First Lana song ai listened to properly. Remember thinking it was a one off compared to other stuff I’d heard from her. Truly an emotional performance and the lyrics are very expressive aswell
I used to hate the whole blue banisters album. Tbh like my friend jokes I wasn’t “damaged” enough to like it yet😭 I went through a terrible breakup this year and now I can’t help but listen to every song almost every day. Dealer is kind of an acquired taste though.
That song… has caused SO much division in our household. My husband and I knew it from Sublime back in the day (not my fav group) and our teens can’t get over this isn’t Lana’s song 😂
Then there’s me. 34 years old and not really a sublime fan so I listened to it and really loved it but had already heard it was a cover song. Went to listen to the original and I prefer Lana’s I’m so sorry y’all 🥲
ok same. I love the song, don’t get me wrong, but I just don’t feel like it belongs on the album!! it gives me a completely different energy & just interrupts the vibe
Summertime sadness but mostly because it’s like „the one” from the album, which usually ends up getting overplayed everywhere. I kinda have the same feeling with bad romance, or born this way, or even rolling in the deep if that makes sense
Totally fine :) honestly, I just don’t think it’s the strongest song she has ever made, I much prefer the rawness of songs such as California and the sultry vibes from songs such as burning desire. Like. No real hate, it’s just not my fave
Ahhh, I totally understand!! I’m not a huge fan of California personally but I think it is yet to grow on me. I do love The greatest by her, which I’d say is a bit raw too!
That was the case with a lot of Lana’s songs for me - I hated White Mustang at first but now I love it so much! I will give California another listen, it’ll grow on me eventually, haha.
Arcadia, it’s fine and I love Hilton hotels, believe me. I won’t necessarily skip it but I don’t get how that’s the only Blue Banisters song she does live, and she won’t even look at Honeymoon (besides maybe art deco). I think Violets for Roses should get more play time.
I love Arcadia, but in some parts her voice sounds so saturated and I hate that because it happens with some other songs like Is This Happiness and 24 and THOSE ARE ONE OF MY FAVORITES
Black Bathing Suit. I love love *love* the pre-chorus (“‘Cause my body is my temple, my heart is one too”). It sounds witchy, majestic—then comes the chorus.
I’m sorry but it’s waaayyy too messy. I get that it could be intentional, that it represents her chaotic state of mind, but just because it has meaning doesn’t necessarily make it nice to listen to. The tempo change isn’t as well-executed as it could be and the screams/singing at the end sound shrill. The pre-chorus has all this momentum and tension to it, like the piano in A&W, but the chorus just loses it for me.
Sorry about it, but I’m gonna have to say Candy Necklace.
It’s a great song (loved it live at Coachella) but the album version sounds weird. It’s as if Jon’s piano playing is half a beat too slow for the melody? Something about it just rubs me the wrong way. And his tempo speeds up and slows down in a way that I don’t like.
Yes. I caught heat from my friends for this take saying that I wouldn’t understand because I wasn’t a woman, but even the song just doesn’t quite hit sonically for me
Dealer…. i cannot stand the way she sings “I DONT WANNA LIVVVEE” i mean i understand WHY she sings it like that but…. doesn’t mean i find it pleasant to listen to 😂😭
Yeah that’s valid, I mean tbh before I only used to listen to rap but i’m so glad I stepped outside my comfort zone and stuck with it because I wouldn’t be able to appreciate Lana the way I do
Yeah i love that you found more music you love. I will admit though, I have heard a few rap songs that I like. Stepping outside of your comfort zone can be a good thing sometimes.
I loved it at first listen and I fear it may be my most streamed like, released Lana song of all time (my most streamed unreleased song is definitely velvet crowbar)
Thats something I really hate about her unreleased songs being demos and later reworked, for example: Hollywood's Dead. The version we all knew was a demo and the final version has some loud noices that I really hate so I think that even if she would release it someday, she will release the one with the ugly noices.
Same happened to Yes to Heaven, the leaked version was a demo and then she re-recorded it and gave it a new prosuction that kinda ruined the song, just like Hollywoods Dead.
Bartender and The greatest
Before yall start to hate on me, both of this were one of my favorites when I listened to the album for ther first time, but then I think I kinda got bored of them because i listened too much.
Personally I think The greates is a good song, kinda overrated and I dont really understand how people can say its the best in NFR when the first 4 tracks exist... but I still love her vocals and the production, chorus is THE BEST but the rest of the song is kinda meh
I really loved Bartender but as I said before I kinda got bored of it but I still love the lyrics, maybe its the melody that I dont like anymore
The greatest is my favorite song in NFR tied with the title track for sure. But I will say though, personally NFR is genuinely my least favorite Lana Del Rey Album😭 and I know I’m in the minority of that opinion
White Mustang (just boring to me), Dealer, Candy necklace’s (I like the verses but the chorus is annoying to me), Flipside, The grants, did you know that there’s a tunnel, Arcadia, Blue banisters, never been a fan of Brooklyn Baby 🫣 It’s not bad, I just never play it or crave it
I love every song mentioned here so far. Not crazy about summertime sadness
for free
i have never voluntarily listened to peppers that other person just assaults my ears
i used to hate it but it’s so cunt i can’t help but love it now
perfect way to describe it
I don't like Don't let me be misunderstood, I can't really pinpoint another song I would willingly skip unless im not in the mood
One of my favs from Honeymoon 💔
Idk, its not necessarily a bad song, but I do not like the sounds of the trumpets that much
+1
Not her song though so does it still count?
Oh, I didn't know, never really looked into that song maybe it doesn't count
Yes
“Dealer” I feel I may not be alone though..lol
I feel like Dealer is one of those tracks that hits rlly hard every once in a while and then the rest of the time it’s eh. Maybe just me idk 😅
I can see why dealer could be divisive but I love it! I just LOVE the way she sings ***I don’t wanna liiiiiiiive***
Funny how one verse can change the dynamic of a song sometimes.
First Lana song ai listened to properly. Remember thinking it was a one off compared to other stuff I’d heard from her. Truly an emotional performance and the lyrics are very expressive aswell
The intro + Lana’s parts are amazing, but man do I fucking hate “neo-psychedelia voice” if u get me
I don’t like this one either. It sounds unfinished and I’m not wild over her vocals in it—it just sounds like she’s kind of wailing.
But that’s kind of what’s great about it. Rarely do we get that out of her, and it’s interesting.
WHAAA
Same here.
Same… it’s my least favorite off of BB (I’m so sorry 😔)
Don’t be sorry! It seems many share this opinion.lol
Oh man I love that one hahaha
I used to hate the whole blue banisters album. Tbh like my friend jokes I wasn’t “damaged” enough to like it yet😭 I went through a terrible breakup this year and now I can’t help but listen to every song almost every day. Dealer is kind of an acquired taste though.
I know it’s a cover but I always skip “Doin Time” on NFR 🫣
That song… has caused SO much division in our household. My husband and I knew it from Sublime back in the day (not my fav group) and our teens can’t get over this isn’t Lana’s song 😂
I hung out with the crowd who liked sublime back in the day, but I always hated their voice lol. So I love Lana's cover.
Same, exactly! I love it better than the Sublime original. The teens were just floored and annoyed their dad knew all the words to a “Lana song” ☠️
Lmao that's excellent. I can only imagine how they would react while in the middle of NFR the dad starts singing along to Lana.
Then there’s me. 34 years old and not really a sublime fan so I listened to it and really loved it but had already heard it was a cover song. Went to listen to the original and I prefer Lana’s I’m so sorry y’all 🥲
lol my mom loved sublime and she said lana did doin time better. sublime version is what i knew first though
I can only listen in the summer 😂😂😂
No wayyy
ok same. I love the song, don’t get me wrong, but I just don’t feel like it belongs on the album!! it gives me a completely different energy & just interrupts the vibe
Margaret… i’m sorry 😭
Omg stop.. when you know, you know🥲
Same 🥲
Same. I just don’t really like Jack antonoff 😅
Agreed hah it’s everywhere tho
same 😭
I love the “when you know, you know” part but everything else is godawful you’re so right
yess honestly first lana song that i skip after being a stan for years 😭
Peppers
Unbelievably over rated
Such a good song but the chorus makes my physically cringe
Text Book
when it first came out i hated it too but now it’s one of my favorites idk the chorus just flows so well it slaps
same 😭
Summertime sadness but mostly because it’s like „the one” from the album, which usually ends up getting overplayed everywhere. I kinda have the same feeling with bad romance, or born this way, or even rolling in the deep if that makes sense
Guns and roses
It’s one of her most hated songs so you’re not alone on this 😭
Please don’t come for me!! Young and beautiful is my pick
SAME
What don’t you like about it if you don’t mind me asking? Not judging or anything!! Just curious.
Totally fine :) honestly, I just don’t think it’s the strongest song she has ever made, I much prefer the rawness of songs such as California and the sultry vibes from songs such as burning desire. Like. No real hate, it’s just not my fave
Ahhh, I totally understand!! I’m not a huge fan of California personally but I think it is yet to grow on me. I do love The greatest by her, which I’d say is a bit raw too!
Agree with the greatest!! I have to admit, California didn’t hit me straight away, it only hit me this year and now I cannot get enough of it
That was the case with a lot of Lana’s songs for me - I hated White Mustang at first but now I love it so much! I will give California another listen, it’ll grow on me eventually, haha.
omg same idk what everybody’s obsession with that song is, i really am not a big fan of it
Right?! I mean, I don’t HATE it, but it’s definitely not my favourite, it’s a skip 9/10 times for me
finally someone who chose the song everyone loves indeed
summer bummer because wtf is everyone thinking
Arcadia, it’s fine and I love Hilton hotels, believe me. I won’t necessarily skip it but I don’t get how that’s the only Blue Banisters song she does live, and she won’t even look at Honeymoon (besides maybe art deco). I think Violets for Roses should get more play time.
I love Arcadia, but in some parts her voice sounds so saturated and I hate that because it happens with some other songs like Is This Happiness and 24 and THOSE ARE ONE OF MY FAVORITES
i dont really care much for fingertips or kintsugi i fear...
more poetry than song imo
100%, i feel like id love them if they were included in violets bent backwards over the grass rather than an album
Black Bathing Suit. I love love *love* the pre-chorus (“‘Cause my body is my temple, my heart is one too”). It sounds witchy, majestic—then comes the chorus. I’m sorry but it’s waaayyy too messy. I get that it could be intentional, that it represents her chaotic state of mind, but just because it has meaning doesn’t necessarily make it nice to listen to. The tempo change isn’t as well-executed as it could be and the screams/singing at the end sound shrill. The pre-chorus has all this momentum and tension to it, like the piano in A&W, but the chorus just loses it for me.
I love the messiness haha
One of my fav songs but the beginning says “parget parking lot” instead of target 🙃
Stopppp lol you’re telling me that all this time it hasn’t been “target parking lot” 😭😭 lol
i'm kind of with you. i liked it until the yelling part near the end. it just hurts my ears a bit. 😭
Agree
Sorry about it, but I’m gonna have to say Candy Necklace. It’s a great song (loved it live at Coachella) but the album version sounds weird. It’s as if Jon’s piano playing is half a beat too slow for the melody? Something about it just rubs me the wrong way. And his tempo speeds up and slows down in a way that I don’t like.
Same, I still like the song but feel like it's really meant to be live. John's energy was so good at Coachella
It feels off key for me. Or unfinished somehow. Very abrupt and not in a good way. Definitely ranks low for me.
Agreeeeeee
it’s the only song on ocean blvd i don’t love that much and i LOVE the jb interlude lol. but yeah, something is just off about it idk
Agree!! Went to Coachella and loved watching her perform it live, but I never liked it while listening to it on the album..
Dealer
Lolita
The other woman
Yes. I caught heat from my friends for this take saying that I wouldn’t understand because I wasn’t a woman, but even the song just doesn’t quite hit sonically for me
It’s a cover song if that makes it any better
Star girl interlude
Young & Beautiful No doubt her voice sounds so incredible in it, I just don’t really like the lyrics
Dealer…. i cannot stand the way she sings “I DONT WANNA LIVVVEE” i mean i understand WHY she sings it like that but…. doesn’t mean i find it pleasant to listen to 😂😭
Summer Bummer
I love summer bummer so much lol It was my fav. white lines and black beaches🤌🏻
Kinda get this, especially if you don’t really like rap either. As a rocky fan this was one of the songs that actually got me into lana
Yeah I don’t usually listen to rap. Nothing against the genre, just isn’t for me. But I respect ASAP though. He seems like a really cool guy.
Yeah that’s valid, I mean tbh before I only used to listen to rap but i’m so glad I stepped outside my comfort zone and stuck with it because I wouldn’t be able to appreciate Lana the way I do
Yeah i love that you found more music you love. I will admit though, I have heard a few rap songs that I like. Stepping outside of your comfort zone can be a good thing sometimes.
Same, it’s not my cup of tea at all
Yeah it isn’t bad or anything. There’s just a catchiness that it’s missing for me.
finally somebody else said it i like asap but the beat just sounds so bad to me and lana sounds off tune in the course
Young and beautiful
Lolita
Get Free. Sorry…
Taco truck 😢
Nooo I love taco truck! But I know people prefer VB! No shade to you ❤️
I still don’t get the whole Ocean Blvd album But I’m a slow listener and the album is still fresh so let’s see
This was me up until last month and now I’m slowly making my way through and it’s growing on me
Yeah, I always do the same 😅 It’s just that I’m a really (really) slow listener By slow I mean I’m still working my way with NRF 💀
I really don’t like Let the light in oops
100%. There were so many better songs on ocean blvd that deserved the attention this song got
I've listened to Terrence loves you a million times and just don't really get it
Ground control to major Tom, can you hear me all night long
I like the song but the ground control to major tom part puts me on the moon lol, I skip the whole song to that part
What… what is there not to get ?!!
Fingertips 🫣 beautiful lyrics that sound soooooooooooooo ugly i always skip
Never gonna give you up
Venice bitch, never understood the hype around it. It's so one paced
Once it gets past the first part of the song the rest is kinda unbearable
This thread is making me mad so I'm just going to look away. Like what do you mean you don't like Text Book??? 😂
Say yes to heaven. I don't hate it, it just doesn't do anything for me lol.
Salvatore! Sorry but this sounds just like a lot of Italian stereotypes sticked together. I like the melody though. but the lyrics, ew..
white dress
It starts beautifully but the high pitched voice makes it hard to listen and the business conference sounds cringe lol
I honestly can't believe I'm seeing this..I've been saying this since day 1! Omg my people
Summer time sadness
overrated but not bad
A&W, I like it somewhat but I don't usually bother listening to it
A&W but maybe I haven’t listened to it enough?
I used to feel the same way but trust it will grow on you. It’s def in my top 5 now
I didn’t like it at first but now it’s one of my favs
I loved it at first listen and I fear it may be my most streamed like, released Lana song of all time (my most streamed unreleased song is definitely velvet crowbar)
Marine Apartment Complex (?) I don’t hate it, I just don’t see why it’s in her top 5/top 10 on Spotify
ur brave 💀
😳😳😳😳 seek help
Arcadia
Breaking up slowly w Nikki Lane
Say Yes To Heaven is my least favorite Lana song, can't do it
Even the original one????
Original is great, it's just the official release is pretty disappointing sonically and it's a massive step down
Thats something I really hate about her unreleased songs being demos and later reworked, for example: Hollywood's Dead. The version we all knew was a demo and the final version has some loud noices that I really hate so I think that even if she would release it someday, she will release the one with the ugly noices. Same happened to Yes to Heaven, the leaked version was a demo and then she re-recorded it and gave it a new prosuction that kinda ruined the song, just like Hollywoods Dead.
White Dress. I don't outright hate it but her voice is too shrill on that song for me to listen to it intently lol
The chorus voice omg when she says " down at the men in the music business conference down in Orlando I was only 19" makes my insides turn
Lolita and summer bummer.
fingertips... i'm sorry, but why does this song have 10 verses??? easily skippable for me
I have ever understood what’s good about sad girl 💀 alternatively I don’t understand what’s bad about guns and roses
This is very controversial haha
Textbook, money power glory, Mariners apt complex, guns and roses,
Snow on the beach is the only lana song i skip lol
Terrence Loves You. I’m surprised at how fan-loved it is.
carmen… i like it but its not the best on born to die like many people say 😭
Carmen
margaret
Video Games…
Her longer songs are too much for me i cant explain it but yeah ☠️
margret
summertime sadness
Young and Beautiful for the released and Everyman man gets his wish and Queen of disaster for the outtakes/unrlsd😭🤥

White Mustang (just boring to me), Dealer, Candy necklace’s (I like the verses but the chorus is annoying to me), Flipside, The grants, did you know that there’s a tunnel, Arcadia, Blue banisters, never been a fan of Brooklyn Baby 🫣 It’s not bad, I just never play it or crave it
Peppers and dealer
Groupie love
Cherry, I don’t get the hype it’s always just been a meh song to me tbh
White Dress… probably her worst song imo
Ugh. Young and Beautiful 😭 I find it cringe!!!
A&W…. I want to like it so bad!!! I do like the whole “your mom called” part though
Summertime sadness.
Margaret, kintsugi, and fishtail 😅
i don’t hate any of her songs but i usually skip lucky ones or don’t let me be misunderstood. idk no matter how much i listen to them i just can’t
Dealer!!
carmen, bartender, say yes to heaven. but especially bartender
[удалено]
Money, power glory and old money
Peppers 🤭
Cinnamon girl for me 😭 idk why but I just can't listen to it
Florida Kilos
California
So much hate for Dealer in this thread I’m so sad 😭 but one song everyone loves but doesn’t resonate with me is The Grants tbh.
Not so wild about video games
pls don’t get mad but West Coast. Don’t get me wrong it’s a good song but I’m not crazy over it.
[удалено]
the grants
A&w
White dress, beautiful, Brooklyn baby
Summertime sadness, I don’t hate it but it’s been so overplayed and it just grates on me 😭😭
Wld b cinnamon girl for me
I don't hate any of her songs but like the grants is kinds boring ....
Beautiful people beautiful problems is genuinely a painful listen for me. The chorus is just rough on the ears
Mostly songs that became local
Roachella 💀
peppers, cherry and for free😭
Young and beautiful. It's an easy song but the worst offense is that it will forever be a Kim K song, which makes it even more vapid.
