    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

    This is more than an album... this is a deepdive into lanas life, it's so personal it seens like you get a connection of years in one hour. The lyrics give nfr meets ultraviolence meets bb, the production is amazing, it's just one of her best works and definitely her best lyrics

    ¡Que increíble album!

    Se debe ameritar el gran esfuerzo detrás de este, Lana del Rey demuestra una vez más el porqué fue nombrada compositora del año.

    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!

    absolutely amazing and diverse, with haunting and deep ballads and trap songs like Peppers, and Taco Truck X Vb and Fishtail. Also has beautiful indie songs like Margaret and Let the Light in.

    Lana del Rey is quite a character, and this is one of the cornerstones of her development as such, taking us back in time and back again with a chaotic but somehow cohesive rhythms, an album to remember.

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

    MEU DEUS!! Isso aqui é uma obra-prima senhor! Ocean Blvd com certeza é o melhor álbum de Lana, aqui tudo está perfeito, seja a produção, o lirismo ou os vocais. Lana Del Rey se superou e novamente nos provou que é uma compositora e artista incrível. Obrigada Deus por me fazer viver na mesma época que Lanita.

    Love this album. I think it’s the best album she released after NFR, like Chemtrails Over The Country Club and Blue Banisters weren’t that good, but this album is bomb. The only thing I don’t like is the interludes, like what are those for? They’re not music.
    I like the fact that some of her songs are somewhat like the songs from her Honeymoon album, they’re a little more poppy, which I    Love this album.

    Lana has always talked about wanting to turn her life into a work of art, and that’s what she continues to do again and again. Not a single skip on this album.

    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.

    Beautiful album through and through. Best songs are Paris Texas, A&W and Let The Light In!

    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.
