Lana Dey Rey - Born To Die REACTION/REVIEW

[@CatnapWhisper]

"light of my life, fire of my loins" is a line from the book Lolita

[@xtldc]

The very first line of the book is ‘Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins’

[@andyyy1r]

The whole album is a bit more deep than its pop-oriented production seems to be. I think it tells a lot about Lana's instrumental choices in her more recent albums.

[@violentestkindoflove]

one of lana’s best 💖 born to die 👶2️⃣💀 - 0:59 off to the races 📴2️⃣🏇 - 3:09 blue jeans 👖 - 5:46 video games 👾 - 8:16 diet mtn dew ⛰️💦 - 10:18 national anthem 🇺🇸🎶 - 12:38 dark paradise 🌴 - 14:46 radio 📻 - 17:29 carmen 💃🍷 - 19:26 milli $ man 💰💰🚶‍♂️- 21:36 summertime sadness ☀️😞 - 24:09 tiwmug 💁‍♀️💖🥇 - 26:11 (love the review 🫡 dropped a like for juxtaposition, bc u don’t hear that everyday)

[@mandoz353]

this is why we recommend people listen in order, it throws people off and they think Lana’s putting on some kind of voice, when this is the sound and voice she started off with lol.

[@istvan7301]

this, along with Adele's 25, is one of the longest charting female albums of all time on the billboard 200, it's been on the chart for over 500 weeks

[@riversfrank826]

21*

[@hippierip6695]

her vocals on this album are fucking perfect i love the contrast of her angelic voice with a bit of rasp

[@mutanTWhor]

yes next in line is honeymoon

[@mutanTWhor]

actually it might be worth it checking the paradise ep it's similar to born to die but more atmospheric and haunting

[@lutherfloyd597]

I love how well you blend into the couch.

[@alyssab313]

I feel like you’d like Honeymoon with her deeper voice, It’s also my favorite Lana Del Rey album

[@josue-vz8bl]

People in the comments calling this album bad??? It literally influenced so many artists til this day

[@odonvargas9527]

Whoever wrote that it is a bad album has not idea what it's talking about.. Pay no attention. We know what's up with this album and the legacy that it created it.

[@nezurf1722]

i think you’d love her album honeymoon more than any of the other lana albums you’ve heard

[@aymanchakir6556]

i think he'll LOve honeymoon and blue bannisters

[@rafchu7]

most definitely!

[@TheAlam0]

Yooo Smags this one gonna make me cry I'll watch it later today. And I highly recommend "Ok Computer" - Radiohead. beautiful album

[@meatgrinder9506]

He has already listened to it (or At least i hope so)

[@pocketfox83]

I appreciate your honesty when you aren't feeling a song! This album is hit or miss for me too but it's a classic! Wouldn't mind hearing you do chemtrails over the country club next!

[@xtldc]

Off to the Races and Lolita as well as other lyrics on the album are wholly or partially inspired by the novel Lolita and I’m pretty sure the high pitch voice she uses is supposed to sound like a young girl

[@juneknowit]

IM SO READY FOR THIS

[@idonthaveaname6472]

TIMESTAMPS : 0:00 Intro 2:30 my brain is melting 4:12 Hello bro 5:49 I went for a walk today 12:23 awrgrgwe 16:32 onika burgers 18:55 cheese strings 22:42 10 piece McNugget

[@pdthecucumber4572]

Thank you❤

[@CatnapWhisper]

the paradise ep is one of my favorites, it has some really unique sounding tracks and the ep in general is an astounding piece of work imo, though its not a fan favorite i dont think

[@theolucero9571]

u would rlly appreciate blue banisters ! it’s in my top 3. has that timeless flavour to it.

[@wahxoxo98]

Honeymoon and blue banisters are definitely worth checking out. Chemtrails too

[@dixiezucker7195]

This album is her signature sound and her most successful album and one of the most successful debut albums in history. I notice that you mention a few times that her voice sounds different and the production is faster/ different than usual when that’s what most thought when they heard ultraviolence 😭😹. It’s fine tho imo honeymoon, nfr, and chemtrails are my fav albums by her and honeymoon is her slowest so be prepared lol

[@rvvrlmfao]

she released the paradise ep and then kinda stuck it onto the end of born to die for a second edition to the album. born to die (paradise edition) [special version] is the full version of the album and i REALLY recommend listening to it😭 soooo many good songs

[@meleh_m]

Found your Lana reactions today, and I’ve watched them all. The fact that you haven’t done Honeymoon which is my personal fav and her best album sonically and lyrical after NFR is criminal. Please do.

[@JoinMolten]

shot in the dark here, but i would LOVE to see you react to 77 live by les rallizes denudes. its a heavy psych/noise rock album from 1977 by these japanese guys and the bassist hijacked a plane, its one of my favourite albums of all time and the story behind the band is so interesting. would love to see you cover any record they've released

[@diiogomgsilva]

I remember when this album came out, I was only 9 but my mom was obsessed with million dollar man and would sing it all the time, and thats how my forever love for lana started

[@阿坤-v3s]

“Blue Banisters” or “honeymoon” is gonna fit your taste in music I think (after watching you reacted to Lana’s albums.

[@IamJustTheBiscuityOfTheSeaity]

There is technically still ONE more album by Aphex Twin thats left, Its Called Melodies From Mars however its unreleased and is currently on KZbin, It has been confirmed before its made by him, it was made when switched over from Analogue technology to Digital

[@gladglimmer]

Based on what you said, I think you would really enjoy her Honeymoon album. She has a deeper sound, great lyrics and it’s very cinematic.

[@notgodga]

DUDE. you would LOVE some prince or madonna. PLEASE check an album from them! (to be more specific, for prince check out Purple Rain, and for madonna check out Ray of Light!)

[@MiguelMikeLopez]

Ray of light is pure gold ❤

[@indie6938]

Ive been waiting for this since your first video. also your hair is awesome

[@jonnyhundley]

Me patiently waiting for Figure 8 by elliot smith to be reviewed 🧍‍♂️

[@wolfbird6613]

Please listen to the bonus tracks! Other albums also had them, please don’t miss them!!

[@Deadplanetops]

I highly recommend Black Country, New Road live at Bush Hall album!

[@SagarSinghUK]

has the music you react to influenced your music in any way?

[@smags1082]

100%

[@rafa-zf2ky]

omg really like ur reactions! also you're so cuuute.... cant wait honeymoon

[@bhamgatsby]

I LOVE THIS ENTIRE ALBUM. But it’s a love or hate first reaction always. This vibe takes time to grow on you. Dark Paradise is my fav. Diet MD was for the longest. Most dudes can’t get past the girlie NY influenced vocals… or the lyric choices

[@MiguelMikeLopez]

I bought the Paradise Edition of Born to die (the original album plus the EP album) and one of my favorite albums 🤗. Please react to Honeymoon album ❤

[@housekinokuni903]

Hyped for Honeymoon

[@1234willali]

Yaaassss. Fav album

[@mad4771]

This isn't actually her debut album as Lana! She released "Lizzy Grant AKA Lana Del Ray" in 2010 but wanted to start new so she took it off everywhere. I think that would also be a good album to react to:)

[@_xavierdelrey_]

Nooo idk why people are saying honeymoon you should now listen to born to die ep addition it has realllyyyy good songs in there with great production and it’s what she realest right after born to diee

[@andyyy1r]

I'm here for Lana but I be really vibing with your classic rock reviews. I love The Doors too (so does Lana).

[@Oni_1]

Him smiling during Million Dollar Man, I know that's right!

[@TanyaPhilipose]

shes also talking ab born to die as in her toxic relationship was doomed from the start. but also born to die as in yolo

[@ingvarvolkov]

Paradise EP - next 😋

[@-shlurp3743]

Hey smaggs, there is this album I really think you would like. Its called The Raven That Refused To Sing by Steven Wilson. It is one of the best albums I've ever heard, me and my dad both share a love for this album. I would really appreciate if you reviewed it, thank you!

[@sealex6890]

Would strongly suggest that you listen to Magnolia Electric Co. By Songs: Ohia. Fantastic record, first track is an all-time great

[@hippierip6695]

Please do some beatles like revolver or abbey road. And please do some more zeppelin like houses of holy or physical graffiti yoo

[@tangerine4665]

8:24 World of warcraft, according to Lana 😂 I am old, so I know what how addictive it is. Used to play it too 😂😂😂

[@skylerringfield2337]

I find that the self-titled EP which preceded this album did a better job with organizing the first 4 tracks. It was… “Video Games” “Born to Die” “Blue Jeans” “Off to the Races” I was never big on “Off to to Races” until I heard it in that order, however, as far as the album version goes, there is something interesting to be said about the chronology. As they go from “Off to the Races” then to “Blue Jeans” and lastly “Video Games,” what actually happens is the album goes back in time to a more innocent point in her life, thus taking a more emotionally ambiguous approach to storytelling within an album.

[@javierfdf2888]

React next to born to die "the paradise edition", 8 new perfect songs in that ep

[@JimGio]

Transatlanticism - Death Cab for Cutie cmon Smags bbgirl I know u wanna

[@sandywich.]

ur gonna love honeymoon ill tell u that ❤ ALSO diet mountain dew is the title cus ig its going with what shes saying “you’re no good for me, but baby i want you.” diet mountain dew is overall horrible for your health, but you crave it ! soo shes talking about the guy she loves but hes not good for her, she knows its not going to be healthy but she craves it (his love).

[@olivierdelrey]

you should definitely listen to honeymoon !!

[@metalyuncle]

Please do Ys. Your mind will be opened to a completely new world

[@electropan]

you should react to honeymoon, it's so good

[@lukehaney3670]

Please finish her discography! Paradise EP or Honeymoon next.

[@shayensehgal4386]

Great reaction, would love to see you react to the Young and Beautiful music video!

[@munoz_nitrous_rs]

Fantastic album...however, I think Ultraviolence is still her magnum opus, followed by NFR. This was an incredible and fresh debut when it released. Bro...another phenomenal artist you should consider is Bat for Lashes.... 'Two Suns' was pretty much a perfect album.

[@kouka7221]

Benji by Sun Kil Moon and Desertshore by Nico

[@svllocyn]

off to the races is a real grower

[@Minnepopin]

You should do Pinkerton By Weezer

[@leobenjamin7950]

I would love a review of either 7 or teen dream by BEACH HOUSE

[@DallasSalladisHere]

Early lana takes me back to high school. You should check out Renaissance by Beyonce

[@piumadebourbon5620]

Wtf was that at 19:28 ?

[@steved310]

Maybe a friend of him named Carmen ?

[@paranoidalex]

off to the races is such a grower- listen to it a couple more times and you’ll get obsessed 😭

[@dapinn8354]

velvet underground third albummmmmmmm

[@zane6868]

Want to get experimental? Check out Not Available by The Residents. Extremely influential (and weird) album

[@kittyluna12]

YES NEXT IS PARADISE EP

[@stackingsaunter]

COME TAKE THE WALK ON THE WILD SIDE 1:58

[@CAMinYYZ]

I still love this album, but I get that it’s not really your taste for the most part. In some ways, it’s starting to show its age, but when it first came out it was revolutionary. At the time there was nothing that sounded like it, and it has been a major influence on pop music ever since. The fact that it’s still on the Billboard 200 after over 500 weeks (a full decade and counting!) is a testament to its sound and continued acclaim. You might like the Paradise EP more. The music and aesthetic were carried forward, but in a more mature and perhaps even darker tone. Also her vocals are more raspy as she was moving toward her Ultraviolence era.

[@nezurf1722]

YASSSS LANA YASSS LANA 🎉🎉❤❤

[@cloakedhaise]

You should listen to the silent hill 2 soundtrack

[@MarS-dc2qx]

It’s better when you watch the music videos and listen to the songs

[@donkeydomination103_bingoJesus]

Jim O'Rourke's "Halfway To a Threeway" would be a treat, think you would really enjoy it 😁

[@lajoiasensational]

react to vulnicura by björk!! it’s an amazing rap album

[@EatTheRich1234]

[@kaienglish1217]

Can you do what’s going on by marvin gaye please. that shit is so beautiful

[@r33m14]

Omg I love this album

[@guitarherops31]

Hey man, if you want to check out a male artist that’s similar vibe to Lana, you should listen to Tamino.. he’s very underrated and doesn’t have many people reacting to his work. His voice is amazing. He has two albums so far but I’d recommend checking out the first one first, “Amir”. I’d love to see your reaction!

[@demian7211]

Paradise edition

[@cloverfield411]

i bet you’ll fall in love with Honeymoon
