    What a beautiful album! From beggining to end this masterpiece just proves how talented Lana Del Rey is as a lyricist and a singer. The way she can make everything sound so different yet so cohesive never fails to surprise me. Well done Lana you just did it again! Another masterpiece

    In a beautiful shift through Lanas thoughts as a person from low melancholy grand ballads to more upbeat songs like Let the Light in and Margaret to Peppers and Taco Truck this album is everything and more id expect from such a great artist such as Lana Del Rey

    So incredible that I made a count just because everyone should be listening this masterpiece, it's Lana as she's never been seen before, showing herself vulnerable and exploring themes of death, love and legacy. Dare I say it surpasses NFR and we are witnessing a new classic.

    On this album Lana talks about her family, friends and personal experiences as she has never done. The album looks like an open diary where she lets us know things about her childhood and present. The songwriting and production of the songs on it are truly amazing. A 10/10 Masterpiece!

Overall, Ocean Blvd is simply about family, the altual one as well as the one to come. The album is full of many musical surprises, such as the harder-sounding A&W or Peppers, to which you immediately feel like dancing. There are also many beautiful ballads, such as Paris, Texas Candy Necklace or Kintsugi, at which it's hard not to shed a tear. The album closes with Taco Truck x VB, which features a remixed version of Venice **** which perfectly sums up the work that Lana has created. I fell in love with this project, and I can already say that this is one of Lana's best, if not the best album. Expand

    The album exudes Lana Del Rey. The way she lets us into her mind, including talking about dark topics but still making it sound beautiful is a super power. I applaud Lana for doing what she wants to do and not following in the generic footsteps of what society wants. Absolutely brilliant and experimental album with new and old sounds, samples, and magic. A refreshing start to a new era.

    For sure her 2nd best work after NFR!, maybe equally good, just a different vibe. Lyrically she goes deep and sonically she explores, experiments and includes the best from her entire career, from piano ballads to trap beats.

    Um dos melhores álbuns da carreira dela. Soa como uma versão amadurecida do Honeymoon com o Ultraviolence. O álbum é tão intimista que também me trouxe a sensação de estar ouvindo uma versão estendida de Old Money. Eu diria que ela conseguiu explorar todas as suas eras em um único disco. Magnífico.

    This album is one in a million. Brilliant songwriting/story telling, incredible production, and of course amazing vocals. This album will go down as one of the best of this generation.

    She outdid herself again. Lana Del Rey is the best songwriter of this generation.

    Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd is a 16-track, 78-minute album, and some of it will lose even her most ardent fans. Track eight is where it regains itself through the extended metaphor of “Kintsugi”: a Japanese term for a pottery repair technique that calls attention to the crack rather than hides it. .... [After “Margaret”] There are three more tracks, though.

    If you've not already bought into the LDR mythos, it's like joining a long-form TV show midway through its difficult fourth season. [Jun 2023, p.26]

    So while Del Rey is still the same sepia-tinted, sun-soaked American aesthete that she once was, there are real lifetime stamps all over Did you know that conjure a biographical sincerity, instigating a personal closeness.
