A bit long, a bit boring. Some lovely moments though (also love that Interlude - give me THAT album). Better than Chemtrails, which always felt like a half-baked afterthought to me.
Everything seems a bit meandering post-NFR to me. Time to recalibrate, maybe.

I like the album. My favorites right now are Arcadia, Dealer, and Thunder.

Everything seems a bit meandering post-NFR to me. Time to recalibrate, maybe. I agree. She’s in a lyrical game all on her own, definitely one of the best songwriters of our time. Vocally, she sounds incredible on this album and doing things w her voice that I haven’t heard before. Musically, it’s def time to try something new. It’s all pretty but I need her to take some chances. I would love to see her hook up w a Dev Hynes or someone who is going to push her sonically out of her comfort zone.

This album sounds like Lana Del Rey trying to do Lana Del Rey. She seems very unrestrained like in her Lizzy Grant demos, but also like she's reaching for the catchier melodies of her first few albums. It's like she's indulging herself and holding herself back at the same time. In a way, it seems like her most authentic album. Not sure if that makes any sense? 😆
I think you could get a truly great album out of this and Chemtrails. I haven't let Blue Banisters percolate enough but it would go something like this:
Arcadia Chemtrails Over The Country Club Let Me Love You Like A Woman Dark But Just A Game Black Bathing Suit Yosemite Living Legend Breaking Up Slowly If You Lie Down With Me Thunder Wildflower Wildfire

I'm having a difficult time appreciating this as an entire body of work when my favorite songs have already been out from anywhere between five months and three years lol
So there's no more to say about that!

On the first listen, it's better than Chemtrails but doesn't come close to NFR. "Dealer" and "Thunder" are my early favorites.

The album is a slow grower for me. I was a little disappointed when it was released but I keep coming back frequently and I keep finding new things I like. Curious to hear opinions from our resident Lana fans like Active Aggressive dbhmr adamalterlago or others. By the way, Lana + Dev Hynes is a match made in heaven. Would love to see it.

Love the album but definitely need more time with it. I think when I got it, I got several other CDs at the same time that were more instant, but as Sweet Caroline was playing, it reminded me how Lana is one of my favorite artists because of her consistency. She knows who she is as an artist and doesn't deviate far from that, which works in her favor. Also, this might be her best vocal album.

Sweet Caroline is my latest discovery. Agree about vocally, this is probably her best.

I immediately liked this more than Chemtrails, but it's still not up to her best IMO. I need to spend more time with it though, I've only given it a couple of spins.

Thanks for tagging me, I keep forgetting to give this a spin. I'm kinda surprised at how much Chemtrails sapped my excitement for this, but I've also been distracted by Kacey/Kelly/Adele. I'll get on it this weekend!

Ok I am listening to BB all the way through for the first time since the day it came out. All the songs sort of blended together.
Can y'all tell me why the INTERLUDE is the most upbeat, cool production she's had in years?!?!
Dealer, Thunder, Arcadia, and Black Bathing Suit are awesome!

Born To Die came out 10 years ago today (in Europe, and was released in other markets in the following days). Music has not been the same since.
