FfFfFfFF 55,968 Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago Follow up to my previous Madonna thread. Like Madonna's albums, I have been listening to Lana's albums for years, so I had lots of space to form opinions and allow for them to change or evolve with time, therefore I now feel pretty confidents in these rankings. Sirens - ⭐⭐⭐★★ beautiful collection of folk songs, touching, strong melodies Lana Del Ray a.k.a. Lizzy Grant -⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ underrated alternative pop-rock masterpiece, playful unique mix of sounds Born to Die - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ cinamatic masterpiece, cultural reset, top notch quality Paradise - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ amazing, lush, powerful melodies and instrumentals Ultraviolence – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐dark masterpiece, stunning blend of psychedelic, hard rock and retro pop Honeymoon – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ spectacular record, lush, serene, magnum opus, incredible melodies and instrumentals Lust for Life – ⭐⭐⭐★★ not perfect, but classic & multiple strong moments Norman ****ing Rockwell! – ⭐⭐⭐★★ has strenghts and weaknesses, not top-notch, somewhat incosistent Chemtrails Over the County Club – ⭐⭐⭐★★ a quiet and hidden gem, gets better with time Blue Banisters – ⭐★★★★ Lana's worst album, unfocused, flat, piano boredom Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd – ⭐⭐★★★ it has its moments, but overall weak and lacking a clear direction, not quite there 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take an album of perfect tracks over subpar songs with stellar bridges (Im looking at you, Sad Girl) You can hate on Jack all you want, but this album is a masterpiece, and I will die on this hill (and later be resurrected by the piano in the beginning of the titular track) if you don't have something nice to say, be mean 2 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versace 7,972 Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago 1-Born To Die - Amazing. Her best. 2-Paradise - Great followup. Solid Ep/album. 3-Ultraviolence - at first sounded like a downgrade but aged well and is solid. 4-Honeymoon - Love at first listen, solid album that merges sounds from albums prior. 5-Lust For Life - her safest record? But overall an enjoyable record. 6-Norman F Rockwell - Overrated imo. Not my thing at all. Every album that came after - Who? What? Do I even care?

Blackout19 11,972 Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago Born to Die - her best album! Paradise - some songs are great Ultraviolence – nice Honeymoon – i like some songs...

Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd – overrated i'm a powerpuff girl. ○● Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clownery 6,476 Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago Ocean Blvd = one of the most beautiful conceptual albums I've heard, her best album to date. NFR = California compressed in mp3, absolutely incredible, her second masterpiece. Ultraviolence = consistent and great production, not very good lyrically but still her 3rd best. I don't care for the rest Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlepotter 75,146 Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago BTD - groundbreaking album, did not age well for me Paradise - some of her most gorgeous songs UV - one of the best bodies of work ever created, untouchable HM - beautiful record, has a feel like no other, bogged down by the cover at the end LFL - was really good at the time, has not aged well at all NFR - i didn't like it as much as everyone else for years, but recently has grown on me and i can see why people think it's her best. it has so much gravitas COCC - my least favorite by so far, i just do not like this album and it was one of the most disappointing first listen ever - especially because the first 2 songs are top 5 in her discography and really set me up BB - i love this album with all my heart, it encapsulates a time for me that i'll cherish forever DYK - her best album, masterpieces left and right chaeri pls Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirrion Rizzons 11,068 Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Born To Die 4.5/5 Timeless, a cultural reset, the BLUEPRINT, bettered with Paradise Ultraviolence 5/5 Lana at her PEAK, honest, gritty, and perfect melancholia Honeymoon 4/5 Confident, smooth, jazzy, and fresh Lust For Life 3/5 Beautiful lyricism, but feels bloated and would be better with the middle act cut. NFR 5/5 A modern masterpiece - UV melancholia but make it even more summery COTCC 4/5 Underrated, grown on me massively over the years. Slick and production is great. Blue Banisters 5/5 Top 3 Lana album, home to some of her best songs. DYKTTATUOB 4/5 Home to some of her saddest and best written songs, love the mix of styles.

FfFfFfFF 55,968 Posted just now Author Share Posted just now So many of you love Blue Banisters, and it came out soon after Chemtrails which I love, why I do not get the album? Is it a grower that takes 5 years+ to enjoy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
