  Discography Series: Lana Del Rey #3 Honeymoon Honeymoon : Interesting intro! It seems almost...scary in a way? I'm definitely intrigued. Not sure I'm a mega fan of this song so far with the minimal production. Lana sounds good though. Mostly bored by this song honestly. The 'scary' production coming back is a bit interesting. Definitely not a song for me. Okay, it got a bit better with the marching band type part. This is what I would have wanted more of. Unfortunately, it's a boring song that drags out too much for me. 5 /10 Music To Watch Boys To : Okay, I'm behind this idea. Although whether I'm behind the song...we'll see. The vocal effects are fun with the distant and foreground vocals at the start. Also, is that like...a flute or something? This definitely feels like it has more of a song to it and I'll like it more. I actually like this a fair bit. It's a lowkey bop. She sounds good, the melody and production are greattt. The chorus is g...

  Discography Series: Lana Del Rey #2 Ultraviolence (Deluxe) Cruel World : This gives me somewhat traditional vibes for some reason. I guess it's the production. Is it almost a bit...Western? Not sure if I'm misplacing it. This song is definitely not my favourite overall but I can appreciate it as an intro track to the album. If the album follows similar vibes, I think it's a good intro track. Just less my thing, I guess? 6 /10 Ultraviolence : Title track time. I like the chorus a fair bit, it's kinda catchy (even if a lot of it is one word) and has interesting production elements to it. I'm not sure how to describe that sound in the chorus but I like it. The verses I'm less keen on honestly, it's a bit too stripped back for me. Another of it hits for me to rank it higher than the previous track. 7 /10 Shades of Cool : I thought it was one of the stripped back and sad songs...until it wasn't. Lana sounds great in this song. And the production again is hi...

Discography Series: Lana Del Rey #1 Born to Die (Paradise Edition) Born to Die : I honestly think I'll like this album more than I expected to. Lana's voice fits so well on this production. I like the sorta...grand production to it? The beat throughout definitely adds to it. 7 /10 Off to the Races : I like the production of the intro less, but then I think it got better for me. Yeah, it definitely did. I don't know why I had a certain vision of Lana and it was not this. I really thought all her songs were super slow and depressing and that's not generally my music. The chorus hits! The song uses its run time well as well, it doesn't feel like it overstays its welcome. 8 /10 Blue Jeans : We're going for a different sort of vibe here, maybe? The shouts in the background are fun. I feel for some reason I'm feeling Lana's voice less in this song, but I still think it's good. The later parts of the song hit even more. I'm really surprised at how much ...
