I'm totally obsessed with 'Black Beauty', which is weird because I didn't particularly care for the demo when it leaked.
It's just so fucking beautiful...easily my favorite song on the album.

What a phucking exquisite album.
The way this woman is able to convey emotions into a song is absolutely astounding. She can make you nostalgic for things that haven't even happened to you yet. Another perfect, cohesive album by her.

"Old Money" has to be one of the most beautiful, nostalgic songs, I have ever heard.

My first impression of this is that it's less dynamic than BTD, which had more dramatic and upbeat parts to the album. This album is more subdued, overall, in comparison. Not a bad thing, just different.

Best Buy originally had the deluxe marked at $9.99 but...they goofed and now it's $15.99. No thanks. Even at Target, I think it's 14 or 15 dollars. Despite me needing this album in my life like...last year...I will wait til tomorrow when Newbury Comics has it's 25% all items (including sales items) sale tomorrow. Lana deluxe is only $13.88 there anyway so it will be even cheaper!

I went to Target this morning and had them price match. Best Buy price matches Amazon as well.

Until at least 8:15a central time, which is when I price matched at Target, it was selling for $9.99. Bummer!

She's incredibly fortunate she has fans who are that die-hard that, in the age of bootlegs and stealing music from the Internet, she is able to sell with those prices.

Currently on my second listen--as I suspected, it doesn't put me in the same trance that Born To Die did at all, but I really appreciate the growth in sound here. It's darker, moodier, more raw, and there's an...openness to the music that I'm liking, but it doesn't envelop me in the same way. Still enjoyed it, I just think I'll need to really let it sink in to appreciate it.
"Brooklyn Baby" is my early favorite. Also loving "Sad Girl," "Black Beauty," and "Money Power Glory" in addition to "West Coast" and "Ultraviolence." "Shades of Cool" has grown on me a lot. "Cruel World" seems a bit too mellow to open this particular album.

The 'Shades of Cool' video is really good, but I wish she would stop picking such ugly guys for her videos. I know she loves her daddies, but would it kill her to use an attractive one? Seriously, Lana.
I'm pleased that the album is receiving such positive reviews and is on track to sell so well.

I don't like the album as much as Born to Die, but there are plenty of good songs here.
I'm glad to see she is having a good debut sales-wise.

Just purchased it. More thanks to not having enough time over the past week than anything else, I didn't have a chance to listen to the leak, so tonight's gonna be my first time with this.
I can't even explain how excited I am. It's been a while since I have been this pumped for a new release.

The cd is growing on me in a big way. So many of the songs are just perfect. Oh and I also kind of like that she chooses ugly old dudes for her videos. It is her thing ha ha.
