    This is a beautiful album. The production and instrumentals throughout is stunningly high quality and it experiments with different sounds and styles throughout. It makes you feel like you’re in the 70’s at some points and an old Hollywood movie at others.

    A beautiful collaborative album from Lana Del Rey and Jack Antonoff. Breathy layered vocals, beautifully played piano riffs and rock guitar guitar solos will transport listeners to hot California beaches

    **** amazing!!!! listening to this album in the shower while it’s dark is therapy! this album is top next to ultraviolence although all her work is art. the only flaws in the album are the opening instrumental to how to disappear and the lyric change in next best american record. other than that it’s perfect

    Well, another masterpiece from this girl that I love. The album makes me feel so strange in a good way like The Greatest and also in a sad way in some tracks like California, and I like how she can travel through some different emotions in this album more than the other ones.

    Lana has always been my muse when my inspiration is running out and this album also slays! The consolation and serenity it brings make whole world pause for her, and We should do nothing better but to support her. The adivice is that someone including her fans should stop rating low score purposely for Lana and all u guys should do is streaming it getting to know what is the real masterpiece.

    While this album is lyrically Lana at her finest, Jack Antonoff’s and Rick Nowell’s productions make sure to bring this album to its deserving status as a contender for Album of the year. At no point in the album does the production seem too over the top compared to Lana’s vocals and the production has made sure to embellish Lana’s voice instead of taking the attention away from it. EvenWhile this album is lyrically Lana at her finest, Jack Antonoff’s and Rick Nowell’s productions make sure to bring this album to its deserving status as a contender for Album of the year. At no point in the album does the production seem too over the top compared to Lana’s vocals and the production has made sure to embellish Lana’s voice instead of taking the attention away from it. Even when the production does seem to take the attention away, we get a masterpiece like Venice Bit*h where the psychedelic synths get their own lime light as Lana intimates her harmonies. The best track of the album is highly debatable. California is a song that even Antonoff could not hypothetically deliberately besmirch given its classic Lana formula of the poignant nostalgia compounded with her signature sadcore voice and lyrics. Cinnamon Girl with its subliminal beats and a delicately puissant outro can easily be put in the top tier of all the songs released this year. The Next Best American record, a run-away ‘Lust for life’ track is worthy of its title and coalesces the general sound of both the albums with absolute dovetail. Doing Time, a cover of the memorialized Sublime track, is sure to not fail the original and is one of the only tracks on the album that Lana has allowed herself to sing in an upbeat melody. Mariner’s Apartment Complex, the first introduction to the then-unnamed record, was and continues to be a song that encapsulates the general production of the album = music to listen to while you drive off into the sunset. Happiness is a butterfly is a track which, like Norman **** Rockwell, the title track, finds Lana at her most assertiveness taking the steering wheel of the relationship and speaking up to the subject of the songs which she, arguably, has never done in her previous records. The greatest, a standout among standouts, with the first guitar chord being struck is bound to compel the listeners to vicariously reminisce their own lives as Lana does and also have a political conscience of accepting whats happened and moving ahead with the change of times. Hope is a dangerous thing, released well before the album, is a song for the generation that has grown up to and with Lana’s repertoire. With a simple piano progression, Lana moans over the life she lives and the life she could have but ultimately resigns to the facts of life and clings on to hope, which is paradoxical to her way of life, as the only thing that has and always will be her guilt and boon. The 2 songs: Bartender and How To Disappear seem to be the only two songs that don't quote match up to the prodigal attributes of all the other songs on the record. The former inundated with references ranging from ladies of the canyon to Crosby, Stills and Nash seems lyrically too ambiguous. Ironically, she has been sober for 9 years and ascertains it in the track. But sonically, doesn't seem to fit into the sanguine and placid energy of the entire record. How to disappear, though lyrically a masterpiece, doesn't quite seem to be coherent with the production and while the live acoustic performance of the song raised hopes for the song, the production is nothing short of a let down. But, to end this review on a highly positive note, ‘Love Song’ and **** it I love you” are the last tracks on this review. Live song, with the enthralling strings and the soft piano accentuate the delicate poetry that Lana’s song-writing is. “In your car, I’m a star, and I’m burning through you” almost whispered so subtly, can only make the anticipation for the upcoming poetry book much more unbearable. And with F*ck it I love you”, the only song apart from Doin Time, spends part of its run time with mellow instrumentals and part of its run time with Lana declaring F*ck it” to the trademark Antonoff synths and strings. The song delves into dark imagery juxtaposed by neon delivered with multitudes of Lana’s vocal styles, ranging from the high note deliveries to an almost mumbling singing. Over all, the album ranks above Ultra-violence only because of the emphasis on Lana’s vocal mastery and ingenuity is much more limpid in comparison on this album. So yes, it is the most intimate, personal, mature and beautiful record on Lana’s repertoire and most definitely one of the most prolific albums in the alternate scene this year.… Expand

    Things inevitably drift, but beneath the surface in the best songs there is a toughness and a newfound resilience.

    It's a remarkably sharp pop record that retains her fascination with pop-culture iconography and the rosey simplicity of a post-war America where classic rock and blue jeans ruled and takes them to much deeper places. ... Think of it as an hour-long car ride peeling down the highway with classic rock blaring out of the radio and no real destination in mind other than where your impulsive nature might take you.

    A thematically rich record, heavy on mood and elegantly written in a way that positions Del Rey between Eve Babitz and Carole King. There are beguiling and evolving melodies underneath the spare piano and acoustic arrangements. [Nov 2019, p.24]
