4.5 superb | Xenophanes EMERITUS | August 30th 19 | Am I the only one who thinks that it’s weird this is the first album of hers to have a song called “California”?

4.5 superb | Doublez38 | September 11th 19 | Producer Jack Antonoff has the ability to transform a strong potential into genius, as he has been able to do with Lorde or Lana Del Rey here. Moreover, by taking the bases of Born to Die, exploiting them and reworking them, Lana Del Rey has been able to offer us a wonderful album. She opens the doors of her universe to us like never before, because all the elements here are present, theme, writing, melodies, songs, imagery and creativity. There are no bad marks here, many tracks are extremely brilliant, especially the masterpiece Venice Bitch

4.5 superb | fog CONTRIBUTOR | August 30th 19 | Lots of ups and downs over her career, but at least she always keeps it interesting. This time she knocked it out of the park.

4.0 excellent | flvnkie | August 27th 19 | after being teased for over a year, it's finally fucking here. the highs are high, and the lows are still enjoyable.
pretty solid lyrics for the most part and some of her best melodies to date.
this feels like the album she's always wanted to make.
highlights: norman fucking rockwell, venice bitch, california, and the last 4 songs
not so much: how to disappear, doin' time, the next best american record

4.0 excellent | cjbizzlebizzle | December 29th 19 | I mildly enjoyed this album after 2 listens. Thought it was quite good after 5 plays But after 10 listens it is an album I couldn't stop listening to. The main drawbacks here are the length, you could definitely trim 2 songs off the end and it would improve the flow as a whole but in the end Lana's vocal textures and melodies are an exercise in killing you with ballads. Creating ebbs and flows and tension dynamics without straying too far from the middle. For someone who often complains about lack of energy in albums I am very surprised I find this album as enjoyable as I do but in the end there are so many beautiful vocal passages, wonderful production, underrated backing instrumentals and catchy lines (it is easy to see why people are divisive over the lyrics, I don't mind them). The Doin' Time cover was a mistake and skip-worthy but 'The greatest', 'Fuck it I love you', 'California', 'Mariners Apartment Complex' and 'Venice Bitch' are among the best songs of 2019.

4.0 excellent | PrincyAli | September 15th 21 | It's pretty and the instrumentation is bliss. Sublime cover is great! 4.2/5 Favs: Norman fucking Rockwell, Mariners Apartment Complex, Fuck it I love you, Doin' Time, Love song, Cinnamon Girl, How to disappear, California, The greatest, Happiness is a butterfly, hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but I have it

4.0 excellent | charlopiano | June 10th 21 | My biggest problem with Lana Del Rey's music is that even though she's incredibly talented, to me, she's never been able to translate said talent into a full length album, but with this one, I've been proven wrong. Even though there's a lot of disappointing tracks on the back half, still a very impressive record.
Bump |
4.0 excellent | Gene Gol CONTRIBUTOR | June 14th 20 | It is true that her writing and composition skill improved tremendously and that this album is leagues above all her others. However I also found myself snoozing a little occasionally.

3.0 good | StonedManatee | September 19th 19 | Norman "Fuck me" Rockwall is indeed Lana Del Rey's best album, but it wouldn't take too much. She must have finally got vocal lessons.

3.0 good | notkanyewest | September 4th 19 | I've always liked-not-loved her stuff and I can't help feeling like the critical embrace of this as her masterpiece is borderline projection. Take the "goddman manchild" line that opens the record, which every review is latching onto and most are using to place the record in some political context. Sure, there's some criticism of this guy inherent in the song- but at the end of the day she's singing about a man she can't stop fucking despite him being an asshole, and that's territory she's covered a million times over. "The Greatest" truly is a masterwork, but to me the vast majority of the record is pretty much business as usual. And if we truly are just collectively belatedly realizing that she's amazing- that's fine, but I'm worried that twisting her style to match our feelings about The Current Moment as well as deifying her as a Kanye Level Generational Genius is going to backfire on us sooner that we think.

0.0 | Lucman | August 31st 19 | Norman Rockwell isn't interesting enough to deserve that expletive in the middle of his name. But then, maybe that's why it's there, to compensate for something....?
Bump |
3.9 excellent | Erwann S. STAFF | August 30th 19 | Never listened to any of her albums before that, and boy was I not ready. It's almost worth the mounds of hyperbolic claims it receives. Might grow. Edit: On further listens, this did not grow on me. Still a good surprise.
Bump |
4.5 superb | NuclearSplog | August 30th 19 | has a couple of duds here and there but this is definitely her strongest album so far. mariners apartment complex, doin time & hope...10/10 standouts. im definitely never listening to any of her other works again.
Bump |
3.0 good | LaughingSkull | August 29th 19 | This was so overwhelmingly melancholic, that, similarly to Ultraviolence, it leads to impressions that the girl wants to retire already, preferably somewhere far and away from everyone and everything.rAlso similar to UV, samey-ness dominates. If you skip through this haphazardly, you might think that it's the exact same song playing all along.rDifference is that this time the songs are a bit better overall, as is the atmosphere. rStandouts include: Fuck it, I love you -- Doin' Time -- How to Disappear -- California -- The Greatest -- Bartender.rAs a guy, I almost felt my estrogen spike up a bit listening to this; rOddly, Lana makes everything here so much about herself, that if you weren't an aging lady, or Lana herself, I don't see how you can get much into it.
