Pretentious , bland and boring . Totally overrated . I prefer her first three albums .

I think every time I listen to this album I have a new favourite song. I'm not sure it's the masterpiece that critics would have you believe. However, it's a very good listen all the way through nevertheless.

Really boring songwriting. The production is okay. It's a shame that this is rated better than Weyes Blood's album, which is one of the best albums of the century and has brilliant songwriting.

Didn't like it the first time. Loved it the second. Perhaps because it's my ex's favorite. Needed time and space to appreciate it.

Her best album. Not perfect but full of great songs

Okay, I've decided. This is my album of 2019. The whole thing is a wonderful cocktail in the sun. I never really "got" Lana outside a handful of songs previously but this has convinced me of her greatness. Destined to go down as a modern masterpiece.

Substitute in a different vocalist and this music would leave me indifferent. Lana portrays the right level of crazy seduction to draw in the listener (call it the Fiona effect). Lana somehow depicts being ironically detached from her surroundings while also demonstrating a level of romantic attachments that evoke teenage years.

A couple songs are too long, and there’s a couple of songs that could have been cut, but this hits me right.

This album stunned me on my first listen with its beauty and fantastic songs. Before this record I really didn't see the hype around Lana Del Rey but these songs thoroughly changed my opinion. Her voice is just perfection with it being so delicate and tender which allows us to glide through the music. Her delivery of the lyrics are amazing and the lyrical content is of a high quality as well. The production is great as well with it being rich which creates a fantastic soundscape for us. Furthermore, this is her most consistent record by far and it also has her greatest ever tracks such as Doin' Time and Mariners Apartment Complex. However, there are a few issues with the album. That is that it definitely could be trimmed down with a couple songs either being a little bit weak or just going on for to long. Also, the lack of variation in song style can lead to some people being a bit tired of a ballad and makes them crave something different and fresh. Overall, this album is brilliant and is 100% Lana's best record and it makes me excited for what she can make in the future.

She holds nothing back on this album. Her voice is heavenly. The best !
