when lana started creating the record, the label HATED it. they forced her to go to an adele produce to try and salvage it. she played it for him and he loved it. he said he wouldn’t change anything and all of a sudden the label loved it
What I don’t understand is why they didn’t like it in the first place. It’s easily marketable and super appealing, and can be enjoyed whether you relate to it or not
Fun fact lana was supposed to sing brooklyn baby with Lou Reed and the morning they were supposed to record the track she took the plane and when she landed Lou Reed was dead which is so sad and this impacted her a lot. During the last chorus u can hear a male voice singing with her and it is Barrie james O'Neil her ex boyfriend and singer of the band Cassidy
the songs, cruel world and pretty when you cry were made in one take with just lana and her guitarist. she made up the lyrics as she sang that’s exactly what we heard.
Fun fact: Pretty When You Cry was fully freestyled and recorded in one take! Also 90% of this album's vocals were recorded at once while the band were laying down the instrumentals. Absolutely incredible
I think West Coast is one of her best songs out of her whole discography, it just transports me every time I listen to it. So unique and full of interesting sounds and layers, it's so easy to get lost in
I get what youre saying. I once fully emerged in the song while standing in front of the ocean, watching and hearing the waves crashing into the rocks. I was transported to a world where i was the only one. P/s: its in my high playlist btw 😂
@@frankp6940 As someone who's never gotten high before, I've always felt that West Coast would be _amazing_ to listen to while high lol. It's definitely on my list if I ever take an edible or something
This is by far her most underrated album. You guys need to listen to the deluxe version with “Black Beauty,” “Guns and Roses,” and “Florida Kilos.” “Florida Kilos” in particular is one of her best yet most overlooked songs.
Dan is an amazing musician and perhaps even better producer and 2013/14 he was just unstoppable. A lot people were not really into Turn Blue, but I absolutely love this record from the first listen🎉
@@islessaywell452 its fine but nothing special, just like lust for life. theyre not rly wprth checking out aside a couple of songs. blue banisters was complete shit tho
I always think of LA, but that's probably bc I live here. You can for sure tell which songs are meant to be in NY and which are talking about LA. Lana always said that LA was her home city away from home.
@@CrownedYeti fellow angeleno here! yeah this album def screams LA/NY. for the LA tracks tho you had to have grown up here, or visit here a lot to really understand the nuances of it
I really apreciate when straight men reacts to Lana without prejudgments, with open ears and mind, and certanly aknowledging the size of artist that this woman is..I guess that we all gay ppl have a special sensibility and can get her inmediatly, but is really hard to make a straight guy to listen to her without consider her "boring" or just sexy.
All neurodivergent people can resonate with Lana’s music as they have an innate ability to empathize with others, based on how others have judged them their entire lives, they know first hand how terrible that is and don’t do it to others. When you reject seeing her a sex symbol and social expectations about men liking female artists as effeminate, you feel her beautiful soul through her art. You integrate her life experience into your own. When we feel genuine empathy, we treat others like human beings. You don’t have to be on LGBTQ spectrum to be neurodivergent, you can be on the autism spectrum, have ADHD or other divergent personality styles or can become divergent yourself based on life experience by rejecting neurotypical conformity.
As a straight man, I am a huge Lana fan. Loved her music since I first saw the video for National Anthem. I do think she’s sexy and there’s no reason that should be considered a negative but at the core, she is a true artist and I do appreciate her artistry. She is a great writer and her vocals, I love cause she has a distinct voice and doesn’t sound like other singers. I am a Lana stan and damn proud to be one cause in this era, she’s a true authentic artist and there’s not enough of it
Honeymoon is her true masterpiece, in my opinion. It's so cinematic, enthralling, and cohesive that it hardly feels like an album, more like a frighteningly spectacular, important piece of art. I think you guys would love it.
The description of the setting of Brooklyn Baby is spot on. Summertime at night, hot and sticky, a dark apartment, wine and cigarettes, maybe throw in a jazz club. Love it!
I think i’m the only person who imagines a winter (but sunny) day when I listen to Brooklyn Baby, i imagine going on a walk and there’s snow everywhere but the sky is clear and blue, i think it’s because I listened to Brooklyn Baby a lot when i lived in Norway when i was 12 😅
This album means the world to me. My first girlfriend used to lose herself in Lana's music, and we were in a long-distance relationship. Whenever we used to meet up it was our soundtrack, and we used to just indulge in the moment. Such emotional nostalgia, and reminds me of what life is worth living for.
I can relate to you. It was the soundtrack of my life when I turned 30, and met the love of my life. It was a hot sexy steamy summer. We were sizzling like snails honey 🔥 still are 8 years later❤
I saw Lana live at PNE in Vancouver in May 2014 just before this album came out. It was pouring rain out and my sister and I found this tree to sit under, protecting us from the rain. It was magical and the last concert I went to with my sister before she passed. Lana has always been and always will be so special to me.❤
I'd love to see you guys do "Lust for Life"! That album gets looked over a lot but I think it's actually a really important, pivotal moment in her discography. You can see a lot of things change for her in that album and you can tell she's working out a lot of kinks both emotionally and sonically, gearing herself up to create Norman Rockwell. She kind of flips the script, tackling the idea of California once again but with optimism (can you imagine... Lana?!) I remember her saying that it was an album for her fans, which makes total sense. The album cover of her smiling also feels of something to note, because until then she had a very consistent run of being a "sad girl". There's also countless interesting features, you got The Weekend, ASAP Rocky, Stevie Nicks, Sean Lennon, etc. Lot's to explore here! Keep up the good work in the meantime.
The way he appreciates all the small details in the background made me happy. This is the reason I love Lana’s music. The details of her music esp. her backing vocals and instrumentals are phenomenal! She will also put you in a situation you’ve never been and experience the pain and see through her perspective of love and abusive relationship. Thanks for this reaction video!
I think the way I hear this album is like if California was hit by some ice age-esque disaster, washing it of all colour. Still has those hazy, wobbly psych guitars that remind me of palm trees/beaches, but contrasted with Lana’s cold reverbed vocals & melancholic chords and melodies. Feels like drug-infused California in an eternal winter or something! I love this album.
That’s so true! I find her vocals to be cold also! But im curious what causes us to think it’s cold. She has some kind of effect on her voice in combination with the reverb. Anyone know what it is?
After over 10 years of listening to this incredible woman and the masterpieces she releases, I saw her perform live last week. What an incredible show and an incredible performer. This video couldn’t have come at a better time. One of the best albums I’ve ever heard.
I just saw her a few days ago and it was the best night of my life!! We were all singing and screaming the lyrics together and everyone got along so well.
Wow...Wow...Wow! I've never heard of Lana Del Rey until watching this video after it popped up. When I saw the Ultraviolence, I thought it literally was an artist doing their version of Death Angels song The Ultraviolence. I was not expecting Lana to catch and hold my musical and musicians soul. I am a lover of multiple genres of music, but my fave genre is metal and progressive metal, her arrangements and vocal layering is incredible. The layers of sound with the instruments and her voice reminds me of how Devin Townsend layers his compositions with a "wall of sound" and make his music very ambient and ethereal. Lana is quite the gem that I discovered through you guys!!! Thanks a heap.
Holy shit I am THRILLED Please please do honeymoon as well! Ultraviolence, honeymoon & ocean Blvd are my fav albums of all time. With NFR coming in right behind them.
Mine too!! For me, I rank them as: 1. Honeymoon 2. DYKTATUOB 3. Ultraviolence But honestly, all 3 could easily tie first place with how good they are. Honeymoon just has such a special place in my heart though!
"The Other Woman" (not to be confused with "Other Woman") is a song written by Jessie Mae Robinson which was originally recorded by Sarah Vaughan, but it was popularized by Nina Simone and covered by Lana Del Rey. -Lanapedia
born to die....nothing will compare to the nostalgia this album give me. it doesn't have the most vast sound but each song is sonically stunning with such unique imagery you can also see the personification of the lyrics in from of u
No matter how many times I have listened to ultraviolence it ALWAYS hits me really hard. I cry every single time. The play on "I can hear (police) sirens sirens violins violins" instead of 'violence' n how her mind changes the police sirens sound to violins to protect herself, and the "we can go back to the start when I don't know who you are" wish I had never even known you and the "I could have died right there in his arms b/ he was right beside me"- he could have literally killed me right there; "Jim taught me that loving him was never enough"- learning that no matter how much I loved it was never enough for you. ahhh I can go on n on, it always gets to me.
What a special way to explain what she intended with this song. It's a hard one but so beautiful, people who have the ability to turn pain into art will always get my praise.
Just saw Lana live and can't believe she played two songs from this gem of an album, super nostalgic. I could watch you and your dad vibe to her all day
I’ll never forget listening to this album for the first time when I was like 12 or 13. I’m 21 now and looking back it was such a crazy thing to be listening to at such a young age. Forever my favorite tho
West coast is one of the most perfect songs I’ve ever heard. Vibe, production, lyrics/story telling, vocals, the switch up of the tempos throughout. I could go on and on. Lana is truly her own unique identity in an ocean full of carbon copy artists.
This album was one of the first I bought on CD back in 2013 when I was 13. Nothing hit as hard as this and it makes me so happy to see you and your dad bonding over it and appreciating the art behind this album. Every video you guys do is amazing, but the Lana videos are, undoubtedly, my favorite. Thanks for everything you guys do and keep going! I can’t wait to watch you guys listen to more!
It's almost impossible to rank them, but if I had to I would go 1. Ultraviolence 2. NFR 3. Ocean Blvd. All 3 are great, but I love the soft rock, jazz, psychedelic rock, and surf noir elements of Ultraviolence. I just love the musical composition of it. Wish Lana would go back to it, but her music is definitely driven by lyrics now. Ultraviolence also has great replay value, but so does NFR. Ocean Blvd is more focused on the lyrics and personal, but it's not a FULL replay album besides the last few songs).
Please do Honeymoon next !! It's the follow-up to UV, and it's an underrated masterpiece. The whole album is so cinematic, especially if you liked the james bond type sound. There is a lot of classical and jazzy elements in it, and the production is spectacular, and the vocals too, it's Lana at her best imo.
This is a her best of the best album she ever delivered. it's not a only album, it's a life changing album, it's a masterpiece, it's a cure of illness and depression.
Lol, Lana said that was the song that got her in touch with the producers of Spectre, which led to her writing a song for them and they rejected it, she just kept it for herself and put the record on Honeymoon. Best decision, it really flows with honeymoon and they didn't deserve lana anyway, they ended up choosing Sam.
I have waited for this moment, and as usual, not disappointed. You guys always say the most smart, sensitive things and curious interpretations, i adore. This album is so strong and beautiful.
So happy he loved west coast. The only positives of eventually getting old and loosing your memory is one day I’ll be so demented I can listen to this album for the first time again
I love the way the dad talks about sounds and instruments. It opens your brain the listen for different things making the music even more compelling to hear
Need to listen to Born to Die, put her on the map and I still think it's my favourite yeah it was poppy but its good. This album was a cool change in sound while staying true to her unique style though. Video Games holds such a nostalgic feel for me, memories of my early 20s.
My ranking: Ultraviolence - I remember when it came out it solidified her as an artist I will admire the rest of my life. Ocean Boulevard - too personal, and it has Fingertips so duhhh NFR - I love this album so much, but its too American imo and I'm not American, like I can't relate to a lot of it, but I admire it.. also, I'm a bit salty critics made it seem like this is the album where she was meant to be taken seriously when imo she's been that bish from the jump Honeymoon is my second all time favorite album by Lana. It is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY ahead of its time and to this day there's not a singer out there who could release such a body of work, so cinematic and so JAMES BOND vibey. I highly recommend it be your next stop :)
Lana is SO AMAZING live. I saw her while she was touring during this album's cycle, and she was phenomenal. I highly encourage ya'll to see her when you can!!
@@mylasagnaisready overrated as hell... Half of the album has repetitive choruses.... ULTRAVIOLENCE-ULTRAVIOLENCE,SAD GURL-SAD GURL,BLACK BEAUTY-BLACK BEAUTY, IS THIS HAPPINESS-IS THIS HAPPINESS, PRETTY WHEN U CRY-PRETTY WHEN U CRYYYYY, GUNS AND ROSES-GUNS AND ROSES and there are more hidden repetitiveness to it with Money Power Glory and Fucked my way up to the top.
I’ll never forget when West Coast came out and the album followed, I was living in Brooklyn and it blew my mind. The videos for West Coast and Shades of Cool play into each other too, personally my favourite era of Lana although I agree her songwriting has gotten even better. I’d love her to do another album with Dan from the Black Keys.
This is my all time favorite album. I found this album in the middle of the hardest year of my life and it’s very close to my heart. Her voice, the production, the instrumentals, everything about it is beautiful and it is her best album, hands down (in my opinion). It’s perfect in every way
I’ve lived with this album for many years now. Some of the vocal layering and tiny hints of instrumentation throughout are completely ingrained into my brain. Lol. It is very personal to me; and my most absolute favorite album ever.
Fun fact! Brooklyn Baby was written for and and intended to be performed with Lou Reed. Sadly Lana got the call that Lou passed just days before they were due to record together
So happy I just found this new video of you reacting to this album, it’s one of my favorites from Lana and definitely had an impact on me when it first came up (I was 17). Sending love to u guys from Lima, Peru 🇵🇪
i GASPED when i saw this im so glad you did this album, one of my favorites of all time!! its stunning and id love to see you explore more of her discography, like blue banisters or born to die
I remember discovering both The Black Keys & Lana Del Rey in 2012 and never could I have imagined that this project would be the perfect mixture of both their sounds. To this day this will be the Lana project that I always come back to!
1. Ocean blvd. Lana’s most personal and mature record to date. I could just lay there and melt listening to it. Heavenly. Masterpiece imo. 2. NFR! Let’s just say that when this record was released, I listened front to back in a loop for a like a year. It marked an artistic evolution for Lana into a much richer, more experimental sound. This and Ocean Blvd. interchange. 3. Ultraviolence This was my favorite record of hers until NFR. West Coast is still a top 2 song, and it’s not number 2. The record just doesn’t stand up to the god tier lyrics on Ocean and NFR.
It’s interesting for your dad to go backward through her discography, cause when he reached The Other Woman he felt it wasn’t her style but Born To Die album kind of introduced her as this style. I hope you cover each album, I wish I could experience them for the first time again 😭☺️
This album has my heart, truly.. Probably my favorite Lana album (yes, more than NFR). Shades of Cool gives me goosebumps, I connect with that album so much.

What I don’t understand is why they didn’t like it in the first place. It’s easily marketable and super appealing, and can be enjoyed whether you relate to it or not
@@ppppppppp64 The sound was VERY different to Born To Die, which the label wanted to replicate due to its success for sure.

Fun fact lana was supposed to sing brooklyn baby with Lou Reed and the morning they were supposed to record the track she took the plane and when she landed Lou Reed was dead which is so sad and this impacted her a lot.

the songs, cruel world and pretty when you cry were made in one take with just lana and her guitarist. she made up the lyrics as she sang that’s exactly what we heard.
I thought Black Beauty was also part of UV they didnt react to it...
@@boroyalty6281they didn’t react to the deluxe version unfortunately
Even more impressive. I seriously can’t believe how much people shit on this album. It’s one of her masterpieces.
I think so is Sad Girl, that’s why you hear her vocals leak in the instrumentals that we have
Pretty when you cry is freestyled .
Fun fact: Pretty When You Cry was fully freestyled and recorded in one take! Also 90% of this album's vocals were recorded at once while the band were laying down the instrumentals. Absolutely incredible

That’s my favourite song on this album!
I think West Coast is one of her best songs out of her whole discography, it just transports me every time I listen to it. So unique and full of interesting sounds and layers, it's so easy to get lost in
Every time i listen to it, it gives me chills. That sudden switch gives pure LA and West Coast vibes. Awesome song, the whole album is as well 😎
Yes agreed! That outro with the synths gives me chills. Every. Damn. Time.

This is by far her most underrated album. You guys need to listen to the deluxe version with “Black Beauty,” “Guns and Roses,” and “Florida Kilos.” “Florida Kilos” in particular is one of her best yet most overlooked songs.
I 100% agree about Florida kilos
florida kilos 💚
Is This Happiness and Flipside too
omg florida kilos club!
It’s not underrated
From a guitar perspective, this is probably Lana’s most creative album. Of course it would be being produced by Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys
Dan is an amazing musician and perhaps even better producer and 2013/14 he was just unstoppable. A lot people were not really into Turn Blue, but I absolutely love this record from the first listen🎉
all thanks to Blake, her amazing guitarist
Wow I actually didn’t know that, I love that and it checks right out.
i'd say drums too, especially since she doesn't use them creatively at all in the last 3 albums
I had no clue Dan was a part of this, must be why this is my fav album of hers!!!

Thisssssss
West coast has one of the best chorus transitions in music history, I've been listening to it for over 10 years and it never gets old.
Lana used to open with Cruel World on tour, it was unreal. The most insane opening song. This is her best album by far.
one of the best shows ive ever been to
I bet that sounds amazing in concert 🙏🙏
I can only imagine what that should had been😢
I saw her twice in 2 weeks in 2017, both times she opened with Cruel World.. absolutely unreal
NFR, Ocean Blvd and UV is what makes her such a one of a kind artist for me.
The description of the setting of Brooklyn Baby is spot on. Summertime at night, hot and sticky, a dark apartment, wine and cigarettes, maybe throw in a jazz club. Love it!
I think i’m the only person who imagines a winter (but sunny) day when I listen to Brooklyn Baby, i imagine going on a walk and there’s snow everywhere but the sky is clear and blue, i think it’s because I listened to Brooklyn Baby a lot when i lived in Norway when i was 12 😅

I'd love to see you guys do "Lust for Life"! That album gets looked over a lot but I think it's actually a really important, pivotal moment in her discography. You can see a lot of things change for her in that album and you can tell she's working out a lot of kinks both emotionally and sonically, gearing herself up to create Norman Rockwell. She kind of flips the script, tackling the idea of California once again but with optimism (can you imagine... Lana?!)

That’s so true! I find her vocals to be cold also! But im curious what causes us to think it’s cold. She has some kind of effect on her voice in combination with the reverb. Anyone know what it is?
After over 10 years of listening to this incredible woman and the masterpieces she releases, I saw her perform live last week. What an incredible show and an incredible performer. This video couldn’t have come at a better time. One of the best albums I’ve ever heard.
Can't wait to see her in her (hopefully) upcoming tour for the first time.
I just saw her a few days ago and it was the best night of my life!! We were all singing and screaming the lyrics together and everyone got along so well.
manifesting this for myself ✨✨✨
Her very best album! Still gives me chills. Can't understate the effect Dan Auerbach brought to her sound.
Wow...Wow...Wow! I've never heard of Lana Del Rey until watching this video after it popped up. When I saw the Ultraviolence, I thought it literally was an artist doing their version of Death Angels song The Ultraviolence. I was not expecting Lana to catch and hold my musical and musicians soul. I am a lover of multiple genres of music, but my fave genre is metal and progressive metal, her arrangements and vocal layering is incredible. The layers of sound with the instruments and her voice reminds me of how Devin Townsend layers his compositions with a "wall of sound" and make his music very ambient and ethereal. Lana is quite the gem that I discovered through you guys!!! Thanks a heap.
I feel like Black Beauty should have been on the base album, it's SO GOOD! Still, this reaction was amazing
Exactly omg
me too!!
Holy shit I am THRILLED
Please please do honeymoon as well!
Ultraviolence, honeymoon & ocean Blvd are my fav albums of all time.
With NFR coming in right behind them.
Mine too!! For me, I rank them as:
1. Honeymoon
2. DYKTATUOB
3. Ultraviolence
But honestly, all 3 could easily tie first place with how good they are. Honeymoon just has such a special place in my heart though!
I realy love honeymoon, it's criminally underrated.
@@tshypooooolfl , uv, bb for me :)
@@tshypooooomine is
1. NFR
2. Ultraviolence
3. Honeymoon
4. Tunnel under ocean Boulevard

"The Other Woman" (not to be confused with "Other Woman") is a song written by Jessie Mae Robinson which was originally recorded by Sarah Vaughan, but it was popularized by Nina Simone and covered by Lana Del Rey.
-Lanapedia
one of my favorite covers by Lana ❤
born to die....nothing will compare to the nostalgia this album give me. it doesn't have the most vast sound but each song is sonically stunning with such unique imagery you can also see the personification of the lyrics in from of u
No matter how many times I have listened to ultraviolence it ALWAYS hits me really hard. I cry every single time. The play on "I can hear (police) sirens sirens violins violins" instead of 'violence' n how her mind changes the police sirens sound to violins to protect herself, and the "we can go back to the start when I don't know who you are" wish I had never even known you and the "I could have died right there in his arms b/ he was right beside me"- he could have literally killed me right there; "Jim taught me that loving him was never enough"- learning that no matter how much I loved it was never enough for you. ahhh I can go on n on, it always gets to me.
What a special way to explain what she intended with this song. It's a hard one but so beautiful, people who have the ability to turn pain into art will always get my praise.
Just saw Lana live and can't believe she played two songs from this gem of an album, super nostalgic. I could watch you and your dad vibe to her all day
quebec?
@@yesmk000 London! Quebec show looked just as amazing
I’ll never forget listening to this album for the first time when I was like 12 or 13. I’m 21 now and looking back it was such a crazy thing to be listening to at such a young age. Forever my favorite tho
same bought it when I was 14 (now 23) and I was blown away when I heard it for the first time. She’ll always be in my heart
omg me too!! :’)) im planning my wedding and will be playing lana. it’s like we grew together!
@@kimdracvla wait what songs are you having in wedding, im so curious!
@@lexplayssoccer i’m thinking of either bel air or video games but i’m leaning more towards bel air! :)
@@vintressI was 14 as well when I got this album! It literally shaped me to who I am today.
YOURE DAD IS SO HANDSOME HE DEF HAS A CHANCE W LANA
West coast is one of the most perfect songs I’ve ever heard. Vibe, production, lyrics/story telling, vocals, the switch up of the tempos throughout. I could go on and on.
Lana is truly her own unique identity in an ocean full of carbon copy artists.
of course he was sold when he heard about lana liking older men lmaooo 😭
😭😭
Cruel World is my absolute favorite and your Dad describing it in the way he did was so spot on 😂😂
This video has exploded my heart. This album always hits so hard every time, and it was so fun watching you guys absolutely love it too.
This album was one of the first I bought on CD back in 2013 when I was 13. Nothing hit as hard as this and it makes me so happy to see you and your dad bonding over it and appreciating the art behind this album. Every video you guys do is amazing, but the Lana videos are, undoubtedly, my favorite. Thanks for everything you guys do and keep going! I can’t wait to watch you guys listen to more!
It's almost impossible to rank them, but if I had to I would go 1. Ultraviolence 2. NFR 3. Ocean Blvd. All 3 are great, but I love the soft rock, jazz, psychedelic rock, and surf noir elements of Ultraviolence. I just love the musical composition of it. Wish Lana would go back to it, but her music is definitely driven by lyrics now. Ultraviolence also has great replay value, but so does NFR. Ocean Blvd is more focused on the lyrics and personal, but it's not a FULL replay album besides the last few songs).
Ocen has the most replay, along ultra to me. Not all songs, but ocean, paris, the ligth are so replayable
Ocean is the most replayed one lol Ultraviolence still #1 for me but ocean superpassed NFR for me
i knew your father was goin to love this album. is crazy how you can know the musical tastes of strangers in internet.
Please do Honeymoon next !! It's the follow-up to UV, and it's an underrated masterpiece. The whole album is so cinematic, especially if you liked the james bond type sound. There is a lot of classical and jazzy elements in it, and the production is spectacular, and the vocals too, it's Lana at her best imo.
This is a her best of the best album she ever delivered. it's not a only album, it's a life changing album, it's a masterpiece, it's a cure of illness and depression.
Yes! I've always thought shades of cool sounds like a Bond song it really could have been
One of her very best. One of my top 5 by her
Lol, Lana said that was the song that got her in touch with the producers of Spectre, which led to her writing a song for them and they rejected it, she just kept it for herself and put the record on Honeymoon. Best decision, it really flows with honeymoon and they didn't deserve lana anyway, they ended up choosing Sam.
I have waited for this moment, and as usual, not disappointed. You guys always say the most smart, sensitive things and curious interpretations, i adore. This album is so strong and beautiful.
i need the dad so bad oh my GOSH
Highly recommend Ethel Cain's album "Preacher's Daughter", it's written in such a cool way and Ethel is insanely talented!!
YES
I would beg on my hands and knees for this reaction haha
this is THE best lana album. heard it for the first time in 5th grade and I’m now 20 and it’s still my favorite lana album.
SAME like I shouldn’t have listened to it at that age but its now a really important part of my personality
So happy he loved west coast. The only positives of eventually getting old and loosing your memory is one day I’ll be so demented I can listen to this album for the first time again
the other woman is actually a cover from the original song played by Nina Simone, released in 1959
I love the way the dad talks about sounds and instruments. It opens your brain the listen for different things making the music even more compelling to hear
Need to listen to Born to Die, put her on the map and I still think it's my favourite yeah it was poppy but its good. This album was a cool change in sound while staying true to her unique style though. Video Games holds such a nostalgic feel for me, memories of my early 20s.
best lana del rey album
@@zohaiblateef7963weakest*
@@pawnblue is honeymoon
💕
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG OH MY GOD 😭💞
the irony of a dilf listening to this album
i rlly feel like i’m hanging out w y’all listening to my fav albums, talking abt them passionately. so beautiful and one of my fav channels
I would 100% recommend giving Honeymoon a listen together, I think it’s her other best work apart from the ones you’ve reacted to already
My ranking:
Ultraviolence - I remember when it came out it solidified her as an artist I will admire the rest of my life.
Ocean Boulevard - too personal, and it has Fingertips so duhhh
NFR - I love this album so much, but its too American imo and I'm not American, like I can't relate to a lot of it, but I admire it.. also, I'm a bit salty critics made it seem like this is the album where she was meant to be taken seriously when imo she's been that bish from the jump
Honeymoon is my second all time favorite album by Lana. It is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY ahead of its time and to this day there's not a singer out there who could release such a body of work, so cinematic and so JAMES BOND vibey. I highly recommend it be your next stop :)
Honeymoon is so underrated! It’s probs in my top 2 of hers. Salvatore and 24 are amazing. So cinematic.
she is AMAZING live. one of the best concerts i’ve ever been to
Lana is SO AMAZING live. I saw her while she was touring during this album's cycle, and she was phenomenal. I highly encourage ya'll to see her when you can!!
NO WAYYY!!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS OMGGGG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Listening to this album at 14 fcked me up forever…cause what do you listen to after experiencing musical genius??!?
This album is genius but there are like 2000 other albums as great as this one or even better
@@22taylorsversion9 I was exaggerating but sure
@@22taylorsversion9nah this is honestly one of the greatest albums ever idc and I’ve listened to so many other genres of music
@@mylasagnaisreadysame
@@mylasagnaisready overrated as hell... Half of the album has repetitive choruses.... ULTRAVIOLENCE-ULTRAVIOLENCE,SAD GURL-SAD GURL,BLACK BEAUTY-BLACK BEAUTY, IS THIS HAPPINESS-IS THIS HAPPINESS, PRETTY WHEN U CRY-PRETTY WHEN U CRYYYYY, GUNS AND ROSES-GUNS AND ROSES
and there are more hidden repetitiveness to it with Money Power Glory and Fucked my way up to the top.
Never clicked on a video so fast.. I'm so glad you did this!! I hope you'll continue with Lana's discography ❤
I’ll never forget when West Coast came out and the album followed, I was living in Brooklyn and it blew my mind. The videos for West Coast and Shades of Cool play into each other too, personally my favourite era of Lana although I agree her songwriting has gotten even better. I’d love her to do another album with Dan from the Black Keys.
omg you guys are my new fav channel ! I went to Lana's concert in Paris recently and she's even more amazing in live !
This is my all time favorite album. I found this album in the middle of the hardest year of my life and it’s very close to my heart. Her voice, the production, the instrumentals, everything about it is beautiful and it is her best album, hands down (in my opinion). It’s perfect in every way
I’ve lived with this album for many years now. Some of the vocal layering and tiny hints of instrumentation throughout are completely ingrained into my brain. Lol. It is very personal to me; and my most absolute favorite album ever.
Fun fact! Brooklyn Baby was written for and and intended to be performed with Lou Reed. Sadly Lana got the call that Lou passed just days before they were due to record together
My favourite album by Lana. So glad you guys did this! 🥹
Thank you! Iv been waiting for y’all to react to my favorite album.
So happy I just found this new video of you reacting to this album, it’s one of my favorites from Lana and definitely had an impact on me when it first came up (I was 17). Sending love to u guys from Lima, Peru 🇵🇪
as SOON as i saw this on my feed all my anxiety went away. pls do more lana 🥺 love y’all
the ultra violence tour was amazing! probs my fav lana era to experience and she IS AMAZING LIVE
i GASPED when i saw this im so glad you did this album, one of my favorites of all time!! its stunning and id love to see you explore more of her discography, like blue banisters or born to die
for real
I remember discovering both The Black Keys & Lana Del Rey in 2012 and never could I have imagined that this project would be the perfect mixture of both their sounds. To this day this will be the Lana project that I always come back to!
five minutes in and I just had to purchase the Patreon. love ur Lana reactions and I love ur guys dynamic. 🙏🏼
1. Ocean blvd. Lana’s most personal and mature record to date. I could just lay there and melt listening to it. Heavenly. Masterpiece imo.
2. NFR! Let’s just say that when this record was released, I listened front to back in a loop for a like a year. It marked an artistic evolution for Lana into a much richer, more experimental sound. This and Ocean Blvd. interchange.
3. Ultraviolence This was my favorite record of hers until NFR. West Coast is still a top 2 song, and it’s not number 2. The record just doesn’t stand up to the god tier lyrics on Ocean and NFR.
Fully agreed
I think the production and melodies and production make up for the lyrics.
@@lucasb9285 but the production and melodies are also better in Ocean and NFR. The melodies of both title tracks wash Ultraviolence respectfully.
Honeymoon? Better than ultraviolence
@@pawnblue Respectfully, no. Honeymoon is B-tier.
Clicked so fast on this video, I love you guys reacting to Lana!
It’s interesting for your dad to go backward through her discography, cause when he reached The Other Woman he felt it wasn’t her style but Born To Die album kind of introduced her as this style. I hope you cover each album, I wish I could experience them for the first time again 😭☺️
what a moment to listen lana’s albuns for the first time. what a feeling! i’m addict to videos like this. this excitement.. i miss that
My favourite channel doing my absolute life changing album 😭 saw Lana live last week it’s a Lana summer for the girlies ❤
I saw Lana back in like 2014ish and Shades of Cool was an absolutely magical song live✨✨✨ the drums, guitar, and her ethereal voice was chefs kiss 💋
never stoppp these videos
This album has my heart, truly.. Probably my favorite Lana album (yes, more than NFR). Shades of Cool gives me goosebumps, I connect with that album so much.
