something that I would listen to all the time but I enjoyed it this time around.

Am worried Lana is going to go full "trad-wife" loon, but absolutely love, love, LOVE her voice. Too soon for the list though no?

Alright but poo man’s tori Amos

Felt like I was slightly floating through this one. Didn’t mind it.

Boring.

Not a bad album by any means, just a total snooze fest. Production can't be faulted though

Generally hadn't listened to much of her work and assumed I wouldn't like it, but was pleasantly surprised.

Like another reviewer said, a bit of a one-trick-pony on this album, but it's pleasant enough and I'm glad to have given it a shot. Bumping to 4 stars because it breaks the mold of the other classic/brit/pop rock albums on the list.

Booooring. Nothing goes anywhere

Hard to put my finger on why, but this one doesn’t grab me. I was pretty bored throughout.

ever heard of versatility

One of the best albums on this list I think

7/10

Beautiful voice with haunting melodies about manic-love affairs of fantasy. I get why people like her work, but can't separate the art from the terrible morals of the artists.

Make it stop! If I was a fifteen year old girl then this might be slightly entertaining, but even then, Lana Del Rey went from Norman Fucking Rockwell! to this, in two years. And then in another two years, made A&W. It doesn’t make sense how the midpoint of those two is this concoction of faux-emotional, corner-cutting, sloppy crooning. If there wasn’t a legion of fans willing to defend her every breath, maybe this album wouldn’t be on the list (given it released less than a year before the edition was published) and, if at all, she would be included with NFR! or Ultraviolence or, well, something more culturally relevant and not as flat as this.

Lana Del Rey albums are summer listens, not autumn listens, but setting the timing aside this is still a fun album. Not my favorite of hers, but I enjoyed listening to it.

Sedating. Lana seems sweet.

Perfect rainy day album.

Wispy, soft and soporific.

Eh

Smooth listening

In the words of James Dean Bradfield, this was all surface and no feeling. I get the juxtaposition between an old time sound and modern lyrics but there is really nothing ground breaking here. Give me duck stab over this packaged beigeness everday.

Not bad, not good. Pretty meh

Do not vibe with the sad cali girl music

Had a hard time listening to full album.

Interesantno da su od svih baš ovaj uzeli😃

Not a ton of range, but boy do I enjoy this. I think on a repeat listen I could get super duper into this.

Okay but I found it got reparative and a bit whiny towards the end.

Listened to it on the drive home from Birmingham. Thais fell asleep. Music was quite chill & acousticy - chill vibes

I can hardly stand her high pitched, breathed and whining vocals. Skipped nearly every track. 1,5

Duże zaskoczenie, ale chyba nie jestem w tym jedyny. Zacznijmy od tego, że nie spodziewałem się w ogóle zobaczyć Lany w tym zestawieniu. Tym bardziej nie sądziłem, że tak mnie wciągnie ten album. Otwierające "White dress" jest przepiękne i nadaje ton całości, konsekwentnie budowanej w melancholijnej, akustycznej estetyce. Prawie każdy utwór jakoś zapisał się w mojej pamięci, a po pierwszym przesłuchaniu od razu miałem ochotę na kolejne. Kilkakrotnie ten album przywołał mi na myśl Aurorę, co jest chyba największym komplementem, jaki osobiście mogę dać wokalistce. Chwilę się wahałem, ale chyba jednak pełna pula.

I buy it. Deeply stylized music but still feels like her own. Her voice and overall mood are great. All other parts of the album are competent and quite good. It won't be 5 because it lacks this something to grasp my heart but I'm amazed with competent prodcution that builds perfectly on strong parts of the singer and never falling below some standard to distract you from good things.

It’s probably been about 15 years since I last listened to a Lana Del Rey album, and even though I’m not really a fan of her music, this was still a cool listen. It blends folk and Americana with indie pop and dream pop. The foundation is rooted in organic folk and Americana, but there’s also this nostalgic, ethereal atmosphere running through the album that brings out the dreamy, almost otherworldly element.

Great sounds, introspective lyrics, this is good music, but it’s no my cup of tea.

I've not listened to this album before. I like Lana del ray when I hear her songs. oh yes I know this first song. I enjoyed it, good sounds good stories, I will listen to all the other ones too

Trash, couldn't make it 30 seconds into any of the songs, I really tried. Same thing over and over, completely unrelatable.

Recent album from an artist I have heard of. But idk, Lana Del Rey isn’t for me.

I think Chemtrails Over The Country Club is the best song on this album and it's great.

I like Lana and absolutely think she deserves at least one spot on the list. I do not understand why this would be on here over NFR though, but it seems like the list never gets newer albums right

booooring

She’s dreamy but sharp-edged with a style that softly pulls you in and then bludgeons you

I didn’t get far. Not a fan of whisper singing.

Big No. Is ambient whining a genre now?

Schöne Stimmung, passable Songs, Yosemite ist mein Highlight.

Track 1: The line "Down at the Men In Music Business Conference" sounds like something out of a Flight of The Conchords song. I appreciate the sentiment of wishing for simpler times. Nice atmosphere. Her vocals carry the dynamics, and the instrumentation is just bedding. Makes sense given the genre, but I wish she or the instruments let rip a bit more for that final chorus. Track 2: Musically, a better attempt at what track 1 did. Better peak. Lyrically, prefer track 1. Had to confirm what this song was about and still didn't resonate much. There's probably more of a story there, but it was a bit impenetrable to me. Seemed more focused on turns of phrase. Fair enough. That drum outro wasn't interesting and served no dramatic purpose. Let the song just end. Track 3: Appreciate a bit of a tempo change. Lyrically, most interested in this one so far. Musically, solid but not super noteworthy. To the point. Get in, get out. Track 4: A simple song. Probably the simplest so far, both lyrically and musically. It's crystal clear. My favorite so far. The only one I've added to a playlist. And not just any playlist, a dear playlist. I've lived in LA. This brought me back there. I could feel that drive to escape it. To adventure away from it with the one I love. I felt the Pacific Ocean's massive presence beside me. Track 5: Good song. Again, solid. Not super noteworthy, but that's fine. Mostly, I need to go rewatch Wild At Heart now. Digging the vibe of the album, but definitely need to be in a particular mood. Track 6: Mixing it up a bit. And not only that, mixing the song itself up a bit. Nice. Almost like a prog pop song. Track 7: Maybe a better song in isolation. As the seventh track, quite underwhelming. And I'm a sucker for songs about the road and wanderlust. But the themes, vibe, and sound pallette feel like we've already explored them. The only new idea is the random production dialogue snippets. And they don't sound interesting or uplift the song in any way. Track 8: The other track to go into that dear playlist. Smoldering. Just like the campfire atmosphere. Mariee Sioux-like. Again, transports me to the forests of California. I have been to Yosemite. Been on top of Half Dome. Marveled at the Sequoias. Deer in Tuolumne. Braved the canyon traffic. But this really brought me back to those campfire reposes after a day of adventure. Being together and basking. Track 9: Not feeling this one. In a world of break-up songs, this one feels mundane. Nothing really interesting here, melody, lyrics, instrumentation, all kind of whatever. Especially coming off that last track. And unlike Track 7, I think I would feel the same were I to hear it in isolation away from the album. Least favorite. Track 10: Nope. This is my least favorite. Track 9 was boring. This one I find boring and tone deaf. What is it even about? She hangs out with her heroes. But again, fame is hard everybody. But I'll keep struggling on....while name-dropping Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Stevie Nicks, and Courtney Love. I even read she played this for Joan Baez at a dinner with her. A bit of the Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee thing here. Rich people complaining, and really about their privilege. Normally, I'm more tolerant than most. I understand that's now their perspective and they can't help it. That's the lens they have. But what is the conflict here? This song seems pointless. It might fit the album's theme and what Lana is struggling with, but the delivery doesn't land. Plus, the song isn't interesting musically. The new idea it brings with that bridge section just sounded like a flat Fiona. More Yosemites, please. Track 11: Best lyrics on the album. Well, they are Joni's and she is hard to top. Good cover. Would rather listen to Joni's. A perfect way to express exactly what I felt the last song failed at expressing. There is a way to tell a story, and express and receive sympathy when your hardships come from being in an envious position. That's your life now. Joni shows how her life has changed, but maybe she hasn't. Still sees things the same as she would before. A perfect thematic bowtie. However it may have upstaged Lana's own efforts to express the same theme. It's like closing a landscape photographer's exhibit with a picture he took of an Ansel Adams. Closing: Where Lana shines for me is in exploring place and relationship dynamics. I think she does well in a dialogue with herself explaining her relationship. In isolation of explaining herself, mixed results. Overall, I like the atmosphere of the album, but musically wasn't super impressed. More tone poem, which is fine. I like the tone. When she lands the theme of the song and the vibe, the song hits. She is the best instrument on the album. Beyond that, I remember some piano bits, but they are just doing a melody her voice will do anyway. 2 standout tracks. 1 great cover, but I credit Joni. 5 decent tracks of varying success. 1 meh. And 2 duds. Replayability feels non-existent for me except for the 2 standouts. I appreciate it. Glad I listened. Will listen to more Lana. She is now on my radar. There's enough here for me to see that she has something, but might work better for me with a different producer. But for my first Lana, this was probably a 2 out of 5. 2 is decent/good. As many problems as successes, canceling a a fair bit out, leaving behind a lot of mixed successes. Also not in a go-to genre for me, so take that into account.

Was quiet and eerie.

Not my usual jam, but actually quite like it

Utter wank. Where is the music in my album? Why is there nothing interesting going on in my eardrums? Not an ounce of talent was put into this. Boo I say.

This is #day428 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and… if this book is about albums you must hear before you die, then this one clearly isn't. I do have a sentiment toward another of her records, Ultraviolence, since it contains a song that soundtracked me and my then-future wife's relationship, but that's about it. So, not giving it a 1, I'll award an extra star for that sentiment. This is a 2 out of 5. Looking forward to #day429.

The Good: We get to visit the country club! The Bad: We don’t play golf… The Ugly: It seems that nobody does as their all stoned… I’d written an entire review on this album the day I was listening to it, yet, somehow, it seems that it did not save it… So, here’s the recap of my review in note form: Feels like I’m at a mall. Don’t want to buy anything. Not hungry either. Wanna go home and play something totally different. Nothing wrong with the voice, or production… Dimery, why the F do we need to listen to this, and countless other bland albums that really won’t make us feel better? 2 1/2* upgraded as the voice didn’t want me to hurt something...

I feel about as indifferent about this album as it seems Lana does. If I put this on as a background soundscape and treat her voice as an instrument, it's great. If I pay close attention to it, I'm as bored as she is.

It’s utterly bizarre that between the 2018 and 2021 editions of the 1001 book, this album was chosen to be part of the list and not the superior in every way, Norman Fucking Rockwell! Anyway, this album is still good. The delivery of the ‘down at the men in music business conference’ line from White Dress will never fail to make me laugh; it’s so weird, but I like it. The title track is beautiful, and finds Lana really dialing up the faux-vintage vibe she’s known for with the vinyl crackle and reverb-laden vocals. The rest of the album follows these same production cues and makes for a really solid and cohesive project. There aren’t any big out-there decisions like ten minutes of Venice Bitch, but it’s solid from beginning to end carrying on Lana’s incredibly strong run of albums.

I would do 3 1/2nif I could. Seemed weighted at the end which is nice. If she added bridges, at least for me, we would be talking 4-5 stars. Glad it was on the list.

Chemtrails Over the Country Club feels like Lana decided to ditch everything she had working towards with Lust for Life and NFR and return to the Honeymoon era of things, and like expected it is underwhelming. Underwhelming seems a bit harsh when you put it against two of my favorite Lana Del Rey projects, but the more this project went on the more I did like it, but I do wish it was more consistent for the first half of the album. The folk change is not a change I expected but came to admire more especially with the standout track Dance Till We Die, god I love that little saxophone. I am surprised at how much this album turned my feelings around and I feel like if anyone would give this a proper chance they'd agree.

This is my 417th album of my journey, and this is also the first 2020s album I've generated so far(and what I believe to be the newest album on the list). Overall, it's not too much different than her *Norman Fucking Rockwell!* album, except a little more mellow. It's not bad, and not bad to cruise around in your car listening to on a Sunday afternoon. Favorite Track: "Dance Till We Die".

I enjoyed it. But it does not have enough disparity in sound to be something I go back to. There are definitely 3 or 5 standout songs. So I give it 3.75

c'etait super

Actually liked this one. Very calming and nice background music while I worked.

Breaking Up Slowly gets me every.damn.time. Lyrically, I love the hell out of this album.

I’m not usually a Lana fan, but “breaking up slowly” and the writing on this album won me over

Taylor Swift if she made music for 16 year olds rather than 13 year olds.

It's a personal ick, her voice sound too many to me. And I can tell the difference, as on the last song Weyes Blood sings and her voice is ethereal and pleasurable

Pretty strong writing and intricate composition for what is essentially pop-ified music. It's a quandary that a lot of albums on this list (respect the more modern ones) are "worth listening to before I die" because they were enormously successful...and this influential. But, they were designed by committee to be that way. Not to say that Lana del Rey isn't a wild talent or that this album is bad. Merely to say that, if this was Wanda Del Reuben without the star power, it'd be fine. It would not be something on this list. About 30% of the albums here feel, I don't know, recursive? Self-referential in their credentialing? "See, I'm worth it! Says so because of who I am! It's on the label!" But, I just want to hear great news music I have never been exposed to. This list has also given me plenty of that. This album isn't it. Still good though. Suppose I'm just a year into this and giving every album a full listen every day is tough some days. I won't give Lana short shrift here though. Even though it's overproduced for my taste her essence still pushes through the caked on industry nonsense and kind of saves it for me. Good album.

man she's got some good vocals. its a little too sad sounding for me overall but it doesnt hinder her performance, plus its just part of her aesthetic I'm sure. Pretty good entry that gives you something to think of after its done.

Listened to this on the drive to work on my last day at a seasonal job I absolutely loved, while realizing I didn’t get the winter job I was really looking forward too, on an overcast day. Absolutely perfect conditions for Ms Del Rey’s brand of melancholic nostalgia. I’d enjoyed her earlier stuff but fell off around Ultraviolence. Holy shit was this album good! Beautifully sung, beautifully arranged. The last two songs especially blew me away. Very surreal to hear The White Stripes and Kings of Leon being mentioned nostalgically. I guess I'm back to being a Lana Del Rey fan?!?

Boring.

I had a snarky review written after the first song, but I deleted it as the album went on. This is a pretty darn samey album, but ya gotta admit that Lana Del Rey does that one thing very well. A very enjoyable listen.

Gefühlvoll zum chillen und träumen, fantastische Stimme wie Adele.

LDR walked so Billie Eilish could run. She crafts her narratives exceptionally, but musically this isn’t her best.

Not the one I would have picked. Fine, but a snoozer. 2.5.

The lyrics were interesting and she's a good story teller but the music was boring. Personal enjoyment: 2/5 Relevance to this list: 1/5

Not a fan.

It's always nice to get a recent album in the rotation, and I've been curious to listen to a whole album by Lana Del Ray (my only previous exposure has been to her much earlier song and video "Video games", which I enjoyed). It's a nice enough album, and her voice is definitely distinctive, but I was disappointed by how repetitive it feels overall. The lyrics *do* vary across the songs, although the themes of melancholy and loss seem deeply entrenched, and most of the tracks sound very similar, and also pretty similar to the cadence and style of "Video games". There are a few sparks of a somewhat different rhythm in a few tracks, primarily in "White dress" and "Dance till we die", but even there it's like a flash of color in the monochrome. (And why does she keep repeating that she was at a "business conference" so much in "White dress"?)

The only song of hers I know is "Video Games" which I really love despite its flaws. Sadly, it wasn't on this mediocre album.

Pop, melancholisch, 2021 -> 3

Svårt. Lyssnat flera gånger nu. Pendlar. En stunden gillar jag det väldigt mycket andra stunder, meh. Kräver rätt sinnesstämning. Det är vackert och stämningsfullt. Det blir nog en trea i slutändan. Men det hade lika gärna kunnat bli fyra, en annan dag.

Inte lyssnat på en hel skiva av Lana tidigare och inte hört något av denna förutom White dress vad jag kan påminna mig. Fyra låtar in var jag sjukt positivt överraskad och där var det en solklar femma för mig. Därefter tyckte jag dock att en del låtar blev något mer slätstrukna och utan samma karaktär som de inledande (även om de forfarande var bra), vilket gjorde att allt flöt samman lite. Stark fyra utan tvekan dock och glad att jag ”upptäckt” henne. Bästa låt: White dress

I like Lana

My only point of reference for Lana Del Rey before this was Norman F**ing Rockwell*, and I cannot say I liked this one as much. Chemtrails Over the Country Club has the same dreamy, atmospheric quality she is known for, but it felt a little too muted and slow for me to fully get into. The title track had some nice moments, and her voice is always strong, but a lot of the songs just blended together without much to separate them. It is more background mood than an album that grabbed my attention.

This is ok. I like two or three of her albums to include "Born to Die" much more. This isn't bad but its nothing special.

This is one that shows my glaring lack of knowledge about new music. I remember a few years ago when LDR was announced for Glastonbury there was talk that she was too pop for the festival. This was the only time I’ve ever heard of her so when this generated I was expecting something along the lines of Katy Perry or Britney. I was very wrong. I can’t really fault this. I enjoyed every song and her voice is brilliant. Maybe if I’m nitpicking, while I did enjoy every song, there isn’t that track that I absolutely love. Then again I’ve only listened to it once so something might grow on me later. Top Track - Chemtrails Over The Country Club

6/10 She belts pretty 9-23-2025

A somber and moody record. Despite it's whispered vocals and droning instrumentals, the record is still engaging and enjoyable!

Pleasant enough

Nicer than anticipated.

3.5 stars

I do like the vibes of Lana Del Rey albums. I don't seek her out very often, but if I ever want to feel like I am forlornly looking out a car window remembering the better times in life, then this (or any album from her) is a good choice.

I enjoyed this

Arrastado e enfadonho, apesar de seu instrumental caprichado, especialmente as partes vocais que soam teatralmente "melosas". Fraco!

This album is better than I thought it would be. What critics deem to monotonous has some sort of slowly dragging you in feel if you're open to it. Otherwise, it is a nice background listen. It's very American in nature with all its topics and themes which isn't something you can get me with. As a European, I know way too much about America due its cultural dominance than I know enough about some of other European countries.

I just can’t quite get into Lana’s music. She’s like the blandest parts of stuff like Lorde or Taylor Swift (that may be decisive, idk). Her voice is great but I just found the album so boring and uninteresting.

She's like a Disney princess :)

I’d been vaguely aware of Lana Del Rey for a good few years before this album came out but had never really paid her much attention, assuming her work just wasn’t aimed at me. A friend sent me a link saying, ‘Heard this? It’s quite good’. And that was all it took - from the opening few seconds I was utterly transfixed. This is an extraordinarily good record - the mood, that strained, intimate vocal delivery, the cinematic feel it conjures… It’s one of a handful of albums I’ll never tire of. An actual masterpiece.

Off the cuff remark: I saw Lana Del Rey performing Video Games live, solo, on Jools Holland and was blown away. I bought the Born to Die album and was deeply disappointed. It felt hugely overproduced. This album has a similar disappointment about it. At times I feel like an old man, "what? Speak up, I can't hear you" it's an irritation rather than being "ethereal" or something? Is it the production again? Standout track: none, really Revisit?: maybe I need to.

Unexpectedly calm

Lana Del Rey is an artist I've been thinking about listening to since her debut. She's a critic's darling, and that's usually enough for me to at least give a listen. Other than a song here or there, I've never really given her a try. This album started with what me and my girlfriend thought was the weakest song, her vocals very strained and off-putting. The next two songs were improvements, but not interesting enough other than the lyrics. Then the album kicks into a different gear (metaphorically only) with Let Me Love You Like A Woman. We both loved the song, and then the next and then the next. It was a consistent very good to great song after that. We both wish it was sequenced differently, and it might have made a close to excellent album. Ultimately an enjoyable listen and there is now a desire to listen to more of her music.

it is poetically pleasant

Toss. My barber used to love this album and I stopped going.

nice, not my thing

Overrated

The perfect end to a sad girl summer.

Dark but just a game

The way she sang the line “down at the Men In Music Business Conference” immediately made me think of Jermaine Clement singing “Team Building Exercise ‘99”. Couldn’t take it seriously from that point onwards (about 30 seconds into the opening track)

Got marginally better as it went on but was still a very long 45 minutes

Pleasant enough in the right context I suppose, but very samey, and the gym was not the right context.

Goes on a bit. Seems like she needs a drink

Don't think I've ever heard music that sounded more like fingernails being scraped down a blackboard. Had to turn it off

Pretty dull. I forgot I was listening to it at one point

Lana Del Rey is very attractive and has a great voice. Until now, I had only heard individual songs by her. Now there is a relatively new album. I am not sure why this particular album of hers appears on the list. Somehow, it was rather thin and boring. Lana Del Rey has made better recordings. 3/5

Boring

I do like Lana Del Ray and I think the opening two tracks are great - she can write a really great chorus. But then the album sort of peters out and gets a bit meh.

Chemtrails Over the Country Club I don’t really know much about Lana Del Rey, only the name and the odd song on the telly and radio, but I really enjoyed this, bits of Kate Bush, Fiona Apple and Tori Amos but with a more conventional pop style with some lovely country accents, and nice polished, atmospheric sheen. The first 5 or so songs in particular are great, White Dress builds to a lovely chorus, the title track, like many of the songs, has a nice, sombre and subdued atmosphere. Tulsa Jesus Freak is very good in a breathy, percussive way with another nice build. Let Me Love You Like a Woman is my stand out, one of those great songs that sounds like it’s always existed. Dark But Just a Game is a lovely bit of pop music with a nicely minor key shimmer to it. I like Yosemite and Dark Till We Die in the back half, the folkiness of the former and jazziness of the latter are a nice break from the prevailing sound of the album. And the cover of For Free is very good, another downcast and subdued atmosphere. It doesn’t always to vary much from the piano with country-ish guitar licks template, but it works well, it doesn’t seem to get out of 2nd gear, but it never feels like it needs to, there are enough little pop hooks and moments that stop it feeling dirge-like and it’s a very enjoyable album. Despite a bit of a tail off after the first half, there’s more than enough good stuff on it to tip it to a 4 ✈️✈️✈️✈️ Playlist submission: Let Me Love You Like a Woman

Lana Del Rey has always felt an anachronism, leaning into an imagined mid-century America — suburban housewives, surface glamour, hidden depression. It’s all a bit Great Gatsby (or Mad Men if you hate books): doomed romance and longing for a golden age that may never have existed. But, she sets her stories among ordinary people, which I like (as I do the album cover with her sitting with her mates, which speaks to a certain humility). Musically, the album is understated rather than boundary-pushing. But it closes with its strongest moment: ‘For Free,’ a Joni cover featuring the great Weyes Blood. It not only does justice to the original but also crystallises what the whole record aims for. Since Honeymoon (2015), Lana has been on a run of highly praised albums, and I'm not sure what sets this one apart particularly. I will listen to the others. When I get the chance in 2027. A very strong album. One with layers. I think a three is harsh, so it's a just-four.

I like Lana Del Rey, but this album is so similar to the sound of Norman Fucking Rockwell. Everything it does, Norman Fucking Rockwell does better. Not bad, but I don't understand how it's novel enough to make this list.

its lana

Tiene sus canciones, aun no he terminado de escucharlo. Lana del Rey tiene su estilo, todas las canciones de este album son parecidas pero cada una tiene su toque, y no me refiero a la voz languida, son los detalles en la produccion, una saturacion aqui, un overdub alla que hacen que te quedes a escucharla entera. No obstante, le doy un "tré"

I liked the last two songs. She has a beautiful voice, but most of the songs were the repetition of one phrase. Over and over and over….

The lyrics were compelling. Could listen to this album occasionally.

I get it, but I'm not into it.

background music at a funeral? ok. Otherwise, no thanks.

I had only heard Lana Del Rey on the Taylor Swift song Snow on the Beach, which I think maybe be Taylor's best song. This album grew on me. Wasn't into the singles at the beginning. I thought Wild At Heart and through the B Side was good though. Last song sounded like Laura Nyro. Good songwriting

So comforting, meloncholy. Reminds me of sad talks with my ex. Beautiful melodies

Inoffensive. Nice voice and some nice songs. Perfectly listenable but somewhat forgettable.

Her storytelling is so vivid that it almost reads as cultural criticism. It’s precise in its imagery but hard to pin down to a genre, geography, or time period. It’s the kind of music that evokes a strange patriotism in me. Not a political patriotism, but a patriotism rooted in an appreciation for the aesthetic minutiae endemic to American society. Fonts on road signs, vocal harmonies in the jingles of extinct department stores, that kind of thing.

Ok

Lana drones on about a trauma she imagines is universal, but mostly revolves around pools and sun and backyards. Sorry your ice cream melted. There’s one song near the end that features a beat and a pitch change, but it doesn’t last. The album ends with a cover of “For Free” that’s more plastic than a Chuck E. Cheese ball pit and requires the help of two others. Keep Joni’s name out your mouth, Lana.

Liked this more than I thought I would. Unique ethereal vocals and very laid back tunes. Not much in the way of a change of pace though but if slow ballads are your thing then you will prob like this more than I did

Echoes of Gillian Welch

Já ouvi muita Lana Del Rey de tabela. Da mesma maneira que já assisti episódios avulsos de Fleabag de tabela, ou que já vi filmes do Godard de tabela, ou que já li Agatha Christie de tabela. Algumas pessoas me chamariam de “performative male”, ou talvez de rodado, mas a realidade é que eu apenas gosto de me inteirar no gosto das pessoas à minha volta. De qualquer modo, o ponto é que eu sou familiarizado com boa parte do trabalho da Lana, mas mesmo assim, eu reconheci este disco apenas por seu nome quando o gerei. Não reconheci sua capa, e olhando a tracklist por cima, também não reconheci nenhuma de suas faixas. Isso já não é um bom sinal. Eu particularmente gosto de Ultraviolence, de resto, não sou tão chegado nas canções dela. De qualquer modo, dei uma chance limpa e justa para este álbum. Afinal, eu pensei, talvez eu apenas não tenha ouvido nada dele ainda pois as companhias minhas que apreciam Lana ainda não tiveram tempo de ouvi-lo! É um disco recente e tudo mais. Mas não, não é o caso. Senti uma grande preguiça emanando da performance dela. São poucas as faixas, e os momentos nestas faixas, que eu senti que ela realmente foi inventiva em seu trabalho. De resto, tudo pareceu mais do mesmo. Nada atípico, o usual. Foi entediante em grande medida. Não é um assalto aos ouvidos (com exceção da voz tenebrosa que ela faz na primeira faixa) nem nada parecido. É normal, é morno, é frango com arroz branco. Agora entendo a falta de popularidade deste disco dela comparado com seus outros lançamentos – ela tem trabalhos vastamente superiores à este. E é bem estranho que este é o único álbum dela na lista! Bem, fazer o que né. Ao menos, os momentos bons são decentemente bons, o suficiente pra tirar este álbum do limbo da mediocridade suprema (abaixo de 3 estrelas). 3.5/5

Quite enjoyed this. Relaxing without being horing.

Enjoyed this! And I suspect that she has a couple more that might be even better! Simpsons: No

I was a little bit disappointed by this. I would have just preferred listening to Summertime Sadness on repeat instead

My ex was really into Lana Del Rey. When I found out Lana married an aligator tour guide I felt I suddenly truly understood my ex. She does porn now (My ex, not Lana) oh boy was that a suprise. Anyway, the album was alright, I liked the last song but not as much as when Joni sings it.

I keep thinking I'll like her more. I dunno.

Too mopey. Could not finish.

not what i expected at all

Pretty, but damn near unlistenable. Feel like I’d have to be depressed, on heroin, and numb in a unique way to enjoy this

Fantastic album. Lana Del Rey's voice is perfect yet again, and her range is in full force here. The album starts out with a breathy falsetto, then moves into probably the catchiest song with Chemtrails over the Country Club and her signature moody chest voice. The backing music is haunting and beautiful, and Lana's lyrics and vocals carry the album.

I'm not a huge Lana del rey fan but she's got a some good songs, this was a very somber album not a terribly great album but it was pretty good!

All the songs sound the same.

Ah man, why do they do this to me. I can't help but be turned off by any album described as "Americana," mostly because if it was any actual style of music like blues, rock or something, then they'd just call it that. Dark But Just a Game is ok, probably the best track for me. The others were very forgettable. 1/5

Not very good at all. Sorry Lana, you are cute but a terrible singer

Loved this album. Knew some of the songs before and am a Lana Del Ray fan but this I was driving at night and the back half of this album was a magical, beautiful listen.

You could make the case for pretty much any other Lana album to be included - the universally loved Norman Fucking Rockwell was right there! - but Chemtrails Over the Country Club is probably the worst choice. Apart from Wild at Heart none of the songs are particularly good or even memorable, it's some of the weakest writing and I feel like even the biggest Lana defenders don't care for it. Yet another baffling entry in this project.

Kinda nice

Apple Music gives 1-5 “Essential Albums” when you get an artist search result. Lana had two Essentials, neither of which was this one. It doesn’t happen often that the 1,001 album isn’t an Essential and sometimes that ends up being cool — an overlooked gem. This isn’t one of those. Lame songs, pretentious lyrics, they sounded to me like more recent Taylor Swift eras throwaways. I listened to another of her albums awhile back and it was much better than this.

I’m familiar with a few of her albums, but I must have skipped this one. I think she’s a little of a one-trick pony, but it worked for me here.

My perfect baby

I have another hypocritical conundrum. A few days ago I had a Sinead O'Connor album and I called it slow and boring. It.was. I should by rights say the same about this? And even worse she played the diva at Glastonbury last year, turned up over half hour late and got the plug pulled pissing off everyone who waited for her. But no. There's something about LDR I like. I don't know why. She has a dreamy voice and I like her songs. And having seen her live I like her act too. She's been called in some reviews a one trick pony. But I like her trick. 4.

Some nice melodies and moments, but tooooo samey for my taste :(

Lana del rey belongs on the list of 1001 artists whose music is used for torture at guantanamo bay

Never fully listened to this album and im wondefully suprised, her voice is like heaven and each of the songs manages to bring a unique sound that keeps me hooked. Very excited to listen again.

Kinda interesting we've recently gotten 3 different modern albums in this female pop-singer/songwriter genre (Lorde, T Swift, and now Lana) all having the same producer, this Jack Antonoff guy. This album has a similar vibe to those other 2, but certainly closer to Taylor's Evermore. I'm no expert on Lana, but I really found the first couple of songs off-putting with the breathy singing. The vocals improved a lot in the middle section of this album with my favorite songs being Let Me Love You Like A Woman and Wild At Heart. I also enjoyed the simplicity of Yosemite. I would grade this similar to Evermore: solid album, but probably a bit too melancholy and lacks a true hit. High 3.

Well damn... had a review written, but my computer took a shit before I saved. Of the more recent Lana albums, I'm surprised to find this one on the list. While this is a fine enough album it lacks the punch of its immediate predecessor, Norman Fucking Rockwell! Between the two albums I'd say there is a decent amount of stylistic overlap, but NFR takes the cake in terms of end-to-end execution. Easily one of the top 10 albums put out in the past decade. I'll say that listening through this album again today I am taken again by its simple beauty. Many songs are rooted around a simple piano line and rely on vocal layering and effects to great effect. White Dress with simple breathy, whispered vocals; Let Me Love You Like A Woman with its ghostly echo layering... And while I enjoy this as a whole, it certainly loses steam and my attention through the back half. Favorites on here are the title track, Let Me Love You Like A Woman, and Tulsa Jesus Freak. Enjoyed the listen as always, but as always, I'm left longing for the magic that is NFR. Here's to hoping that that album gets a deserving place on this list. For now, this is a soft 4 to my ears.

Pretty solid for singer songwriter

Our most recent album so far! First song started off really weird with some super breathy singing which I hated. Album got much better with actual singing and some beautiful instrumentals. Very enjoyable album after the first song, a lower 4 probably. Bonus note for that random song that had a big bass drop which was completely unexpected

I feel like I should like Lana but every time I listen to her I get bored out of my mind. A few songs in and no different. Although I'm really enjoying Dark But Just a Game is a standout. Dance Till We Die is also very fun.

Weirdly listenable to.

Lana tops the list, her ethereal soulful music that just hits your soul in a way never before

Lana Del Rey: Chemtrails Over The Country Club: More chill than the pop I usually like, but honestly this is a pretty good album. The songs are pretty cool, relaxing, yet emotional, and very well composed. Her voice is beautiful, which helps a lot. Could use some variety or a little more energy, but I enjoyed this. 8.25/10

I'm generally not really into rap, but this is some great stuff.

No sé por qué no soy más fan o me aplico más a escuchar a Lana Del Rey. Todos los discos que le he escuchado me han gustado mucho, y éste, que nunca había oído, no fue la excepción. Esta voz como que sexy pero también ahuevada y depresiva me parece genial y hace que conecte mucho con sus temas. Me voy a poner más en orden, ahora quiero verla en concierto.

lana del not slay

Was going to go 3 stars because, though not my taste, I can respect the art. But the longer I listened, the less I admired it. Only exception is the duet because it at least added some variety of sound.

Beige music. Absolutely terrible

I love Lana, my personal favourites are NFR and Did You know there's a tunnel under ocean boulevard, which I hope gets added in latter additions.

My first Lana album. Thought it was a concept album at first. Heartful singing and stories. Good for a quiet, introspective night. Would try more of her stuff.

Very calm and lots of interesting whisper type singing (annoying??)

My kid is super into this album, this artist: the drama, the persona, the lyrics. So it was kind of fun to give it a listen. She has her lane and she knows what she is doing and she is super good at it. Her work is so American in this alt-pop unsettling nostalgic way that seems so different from the nostalgia for American that is so rife right now and unsettling for very different reasons. Very solid.

Wow she has some pipes. Each song was challenging, I was either inspired by the sparseness of the production, then the over production, then a line would catch me by surprise. I see why this so talked about. Unfortunately not for me.

Oh I really loved this. I’ve listened to plenty of her songs but had not made my way through a whole album. The songs are gorgeous and often moving (you can hear the Jack Antonoff of it) but avoid the obvious pop choices for more surprising ones.

Haunting vocals and great instrumentals but mostly boring lyricism and not a catchy hook in earshot

I liked that I heard some new sounds. Lana's high pitched squealing vocals are something I would try to imitate haha. Would I listen again? Yes but it wasn't that memorable for me. Dark but just a game was a good song.

Not the best, mellow but bland

I didn't really care for the whispery breathy style of singing, and wondered if I was going to get through the album during the 1st song. None of the songs really captured my attention.

Same with Lana. I respect her music and what she brings but her stuff is too soft and slow for me.

Wow, is Lana Del Rey my new favorite artist? She’s thoughtful and honest in her delivery and always seems to know exactly where the song should go. I love the embrace of pop beats as well.

Slow arranged songs.

"Chemtrails Over The Country Club" is quite a young album, 4 years old as I write, and it is not an immediate album when you first listen to it. You have to want to listen to Lana Del Rey. For new comers or casual listeners of Lana Del Rey I would recommend "Norman Fu*cking Roswell" or "Ultraviolence". The latter album especially if you a fan of Rock music. "Chemtrails Over The Country Club" was the release after "Norman Fu*cking Roswell" and is a departure from the sound and style of that album. It is a much more subtle listening experience, lush sounding, atmospheric and introverted. Beautiful. It is a very good album, that provides a consistent and rewarding listening experience, but only after a few listens. 4⭐ Would I listen to this album again? Yes. Would I buy this album? I did. 1 "White Dress" - Lovely opening song. High, breathy vocals, delicate and vulnerable. - 5 2 "Chemtrails over the Country Club" - Lush melodies coupled with Lana Del Rey’s melancholic voice. It has a soaring chorus. It sounds great. - 5 3 "Tulsa Jesus Freak" - 4 4 "Let Me Love You like a Woman" - 4 5 "Wild at Heart" - Great orchestrations, beautifully sung. Wonderful chorus, that builds dramatically. - 5 6 "Dark but Just a Game" - 4 7 "Not All Who Wander Are Lost" - 4 8 "Yosemite" - I really like this song. The chorus is great. Lush harmonies. - 5 9 "Breaking Up Slowly" - 4 10 "Dance Till We Die" - 4 11 "For Free" - 4 Total - 48 Average - 4.36

Snore

Enjoyable with some really interesting melodies, falls short of her best work and white dress is irritating as

Another nice voice, but not really my kind of music.

She’s got a beautiful voice, no doubt about that... But absolutely nothing else happens in this album. I could barely finish. It’s the kind of bland, inoffensive music that coffee shop chains play in the background while hip customers pretend to work on their laptop. I listened at home, and by the end of the album I tried to order coffee from my wife. She was not pleased. Thanks, Lana. I'm still rating it a 2* for her voice. Now someone please give the lady some real music to sing to...

Boxer is my favorite my far, but this is

I remember falling in love with Born To Die when that came out. I listened to it so many times, yet surprisingly never got round to listening to Chantal’s Over The Country Club until now. And what a beautiful album it is. It is very much in the same vain, but that works just fine for me. Lana’s voice is so pretty - both in the higher and lower registers. And the switch between these voices is faultless. This will definitely get many more listens from me.

Lana Del Rey seems very talented but Jesus this was a boring album

Boring depressing trash. Half the songs have the same three piano chords.

I like the almost ambient, distant feel of the instrumentation on most of these tracks. Said features prime the listener into this odd state of depressed nostalgia that I can’t say I’ve experienced elsewhere. Lana’s vocals are easy on the ears too, barring a few choice moments on the album’s opener, “White Dress,” which I still enjoy more than I don’t. Still, the instrumental mixing I mentioned earlier, while hypnotic in its opening, undeniably well-produced and enjoyable, goes on to become the albums greatest burden as tracks blend together into a much less impactful mush near the center. For how it seems, certain tracks are positioned in the album to break up the repetitive sound, and they work to an extent, but still, the sheer amount of similar arrangements on offer cheapens the impact of the experience as a whole. In my opinion, this album would benefit greatly from a bit of trimming, as this kind of repetition is better served on an EP than a full release. 3.5

Heel nice

Can a white girl just be a little bit sad

Snooze fest

I’m a Lana fan, but this is one of her more boring albums. I like the duet with Weyes Blood though.

Smooth

Great LDR vocals

I wasn't really into this. There were maybe a few moments where a song caught my ear, but overall it's a style that I just didn't care for. It's interesting that it's considered a folk/Americana album. Lyrically I think that makes a kind of sense, but it mostly just sounded like a pop album to me, though maybe a bit more on the gloomier side. Many songs struck me very much as "I can hear this as background music for a contemporary dance piece on So You Think You Can Dance." 2.4/5

Here's an artist name I hear all the time without ever knowing what she sounds like. I assumed it would be much more poppy than it was. I actually thought this was quite lovely and more in-line with something like Joni Mitchell or Carole King. I like this. 3.66/5

Melancholic voice in every song, but a solid album

Me encantaron los arreglos musicales. Tengo sentimientos encontrados con el canto, a veces se escucha como si cantara con la boca anestesiada... pero igual se va con 5 estrellas 🌟

Siento que tenía todo para que me gustara, pero no pasó nada. Tal vez me faltó tomarme un café antes de escuchar este disco, tal vez era de esos discos que suenan ricos cuando los pones de fondo mientras estás conversando con tus amigos, tal vez el summer time sadness que tenía en mente cuando apreté play nunca llegó.
