    This is such a masterpiece touching my heart. Nobody can deny her vocals are amazing. She sings with her soul and I can 100% feel it.

    Este es probablemente el mejor trabajo discográfico de Lana Del Rey en años, sus sonidos nos recuerdan sus epocas en las qie era bien recibida comercialmente peeo poco aclamada por la crítica de manera injusta. Peppers, Taco Truck X VB, Sweet, Paris, Texas y Let The Light in son canciones que pasaran a la posteridad por su calidad y por todo aquello que nos recuerda.

    this is the best example of lana being herself and doing her poetry, not for tiktok/charts but because she likes it.

    Uma explosão artística de uma das maiores compositoras do século. Lana caminha entre o terno e profano de uma forma singular, o misto de sentimentos ouvindo esse álbum é inevitável. Em DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE'S A TUNNEL UNDER OCEAN BLVD Del Rey abre a porta das suas lembranças, dores e desejos. É um grito de liberdade em direção ao caos.

    Simplesmente perfeito como sempre. Sempre acho que ela não vai se superar, mas ela sempre vem e se supera. É muito bom ser fã de um ser iluminado assim.

    The album is an ode to Lana's past, present and future. Her most intimate work thus far. Once again she's proven why she's considered the the greatest American songwriter of the 21st century.

    This album is perfect. The way she uses the metaphor of the “tunnel” throughout the whole album is incredible, especially for how “messy” and experimental it is. She begins the album not hopeful and very sad and dark and then transitions to this idea of “letting the light in” and light in general. (Light at the end of the tunnel) Then, she ends with upbeat, happy feel good songs and aThis album is perfect. The way she uses the metaphor of the “tunnel” throughout the whole album is incredible, especially for how “messy” and experimental it is. She begins the album not hopeful and very sad and dark and then transitions to this idea of “letting the light in” and light in general. (Light at the end of the tunnel) Then, she ends with upbeat, happy feel good songs and a reworked version of one of her most iconic songs ever. It perfectly resembles a journey through a tunnel. It’s amazing. She is the best songwriter ever. The lyrics about life and death are so intense but so intriguing. It is so personal to her but yet so relatable to me. I don’t get how she does it. This is her best album, especially lyrically. Instrumentally, the piano carries this album, but even though piano was popular, it still wasn’t an album full of piano ballads. (Not that I would be mad) There were so many fantastically produced songs. It was messy and chaotic but at the same time, every song made sense on this album.… Expand

    Such an honest album with unconventional and flowy tracks which almost feels like a stream of consciousness. This is Lana at her most authentic self. Fingertips is a career highlight and one of its kind with its spoken word like structure. Can't wait to see where she goes from here.

    Lana is really on of a kind. There's NOBODY like her. I would like to remind you that this is her ninth studio album and she still manages to reinvent her sound and aehestic. She was able to pave the way for so many artists, being able to keep her uniqueness that none of them could replicate.
    With this album, for me, she brings her best body of work, since 2019's Norman **** Rockwell.    Lana is really on of a kind. There's NOBODY like her.

    A beautiful masterpiece from Lana, bringing her back to her earlier albums such as Lust For Life and NFR!

    All tracks are beautifully cultivated and arranged in an amazing way, with meaningful lyrics, beautiful production ETC.

    This ninth album by lana takes us into masterful sounds, with her clearest and most angelic voice. Lyrics where she shows us her ability as a writer and poet, where she tells us about her family and her personal feelings, her legacy is her love and her poetry.

    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.

    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.
