I’ll have my list within the next hour or so! I was going to try sending it yesterday before going to see Conan, or even afterwards when I got home, but wound up getting sick from the copious amounts of energy I spent having fun   and then just going straight to bed. Thank you so so much for waiting for me

The album could have done without this interlude. At least with the Jon Batiste Interlude there's some decent instrumentation, this is just completely boring and unneeded. It pauses the decent flow of the album prior to this track.

I don't mind this one compared to the other interlude. It fits well alongside Candy Necklace.

It's fine lyrically but there is no replay value in this one in my opinion. Kind of goes on too long.

Fishtail is cute but kind of goes nowhere. I do like the chorus, it gets stuck in my head sometimes. Condelences to Gabe for losing his #1.

[born]

These songs make sense for bottom 4 but I’m curious to see what’s next. “Taco Truck” perhaps?

Kintsugi feels like Fingertips if it was more melodic. I like this one and it was one of my early favorites when the album dropped. Some of the other tracks have grown on me more since then, but I still do enjoy this.

Peppers is something different for Lana that I enjoy pretty well. I can understand why some may not enjoy it but it's a fun track. Join me tomorrow for #10 through #6!

[schnetzka]

Not my favorite Lana album but still enjoyable nonetheless.

Really like this track, especially with how much I love the original "Venice Bitch." The transition is great and I love the new production on the VB side of the song.

Margaret was one of the songs that grew on me a lot over time. Love the calmer and peaceful vibe of this song if that makes sense, it's such an endearing song. Condolences to Samo for losing their #1.

Candy Necklace was instant for me when the album dropped. Really like the contributions from Jon Batiste here and Lana sounds great. Love that sped up piano during the song too.

Paris, Texas is a solid track but not one of my absolute favorites, which I know is an unpopular opinion. Still shocked a bit to see this get all the way to #6. Join me tomorrow for the reveals of the top 5!

these results have been all over the place for me but also I am not too surprised

[• Господин Умљеновић •]

I mean we all know A&W will be #1
But losing my #2 & 3 before top 5

Like which other songs?

This was an early favorite for me when the album dropped, it's a pretty instant track. Some of the other tracks have grown on me slowly overtime, pushing this down in my rankings a little bit.

One of my favorite intros ever from Lana. I think the lyrics work really well with the choir. This was a #1 SMASH on my personal chart last year (alongside A&W and Did You Know... of course).

THis is simply gorgeous. I think the two of them work really well together vocally and its become one of my favorites from the album. This went semi-viral on TikTok too last year.

The title track of this album is pretty good. It's definitely one of her more accessible tracks but it really works. That final chorus really makes the song in my opinion.

This was the obvious winner. Both parts of this song work super well, especially the second half being different from anything she's done before. One of the best songs of 2023 and her second best track behind "Venice Bitch" for me.

[schnetzka]

Yeah, it was no surprise what song was going to win but it's nice to see regardless. Thanks for hosting Mayman.

That wraps up the Lana Del Rey album rankdown series! Thanks to all who participated over the last year, it was fun going through her entire discography and revisting so many great songs.

[willapted33]

thanks for hosting this series mayman! A&W is a perfect winner, one of her best ever songs

[wrip]

Kinda annoying that Let The Light In lost the tie to the title track, they are just on 2 different levels. A&W was the obvious winner but it's a great song so I'm not complaining!

Thanks for hosting this series Mayman! It's been really cool getting to dive into her albums more
