gagaisitalian 3,573 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I care and it's nice to see someone who has the same 3 least favorites as I do. I really do like Swan Song, I just have to see how much it grows on me. And Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood is only in the bottom because it's a cover, so I don't really appreciate it as much as the others. And 24 is beautiful, but doesn't strike me as anything special. Freak and The Blackest Day are just so freaking good. Hands down gotta be some of her best songs ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the "white tennis shoes/follow me" parts of Swan Song, but the rest doesn't grab me. I have a hard time staying focused on those 3 songs. They kind of just pass by in a blur for me. I think my expectations for DLMBM were too high. I love Nina's version and Lana has produced some amazing covers in the past (Goodbye Kiss and Chelsea Hotel No. 2). I mean it's still cute and I'm happy she got to record one of her favorites, but it personally doesn't move me at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Draco 2,531 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I know we're all hyping over Honeymoon, but look what I finally picked up today Been wanting to display the TPE vinyl in my room forever Omg that looks so beautiful! I own the seperate versions on cd, but maybe I should get this. My record player is missing the band tho so I need to replace that first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie 5 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 So the New Bond film, SPECTRE, will be the 24th Bond film..."24" sounds like a Bond theme song...Bond theme songs always somehow relate to the film...TWENTY FOUR...What if Lana WAS in the running for the theme, made this track, Sam was chosen over her, and so she just put it on the album?

FFXSoul91 1,088 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 1. Honeymoon: 9/10Love the powerful strings and the swaying harmonies. The theme of escapism is great. I definitely think it sets the stage well for the album ahead-- A lush opening track for a very lush album.2. Music to Watch Boys to: 9/10This song is sensual and creeping. It gives me a sort of stalker vibe. It's seductive and dangerous, much like a siren.3. Terrence Loves You: 9/10I feel like Lana is singing to an alien lover here because of the high pitched, space-like noises that appear throughout the track and the sound of the melody, which for some reason reminds me a bit of the main theme of E.T. Overall, the song is an emotional high-point for the album with soaring vocals and a lovely piano-based instrumental.4. God Knows I Tried: 8/10This song has a great, classic '60s western blues feel to it. The vocals are very lovely, but I do get tired of the repetition of the song title towards the end of the song.5. High by the Beach: 10/10I still really love the sound of this song. There's a degree of sass and venom that is only really found here on the album. The trap sound over the dreamy vocals and funeral procession-esque synths is unique.6. Freak: 10/10The s-xiest song on the record. The guitars during the chorus are excellent and the overall production is just fabulous.7. Art Deco: 9/10This song has the best blend of trap and jazz on the album. The instrumental is absolutely beautiful and interesting. Of all the songs on the album, I feel like this one calls back to Born to Die the most.8. Burnt Norton (Interlude): 8/10The dream-like sounds and Lana's beautiful speaking voice reciting T.S. Eliot's poem make for an excellent interlude.9. Religion: 10/10The beat of this song is great and the lyrics are beautiful. I feel like Lana is singing about her relationship with music here. This is by far my most unexpected favorite.10. Salvatore: 10/10I love the Italian sound of the instrumental and Lana's heavenly vocals as they swirl over the melody. The lyrics are a bit strange, but it just makes the song seem more mysterious. Someone on LanaBoards (I don't recall who) said it sounds a bit like Lolita's older, more sophisticated sister and I think that description is perfect.11. The Blackest Day: 10/10This song has a lot going on and it utilizes it all well. The tale of heartbreak proceeds with a tone of hopelessness and then shifts gears with a more assertive sound once you reach the "deeper and deeper..." section of the song. It reminds me a bit of Summertime Sadness with a more edgy, rocky vibe.12. 24: 9/10A very jazzy, Bond theme sounding song. I love the melody of the chorus and how it progresses in intensity towards the end of the song.13. Swan Song: 9/10Here the album returns to the theme of escapism that was brought about in the opening track. I love the sample of High by the Beach at the beginning. The orchestra is also great here.14. Dont Let Me Be Misunderstood: 8/10This is definitely the weakest track on the album, but it works well as a closing track and sounds almost like a plea from Lana to whoever is listening. The synths and the subtle production are very nice.Overall: 9/10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
