Lana Del Rey - Born to Die + Paradise (sync tonight 9pm)

oh, I do too. The sample is also strong in this one.

 

"Million Dollar Man", on the other hand, is gorgeous. So classy, and it is one of her best early live performances (there aren't many).

 

Oh I love it! It's so poppy.

 

Is This Is What Makes Us Girls supposed to be ironic or sexist or both? It was one of my favorites at the time but the lyrics are a bit off. Still a 10 though

 

Forgot "Radio" - a TEN

11 Born to Die
10 Off to the Races

Everything that LDR does is both ironic and sexist.

One of the big recurring criticisms of her first album was that she was seen as being a bit unfeminist generally.

I think Lorde slagged her off on Tumblr

 

I love the TIWMUG dramatic outro with the strings & sample juxtaposition

 

'Without You'
​

 

EVERY TIME.

 

No comment.

 

I love how the majority of the album somehow made it as a single in the most random places on the Earth. Her discogs entry is truly ridiculous.

 

That was Lorde's THING at the time if I remember correctly

 

IS THIS TAYLOR SWIFT?

 

Everything I want, I have
Money, notoriety, and rivieras
I even think I found God
In the flashbulbs of the pretty cameras

One of the best openings ever SURELY

 

For some reason 'Without You' never left a big impression with me but it's really clicking tonight. Top notch stuff! Yes the lyrics are somewhat problematic if taken at face value.

 

"Summertime Sadness" (remix) does STUFF to me that i can't go out and say the album version is superior (although it is) - but that middle eight in the album version is BEYOND

I think I'll miss you forever
Like the stars miss the sun and the morning sky

Late is better than never
Even if you're gone I'm gonna drive...
DRIIIIIIIIIVEEEEE

 

I feel like she had BEEF with Selena Gomez somehow too.

She lightened up when she discovered ROBYN and SADBANGERS.

Of COURSE I'm aware. but oh my God Taylor did steal the chorus note by note.

"This is What Makes Us Girls" is the weakest moment on the album, IMO

 

'Lolita' has never been a fave and it is problematic. Like, properly problematic.
