    I really liked the album. She's gets super personal on it. She addresses a lot issues here. My favorite tracks are A&W, candy necklace, fishtail, peppers, taco truck ×VB, Jon batiste interlude and Paris, taxes.

    This is the truly essence of Lana Del Rey. A diary about her entire life, her family issues. She talks about it with open heart and animalzinho production. She is more mature than ever here.

    Such a great album only coming from the greatest songwriting of this century. The encapsulation of Lana Del Rey’s eras into this album was definitely what made it such a strong contender in her discography. It literally takes the listener on a journey that feels like a tunnel and they find the light towards the end.

    This is not her best work, but is still a pleasant enough listen. Some highlights include the titled track and The Grants.

    Wordy, poetic, thought-provoking and deeply deeply personal. Definitely a story heavy album. Every second of it is pure delight.

    Sem dúvida um dos melhores álbuns da Lana, superou meus álbuns favoritos como o Ultraviolence e se tornou meu queridinho.
    Um álbum repleto de ritmos diferentes, com um lado pessoal da Lana onde em algumas músicas podemos sentir como se fosse uma carta aberta, já em outras músicas sentimos a emoção de uma Love Song.

Em tempos que a indústria musical se prende à músicas básicas com letras rasas, Lana Del Rey prova mais uma vez ser uma artista completa e reafirma sua voz como a maior cantora-compositora do século em um álbum que aborda como temática principal a necessidade que ela sente de prosseguir com a sua carreira, não pela indústria, mas por toda a sua linhagem familiar.… Expand

    We've heard Lizzy Grant and Lana Del Rey sing before, but this is the first time we hear Elizabeth Woolridge Grant. Lana has reached a point in her career where she doesn't need to make up stories to sing her songs, her reality is interesting enough, the proof of that is "Fingertips". It's a cohesive album, with deep lyrics and exactly pleasant melodies, starting with a gospel style,We've heard Lizzy Grant and Lana Del Rey sing before, but this is the first time we hear Elizabeth Woolridge Grant.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m at a loss of words, i’ve been a fan of lana since her debut album dropped, this album is really the cherry on top of the cake. It took me two listens to really grasp the album together and it’s mesmerizing. One of my favorites has to be the long track, “Father Please Stand On The Shoulders Of My Father While He Deep Sea Fishes” Such a masterpiece. 10/10 album. People who disagree clearly don’t understand it or haven’t given it a chance. … Expand

    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.
