Lana Del Rey: Album RDs (Ocean Blvd reveals)

The "demos" of Freak and God Knows I Tried that were posted a couple years back >

[gabe]

Oh wow, definitely surprised to see Freak this low. I probably would have ranked it a little lower if not for the transition into Art Deco, I can’t listen to one without the other lol

Yes, Freak demo is much better than album version.
Here while I did the rankdown I posted other of my fav versions... Like Lust for life versions are 100 times better than album

Shocked that this made the top 10. I thought this was a lock for bottom 3, but there's clear support here. I enjoy this album but this is another one I don't return to much.

Religion is a huge grower. I love this one, she sounds amazing. This wasn't in contention for my #1, but I had to get it in my top 5.

The last song that I'm not huge on from this album, but she sounds good here which helped it escape my bottom 3.

[wrip]

I’m kind of surprised Religion wasn’t higher considering it’s one of like 2 songs that are actually memorable here LMAO… this album was not it

Another song that has grown on me and it ended up higher on my list than I thought. Glad it was able to make the top half.

The lyricism here is so interesting and I enjoy it. I love the vocal production especially during the chorus. Join me tomorrow afternoon for the rest of the reveals (#5 through #1)!

Those results aren't good at all btw. "Art Deco" & "Religion" were lovely discoveries.

Terrence Loves You is just so good. Choosing which songs were gonna be where in my top 3 was so hard, this definitely was in contention for my #1. She sounds amazing and the vocal production makes the whole song. The way she can so clearly represent the lyrics with her tone of singing in this song makes it one of my favorites from her.

The only song to debut at #7 and #51 on the Hot 100 in the same week. I do really like High By The Beach and love how catchy it is. I think the bridge is the best part for sure. I'm shocked at some of the lower rankings for this to be honest.

[samo🦕]

TLY is one of like 2 songs i really remember from this album, not sure why HBTB beat it

Honeymoon is a great intro, although I'm (pleasantly) shocked at the amount of #1s it got! Maybe I'm wrong but it has this jazzy element that makes me really enjoy it.

Music To Watch Boys To is another pretty accessible song from this album. Feels like the perfect song to listen to on a hot beach day. I'm glad this didn't end up winning over...

Yeah this had to be my #1. It's Lana at her best, full of memorable moments and some great lyrics. It helps that this song is over 6 minutes long, so every part is fully fledged without getting too long.

[born]

Good winner! It’s good to see a (longer) album cut take the crown.

[Mayman]

Lust For Life: The Rankdown

Welcome to the Lust For Life rankdown. Lana's next album marked a semi-return to form for her, returning with elements remiscent of her Born To Die days. While her previous two studio albums contained lots of dream pop and chamber pop influences, this one has more elements of alt-pop and even trap. With quite a variety of collaborations including The Weeknd, Playboi Carti, A$AP Rocky, Stevie Nicks, and Sean Ono Lennon, this album is quite all over the place sonically, but has lots of gems. The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 and had minor success with it's first two singles, "Love" and "Lust For Life."

Rank each song from favorite (#1) to least favorite (#16) and send your list to me (@/mrmayman) by Thursday, February 8 at 11:59pm.

Interesting top 3. And top 5.


And now comes the album that has 2 of my favorite Lana songs! And I do not think these 2 will ever change no matter what she may release in the future.

[Mayman]

9 days left to send! I hope to see more lists come in soon. Thanks to God and Gabe for the first lists.

I know we talked earlier but responding to let others know I'll accept lists into tonight if needed! Just let me know

[Mayman]

Submissions are closed. We ended up with 11 lists, which is lower than I hoped but like I said before, I think there will be more interest with NFR up next (I'll do more reminders next time around too, I know I slacked with those this time around). Thanks to Schnetzka, Renoir, Wrip, Will, Wojop, Samo, BB, and Indulge for the lists! Reveals will be starting in around an hour so stay tuned!

Coachella - Woodstock In Mind I have always found a little overhated. I understand the dislike for it but something about it sticks with me. The lyrics are a little goofy but otherwise I enjoy it.

In My Feelings is one of the more accessible songs on the album, but I think the chorus falls a little flat. It's not terrible but I think it's one of the weaker moments on the album.

[willapted33]

I didn’t really dislike anything here but I’d say my bottom 5 or so are pretty forgettable. IMF was cute

This is one of the handful of songs on the album that I really just cannot remember unless I'm actively listening to it. I do like the "is it the end of an era" section and the chorus is alright.
