    Emotionally raw from start until end, this album shows the aspects of your life you need to heal. Lana shows she's been there, and is there with you, and can mournfully help you heal.

    AMAZING! If you don’t like it, try listening again in a quiet, reflective space. This album really makes you think about Lana’s journey as an artist and altogether is more like spoken word poetry than pop, alt, or indie music. I’m so proud of her and can’t wait for her new poetry book and future albums!

Del Rey, de fato conseguiu o que ela queria nos passar, que era seus mais íntimos sentimentos , suas letras se tornam poesias cantadas que nos fazem retornar ao passado, em uma época onde os amores venciam, sejam eles fracassados ou não, acompanhados de uma coca cola, sentados em um hotel de beira de estrada e vendo o tempo passar.
    Os instrumentos que vão de um sopro à uma imitação de guitarra, na 13º faixa, intitulada Living Legend, onde, Del Rey relata a forma como as atitudes de seu amado às levam para o céu.
    Dealer , faixa 9º é a mais extravagante e volumosa do álbum, seus gritos em canto são como um suspiro de clamor por atenção.
    Thunder , 10º faixa , é a mais tocante do álbum, com a melhor letra e melodia, a harmonização dos instrumentos com a voz da cantora é surreal.

    She’s done it again!
    Two amazing albums released in the same calendar year. Some of her best unreleased songs are now public releases and work so well to fit the vibe of this album. Black bathing suit was a stand out song for me, that tempo change and the backing vocals make the song truly unique. The whole album from top to bottom has such beautiful vocals and melodies. We are so lucky

    Honestly, there's only 2 or 3 good songs on this album (good, not masterpieces or amazing songs, just good). I've heard all of her albums and this one is very boring, it doesn't have atmosphere or beautiful poetry or nice, dark and catchy sounds, it's very "meh". This is her worst year in music, I love her and I really hope she recovers her magic.

Some parts of the album seem so random but it fits in so perfectly.

The album is just great overall and I’ve been listening to it on repeat. Expand

Also, she's not putting anyone but herself, like she's finally come to the point where she is who she is and it's fine with it and no one gets to change that because that's what makes her different, individualistic speaking, like in "Beautiful". I'm glad that she's is happy
