Chemtrails Over The Country Club

Enjoyable.

It's fine. I don't really see myself seeking it out.

Perfectly acceptable and inoffensive, i thought her voice was going to be annoying, but it turned out well.

I was not expecting something from 2021 to be on this list. I enjoyed this record. The songwriting and storytelling were excellent, and I enjoyed Lana's emotionally charged vocal delivery. I did have a few gripes with this project. I feel like the general sound in this record felt a little bland. At times, it felt like some songs were too similar to others. Favourite Track(s): Chemtrails Over the Country Club, Breaking Up Slowly Least Favourite Track(s): Tulsa Jesus Freak

I don't think it is essential, and some of the lyrics are kind of cringe-y, but the melodies and production are great and overall it is a good album.

Good album. top quality vocals in White Dress.

3 - It was pleasant, not much else to say tbh

Fine - Lana Del Rey sounding Lana Del Rey record. 3.4/5

I’m fine with Lana’s inclusion in the list, but this album was a strange choice when NFR was right there

Pleasant enough songs with some clever songwriting. It’s just not really for me, there isn’t a ton of variation in sound throughout and ends up sounding like different strories with similar themes and the same tones. It’s a fine enough album just like toast with a little butter is a fine enough snack. 3 stars

A good album, but nothing to write home about. Classic Lana Del Ray trying to make me feel sad and stuff. Good overall but nothing that stood out to me personally.

I like Lana Del Rey. She's got an amazing voice and some great songs. But I like her in smaller doses. An entire album of sadcore is too much for me. Still, I like this one a lot as it's less alt-pop than her other albums.

My previous commentary on this was wiped out, but for those complaining about an album this current making it on the list, I wanted to let you know that it is not, nor has it ever been on the official list this site is pulling from. I'm guessing it's the people on this site taking some creative liberty. That said, this album is fine although a little flat as far as variety goes. Every song sounds pretty much the same as the last but they're still good songs, they just get a little tiresome over a full albums worth.

걍뭐

is this the only Lana album on the list? feels like NFR or Born to Die should have been the pick…

Not the best Lana, but there's so many clever lyrics and aching melancholy. Love the Joni Mitchell cover. A high 3.

I’m familiar with a few of her songs and I generally like her, but it does seem like she’s a bit of a one trick pony. It’s overall a good album, but a little more variety would up it for me. It’s also a weird inclusion because the album was brand new when it was included. I personally hold the opinion that nothing that’s less than 5 years old should be included in a list such as this. Sometimes things that seem great fade into obscurity and something obscure rises in prominence. Chemtrails was only a few months old when the 2021 book came out.

Very talented singer was okay can understand why she’s popular not necessarily my thing

Ehhhh

Another fine lyricist with interesting music. This is a good album but not as interesting as Born to Die. The main issue I have is that Lana Del Rey tends to sing in a high register quite a bit and there is a certain sameness to that form that pervades many of her songs and albums.

Some really great songs on here but the album as a whole was kind of boring.

Music for the worst girl you know Pretty good though

Born to Die is a 10/10 for me so I was excited to dive deeper into Lana’s catalog. I’m sorry to say that this album didn’t do much for me.

Pretty standard Lana, very airy vocals, nothing really stood out to me like NFR

J - 3/5 Best Track - "Chemtrails Over The Country Club" F - 3/5 Best Track - "Wild At Heart"

Atmosphere and mood has so much to do with music. How am I feeling when I listen? Where am I as I listen? What time of day do I listen? Who am I with when I listen? Am I hungry? Tired? I listened to this on my porch at night with my wife after a meal and a long day. It was nice. Will I listen again? Probably not. The whisper singing that Billie Eilish popularized really do it for me, but you can hear the professionalism in the production - so clean.

Some eerie magic in Lana’s style

I like Lana's earlier work (the beats and samples, and the 40's style vocals), but this album was a little too mellow / monotone / boring. The title song is probably the best one, but nothing really stood out.

Waffled on a 3 or 4 on this one. But other people in my group have said Del Ray has better, earlier albums. So, I'll go with 3 here. But this was interesting enough that I want to check out the rest of her catalog.

It's a bit bemusing how the critics fall over themselves over Lana's late career output. I don't know if it's the vaguely Americana themes, the fact that she's conventially pretty & safely white, or how often her songs intimate weird sugar daddy dynamics. Maybe it's all those things. I think Lana's talented. Born to Die is an amazing album filled with angsty up and down tempo tracks. At the time it came out, it didn't sound like anything else in the pop landscape. But Lana seems to have taken herself increasingly seriously with each subsequent album, with all of that pop sensibility fading away for more of a chanteuse-who-swears vibe. The songs aren't bad, but they do all start to sound the same. I'd be happier with fewer, better albums than the yearly drop of valium-influenced ballads that sadly seems to have become Lana's norm.

-just in time, I got quite a bit into Lana Del Rey last month. her voice never fails to affect me emotionally in a unique way pretty much no other artist has -I hadn’t heard this one before. it’s pretty good, not necessarily her strongest work imo so I’m surprised it’s the token Lana album on here but there are some REALLY good standouts on here. elegant and beautiful -Favorites are White Dress, Tulsa Jesus Freak, and Wild At Heart

I liked it, for the first song. Then it kept being the same thing for each song. I don’t think I’ll ever revisit this album, but I will probably enjoy it whenever a song comes up in my random playlist.

A bit repetitive but a nice slice of Americana. LDR is the inverse Chappell Roan. 3.5

I think is good! First Lana Del Rey album for me. She reminds me of BANKS and I love BANKS.

Probably not one of her very best, this has a very classic Lana dreamlike feel that developed in her music over the last handful of years. This one feels like each song is kind of the same, flowing into one another. Not bad, but not her best work.

Still Lana, so it still has some great instrumentals & vocals, & is still enjoyable, but it definitely sounds very... bog standard for her, nothing really made it standout from the others, it's just another Lana album.

NFR! but not as good. I don't think it really gets going until Let Me Love You Like A Woman. Wild At Heart and Breaking Up Slowly are the standouts in my opinion. Why this is the album on this list rather than Norman Rockwell I have no idea. This is fine, but that's excellent. Go listen to that. 3 Stars.

there’s better lana albums but this was decent

видимо слушала его в рамках топ-альбомов 2021. всё ещё не научилась отличать песни Ланы (хотя уайт дресс и кемтрейлз наверно узнаю... с полпесни...). респект ей что поёт по нотам! стиль и композиторство её не совсем для меня

My problem with Lana continues to be that she's a one trick pony. She writes sad, haunting ballads and she writes them well. But it's all she writes. You know exactly what you're in for when you listen to a Lana album. If you're into it, it won't disappoint but, if you're not, you're going to get bored quickly. She needs to understand that she'll never top Video Games in the genre of sad, haunting ballad. Everything else falls short. Move on, Lana. Make a synth pop album.

I know there's something there, at least talent wise, but I can't get past her low volume, whispery, bored out of her mind, crooner-style that somehow built her career around. Her vocal delivery reminds me of when I used to do some late night self-recording in the basement when my parents were asleep and couldn't actually sing full volume. I'm Somewhat surprised this is her 6th album already and wonder why this album released in 2021, is a "must hear"? I admit, I don't mind it, but really essential music should have more impact and something special to it over a random song on the radio.

All of the songs sound the same to me.. they are pretty, but they are all sad.

Buen disco, aunque sus arreglos me parecen muy recargados al final.

Atmosphère à la Mazzy Star très sympa.

Sad girl music. I like LDR but this isn't the album I would have chosen, probably by 4th favourite. High 3

Great album, but a but too much of the same thing. Something for a quiet evening...

Fucking finally something i think i would enjoy and past 2020s In the first song at 2:30 she just mumbled the lyrics(Down at the men in music business conference) so fast so she can keep up idk made me laugh. would understand that in the that song Im Too Missy. But here was funny. ok and she did it multiple times ok. How didn't i find this in my pretty sad girls songs era. its amazing. I love her voice. I forgot to write a review or anything i just enjoyed it... Ok i enjoyed it sank yoh. but its a 3 cuz i have grown up from this taste see yooh

I remember Lana got heat for this album title when it came out, but I think it's elite. She's forever been a one-album artist for me, but that one album (Norman Fucking Rockwell) is a defining record of the 2010s, and has the decade's best song (The Greatest). So it's a bit odd that I didn't even bother listening to this when it came out? Unfortunately, I don't think it recaptures what made NFR so great, as a true lightning-in-a-bottle product, but it does have a lot of merit, particularly at the start (even if there are some vocal choices in White Dress that are completely baffling). Happy enough to have heard this, but it's not going on any kind of rotation.

It was okay. A little homogenous. Hard to tell one song from the next. Lyrically strong.

Very beautiful voice but the track list isnt very memorable. Is this even her best album?

There's definitely a couple songs on here that I see myself returning to. Really nailed that slow, chilled mood

Voice a bit too high and broken for me v

Was looking forward to listening to this so I could see the reasoning why Lana Del Rey has such an obsessive fanbase....failed to see why. It wasn't terrible, but nothing that deserves the praise she gets. Admittedly, I'm not a huge fan of music where vocals are the main draw and the instrumentals are the afterthought, but artists like Adele and Beyonce I GET the worship. All this being said, I wouldn't say this is 1 or 2 star worthy. Just meh.

Automatic point deduction for buying into and propagating the Chemtrails conspiracy theory. Shame, this album had some songs way better than wha I expected from the creator of the awful 'Video Games' and 'Summertime Sadness'

Sad white girl music - this is what I wanted Tortured Poets Department to be.

Starts off nice enough but soon gets a bit tedious. Sickly sweet and depressed, and I say that as a Radiohead fan.

She is a slightly better Taylor Swift, which is not much

It's way better than I was expecting. I just know the abstruse lyrics of Lana del Ray's National Anthem which is just... Let's say: naive. And didn't age well, by the way. This, however, is actually poetic. And I like it musically.

The title track is very sweet, I recall hearing it before and I added it to my playlist. The rest of the album dragged on a bit but it was more or less enjoyable.

I want to like Lana Del Rey more than I actually do. She's spooky, moody, sexy...I'm just not the biggest fan of her music.

Lana Del Ehhhh. I don't dislike this enough to drop it down to a 2 but I was disappointed. I don't really enjoy the whispery, ethereal style she's using here; she sings like a ghost that hasn't realized it's dead yet. Downatthemeninmusicbusinessconference...

I have a love/ hate relationship with this album. On one hand it is really special and great. On the other it is simply overproduced. I want so badly to hear these voices just real. Warts and all. One of my close friends is a sound engineer. I am amazed by what he does, and I like when people do some tweaking -- of course! But every song... I felt the auto tune and the just oversampling and the ... no. Nope. It felt commercial and fake. I KNOW it could have been so much more intimate and special that THAT is what bothers me so much here. Even so, I won't bash it completely. I don't blame the musicians themselves or the songwriting (that is for sure!).

Good album. Not great. A little different.

Decent, not really much else to say

6.7/10

Nice enough. this whole Chappel Roan Sabrina carpnter Lana Del Ray things bleeds together for me

Pretty good, she has 3 better albums than this though

If I listened to it a couple more times I’d bet it’d be a 4 star

liked this far more than I expected

Schöne Stimme in einem sehr ausgewogenem Album. Die Texte sind klar und melodisch unterlegt. Dem Album fehlen aber magische Momente um es über einem guten Durchschnitt bewerten zu können. Bester Song ist „Let Me Love you Like A Woman“. In „Not All Who Wander Are Lost“ lässt die Interpretin Ihre phänomenale hohe Stimme aufblitzen.

It's decent but it's the wrong Lana album on this list. Ultraviolence should be on here. That said, a good listen.

Aivan liian tuotettu, jonkin verran täytettä. Melodisesti aika tasaisen hyvä, jopa uskalias (kuten avausbiisissä). En tule kuuntelemaan tätä kokeakseni suuria tai haikeita tunteita, mutta arvostan koukkuja siinä missä kuka tahansa pop-kuluttaja, ja niitä artisti on jaksanut miettiä.

Haven’t listened born to die and it’s about the same for me.

should be called Chemtrails over the water park considering all the watery reverb on this thing. is that funny?? idk i just have nothing to say about this album... i guess thats just what happens when you get jack antonoff as your only producer for your pop album. it turns out very clean, to a fault. songwritings pretty good though

I liked her music 15 years ago and somehow I still like it. I needed two session to get it but then I really enjoyed it.

It's alright. But I don't know if it is even the best album from her. It will probably and rightfully be removed in future editions

This wasn't bad. Very ethereal and dreamy sounding kind of album. Definitely some chill vibes going on here. I didn't hate it, but it did not help motivate me this morning to be productive in any way. It just made me want to crawl back into bed and go to sleep.

A few good songs on this one. Lots of repetitive lyrics that are rife with cliches. Tulsa Jesus Freak was my favorite song.

# Album Name: Chemtrails Over The Country Club # Artist: Lana Del Ray # Rating: 3/5 # Comments: Lana has a lovely singing voice. Its very nice. Theres a couple of decent tracks on this album like white dress, Chemtrails over the country club and wild at heart. But overall, its very samey. Its a pretty average album. Definitely should not be on the list if im honest. # Top Tunes: white dress, Chemtrails over the country club and wild at heart # Would I listen to it again? No. A couple of tracks maybe but thats it.

Don’t even think this is her best album, but it’s solid bedroom pop. A little drawn out at times and less innovative than some of her other albums.

All the songs kind of sounded the same, people love her but never really got it. Doesn't help thay she created the firdt nepo daddy. Still decent though. Low 3.

Really rode the line between having a nice chill vibe and just being boring. There were a couple songs where it broke out of the quiet formula and they were quite good, just not enough of that.

Nun ja. Geht so.

It’s pretty good. I like the style, the atmosphere and her voice. I just don’t quite get why such a new album is on this list

Decent and holds up well.

A bit boring, but I like her voice. 3/5

I love her voice, but this album isn't her best - not sure whether we've got Norman Fucking Rockwell to come, but that's much better than this, there's more variety and it does better to bring out the haunting floatiness in her voice. Perfectly fine, but not sure why this one is on the list. 3/5.

This falls more on the pop side than the folk side. I enjoyed more than I thought. It's one of the more interesting Jack Antonoff produced albums I heard. I really liked the Joni Mitchell-esque track For Free with Weyes Blood.

She has a very nice voice, the music is perfect for the tone and well arranged and played. Everything really works… except the lyrics just don’t do much for me. That’s more of an observation than a critique.

I like her voice. I don't know if this is any better then her other albums I've listened to.

I've never listened to any Lana Del Ray before, but I thought this was perfectly fine. I'm not sure it's good enough to be on the list, but I had no problem with it at all.

Not so bad

Странный выбор её альбома. Это приличный альбом, но точно не самый интересный, и уж точно не лучший в её каталоге. Norman Fucking Rockwell лучше до, Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd лучше после, и собственно говоря очень удивительно, в какой бы момент времени этот альбом ни был добавлен. Лучшая песня - Chemtrails Over the Country Club.

Me gusta este disco, pero creo que es mejor NFR

Generalnie nie jest to zły album, ale bardzo jednostajny. Taka typowa Lana. 3/5

3/5

That's not my taste in music. But ok.

I always feel like I’m going to like Lana Del Rey more than I do And I do like this but not enough to really want to listen to it again

None of these songs were really in a style I like. Too slow, rambling, not really got a pulse or going anywhere. Her voice is clearly amazing though, and there were a couple which I enjoyed more than just 'meh'. Top songs: White dress Breaking up slowly Worst songs: All the others

A good listen

Fiona Apple meets Taylor Swift

6/10 Very samey. She is talented but needs more flavour Favourite Song=Wild at Heart Least Favourite Song=For Free

Very chill music, and pleasant to listen to. Some beautiful songs but everything is also quite similar.

Dark But Just a Game slaps hard.3/5

Decent album, kinda folky and dreamy. Not as up-beat and pop-y as some of her other stuff.

I really like Lana Del Ray, but this album isn't nearly as good as her Born to Die album. Love her voice and singing style.

Slightly more imaginative than the other Lana albums I've listened to. Lovely voice.

If Thom Yorke was sexy and wanted to write a pop album, this would be it. An interesting translation of music I'm more familiar with finding its' way through the channels to be pop. Its' dark tone definitely helped catalyze similar minimal pop albums and artists in recent years.

Lana Del Rey seems to get stronger for me with each passing day

Kaunis ääni ja tunnelmallinen. Ehkä turhankin toisteinen ja vuoden 2021 levy vähän yllättävä nosto tällaiselle listalle. En puolesta enkä vastaan.

Sad girl pop, chaotic and beautiful. Very Joni sounding, with odd timing on the vocal delivery and some interesting, soft melodies. I didn’t fully connect with it, but can appreciate the artistry.

Lowk mid

Listened to this while playing Isofarian Guard. This album title is so Lana, it is almost a caricature. I really enjoyed her debut album...it hit me in all the feels. This, while enjoyable, would not be the album I'd suggest people start with...

OK.

excited to see what all the tumblr throwback girlies are so excited about. Her voice always reminds me of Baz Luhrmann's 2013 Gatsby. A great choice for a Daisy song White Dress: I love how she says Business Conference. I'm going to start saying it like that whenever I go to a Business Conference Chemtrails Over the Country Club: being at a country club is not a universal experience. just throwing in some astrology for good measure, thanks Lana Tulsa Jesus Freak: this feels slightly more funky than the last two. well, the chorus does Let Me Love You like a Woman: is this about toxic masculinity? men not wanting to be seen doing feminine things, including in the way they're loved? or is this about Lana feeling like she's not able to do what she wants to do? or is this queer longing - but longing to be queer. much to think about Wild at Heart: god she's obsessed with romanticising cigarettes. better than vaping though I guess. Big I'm not like other girls energy Dark but Just a Game: hmm. not my favourite Not All Who Wander Are Lost: such a boring song title. Very 2012. Yosemite: When I was young I used to pronounce this as Yose-mite. Unconvinced by her high notes here, her lower register is much nicer Breaking Up Slowly: girlie we've all been there. Her sudden country twang is a bit jarring after the rest of the album Dance Till We Die: this is fine For Free: sounds like she's having a nice life. wild that she made school have two syllables - very Invernesian. their voices all sound nice together and that's lovely. delighted that Lana is married to an alligator tour guide now, it's so rogue but I'm so into it. Never mind just found out he's a bigot. Not massively surprised Overall I'm feeling like this album would be a good choice for a big sad nighttime walk. It's produced well, but isn't the most exciting album ever. last song was lovely though

You know what, it really wasn’t as bad as people are saying it is. I don’t know if it’s because of some complex music listeners have where anything released after 2000 is terrible, but this really wasn’t bad. Gives off vibes of Taylor Swifts Evermore and Folklore, her best albums, obviously. It’s slow and calm, and yet moving. Still, it’s not that great. Perhaps, it may be a little too slow. I don’t know it’s not really my style. But still, it’s… not bad. Whatever.

My only complaint is how monolithic this whole thing sounds. It's just 11 bricks that came out of the same block of stone.

Ethereal and strange, but I kind of liked it.

she has a nice voice when she isn't doing all that "breathy" stuff. Tracks all seem to have the same slow tempo and structure, gets a bit boring after a while, could do with a few more upbeat tracks. As a singer/songwriter she is ok at telling little stories but she hasn't got any 'hooks' in her songs that make them memorable. I get a sense of disappointment that it could be so much more. Favourite tracks were 'Dark but just a game' and 'Breaking up slowly'. with 'For free' also standing out but this latter is a Joni Mitchell song and she did it better in 1970, in fact this last track only leads you to compare with Joni and I'm afraid the latter wins, even after 50 years - listen to 'Ladies of the Canyon'. All-in-all a nice album but too "samey" and fairs poorly in comparison with Joni Mitchell.

First time listening to Lana Del Rey. Music made for cinematic moments. Music made for music videos. Gatsby. High school. A long drive alone smoking a cigarette. As much as I hate this niche, the production is so great and her voice is so perfect I can’t help but vibe out to some of these tracks. I get her now. Soaring vocals way up there with a mix of fuzzy Americana and buttery synths below. This is the shit I ate up in high school, and although I’m 10 years removed from high school, I liked getting sent back to it by this album. A nostalgia for a such a ripe time, when you’re doing so much for the first time, and smoking weed which makes everything feel the first time! At times the writing on this album is so trite and crummy I want to skip, but it’s held together by excellent, production that made me feel closer to heaven. Fav track: tulsa jesus freak

Soft, mellow and dreamy. Lana Del Ray has a nice voice but little range. The songs all sound very similar to the point that I mistook the first 3 songs ("White Dress", "Chemtrails over the Country Club" and "Tulsa Jesus Freak") as the same song. I enjoyed "Let Me Love You like a Woman" and "Wild at Heart". The rest of the album was just okay. Not enough variety for me to revisit this particular album.

Slow and sad...kind of a bummer tbh

It’s fine but just sounds like NFR! leftovers. Why did this make the list over NFR!? I’m gonna go listen to NFR!

3,5 Stars

As of this review, this is the most recent album to feature in the list, at least until a new version of the book is published. Recency bias is hard to overcome. It's definitely a good album. Is it a great one? Arguably. Deserving of a spot on the list? I'm not sure. I suppose Lana Del Ray was a big name in music for a while and should feature somewhere, so why not 'Chemtrails Over the Country Club'? It's a nicely done, bittersweet singer-songwriter affair. It evokes feelings of rainless clouds covering an otherwise beautiful country scene, echoing the lyrics of beauty and loss. I nice surprise is the guest spot by Jackie-O-Motherfucker singer, Weyes Blood. Though frankly, I might have preferred one by her instead. Note to the author, 'Titanic Rising' would be a great addition in the next edition of the book. Until then, Lana Del Ray has been a lovely, melancholy listen.

Chemtrails Over The Country Club - Lana Del Rey (2021) Monótono. O disco em questão é bem monótono, as músicas seguem mais ou menos a mesma ideia de piano e voz, e vez ou outro tem algum instrumental mais elaborado, acredito que entre os discos da Lana Del Rey ele não seja o melhor, ou o top 3. Ele é médio. Melhores músicas: Tulsa Jesus Freak, Dark But Just A Game, Not All Who Wander Are Lost, Breaking Up Slowly (part. Nikki Lane) Piores músicas: N/A 2,5/5

I guess not bad for a privileged gen z Patsy Cline. Sounds nice and lush and a bit like artificial empathy.

Qualcosa di carino, ma mi aspettavo meglio. Però "Dark but just a game" non male.

Lana Del Rey has a very pretty voice, and I know she is capable of creating some great musical pieces that play into her strengths. However, this album feels like it misses most of those. It stars songs that go on too long and do very little to change, so unless you enjoy some waxing poetic lyrics over somber, subtly country instrumentals, you are best to look elsewhere for your pop-coated Americana. It's innocent enough, and if you like this you'll probably like most of Lana's catalog, but it's mostly just okay with moments that hint at something more; something... on a different album.

I haven't been the biggest fan of Del Rey in the past. But I actually enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Her voice did not annoy me nearly as much as I was expecting.

I hear this is not the LDR that should be on her, but who knows. It's ok, there are real songs under all the occasionally annoying vocal affectation. I like the opener just cause its kinda storytelling with some cool choices/focus

I'll give it credit where its due. It's a lot better than I was expecting. I liked the musical arrangement and instrumentation. With that said, I'm not sure if this is worthy of being on the 1001 album you must listen to before dying list...especially for an album released in 2021.

The "Down-at-the-men-in-music-business-conference" line from "White Dress" is such a funny phrasing. Otherwise, Pretty nice chill vibe. I like LDR.

It's pretty nice and she is very talented. Left me wanting more!

pretty good

Alt for mye hvisking, og dramatikk

Some good moments but not her finest moment overall. Some songs go on too long and there is a sameness as the album progresses. The previous album would be a much more worthy addition to the list. Good not great.

Honestly, Norman Fucking Rockwell! should be the Lana Del Rey album on this list. None other. By a long shot. That said... listening to this album again made me appreciate it a bit more than I did previously. There isn't a bad song on this, and it's impressive to se her development as a songwriter. However. There were too many times here when a decision was made to never go beyond a very tame mid-tempo at best. And given the production and instrumentation is pretty much identical on all songs, it's an album that easily sort of drifts into the background, and at some point you realise it's over. Which is a pity, because there are some great songs here.

I don’t typically enjoy Lana albums. Never liked the style she sings in or many of the musical choices she makes, either with writing, production, etc. Not that any of its bad, was just never my thing. I did enjoy this one, however. More than I thought, at least. Not too memorable, but it was nice and listenable. 3/5

strong tfw no gf vibes. would listen again but only when cuddling in such a scenario. a few songs I found really good though

Very one note but no more so than half the other albums on here. At points I thought it was going to change gear with some of the collab but Lana is just doing the same old thing.

The vocal choice takes some getting used to. Musically it isn't bad. I just don't really want to listen to 45 minutes of drab. The lyrics were a little weak except for the Joni Mitchell cover. Which also was probably the best song.

Melancholy, contemplative pop. Very soulful voice

Usually I like Lana Del Rey but this one was a bit underwhelming. I did enjoy it for the most part though.

Not my fav Lana.

It was all right. The songs all sounded pretty similar, but it wasn't a bad sound.

Good album Standout songs: Chemtrails over the country club Wild at heart Breaking up Slowly

Lana tends to horrifically bore me, but this is my favorite of hers so far. 2.5/5

I'm not a massive Lane Del Rey fan or anything but I've heard maybe 3 other albums and I liked them all. This is nice but less impactful on me than those at first listen. I suspect I'd get more into it if/when I listen again

Not a fan of Lana Del Ray's voice, and the songs were too trippy/dreamy to hold my attention.

Cool title - but music was just OK. Coffee house music. Heavy Joni influence that just doesn't catch.

There’s nothing wrong with it but also nothing right about it. Completely lacks any real feel. I think I fell asleep and then woke up to find the same track still playing. Sad indictment of modern day stuff that purports to be music. And Lana is one of the better ones.

You know what, I don't really get Lana Del Ray or what is interesting about her. She has this like mellow chanteuse vintage sound, but I just generally don't vibe like that.

Rating: 6/10 Pleasant to listen to but overall too long and boring.

Für mich erstaunlich viel Tiefe in den Texten und Komplexität im Gesang. Nett anzuhören.

It was pretty good, I liked the piano and building. Her vocal layering sounded nice and she has nice voice, though it could be annoying at time. Favorite song: Chemtrails Over The Country Club

A bunch of lazy ballads, with kind of juvenile lyricism. She's not bad, but I mean, if you've heard one you've heard them all. Stand-out: Wild At Heart

Een dame die prima liedjes in elkaar draait en prima kan zingen, maar wel weinig varieert met haar zang. Het wordt mede daardoor al snel saai. Mijn smaak is het niet, maar een ruime 3 voor de kwaliteit.

Hele rustige, ingetogen americana. Het doet me gelijk denken aan Folklore van Taylor Swift en ik als Swiftie kan dit goed vergelijken. Dat album vond ik verrassend goed en daar werkte ook producer Antonoff aan mee. Wat ik overigens wel weer opvallend vind, is dat van Lana del Rey wel een album als dit wordt gekozen, maar van Taylor Swift staat er zo'n bombastisch gedrocht in de snoblijst. Overigens prima, als je maar 1 album mag kiezen per artiest, wat we bijna per direct moeten invoeren bij een lijst als deze. Als we weer even terugzoomen op de muziek, heeft het dus heel veel gelijkenissen met Taylor Swift. Wat me wel stoort, is net als bij bijv Billie Eilish, maar ook genoeg andere artiesten van tegenwoordig, dat ze een soort trucje uitvoeren. Op een bepaalde manier zingen, gemaakt semizwoel gefluister. Dat heb je in eerste instantie amper door, maar na een paar nummers dan begin je toch te denken dat je dit al een keer eerder hebt gehoord. Je moet er even inkomen omdat het vrij traag is, maar het is op zich niet verkeerd. Er zit in de stijl genoeg variatie in en op het moment dat je iets in begint te kakken, wordt er zowaar naar versnelling 2 geschakeld bij Dark But Just a Game. Al met al moet je er wel voor in de stemming zijn. Folklore van Taylor Swift zou ik een 4 geven, dat haalt dit zeker niet. Ik zal het houden bij een redelijke 3.

I'm ok with Lana lol.

Beautiful but made me sad. I’ll listen again next time I need to cry or am feeling sorry for myself 😂

Didn't really find much interesting about it so far. Perhaps I I'll try listening to more Lana Del Rey stuff to properly find what all the fuss around her is about. I mean it's okay, but a lil too homogenous and bland for me. It lacks some of that sauce

Pleasant, and some clever lyrics. But doesn’t hold my attention.

i dig lana’s vibe but it’s also kind of boring sometimes

Good

Taylor before Taylor was Taylor - and an interesting one to get as the Swifties gather in Scotland. Produced in the modern way, with muddy vocals and all the songs sounding the same, but more interesting than some of the more bubble-gum pop efforts out there. Like the AOR/MOR of pop music - but I can't work out if that's a compliment or not.

I think I've listened to a couple of Lana Del Rey albums before (I'm pretty certain I've listened to Ready To Die, and maybe I listened to Norman Fuckign Rockwell!), but I've not listened to this one. I was curious to see if this album would make me a fan of Lana. Overall, I thought this album was fine. The songwriting was good, but I expected better from Jack Antonoff. The arrangements were nice as well, but again, nothing here impressed me that much. Lana's vocals are nice, and the tone of her voice really helped carry the mood of this album. One of the biggest letdowns for me on this album is that there's not really much here to separate it from other similar works. My favorite thing about this album was the mood and atmosphere throughout it. This album felt like a beautiful and warm day, but with an air of something being slightly off, like a bright dream with a nightmare on the horizon. The lyrics cover a wide variety of topics, but I enjoyed that nostalgia and denial of present troubles seemed to be the common themes that tied everything together. "White Dress" was my favorite single, with the title track and "Let Me Love You Like A Woman" tied for a close second. However, "Dance Till We Die" was a hidden gem; I really loved the light horns that were used throughout it. Even though this album was just fine, it was still pleasant to listen to, and I wouldn't be opposed to returning to it for another listen.

This is a bit difficult. On one hand, there's good songwriting and her beautiful voice, on the other hand, there is the delivery that sometimes becomes a bit annoying. There is too much whispering and still, the music is just some distant ornament.

I really love Lana Del Rey's earlier albums, so it's such a shame not to have the chance to properly review them as part of this process. Her debut album in particular is superb, including the EP that goes along with it. There's so many big songs in there, and lots of different producers bringing different vibes to the table, while still keeping it a consistent whole. I started to fall out of love a little bit after so many albums, as they veered away from what I thought was more varied, interesting music, into more one-note 'sad jazz singer' territory only. Whenever I see a new LDR track drop, I strongly suspect it to be along those lines, and it almost always is, much to my disappointment. Which brings us to this album.. Right off the bat with the first tracks it's clear that the above holds. It feels way more one-note, with her floaty, whispery vocals not really changing all that much, or the feeling of the songs really changing that much at all. I still like her vibe, and if I didn't have this comparison I'm sure I would be way more up on this. There's definitely moments where the music is quite affecting and her talent shines through. Despite what I said, I do like the sad singer vibe, it's just that I feel like so much of this has been well-trodden by her before, and too much of the album passes by without grabbing the attention as much as it should. Parts of it are very good, and there ARE some different sounding tracks in there, but overall I have to mark it down. We're talking 3.5 rounded down, so still a recommendation overall I guess. But it's not an album I'll revisit very often, if at all. The best thing about this was having the opportunity here to say that I think Born to Die and Ultraviolence are both stunning, 5 star records.

Not bad, it’s chill. Not my favorite project from her but it’s chill, feels complete and concise.

Better than expected, but a bit boring

She's got a great voice, but the music is challenging to listen to. I can't really tell what it is. Maybe it's because the musical accompaniment doesn't bring a lot to it?

A bit over wrought in places. Some ok tracks, but it also gets a bit repetitive.

Pretty similar songs, but quite enjoyable

When Lana clicks it really hits for me but I just kinda feel underwhelmed with some tracks. One of the artists I wish o liked more 3/5

Beautiful voice and nice to have in the background. for me it was nothing groundbreaking.

Singer-songwriter. Pretty mixed feelings about this album. I normally like the soft singer-songwriter music kinda like Phoebe Bridgers or something like Weyes Blood, who happens to be featured in a song on this album. But for some reason Lana Del Rey just doesn't scratch that same itch. At least not as consistently as others. Really didn't like the first song, weird whispery vocals and weird cadence in a part of the chorus or something. The rest of the album is mostly fine, nothing too crazy for. I did like the last few songs a good bit more. Instrumentals in all the songs are pretty good, still just nothing crazy. Overall not very impressed with the album, it's good I guess just not for me. Probably won't revisit. Light 3.5/5

love lana, but this is her weakest album

Never got Lana Del Ray before really but I have been enjoying this first listen. Not that much variety admittedly, although she's clearly prolific, with 8 albums in 10 years or something. Makes her discography somewhat impenetrable however if you're not already into it. Not sure it's for me long term, but I'll probably come back to this one as it feels like it would reward repeat listens. I did lose interest before the end though, too much the same.

Yawna Del Meh.

i think the reptiloids made this one

There isn’t a bad song on this, but it almost completely just blends together, largely lacking differentiation between the sad slow songs, with the exception of the bridge in the second to last song, which comes too late to really spice things up anyways. 3 because it’s all enjoyable, but it just doesn’t work as an album.

Pleasant throughout, I enjoyed enough for a 3 I think.

Interesting vocals and music. This is a 4 if I’m in the right mood

Don't mind her whole vibe - it's archly gothic and a little stalker/bunny boiler, but every song sounds like the others - and that seems to be the case for her 2024 stuff when compared to this It is all quite soporific too - not really stuffed with party bangers

I was expecting her to sound a bit more like Adele, actually. She has a bit more of a torch song feel to her voice, and a lot of the songs lent to that feel as well. The second to last track, though, REALLY hit hard. More of that, please. I think she could go as a good rocker. Top tracks: "Dance Til We Die," title track

Rare keuze om deze plaat uit de jaren '20 te includeren. Het is niet slecht, maar vooral eentonig en een beetje saai. Lana heeft een goede stem, maar die kan niet het hele album dragen.

Never listened to her before. I get why all the girls like her now. Not my cup of tea.

Generally speaking, I do like Lana’s whole shtick (if it’s fair to call it that), but apparently it stretches my patience when taken as a complete album. Some of the lyric choices (overly twee? Anachronistic?) that I can overlook or even find charming in a standalone song were hard not to roll my eyes at here.

This is the first Lana Del Rey album I have listened to, fitting before her headline performance at Coachella this weekend. On the surface, this is weirdly new to appear on this “1001 albums to listen to” list given that it's barely three years old. Then you look around and find that it was added to the 2021 edition of the list within months of release. All this to say that it might have been a presumptuous addition because this sounds to me like it does not need to be listened to before you die. Sure, there is some merit here with it being a baroque pop album that sounds aesthetically pleasing; a song like "Dark But Just a Game" is a good example of this style. But this album rarely leaves much of an impression, as Lana's wistful cooing and lyrical clunkiness don't work well, combined with Jack Antonoff's sheen pop production that does not mesh well here. There are times when the lyrical themes conflict with each other. I can't imagine Lana is "Wild at Heart" and wanderlust while embracing traditional ideals like standing by your man on "Let Me Love You Like a Woman". What surprised me was that this album ends with a cover of Joni Mitchell's "For Free" where Weyes Blood takes the final verse. Given her rich vocal timbre, it's as if she steals the show from Lana right at the end, which was probably not intended. Perhaps it could have been a ceremonial passing of the torch, but that wouldn't work because Lana followed up with another album the same year this dropped. I have to assume there's a better Lana album out there because this was not a good first impression. It's certainly not a must-hear.

nice album

wowza her er det veeeldig hviskepustesang. Husker å ha hørt det albumet og ble litt underwhelmed tbh. Fortsatt litt underwhelming. Og hvorfor uttaler hun ting så rart? Og Autotune wat? Lana ikke helt på topp, men noen låter er kule

Pleasant music.

I guess this was largely good, but only a couple tracks stood out on first listen, and the album was similar enough throughout that I was looking forward to it ending. Honestly baffled why this album is on the list given how recent + underwhelming it is. 2.5.

J'ai écouté ceci après Joni Mitchell et j'y vois une filiation directe. Cela dit, j'ai toujours une attraction-répulsion pour les petites voix chuchotées. Je suis indécise.

Pretty much new territory for me but highly enjoyable all the same. Top-class song-writing and a rich production, with “Yosemite” the possible standout track. Lana also channels her inner Joni on “For Free” and “Let Me Love You Like a Woman” is fabulous.

Inoffensive, dreamy, almost background music. Yes, chemtrails over the country club, artificial clouds over a care free life. 3*

Surprising myself with a middle of the road 3 hear. I love it but nothing too fancy

I liked this more than I thought I would.

Nice

I'm torn about Lana. I've tried to power through her stuff before – it's the genre of stuff I generally like, but for some reason, her music really rubs me the wrong way. This was pretty good as long as I wasn't really listening to it. But really paying attention, it's track after track of dour mumble-whisper. Kind of samey. Not a lot of depth for me to get involved with.

Turns out I only really like a select few Lana Del Ray songs. It was a good album to have on while I was cooking, but I wasn’t all that impressed given how much I like some of her songs.

Average Lana record. Some good songs, but the majority is mid. 5/10

At times it was like listening to Tori Amos having an asthma attack but I didn't hate it like I thought I was going to. Could have done with fewer 'downside of fame' moans though.

A very good album that stumbles at the beginning and end. Not my favorite Lana.

A good portion of this record I really like. It was well put together, well written, atmospheric, and generally quite well considered. Much better than I anticipated. Although Id only ever heard one LDR song before and it was ace (black bathing suit) so Im not sure why I didn’t think this would be as good. Bits of it at times reminded me of that first Marika Hackman EP, but it never properly reaches those heights for me. The problem is when it goes on, it really goes on. Some songs start out great but get a bit dull and repetitive. A few could’ve had a minute or two knocked off for me liking. Overall though, canny. Not sure if Id be back bar a few songs, including White Dress, Tulsa Jesus Freak, Wild at Heart, Yosemite. 3.5

2.5/5. Meh, not really for me.

18 albums in before I am given a woman. 18!!!! Never listened to this album before. Didn’t enjoy it as much as some of her other stuff, but its fine. 3/5

Truly surprised that I kinda enjoyed

I enjoyed this quite a bit. It was quite beautiful at times and the spare arrangements really allow you sink into the mood the album sets.

Take out your turquoise and all of your jewels Go to the market, the kids' swimming pools Baby, what's your sign? My moon's in Leo, my Cancer is sun You won't play, you're no fun Well, I don't care what they think Drag racing my little red sports car I'm not unhinged or unhappy, I'm just wild I'm on the run with you, my sweet love There's nothing wrong contemplating God Under the chemtrails over the country club Wearing our jewels in the swimming pool Me and my sister just playing it cool Under the chemtrails over the country club Meet you for coffee at the elementary schools We laugh about nothing as the summer gets cool It's beautiful how this deep normality settles down over me I'm not bored or unhappy, I'm still so strange and wild You're in the wind, I'm in the water Nobody's son, nobody's daughter Watching the chemtrails over the country club Suburbia, The Brentwood Market What to do next? Maybe we'll love it White picket chemtrails over the country club Decent. 3/5

I enjoy Lana's slightly haunting vocals, her self-harmonizing, and her vaguely dark and off-kilter musical and lyrical take on the Americana genre. She takes a very classic genre and breathes new life into it. Even the album cover and album title reflect that bizarre musical point of view. That said, all of Lana's songs on this album are pretty much slow, croony ballads. The songs individually are all well done, but an entire album of this particular style with little variation from it does start to drag a bit. I don't know enough about Lana's discography to know why this album specifically might be deserving of a place on this project over her other albums, but I do believe Lana deserves a spot on here, if for nothing else than taking a genre not often seen in popular music today and doing something fresh with it. I think this is probably about a 3.5 for me, but the one-trick pony aspect of it keeps me from wanting to round up to 4. Nonetheless, a good album!

this is my second endeavor listening to lana, after hearing people rave about her music for years. my first was her newest, "Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd" that I listened to outside of this project to listen to this past year's Grammy Album of the Year nominees. as compared to that album, i liked this one better, but it has a lot of the same issues that I had with her most recent, which is mainly that her albums just bore me. I don't mind soft, acoustic, ballad-y music, but her music just ends up dragging for me. i like the songwriting on this one better, i actually think it's interesting and catchy at points. i really liked the joni mitchell cover! but that shows me that i think her songwriting isn't for me - when she's covering songwriters i love, it works really well. but overall, i can just say that i'm getting the sense her music isn't for me. i don't find it particularly haunting or beautiful, it just feels very middle of the road to me. it isn't bad, i just find it a bit boring.

Album 324 of 1001 Lana Del Rey - Chemtrails Over The Country Club Rating : 3.5 / 5 While being a decent album of ballads, I see no reason how an album that has been out for less than 3 years could be included on a list of albums that you must hear "before you die". It hasn't stood the test of time needed to prove itself worthy of that consideration. That being said, for its genre, it is a fine album. Nice songwriting, production & performance. Will add her to the list of impressive singer/songwriters I've found as I go through the list.

I think this is the first full album I've listened to by Lana Del Rey even if I was a fan of some of her hit songs from her first album over 10 years ago. This is an inoffensive album, a good late night listen, and I quite enjoyed her voice. My main problem with this album is that it is overproduced and that it all sounds a tad too samey. But it is still more interesting music than other manufactured stars like Taylor Swift, for instance. I was considering a 2 but I'm round this up to 3.

I love Lana but a bit mystified why her earlier albums aren't on here? It's a great album but not the best Lana. Great tunes, dreamy tunes and bold female statement.

Op zich best een chill album! Misschien moet ik iets meer van haar luisteren, dacht dat ik haar saai vond.

She seems like a really interesting person and there were some nice tracks on this album, including a decent cover of 'For Free' but, sadly, it was all a little unmemorable!

I've always been sort of okay with Lana Del Rey, despite feeling that her entire persona is manufactured and marketed. She has a decent voice and is a decent songwriter. I enjoyed this album, although it could use a little variation, maybe an occasional uptempo number would be good! 3 stars.

I love her voice, enjoyed the album, but would probably never listen again.

Such a shame it's so one paced. Decent listen but doesn't touch some of her other work

Pleasant but all same paced and probably will not listen again. Opening track possibly the stand out.

Liked it more than I thought I would but very repetitive sound. Not sure that I needed to listen to this one before I died, but I didn’t hate it. Her voice is incredible but this feels like a gospel album. 2.5 stars. Best track was Dance Till We Die

I say this having just LOVED the most recent LDR album that this just didn't do it for me. Perfectly nice but nothing that slaps like the new album.

decent

I had never heard a single note of Lana Del Ray's music. This is much more mellow than I had anticipated her music being. I almost feel like I can't appropriately judge this album, as it was released just a few years ago and I haven't heard any other Lana Del Ray albums. This is much better than I had imagined a Lana Del Ray album would be, though perhaps too mellow. I'm not even sure this is the best LDR album, but it feels like this album was influenced by others more than it has influenced others...so far.

Lana Del Rey has a tendency to command one's attention while slipping through their fingers. On the follow-up to the album that permanently cemented Lana as a generational figure, she emits a swooning, dreamy vibe that would not let up. Nods to Joni Mitchell, The White Stripes and her own experiences in a barbarous industry abound and add to Lana's own powerful mythos. No longer is Lana Del Rey someone who is born to die, Lana Del Rey is an auteur; someone whose cinematic grasp on music will become a touchstone for those who shall walk her path in due time. Favorites: White Dress, Chemtrails Over the Country Club, Let Me Love You Like a Woman, Wild at Heart, Dark But Just a Game, Breaking Up Slowly, Dance Till We Die.

Not bad. Just very repetitive which is typical for her.

Not really a fan of the breathy female vocal style

I really want to understand Lana but I can't.

2.75

Depressingly ok

It was fine.

Beetje een toning. Maar wel fijne melodieen. Mooie zuivere zang binnen de lijntje. Soms een beetje droevig en saai. Goeie productie

Not a bad album, I preferred it to Taylor Swift who I would put in the same category. The songs sounded very haunting and classically American, like the laments of a cowboy’s widow. I don’t like the album name though, it’s just alliteration, like ‘cornflakes in the cat carrier’.

Very chill album. Pretty much exactly what you would expect from Lana del Rey. 3.5/5.

nice vocals, should probably give it a few more listens to see if there is something to it, but i dont really want to

not rly my style but good songwriting!

It’s alright. She’s got a good voice but not really my type of music

Merci à Robert de nous avoir proposé comme seul album d'une de mes artistes préférées, son pire album en carrière.

I am not her target audience, and this is pretty "hip." That said, I'll give it 3 stars. Too much autotune.

Produced by Jack Antonoff, which tracks. Millennial women love Lana, but as a gen Z, I only like her ok. All of the songs blur together for me. Nice, but the same. 3.2.

Lana Del Rey is fantastic, but this is probably not her best album. feel like its too far gone at this point, sacrificing listenability in order to focus on a specific style. Because of this, its quite boring.

Didn’t like it as much as I expected to. Oh well!

Musically fine, if on the bland side. Some nice moments and hints of a great atmospheric sound, but much of this is pretty forgettable. It’s like she almost headed into something interesting, but doesn’t go quite far enough to stick the landing. Fave Songs: Not All Who Wander Are Lost, Dark but Just a Game, Yosemite

Sounds pretty I guess, but hard to make heads or tails of, honestly.

Nothing special

good but not my style

I personally think the sentiment that Lana is a one trick pony is a little bit unfair generally, but this album is certainly one trick. There are no highs/energetic tracks like “National Anthem” or “Off to the Races” to balance out the slow tracks like in her better albums. It is also an odd choice from her albums to include in this list, given its newness. Despite this, it’s a pleasant album (to me, at least) to listen to, in contrast to some of the ambitious, failed albums in the list. Which means it has a floor rankings-wise.

Lana makes good study music, will probably come back to it

Talent for sure. Sleeper tho.

Beautiful, just wish I connected to the lyrics more.

6/10

I was hoping for NFR since that's the Lana Del Ray that I know and really like but I suppose this is a pretty important album in her discography at this point. Aside from wild at heart, not all who wander are lost, and especially dark but just a game, I was mildly bored by this album. Even those tracks, though are all somewhat similar. It was well produced and lana has a great voice but I just don't vibe with a lot of it, even the title track was pretty mid. Dark but just a game was really good but it was still no NFR or Doing Time. It's weird because this is pretty similar to the lana stuff I like but it just isn't doing it for me in the same way.

I am a big backer of the modern folk revival. For once it was a trend I was ahead of the curve on. Lana tends to be hit or miss for me. I think this is a good album and honestly if I wasn't coming at it from an analytical perspective of a folk lover I would like it more. For me as a classic and indie folk lover it just has a bit too much of a pop influence at times. I think that does lend itself into its own space in music. I think the other thing that detracts from it for me is just how melodramatic her voice comes across in the slower parts. I like depressing music more than most, but her voice just depresses me in a way that my typical sad folk doesn't. It is a really good album, but I am just overly critical of folk albums. I think a few more listens to adjust and I would probably rate it higher I'm just not there yet with it.

This record suprised me, I ended up liking it far more than I expected. The first 2 songs especially blew me away. Incredible vocals, and I liked the minimal instrumentation with the pianos and light synths. It all felt quite ethereal which felt quite refreshing to the usual bubblegum electronic pop of the decade so far. I did find the further I got into the album, it all got a little repetitive however.

The album is cohesive and consistent. I generally like the melodies. The Jack Antonoff production and songwriting assistance is obvious, so much so that I feel this veers into Taylor Swift territory on more than one occasion. And with that comes a little too much familiarity for my liking. The chord progressions aren't particularly adventurous, the tempo doesn't change much, and you rarely get any musical tension building into impactful crescendo's. If the hooks were top notch (like Taylor Swift's), this would be a fantastic pop record. However, Lana Del Ray seems to shy away from actual hooks in favor of melodies that fit a vibe. I can certainly appreciate and enjoy that, but a full album of it can get old. My favorite song is definitely "For Free." It's a shame that its relegated to the end of the album.

Good voice. A couple boring songs but mostly enjoyable. Ez 3.5

pretty boring. weak 3

I like it 3.5

This album is good background music, but nothing spectacular. Very minimilist musical accompaniment. Favourite songs: Breaking Up Slowly, Tulsa Jesus Freak, Let Me Love You Like a Woman, Wild at Heart, Not All Who Wander are Lost Least favourite songs: White Dress, Yosemite 3/5

interesting listen. dark yet soothing vocals. not normally my thing, but i can see the allure. there were a few songs that i dug. didn’t hate it.

She has a fanstastic voice. This album was way more low-key than a lot of her other stuff. What I really don't like is that whisper singing thing she does a lot on this album. So menos puntos.

OK album, nothing really stood out.

I would have put Norman Fucking Rockwell well ahead of this as an inclusion on the list.

Pretty boring ,can’t really remember any song or lyrics.Her voice is nice but the music is quite slow and melancholy.I could see myself enjoying this more in another mood.

Such a disappointment after NFR. All the songs are at the same tempo, and sound like overproduced mush. Unnecessary Joni Mitchell cover only highlights the difference in songwriting quality. Shame, barely scrapes a 3.

Fine, but underwhelming - really didn't enjoy the Joni Mitchell cover at the end.

I'm not going to lie, I'm surprised to see this on this list. I don't know one single thing about it other than it DID NOT SELL when I worked at Green Light. Of course that's not necessarily indicative of quality buuuuut...I'll just say I was curious to see why this was on here. Starting sleepy and boring as fuck this might be one of those rare instances where the middle of the album is actually the best. I really started off not caring for Lana's whispery almost inaudible singing but when she chose to let lose I really really liked her voice. I thought this album shone brightest during its biggest moments where the music becomes grandiose and pretty. By about halfway through I was surprisingly bought in. I can't help but notice some similarities to T. Swift's career defining album 'Folklore', which make me think this is a response and attempt to replicate the runaway success of that album. It doesn't quite reach the heights that I think it was striving for but there are little nuggets of really cool stuff buried here. 3

boring but harmless

It's a really lovely sounding album. Like a 70s cocaine opera but with a few modern production twists. But after a while, the songs do get a bit samey. The current trend of 'Wah I'm rich but sad' pop is a bit tired really and I can't really relate, cos my parents names aren't in blue on Wikipedia...

3,5. draumapopp, hlusta aftur.

Nice. Probably like the city of the same name too. Very Nice.

as with every single lana record it's the same three song on repeat. It's a snoozefest that you mildly enjoy

-i have listened to SO MUCH lana del rey, but funny enough not this album -first song is definitely not her best songwriting or singing -lanas voice is so pretty and i will never get over it -dark but just a game feels like old lana -this is definitely very chill and laid back -OH i know breaking up slowly -very beautiful song -definitely my favorite on the album -this is getting 3 stars because it was nice to listen to and i like lana but this is not her best album

Meh, kind of one dimensional. Worth a listen once but wouldn't pick it up again. Thanks Lana :)

I want to know what happened at the Men in Music Business Conference, down in Orlando.

Fair to middling

I can see why she’s so popular with teens. This is exactly what I would expect a high school kid to listen to as they process their first break up. I was bored a lot. Although, some of the music choices and singing were quite nice. Some of the lyrics were confusing, but the message of each song was made obvious. This could also be used to replace any white noise machines that help people sleep, just a little psa

Not as good as her earlier albums but decent.

It was apparently too easy to forget how strange an installment this was. My memory of NFR is even hazier, and Blue Banisters fades into the length of there's a tunnel. Chemtrails is, no doubt, the right representative for contemporary Lana on a list like this. The old elements are there or just behind, but the record feels like an artifact of some alternate '10s timeline. Not sticky like the records Lana Del Rey actually made then, for whatever reason: Age, place, change in the approach to "deluxe" releases and rereleases. So a possibly premature add more than deserves rethought.

Bah. Normalito.

Beautiful, but too early to be in the list

Sad girl energy that I can see the allure of, but LDR never spoke to me as a guy.

Kind of a one vocal trick pony? Enough interesting musicians to elevate the overall composition, though as always it seems with modern pop, produced within an inch of its life.

Taylor Swift country but fused with the vibe of a depressed alien streetwalker. have to admire her consistency on this album. 3.5/5

3.5

Have always love LDR. Not her best album, but still good as always.

Beautiful singer, but album remains a bit dull. Could enjoy this in a spa.

I could sleep to this

Like the cover

It's fine

Not bad, not her best. 6/10

not gay or a woman sorry

3/5. Beautiful and haunting, the songs feel annoying after a bit of relistens, especially that first song. Wish it was exciting, I don’t care during some songs and just skip them. But dang, can she sing and make me feel like every song is everything and the most important thing in the world. It’s just not after thinking about it for a few seconds.

Icon for many, do like her voice of course but just not my music,

This album is all vibe. It is an easy, pleasant and relaxing listen. Although there is maybe not much to the songs, it is instantly appealing. I feel like it is unlikely to have much longevity, though. It is also quite heavily front loaded. Enjoyable overall, but its charm is of a fading variety. Rating: 3/5 Playlist track: White Dress Date listened: 18/06/23

Decent, I guess. I do listen to a lot of recent music made for moody teenage girls, they have this melancholic element that I love. But... it's easy to do such things wrong. It's easy to turn it from melancholic to boring, or at least droning. There's a lot of similar sounding but better music out there, but I guess Lana's name is big enough to get picked for this list. Maybe she even pioneered such sound. But why would I care, it won't change the fact that this album is pretty boring.

Good album. Definitely captures the sound of a group of artists currently popular.

Liked the album, doesn’t feel as strong as her latest, but enjoyed the listen. White Dress was great
