It's so complex and vulnerable and different.

[@notshawnorsean]

It's funny that you brought up how the production on "Nectar of the Gods" would've been different on past records because it WAS originally written and recorded for Ultraviolence! The songs "If You Lie Next to Me", "Living Legend", and "Cherry Blossom" were also reworked material from that album era. She said that this album was intended for a lot of her critics, so it makes sense that she revisited a lot of songs from that time in her life where the internet scrutiny around her was seemingly at its peak.

[@Matthew-ij3zm]

Not really a lot of rework done though. We have access to the demos and they sound the same.

[@talal2000tbh]

BB is definitely one of those albums where you have to know the backstory behind it to get the full experience. She was leaving Jack Antonoff as her producer so she wanted to have her own signature grandiose sound but she was also sonically experimenting. She was dealing with her breakup with Sean Larkin and then getting engaged to Clayton Johnson and splitting up so she must've had a few things to say about those guys. And she wanted to clap back to her critics that attacked her for how she portrays her relationships and her romances. Also some of the songs were very popular unreleased records that she remastered for this album and I'd like to believe that she did this because she knew how fans love those records and she was once serious about releasing a huge record of her unreleased songs. So when you take all of this into consideration you can understand how beautifully chaotic this album turned out to be.

Also, at least 4 of the songs were recorded for older albums (much older, like Ultraviolence, for instance) and the demos sounded almost exactly the same.

I love her different vocal styles and raw emotion Such a masterpiece

[@k213389]

It's really interesting how many of the songs are from 2013-2014, Nectar of the Gods and Cherry Blossom are both outtakes from the Ultraviolence sessions. Overall this album is so tender and delicate. It feels like she is really wanting to connect with us on this record. She said this album would tell her story, and I think it does. And what's interesting to me is she hyped it up as a response to the critics, but she doesn't really fixate on the negative press attention she's received in the way that, say, Taylor Swift did on Reputation. It isn't really about clapping back at her critics, there are only a couple of places in the lyrics where she references it (in Arcadia and Black Bathing Suit). Instead she's just intent on telling her story, perhaps more directly than ever before. And in a way she's proving the critics wrong by doing that, because people have accused her for a long time of being 'inauthentic' (whatever that means) and this record is probably the most 'authentic' and the most nakedly honest she's ever made.

been waiting for this❤ Dealer is my fav ❤❤❤

[@sierraluers4543]

this album has so much nuance and since it spans her entire life we will have to listen to it again and again to enjoy and grasp it

[@Starryeyedobsolete]

just so you know if you lie down with me, nectar of the gods, living legend and cherry blossom were all recorded during the ultraviolence sessions but didn’t make their way onto the album. These weren’t re-recorded from 2013, I love them so much.

[@destinyfm7358]

Thank you for appreciating music that means so much to certain people. Lana stans will love you forever, so often people don’t see the magic we see, but you do. Thank you. Honestly. ❤️

[@Amira1504]

The guitar bridge on Living Legend is actually Lana's voice through a vocoder

[@jotade05]

I like how he finished the whole album and I'm sitting here, still processing interlude the trio

[@YupOkayThx]

I think I read a while back that several songs on the album were initially written for ultraviolence. I imagine the production on them would have been more similar to what we saw on that album if she's recorded them back then.

[@littlebigbunnyrabbit9520]

The thing with Dealer is you either love it or you don't. I personally love the song, but I can understand if it's not for you.

[@anastasiacarter3596]

I've been waiting for this video so

[@fez2827]

The 'riot girl screaming' comment on the " black bathing suit" track😁😁lol I love it!

[@neural9819]

I feel like the content all of her albums up to this point has been telling stories but this is truly about her, this is the closest we've ever gotten to knowing her I think.

[@milaces1323]

Now, i can't listen to a Lana album without knowing what you think about it! 😂

[@marko2823]

Not even close to NFR, but still an amazing album, close to Chemtrails I would say. Me being Lana fanboy will listen to this album like 20 more times in the following 3/4 days. Also, first half of the album completely different than the second, due to unreleased songs being recorded much before. 8/10 on a Lana scale :D Jon, love you, but you are allowed to say that you don't like certain track

[@nfrlvr_]

omg nooooo i really thought you would like dealer, i was so excited for this reaction for that exactly 😭😭

[@carmensaldana2404]

Masterpiece, probably the best álbum on Lana Del Rey's career.

[@charmedprince]

We said that about all of her albums

[@Zssprime]

@@charmedprince except for cocc because there was Nfr before it, hard to tol that, this comes pretty close to NFR though (for me at least.

[@nadjadjenic2782]

explanation for violets for roses: lana uses violets (bc their blue) as a way to represent happiness, and roses are a symbol for love. so she’s saying she traded her happiness for love ❤️

[@gemma2182]

the fact cherry blossom was meant to be on ultraviolence and there's a song called "cruel world" and in CB she says "it's a cruel cruel world but we don't care.."

[@a.a677]

This album touches a part of my soul nothing else has

[@BrunoEliasable]

I totally agree about Wildflower Wildfire... which was my least favorite song when Lana put it out... until... and this only happen with Miss Del Rey... until the moment i listen to her singing " I've been runnin' on stardust Alone for so long" how lonely she sings it... i have now 352 scrobbles of the song in Last.fm account! Black Bathing Suit is one of my favorites. Agree that Miles Kane Kill (Kill) Dealer! i need more time with this album, it will grow on me like a Cherry Blossom :) Thank you Mr. Denton

[@madeleinegibson1650]

I think the main impressive point of this album is the lyricisms. It’s definitely her most honest work, however I was slightly let down by the repetitive piano and how all the songs were quite samey sounding. It’s better than COTCC but I don’t think it’s in the hall of fame with her other albums. It’s a grower for sure, but I don’t see myself religiously loving any of the songs on this in the future, and I’m a huge Lana fan

[@slowednreverbbg5175]

honestly same i love her but when i heard she turned thunder into ANOTHER piano ballad i just gave up 😩

[@brobby3829]

I love how people begged you to check her out, and now you've reacted to every album since. You feel it, there's no way she isn't your favorite, or at the very least no way you don't see she's the greatest musical artist there's ever been because she changed music completely. Like century changing.

[@danielaescobar5734]

please please listen to the very first ever version of thunder! also i’m pretty sure some tracks were meant for an album her, miles kane, and alex turner worked out which explains why miles kane had such a big part on dealer and which explains why thunder literally screams alex turner/ the last shadow puppets

[@mahazia9845]

Come on, we don’t know how long we’ll have to wait for the next album, it’s time for the unreleased songs ✨✨

[@RT-vz5xw]

A bit late but here to share my thoughts nonetheless. On violets for roses, a pretty symbolism i think about is the fact that violets grow in the wild whereas roses are usually associated with gardens. Therefore, one could say that she is talking about the fact that the worse thing a man could do, and what a man did to her, was make her trade her violets (freedom) for roses (comfort).
