honeymoon is her best album sonically, lyrically, aesthetically, visually, and in every category

I won’t disagree, I think it’s a seminal piece of art and for the longest time was considered her magnum opus. I feel like NFR owes a debt to this record as this one pushed her to release longer, artful songs.

For me it's so strange because at release time I had the perception that this album was loved and that it was considered her best up until that moment. Many fans were welcoming the return of a production style that included more orchestral instruments. Only when LFL was released that I became aware that a good number of fans actually didn't enjoy Honeymoon as much as I thought

I like to say that Honeymoon is the perfect mix between BTD and UV. Basically every song in it could become a UV track with an electric guitar and drums, especially with the dark lyrics. But the violins, along with some vintage instrumental, bring back the glamour of BTD. Also, from a dark point of view, if BTD was Lana's hopes and dreams (both the persona and the singer) and UV was her rage and dark past, HM was her exhaustion and pain :(

Honeymoon was my fave album from her before NFR and is still my second favorite to this day. High By The Beach was released on my 16th birthday so it will always hold a very special place in my heart. Experiencing this era in real time was such a special experience. The mystery and intrigue around her was at an all time high it felt, between all of her unreleased music, I feel like this was a time that really crystallized her fans. Such an underrated album for the true Del Rey fans.

I feel like so many people who love NFR, BB, and COCC really underestimate how this album more or less broke Lana’s reliance on traditional song structure. Honeymoon definitely was a litmus test for Lana’s creativity and desire to kinda push the limits of her fans’ palettes. I’m glad the album means a great deal to you! It’s rare to find an album that clicks with you!

"Music to watch boys to" is my must have for a lazy overheated summer sunday when you don't have to lift a finger all day. It's that ultimate kind of vibe. Apart from this song I always had a problem with rest of the album, it was okay, but for years it's been my least favourite. Recently it started to grow on me a little, the sound was always kinda mysterious to me and now I'm having fun revealing this mysteries one by one in each song :) It's definetely not the album that one recommend to start journey with Lana, I understand it way better now than I used to back then.

for me, honeymoon is the kissland (least streamed the weeknd album) of her discography. in the first-2nd listen you might not get into it, but on the 3rd one you’re hooked. that was what happened to me. honeymoon is so beautiful, cinematic and colorful. i love how she uses the words blue, because i think that describes her songs, but not only in a “sad” blue, (the blackest day, terrence) but also in a chill/mellow or intense blue. (salvatore, high by the beach, music to watch boys to, freak)

Honeymoon is a wonderful album that mostly suffered for the crime of following up two of the most incredible records of all time. People often miss(ed) Lana's sense of humour, like inverting the story of Easter in 'GKIT' with her 'On Monday they destroyed me, But by Friday I'm revived', or having The Blackest Day and 24 back to back. As usual, singers are expected to either be sassy or sad in any particular song, but never both, and Lana has no time for such restrictions. She also makes fun of music video conventions in High By The Beach by having her run up the stairs interrupted by getting her nightgown caught on the bannister (foreshadowing? lol) and then pulling out a weapon that is clearly bigger than the guitar case it was previously in. People sometimes connect her to David Lynch, but they hardly ever do it because of both her (and his) sly comedy, and use of actual dream logic.

I found it interesting that you mentioned that this was one of those albums that you didn't realize how much you loved about it until you went back and took a second listen, because that's exactly what happened in my experience too. Perhaps it was the difference in sound between Ultraviolence and Honeymoon that initially made me skim over some of these songs, but after going back, I've come to love almost every single song this album has to offer. It was a similar situation that I had when initially listening to Chemtrail Over The Country Club. And my love for Lana was reason enough to go back to songs I wasn't initially into, and sure enough I stumbled on some more treasures for sure. I have all but two of the songs from this album in my Spotify collection.

Such a cool video. I'd love to see a video of you telling us what your fave artists are. No big history, no deep dive, just who do you like most. Yes, I've seen your vids and I know who your big faves are (Carly Rae Jepson, Taylor Swift, Charli XCX etc) but I think it would be super cool to see a list. Regardless, I really like your vids. Have a good day!

This is actually my sentimental favorite album of Lana. Filled with magnificent poetry. God Knows I Tried is my top fave on this album, it feels that I am a protagonist of a Quentin Tarantino movies. My top 3 fave album; Ocean Blvd, Blue Banisters and NFR. Born to Die and Honeymoon are my sentimental fave as Born to Die the title track is the behind reason of my love to Lana del Rey and Honeymoon was released on my birth month which that time I was in my down moments in life and this album helped me a lot. 😭

Terrence Loves You is stunning and one of my favorites of hers overall. I'm not a huge fan of that bridge but the way that it ends and transitions into the final chorus with those tremolo strings completely redeems it.

This has been such a great series leading up to Did You Know There Is A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd? Curious to hear your thoughts on Lust For Life--an album generally decried by 'many' fans as populist, but I think it is the album where Lana became a self-aware artist, able to reflect on herself and the world around her ("Isn't life crazy now that I'm singing with Sean')...Thank you for this series nonetheless. :)

Oh my thoughts on L4L align with yours, on one hand it does feel closest to a traditional pop era Lana’s ever had since BTD but the deep cuts are so much more than that.

You called High By the Beach "High AT the Beach" twice, but then you did it again like 3 times. At first I thought it was just a small mistake, but when the 3rd "High AT the Beach" mentioned, it sounded like it was intentional 😅 i mean.. lol nevermind. You did a great review BY the way. (wrote the "by" in capital in case you really forgot it was high by the beach lol). Can't wait for the next review, keep doing what you're doind ✊🏼
