Mine:

1. Born To Die is her best album

2. Chemtrails Over The Country Club her best song

3. Ride her best music video

4. Honeymoon it's not that good

It takes a smart brunette to play a dumb blonde.

* Chemtrails Over the Country Club is underrated  (a lot of people seem to rank it as her worst). When I first heard it, I thought it was kind of meh...nothing stood out to me like with her previous albums. But it grew on me and I now appreciate the cohesive nature, the melodies, the excellent songwriting, etc. Dark but Just a Game, Dance Till We Die, and Chemtrails are three of the best songs she's ever created imo.

*The vocals on White Dress are....not great. I understand what she was going for, but it didn't work imo. 

*Ultraviolent is overrated. It's innovative in some ways and there are very interesting production choices. It also has several excellent tracks...but it also features some of her worst songwriting...some of it sounds like a 17 year old trying to sound wise on instagram. Sad Girl is beautiful, but the whole sad rhyming bad and the "who do you think you are" is just...not it.

*Sweet Carolina > Hope is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman like Me to Have

*Bartender is lyrically perfect

*Lana has a much better voice than people give her credit for. She's obviously not on Ariana, Gaga, Beyonce, etc.'s level but she can hold her own. Songs like Dealer do her no favor, though. Her voice suits songs like Shades of Cool, Bartender, etc. far better.

Florida Kilos is one of the best songs of her whole discography

I also love Florida Kilos but I've never seen anyone else say that! I feel like the bonus tracks on Ultraviolence are better than a lot of the tracks on the album.

Return your stan card please :koons: Chemtrails is such a flawless album and the perfect follow-up to NFR. Blue Banisters is about ordinary daily life, pandemics, family… it’s not supposed to be a huge production. It’s a cute album and its got some gems

Lust for life is her only bad record.

 

honeymoon, Ultraviolence, and COCC are her best records

 

NFR is also one of the best albums ever

 

born to die shaped todays alternative/indie scene

 

without Lana, Halsey wouldn’t exist

- She could really use a good stylist/creative direction team, most of her looks are really boring and unflattering when she could look amazing 24/7.

- Interscope is not a good label for her, they seem to not promote her or give her good promotion for her albums/projects.

- NFR is kind of overrated, yes it's an amazing album however it's less distinct than her previous work.

- She should never work with Jack Antoff again.

Say yes to heaven is better than her past 2 albums and one of her best songs 

Gods and Monsters is the best song on Paradise 

She should do more videos referencing movies like Doin Time
