Какая-то заунывная попса
Ever if she lives on a airboat in the swamps now, for whatever reason, I just can't get down with Lana
Not for me. Didn’t know what to expect. I thought she was a younger pop star.
meh
I get the appeal, and I can appreciate a few of her songs when in the right, melancholic-y mood, but by the end of the album I had this cloying feeling, it was too much. Anyways, this was my first time listening to anything by Lana Del Rey and I'm glad I did find her, but I'm not looking forward to listen to her again :) I really hope the next album has some drums in it!
Vibes
Chill, smooth, bit her best but liked it all the same
The first 60% of this was pretty good but I thought the last couple songs were the weakest. I have no idea why this is the album they picked for her when she has multiple that's way more critically acclaimed. Overall enjoyed it. Makes me wanna listen to her other stuff
Great album for a sunny winter's Saturday afternoon at home to just chill out.
The album meanders and lacks any vibe. Some individual songs are ok and as an album doesn't command attention.
Delicate and beautiful The title track is an incredible showcase of minimalistic accompaniment to a haunting voice
This is fine but it sounds like every other Jack Antonoff produced album
Ive loved watching her progression, the addition of Jack Antonoffs production skills took her to another level.
Luscious pop
An interesting mix of tracks. She has a magnificent voice but doesn't always let it shine.
3.
Snoresville. The tunes just go nowhere at all.
I understand critique about the modernity of the album, but you gotta admit: it's great. Maybe some of you are just basic white males.
Excelente álbum, no a la altura de NFR pero casi y eso es mucho decir. Produce el sospechoso habitual Mr. Jack Antonoff. Las canciones, sobresalientes: Un disco que no se hace largo ni pesado, se disfruta mucho desde la magnífica apertura de White Dress hasta la titular, toda una majestuosa canción. Mis favoritas: Dark But Just A Game y Breaking Up Slowly. Mención aparte para For Free que cierra el álbum con otra diva: Weyes Blood
I haven't listened to Lana Del Rey before but the album name made me laugh out loud. The album itself is a good pop album. Very softspoken music but never dull. For me it would have been nice with some more energetic songs mixed in but it feels like that's not her vibe at all.
Initially when the album started off with White Dress, the High, Breathy voice was quite weird especially when mixed with the Jammed/Forced cadence of some of the pre-chorus/chorus lines. However, getting deeper into the album, the voice did start becoming quite haunting even if the tone of the album remained quite similar but things slowed down and took slower and more melancholic turns. It is able to hold itself just about at a 3.5/5 but definitely not enough to be bumped to a 4 and instead will be bumped to a 3 instead.
A lot of the songs feel pretty repetitive resulting in a somewhat bland album. Not sure if it merits inclusion in this list. Croony/moody vibes
Boring, bland, repetitive and over-produced. Nothing new or interesting. The breathy vocal is annoying. How does this qualify as an album you must hear before you die? 1.5/5. Raising to 2.
Lana Del Rey’s music has never really been my cup of tea. I could never get into the soft breathy style. Just for her influence on pop music Lana definitely deserves a spot on the list. Without her we would have no Billie Eilish. I’m just not sure this is the album of hers to include. I do, however, really like the song Wild At Heart.
A 3.5, being an album that I will probably put on from time to time. A few weaker songs brings it down but the first half has some lovely tracks.
I feel that Lana’s and Frank Ocean’s music are quite similar. LA subject matter and vibe, passionate arrangements, a freedom in their vocal performances. This is probably one of my least favorite Lana albums though. Give us some NFR, list!
Melodically it feels like she has written all these songs before. I thought Norman Fucking Rockwell! was her best?
You know, I didn’t really expect to like this one as much as I did, but it’s quite good. I don’t like the weird whispering thing she does on the first song, but after that, the album actually gets pretty good. It’s a little overproduced, but Lana has an incredible voice regardless. This album is extraordinarily relaxing and vibey. I actually thoroughly enjoyed “Tulsa Jesus Freak” and “Dark But Just A Game” the most. Put this down as one of the albums that genuinely surprised me with how good I found it. Little fun fact, as of writing this, this album is one of just 2 that came out the same year as the last revision of the book that this site pulls from.
This is a recording of a woman playing root position quarter note chords on a piano while singing personal non sequiturs which would be better shared with her therapist. I used to have a wife like this.
Didn't expect to like it, and I'm not going to go out of my way to listen to whole albums of hers, but I quite enjoyed it, very relaxing.
Fine, I guess
"Chemtrails over the Country Club" is the seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey. Americana, country folk and folk are the Wiki-listed genres. I guess that works. The album was produced by Lana, Jack Antonoff and Rick Nowells. Album themes include friends and family, escapism, love, heartbreak, nostalgia and disillusionment. The album had wide-spread critical acclaim and, commercially, it reached #1 in the UK and #2 in the US. "White Dress" opens the album with a soft piano, drums and guitar. That's most songs by the way. Lana in a higher-registered voice sings about her younger self: waitressing, listening to the White Stripes and Kings of Leon and traveling with her boyfriend to a business conference in Orlando. The self-titled "Chemtrails over the Country Club" sees Lana go back to a deeper voice. She said this song was about family and friends. I picked up the contrast of chemtrails and country club life...is there something underneath the lives of those rich people? In "Tulsa Jesus Freak" she tackles religion to a certain extent. Not a total repudiation nor an endorsement of religion. One of the highlights of the album is the first single released "Let Me Love You Like a Woman." A dreamy ballad. Layered Lana vocals. Fairly traditional gender role lyrics. A critic compare this song to Mazzy Star. That's a nice comp. "Dance Til We Die" is an ode to Stevie Nick's, Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell. This is a more lush song with the mellotron and goes bluesy for a bit with the horns. A song about the curse of fame and the complexity of love. The lyrics and vocals are the centerpiece of this album. The music is for the most part subdued, minimal and chill. The themes mentioned in the opening paragraph pretty summarize her topics. What is unique is how Lana poetically describes things especially herself. She's traditional yet has a wild side. She's seems to have enjoyed the country club lifestyle yet questions the taint of the rich and realizes the curse of fame. Is she religious or not religious? She travels the US - Yosemite, Orlando and Tulsa yet doesn't really specifically comment on it. I guess I'm realizing she has lots of observations without any definitive answers. Life is complex. I do like this album. I don't know if this for everyone but if you are a folk or even pop music fan or like lyrics in general, this is an album worth checking out.
Great opening tracks, but drops away after. Bit of a disappointment after how great NFR was, but never bad. 3.5*

reina y madre
Creo que no soy una Lana girly :( Alguna canción me gustó pero casi todas me dan un poco igual (no son malas pero sin más)
No soy muy de lana del rey de normal pero la verdad q este album no estuvo mal del todo
I should start out by saying I’m a borderline Lana Stan. Like, not to the crazy Twitter Stan™️ degree where I’m performing mental gymnastics to forgive toxic/problematic/outright conservative behavior– and trust me, with Lana, there’s a lot you have to ignore, and even then, sometimes (especially at the time I’m writing this, when she’s actively being transphobic to Ethel Cain), it does cross a personal line for me. Plus, I am a legitimate Stan of three other artists (Charli, Carly Rae, and Mariah) in a way that makes me feel like I have no right to put Lana in that category of committed adoration. But I can commit to separating the art from the artist for Lana, because I am a general huge fan her music on face value, and I have been since I was 19 and watched her bomb SNL. You can critique my tastes as a result, but I’m not going to pretend to be objective. So, when this came up on the generator, I freaked out with excitement, immediately knowing it would be a non-objective 5-star rating. Because I love Lana’s music. Simple as that. Still, this is only her third best album to me. It is, however, her most consistent, and a lot less dense than Norman Fucking Rockwell!, which makes it a more immediate pleasure to the ears. I also think this has a brevity to it that most of her discography lacks, which is to Chemtrail’s benefit. In fact, I’d argue that this is Lana’s strongest Side A, and her discography is generally filled with incredible first halves. Her problematic nature is also to Chemtrail’s benefit, where the nouveau riche conservativism– especially in that pandemic era– feels nearly performance art-esque on tracks like “Tulsa Jesus Freak,” “Let Me Love You Like A Woman,” “Dance Till We Die,” and, of course, the title track. While the Americana is not as interesting as it is on the hip-hop-meets-‘50s-vocal-pop of Born to Die [my favorite Lana album], it’s still very effective here. I also love that we get her pushing her style to its maximum, resulting is strange vocalizations and lyrics on “White Dress,” unexpected progressions on “Dark But Just A Game,” and country duets on “Breaking Up Slowly.” Unfortunately, this hard lean-in to folk-country is also this album’s Achilles Heel, as “Not All Who Wander Are Lost” and “Yosemite” both feel nearly clique and uninteresting. While I think this style is totally in-line with where Lana was always going to end up stylistically, the end result is a bit limp in the context of her general output, even if it’s still very good. I would say the same is true to a lesser extent on the closer “For Free,” although the real issue is that the features aren’t as tight as I would expect, which may be the point, but is distracting nonetheless. Whatever critiques I have of Chemtrails Over the Country Club, though, are kind of insignificant. They’re just a thin attempt to look objective when in reality I’m just a sucker for Lana, and a subjective dick rider. I have always really loved this record, and while it’s far from my favorite release either of 2021 or even from Lana herself, it still ranks high in both categories. It isn’t the Lana album I would’ve chosen, obviously, or even my second choice, but it’s still a very strong option and a very excellent record, and I’m still a massive fan of it, despite my nitpicks.
She has done much better than this
LdR's music dwells in the abject psychosis of Americana, surfing its fantasies and detourning its tropes. Chemtrails over the country club is a great line in this vein - speaking to both the ambient toxicity that haunts the American suburbs but also the deranged conspiratorial ways of thinking about the disquieting latent menace of living in the heart of empire. Her voice is whispy and ethereal; the melodies are seductive and elusive, approaching familiar moves before turning away. No hooks here, just mood. The music is the same, floaty swells of piano and acoustic guitar with strings and slides and backing vocals that rise and and fall. This album doesn't really have a stand out track and gets pretty samey, a bit boring with ballad after ballad and no beats to be found - she should be on the list, but this the wrong choice. In 2015 a friend said LdR is music for dumb guys with smart girlfriends and refused to elaborate, but it makes sense.
Dit vond ik ook fijn genoeg om het aan te laten staan toen het album al af was. Lana heeft een fijne stem, kalm, rustig. Ik ben gewoon niet zo fan van haar grootste hits, maar dit album is fijn. Hopelijk pak ik haar er soms bij vanaf nu
alright, not bad
The queen of American kitsch. Not her best album, but still more than worth a listen.
Horrible its the same song same tone, same depressing melancholic lyrics. Adel sucks and its still better. She does have a different voice but its so similar all that you cant really enjoy her distinctive sound.
I like this. A little generic, but she's obviously very talented, and I enjoyed a few of these songs a lot.
Ugh. So boring.
I had never heard any songs by her before, is this what modern pop is now? It was fine, I just didn't really like it... It's like she's trying to be Dido or something without the range.
The creator of this book/website/idea have totally opposite tastes
Her voice is so quiet it's like I can't hear it.
= the Beatles
Ok so I’ve tried hard over the years to figure this artist out. Normal Rockwell and Blue Banisters were more or less on repeat for a month a few years ago. There are a few songs I like - Arcadia for example. But I just don’t get it. Did she really just say “I listened to white stripes when they were hot” and call out Kings of Leon? At least message how cute and cool you are with subtlety. It’s all too boring, too cliched, too pretentious...she’s simply trying so hard it’s offensive. 2/5
I like her voice and style. Overall this album isn’t my favorite of hers, but it’s not bad.
Let me Love You Like A Woman was actually written about Len Houmous after Lana and Len went out partying for the night. Len always saw her as more of a daughter he wanted (he had lots of other daughters he definitely didn’t want, and the feeling was and is very much mutual) but Lana saw it otherwise. They joked that of they married they could be Lana and Len Del Rey - Houmous. It was and still is very funny to think about that. 2.6 4/12 Let Me Love You Like A Woman
Chemtrails Over the Country Club, described as "folk, country folk, and Americana" but so far she's just whispering too many words in too little a space. There wasn't a moment of this album where I wasn't looking for relief by way of a meeting or just waiting for it to be over. Maybe the hardest test of patience with this project yet.
Complete crap! 45 minutes of the same boring dirge with shitty whisper-singing over the top. This was absolute torture to sit through.
This wasn’t too bad but some songs are so boring and I’m not a big fan of her vocals. They’re way too breathy and sound so uninteresting.
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.
Didn't really vibe with this one. I don't think the echo effect adds that much to the mix.
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 imagine the vocals are meant to sound breathy and dreamy, but they come off as bored and inconsequential. The same can be applied to the entire album, eleven tracks of plodding and sparse instrumentation with dull vocals that go straight to the "background music" part of my brain. As this car crash of an album continues, what was once just annoying becomes pure torture. Hence one star from me; this was just awful.
Incredible funk
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.
Ok album, but far from LDR best? Why is it in 1001 greatest albums?
At least we’ll always have “Born To Die”.
Good album. top quality vocals in White Dress.
Louisiana two step high and bright We won't stop dancin' 'til we die ;_;
Lana’s voice and the instrumentation create a very lush sound over which she expresses some very deep lyrics. Let Me Love You Like A Woman is an early standout. I like the variety in vocal delivery and the different, but related, topics of each song. Not All Who Wander Are Lost speaks to a sense of wanderlust and not conforming to someone else’s idea of you, while Breaking Up Slowly is not a breakup song but a song about breaking up when a relationship is not healthy anymore.
Absolutely astonished how much I loved this dreamy summer haze of an album. She nailed her vibe and I am here for it. I wish this experience would happen more often with this project, where I am served an artist I had not previously listened to, only to delight in their work.
Would have been a very middle of the road album if it were released in the 70s. I'm not sure what sets Lana Del Rey apart from every other pop singer pining for the good ole days. I like how weirdly screechy the "DownAtTheMenInMusicBusinessConference" line is though.
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.
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
LDR has a lovely voice, but the music just bums me out.
It was ok.
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.
Thanks, I hate it.
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.
Not for me
걍뭐
haven’t heard any Lana Del Ray yet so I decided to start from the beginning, and it’s actually pretty great! started with 8s for BtD and Ultraviolence, then a 10 for Honeymoon, a 9 for LfL, and then a 10/10 for Norman Fucking Rockwell and this! she really does have a unique sound that I can admire even if I’m not much of a pop fan, I can really appreciate her approach to it :)
Still waiting for something interesting to happen.
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.
Cool vibe. Enjoyed this
Just not my thing, cheesy lyrics that are whispered with boring instrumental backing. I can see how some like this but don't most Lana fans like Norman Rockwell and some others more than this one? Another swing and a miss with the recent albums. Some points for having Weyes Blood on it. Titanic Rising shits on this album, where's it at? Rating: 1.4
I now understand Lana’s appeal and know that it’s not for me. Best song was “For Free”.
8.5/10
Made me a fan instantly
Very talented singer was okay can understand why she’s popular not necessarily my thing
If I was a 14 y/o girl and wanted to kill myself this would be awesome
Ehhhh
Jesus, Jack Antonoff is a one-trick pony. Lana's voice is distinct enough, but the production is the same whether Taylor Swift or LDR. This is dull.
I like Lana Del Rey's languorous voice. I enjoyed this album, though I don't think it's her best - I like NFR or There's a Tunnel more. Solid four stars.
Lovely, moody, unique…always love me some Lana Del Rey.
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.
i don’t like llama del ray
Pre-listening thoughts: UGH GOD I hate Lana del Rey. One trick pony and it’s a boring ass trick. She just sort of moans her way through her music. Do not understand why people worship her like she’s an iconic pop star. She cannot sing. Hate her hate her. Post/during listening thoughts: this did not change my opinion on Lana del Rey. In fact, it only emphasized my points. She spits a mouthful of words that don’t fit on a beat that drones. Like the National but for femcels. UGH UGH UGH 1/10 DID I NEED TO HEAR THIS BEFORE I DIE: NO Fav tracks: actually rolled my eyes thinking of having to add something of hers to my playlist and Spotify now recommending me her stuff NO Least fav tracks: I actually cannot believe this made the list. Fuck off
A bit one-note…but I’m a sucker for this kind of boring music I guess
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
Fun. Good trance music. 4/5
Not my favorite of hers but still a rang good album
I’ve decided this is called waifcore. There’s no doubt she has s decent voice, sounding at times like Joan Baez, but it’s all a bit maudlin for me.
Oh good, more whispery waifish white woman, exactly what we needed more of. She's clearly got an idea of what she wants to do, and how to hit it, but it does absolutely nothing for me. Not something I would ever choose to listen to on my own, and now I have I don't want to again.
This was all very breathy and boring.
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.
Первая часть альбома понравилась, вторая - вайб певицы в заброшенном пустом пабе для байкеров на отшибе трассы, вогнала в бьёрковское медитативное тревожное состояние.
Nice album, like LdR.
A really good album, I liked White Dress, Tulsa Jesus Freak and Let Me Love You Like A Woman the most. I love listening to Lana Del Rey.
This was a very forgettable album. Very "meh" and left little impression on me other than wondering what other more interesting album might have been left off to make room for this one.
Pretty standard Lana, very airy vocals, nothing really stood out to me like NFR
Her 7th album. In order to rescue eleven monotonous dirges of tracks that have a whispy voice singing standard lyrics, the producer way over compensated and made this poor album even more distant. Female artists have told me their stories and struggles elsewhere with far more soul and spirit. I don't believe you Lana.
I listened to this album once when it came out, but never returned to it until it came up on the generator today. It is a solid album, but I think recency bias must have landed it on this list instead of stronger options from Lana's catalog. That said, I will be more likely to listen to it again after this second runthrough. There are some beautiful, melancholy tracks on this album. Was nice to hear Weyes Blood on the "For Free" cover, as well--lovely! Standout tracks: White Dress, Dark But Just A Game, Yosemite
A nice noise. Bit breathy in the vocal delivery and light on hooks, but nevertheless a very pleasant listen.
J - 3/5 Best Track - "Chemtrails Over The Country Club" F - 3/5 Best Track - "Wild At Heart"
Well-intentioned. Sweet.
I liked it a good bit more than I expected. Well crafted, atmospheric dream pop.
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.
She's got a good voice, but I feel like a lot of her music blends together. It's very morose and wispy, and the songs don't really stand out from one another. I did like the guitar in Yosemite, and I like the vocals in small amounts, but overall it gets a bit boring
Some eerie magic in Lana’s style
Sounded like one continuous track throughout, extremely boring and forgettable.
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
Del Rey is in fine vocal form on the album but co-producer Jack Antonoff torpedoes the proceedings here. He does his best to approximate the sound of previous LDR records but his songwriting contribtions fall grossly short of the mark. Nothing on this record approaches the sense of mystery or weirdness found on *Born to Die* or *Ultraviolence*.
I was so excited to get my first album from the 2020's, but then it was just boring. I really like some of Lana's big hits but this album didn't have any song that really captured me. I think it was too vocal-focused and just not as pretty as some of her other albums.
Average. Like a chill Florence & The Machine
A fantastic voice over some soothing and soulful tracks.
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
Highlight: Let Me Love You Like A Woman In a nutshell: dreamy Americana. I'm more familiar with Born To Die, which is more dream pop/trip hop Lana. She maintains the dreamy disillusioned lyrics, but when Lana sings she sounds a bit more like Taylor Swift than herself (specifically on White Dress, Dark But Just A Game and the title track). That sing-whisper instead of the throaty and sultry serenade. The world building game is still strong though. This isn't the best representation of Lana. I recommend listening to Born to Die first then Norman Fucking Rockwell! Overall: 4/10
Not my favorite Lana album but still a good listen
I think is good! First Lana Del Rey album for me. She reminds me of BANKS and I love BANKS.
Ugh. 45 minutes of breathy, whispering vocals layered over soft keys. Lana leans super hard on production here. Not every track needs chorus, jesus. I'm heard more track variance on stoner doom albums than this. It's currently 2025, whomever submitted this album needs to take a reality check. When I think of how fucked everything was in 2021, this album just comes off as vapid. There were people writing music about our institutions crumbling, our leadership failing us and their loved ones dying all around them. Good thing Lana was singing about "remember when we listened to Kings of Leon on the radio?" Who gives a shit. Similar to Taylor Swift, Lana has that same "shoot for the middle" approach that makes her music come off as dull and and safe. It feels like music made with focus groups. The most offensive thing art can be is inoffensive.
I started trying to check out Lana Del Rey’s music about six months ago. I hadn’t got around to Chemtrails Over The Country Club yet so getting this album was perfect timing. First, is this considered sad girl music? I don’t say that disparagingly because I wound up liking this album. Lana has a distinctive vocal style that I do mostly enjoy. The airy voice in parts of White Dress weren’t my favorite. I also got a bit of a Joni Mitchell vibe from Del Rey on this album but where Joni would lose me, Lana is able to pull me in. There were only two songs on Chemtrails that I wasn’t too crazy about, White Dress and Yosemite. But, they wouldn’t stop me from playing the whole album in its entirety. In fact, I ran through Chemtrails Over the Country Club twice because I was so intrigued. The really strong material by Lana got me to give this album a four rating. 4/5
We were slightly negative going into this that it wasn't Born To Die, but actually have now completely changed our minds. We really enjoyed this: it's a very cohesive, atmospheric album.
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.
Chemtrails Over the Country Club feels more like a delicate sigh than a full statement. The mood is dreamy and hushed throughout, with Lana leaning heavily into her ethereal Americana aesthetic—but the songs mostly blur together in a mist of whispered vocals, gauzy piano, and barely-there melodies. There are glimmers of beauty in tracks like White Dress and Tulsa Jesus Freak, but too often the album drifts without really landing anywhere. It’s not that it’s poorly made—if anything, it’s too carefully crafted, to the point of being emotionally distant. The lack of variation in tone or tempo makes it feel like one long, melancholy lullaby, and the poetic imagery sometimes crosses the line into self-parody. There’s atmosphere in abundance, but not much else to hold on to.
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.
Influenced who? Her manager? Her mother? For crying out loud, the album has barely even reached pre-school age yet, let alone talking about it influencing anyone of note.
This should be album 1001 because you die from boredom.
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
breathy thin voice, especially in upper register; harmony is mostly octave unison, and there isn't a lot of movement on her melodies; quiet contemplative brooding music
A bit too chill and boring for my tastes but it was relaxing at least. There wasn't a whole lot of variety between tracks either.
Soothing.
Wonderful music by a very talented musician
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
Boring and all sounded the same.
Can't believe this is on here. It's not my fave LDR album but it's still one of the best. If this is on here I bet NFR will be too. Listening to this during lockdown vs now.... Jesus I feel all the weird chills I was supposed to get. I think I appreciate it a lot more.

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.
The production is not ambitious. Very little differentiation between the songs, which is a shame because as ballads they all need a bit more of their own personality to make the album bearable. The result is a very boring album. One of the most boring albums I have ever heard.
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.
Sruprisingly not that bad, just not very memorable. I guess the songwriting is the key here and the texts are quite good.
A pleasant surprise. I only knew one pop track (Summertime sadness) by Lana Del Rey, and here comes this slow, melancholic alternative pop album with hints of Lorde or even Agnès Obel, and it’s actually going down pretty well, … but now I want to return to something more energetic.
A popstar cosplaying as a blue collar woman sings sad songs during the pandemic, locked away in her estate. Vain, dull, redundant, trash. 1/10
boring
Chemtrails Over The Country Club ist das siebte Studioalbum der US-amerikanischen Sängerin und Songwriterin Lana Del Rey. Die Produktion fand in verschiedenen Aufnahmestudios in den Vereinigten Staaten statt, unter anderem in Los Angeles und New York. Die Zusammenarbeit mit dem Produzenten Jack Antonoff, der bereits an früheren Projekten beteiligt war, prägt den Klang des Albums spürbar. Musikalisch bewegt sich das Werk im Spannungsfeld zwischen Alternative Pop, Folk und einem zurückhaltenden Indie-Sound. Viele Stücke sind von ruhigen Arrangements und introspektiven Texten geprägt. Klavier, akustische Gitarre und dezente elektronische Elemente schaffen eine melancholische Atmosphäre, die Lana Del Reys charakteristische Stimme untermalt. Inhaltlich greift das Album persönliche Themen auf, etwa Vergänglichkeit, familiäre Beziehungen oder ein Gefühl der Entfremdung. Songs wie „White Dress“ oder der Titeltrack „Chemtrails Over The Country Club“ geben Einblicke in Selbstwahrnehmung und die Auseinandersetzung mit öffentlicher Aufmerksamkeit. Auch „Tulsa Jesus Freak“ und „Dark But Just A Game“ bleiben durch ihre reduzierte Instrumentierung und stimmungsgeladene Texte im Gedächtnis. Die Produktion verzichtet weitgehend auf opulente Klangbilder und setzt stattdessen auf eine eher zurückgenommene Gestaltung. Dies verleiht dem Album einen ruhigen Fluss und lässt den Texten Raum zur Entfaltung. Die Handschrift der Interpretin ist dabei durchgehend erkennbar, sowohl in der Auswahl der Themen als auch in der Ästhetik. Chemtrails Over The Country Club ist ein introspektives Album, das auf stilistische Zurückhaltung setzt. Es richtet sich an Hörerinnen und Hörer, die eine ruhige, textzentrierte Klangwelt schätzen und Lana Del Reys Erzählweise bereits aus früheren Werken kennen.
Sad girl music. I like LDR but this isn't the album I would have chosen, probably by 4th favourite. High 3
He estado apunto de ponerle 5 ⭐
Great album, but a but too much of the same thing. Something for a quiet evening...
It certainly has the popularity, the number of listens is large, especially for the title track. But I don't get how this is a must-listen album, was bored to death 3 songs in. If you enjoy this vibe, try Sarah McLachlan's "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy", there's more of a payoff.
Balladen, Schöne Musik, schöne Stimme
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
Fav tracks: Chemtrails Over the Country Club Dark But Just A Game White Dress _____ never heard this fully so this is nice to do. White Dress: she squeak. good start i like it. Chemtrails Over The Country Club: love. Tulsa Jesus Freak: the production is a choice. idk how i feel. Let Me Love You Like A Woman: i like this but wtf does it sound like? another lana song but idk what... Wild at Heart: Eh its okay. Dark But Just A Game: love thiis. every part of it reminds me of something else though. but it's cool i like it. Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost: god the chorus lyrics are straight out of tumblr. Yosemite: someone you loved lewis capaldi + Breaking Up Slowly: don't mind this it's okay. Dance Till We Die: meh. For Free: mmmmeeehhh.
I realise that monotone sad girl crooning is Lana’s thing but a whole album of it is just bland
Pool
listened to again smooth and silky
Firstly, I am objecting to this album's inclusion on the list for one reason, that it released too recently IMO. Feel like there should be a minimum of 5 years wait after an album releases before it gets added. Even in the rare case when an album comes out of the gate that's a clear instant classic (Nevermind, for example), waiting five years won't kill it. 99% of the time, there's no way you can judge an album's impact or influence on release. And this album got added in the 2021 edition too, so went on immediately. That said, still a great record, and Lana Del Rey definitely belongs on the list eventually. I slightly prefer Norman Fucking Rockwell!! as far as Lana albums go, but this still has great tracks. Breaking Up Slowly is great. Dance Till We Die has a fun little portion towards the end that breaks up the slow/chill vibe in a good way. Not a ton to say about it though, it's just good.
Her voice is pretty, she has an interesting way of including American pop culture into somewhat deep lyrics. But as an album its just too much. Too much breathiness, to much melancholy, too much slow guitar, too much complaining about nothingness, just to much of everything. Also when you really listen to the lyrics they are not that deep or earth shattering. She just sings them with such a pretty sad emotional voice everyone thinks she is talking about such deep things. Breaking up Slowly was my favorite song, because of Nikki Lane, not Lana. I don't know if this all a defense mechanism, saying I like all the bad and then bragging about all the great things you have going on. For me its just whiny in an entitled way, not really deep or emotional. Just I have money, I like when my boyfriend drinks so I can do what I want, and I wander because I want to. You can get slightly sucked in but if you listen its just blah
So boring it's almost painful. I didn't especially enjoy the songwriting. Instrumentation is so sparse you might as well put a few pins dropping between the verses because that would be better than these choruses that are totally void of any sort of catchy melody. Maybe I just don't get it. Sometimes an album is pretty bad but in some over the top way to give it some creativity and I'm like "well at least that was different" I'll give it a 2. I'm just saying... At least AKF twigs had interesting sound textures. This is just one boring song after another so it's a special kind of sucks. Wild at Heart? please. this album is so tame it's one big beige lullaby. Not All Who Wander Are Lost. ya. That's a Tolkien quote. I doubt Lana has read a single Tolkien book because none of these songs are about wizards or rings. She just saw it on Instagram. Dance Till We Die? I'd love to but none of these songs are danceable so I guess that just leaves the dieing. Songs as vapid as Chemtrails. For more information, join a Country Club.
Lana Del Rey's music has always kind of annoyed me. I tried to brush that aside to give this an unbiased listen. Conclusion: gag me with a spoon. She's a talented lyricist, but the album feels like one big song that's slow and sad and painful to listen to. It was an excruciatingly long 45 minutes. The only part I found interesting was about 10 seconds of Dance Till We Die around the 3:00 mark. I don't get her appeal. Usually if an album at least sounds like music to me, it gets an automatic 2, but I was incredibly annoyed by the time this was over.
Competently made, but generic, clean and bland. Struggled to get through the entire album. Boring.
I don't think I've listened to this one before, but have no strong feelings about LDR either way. I'm surprised this one was included over NFR though - maybe a bit of recency bias at work here? There are some good songs on here particularly around the middle of the album. But I find the vocals just ok for the most part and the lyrics don't really interest me. Some some of the songs sound quite similar as well, but maybe it's one I'd get into more over time.
A singer I didn't know. I tried to listen to the whole album but I found her voice annoying after a while. Too whiny and sluggish songs. Poor album.
Good singer, unique voice. Some good songs.
I really hated this. I hate her weird whispery voice, it was so boring it was aggravating. Barely any sound at all. Blech.
I really like Lana Del Rey but was initially surprised this album made the cut over Norman Fucking Rockwell. However, it was better than I remembered - I like the slight country twist she puts on her usual schtick - so now I just think they both should have been included.
The entire album is just a light airy voice slowly singing over a soft beat. Hard to even tell where one song ends and another song begins. Pretty much the definition of background music. Dark But Just A Game has a nice part in the middle, as does Dance Till We Die. Best song: Dance Till We Die
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.
Not sure this album deserves to be on the list, especially as it was released a couple of years ago. The album is somewhat monotonous, all of the songs sound similar since they hardly feature any melodies, chord progressions or rhythm. The whole album feels like the same simple ballad. The vocals themselves also aren't that impressive to me, since they are heavily produced and feature several effects. Having said this, the album is not terrible, some songs are fun to listen to and feature more music than the others.
Her voice is interesting, but not my thing.
Favorite Track: Let Me Love You Like A Woman
Yeah, I like Taylor and Billie and Olivia and them just fine, but I don’t like the high pitched breathy thing… and that’s all Lana does. Also, way too soon to be on this list. Come back when you’re older, sweetie.
I always think I like Lana's songs when they first come on, but infallibly feel irritated by the breathiness by the end of the track. She's a good songwriter but I don't enjoy the general vibe.
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?
Tedium
There's definitely a couple songs on here that I see myself returning to. Really nailed that slow, chilled mood
I've been typically lukewarm on Lana Del Rey, although sometimes the big sweeping songs like "Ride" have swept me up. So I've never listened to a full album of hers until now. This was very impressive. Her voice was interesting as she moved from the highs to the lows. I'm still not convinced she's a good singer, but many of my favourite singers aren't technically good singers. The music and the production of some of the songs is nuanced and subtle, but still engaging. And the inclusion of "For Free", not exactly the best-known Joni Mitchell song, made me emotional. A fantastic conclusion to the album, tying together the themes and subjects of the songs that came before.
Voice a bit too high and broken for me v
I liked it
If clinical depression was an album, then this is it. Why is this woman always moping about? I was surprised that 1 - she made this list, and 2 - that it was this album. I don't like Lana but even I've heard of NFR and Born To Die. I'd never heard of this one Unfortunately Lana is not for me, unless she stops mumbling and perks up a bit. This was so boring and monotonous. I only enjoyed 1 song, and 'enjoyed' is pushing it She should write songs about her life in the swamp, married to the alligator man. At least then it would be more interesting than whatever this was 2 ⭐️
A very pleasant beautiful album. Based in its genre - Folk / Country Folk / Americana - I didn't think that I would like it, but I did.
Excellent
Did not capture my attention. Pleasant, but dull and drony. I'm not a fan of the "very quiet lady" genre of music.
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.
Basically one lullaby after another. I need some more coffee before I listen to another Lana del Rey album. The whispery and mumbly vocals got annoying after a while. Every song sounded the same, I can't distinguish between them at all. Exact same tone, peace and subject matter.
Boring really, forgot it was playing
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'
I liked it a lot. In fact, I think I liked every song on the album. Nothing groundbreaking or revolutionary but just a pleasant experience. I have found that I really enjoy americana. I'll have to dig into the lyrics more but so far - 4/5!
Sad white girl music - this is what I wanted Tortured Poets Department to be.
Nice voice, but not a fan of whimpering.
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
Disappointed with this one. I listened to some hit singles of hers before which I liked, but this album was a boring monotonous slog to get through. The lyrics don't feel strong enough to carry the very sparse instrumentation and the songs might as well all be interchangable. There's no real joy to be found here. I suppose its quite a pretty album with a clear aesthetic and there are some nice moments, but overall its way too drab and boring for me to like it.
Surprised that this is the Lana Del Rey album they picked. Regardless I enjoyed it and she has definitely been influential for that sad indie pop sound
ok I’m actually into it
I feel like I should like Lana Del Rey more than I do. Just a bit dull really
I can kinda see why Lana Del Rey has a following; thought it was ok. All of her songs do kinda sound the same, though, but I've heard much worse. 7/10.
I guess she's popular because she's pretty
Iconic but not life-changing
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.
Another slightly baffling and frustrating modern pick. For my money LDR is one of the most distinctive, consistent and best artists of the last 15 years so absolutely deserves representation on the list, it’s just that there are about 4 albums of hers I’d choose over this one. ‘Chemtrails’ is big on gentle, meditative reflections and pretty acoustic songs, but contains little of the cinematic melodrama/stately orchestral beauty/ genre-melding hip-hop beats/noirish mythologising of America that various of her other releases excel in. I'll still give it a generous rating though, mainly because the first two tracks are among my favourites of hers. 3.5 / 4
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...
This was extremely boring. Is this music for people who think saying damn is extremely daring? Is this why Gen Z is the least interesting generation?
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
Do not dig this artist at all
6.7/10
Pretty good.
Nice enough. this whole Chappel Roan Sabrina carpnter Lana Del Ray things bleeds together for me
Mmmm really don't know why this made the list...
Not even Lana’s best album but still an easy 5 stars, love her voice and the atmosphere of the music
meh, not really my thing, kinda boring
Started and finished strong, plenty of bangers. The middle few songs were pretty dreary, I guess that's her style but I simply didn't have the appetite for a full album of it. Melancholic
Pretty good, she has 3 better albums than this though
How is this on the list?
If I listened to it a couple more times I’d bet it’d be a 4 star
Not good. LDR ain't my jam. 1.5/5
liked this far more than I expected
gay gay toxic lesbian shit fucking whatever. her vocabulary was, like, whatever.
I just don't understand Lana. I tried it twice but it's so... sterile? boring?
Beautiful voice and production.
Beautiful song writing with dark vibey atmosphere
Mellow but enjoyable.
Good album. Pretty songs and vocals. I dislike that most artists, and particularly female artists, only seem to sing about relationships and sexual attractions in a majority of their songs. There is so much more to the human experience and the world. After the eleventh song about heartbreak or a partner and their relationship, I’ve lost interest and no matter how lovely the voice or how different the melody the song is lost on me.
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.
A wonderfully beautiful soundscape It's really really good. Taylor Swift owes this girl money because she's been directly lifting stuff from this album for years
My first 2020s record on here. I love Lana and there’s a lot that’s good on this album but it’s far from her best. (Not even the best she put out that year!)
White dress on todella hyvä, samoin Breaking up slowly. Muutkin välissä jees, siellähän oli melodioita. Vaatisi toisen kuuntelukerran, jotta pääsisi sanoihin sisälle, mutta se ei ainakaan mulla nostais arvosanaa.
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
Another one I actually am familiar with, what a treat! I've always mostly enjoyed this album. It is quite subtle in it's beauty and won't hit you over the head with it, but a really nice listen nonetheless. Lana's vocals are incredible here and nearly solely carry the whole record. 8/10
Yes please
Bland & a bit meh
1.5 just not made for me
Sadly, not for me. I think the pieces of a good album are here, but my god it’s tedious. In isolation, perhaps, I would like the odd Lana Del Rey song. But a full album is a slog.
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
A bit of a snooze fest, innit? Now, I love a good pop album but this just ain’t it.
Did not enjoy it at all!
On first listen, BORING. Will give it another pass.
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.
There is obviously a large contingent of the population that enjoys Lana Del Rey. I can't see how this can be in anyone's regular rotation unless they were constantly living in a sea of disappointment and pain. This would only be useful music if I was in a depressive state and wanted to force myself to stay there. Having no expectations going in, I just wasn't impressed. Her voice seems average and she doesn't really have to stretch it since the pace and range of the music is so minimalist. She just puts off an air of indifference and boredom, making it seem as if she really doesn't want to be singing. I was hoping I would hear at least one upbeat song at some point but its just track after track of dejection and melancholia. The album is tiring to listen to and has nearly shut the door on me ever listening to her voluntarily again.
It makes so much sense that she married a Florida alligator wrangler.
This is an alright background listen, but very depressing as your main listen. The album was decent, nothing too exciting, Lana was overall clearly very upset when writing this, and it's a bit meh.
"Norman Fucking Rockwell" and "There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Boulevard" are both unquestionable 5* albums. This one is just a 4.5+. Lana is underappreciated. 4.5+/5
No. I know you are supposed to listen the whole album, but only managed three and a bit. Full of self-inflation and -importance, wannabe deep and thoughtful, in all the wrong ways, for me.
MY BABYYYY I DIDNT EXPECT IT TO BE ON THIS LISt automatic 5 sorry if ur mad chemtrails + dbjag my fav songs
67% Best: Dark But Just A Game; Breaking Up Slowly Must-Hear? Nah. Boring af. Some solid ideas, though
non
bit slow. not for me.
Goed gezongen, mooie nummers, lekker ontspannen.
Ouch, I love Born to Die and this isn't even like half as good as that. If that's on here, expect a 5, but for now Lana has to take a rough rating.
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.
I don't tend to like modern music and this explains it. Maybe it's because I grew up listening to this garbage but it's probably just because it sucks. Boring lyrics, boring instrumentals and WAY too much whispering. I'm glad other people can manage to enjoy it but NOT ME!
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.
- Not my thing
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.
I liked it. Quiet, tender, close. First half of the album was what I really liked. Standouts: White Dress, Tulsa Jesus Freak, Let Me Love You Like A Woman, Dark But Just A Game, and Not All Who Wonder Are Lost.
My first inclination was to give this a 1 star rating because, come on, what is a Lana album doing in this challenge? But I don't completely hate her work, I've listened to some of her albums before, but all of them, including this one, sound like everything Lana is saying sounds fake as hell. The ballads have some good melodies here and there, but overall the songs are slow and boring and don't fit in any everyday situation. Not even the most depressing and lonely times. Her voice makes me sleepy and the harmonies sound empty. Well, my initial inclination remains, 1 star.
Way too laid back for my taste. Did not listen to it all.
4.5
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.
palkon faktaa neidillä
Nun ja. Geht so.
It's hard to get excited by this. It's not bad, it's artful but so damn boring
her spacey vibe is pretty mesmerizing. For a pop super star this is pretty good. 3.5 rounding up
Melancholic, disillusioned, quiet and loud. It speaks to the part of me that yearns for love and mourns from heartbreak. It has a much more well-rounded sound, overall feel and tonality which I really enjoyed.
Sounds flat
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.
