    Como evitei esse nome e com apenas um flash, uma cena de Blue Jeans, me encontrei apaixonado(leia-se obcecado) pelo modo dela escrever e interpretar suas canções, não é um disco completamente perfeito, mas chega bem perto, well, I'm waiting for my heaven

    Cada canción se disfruta de principio a fin, un gran álbum con hermosas letras y ritmos movidos.

    Born To Die is possibly one of the greatest alternative albums of all time; it influenced many new alternative artists. It is cohesive, beautifully written and it really is worth listening.

    Lana é uma artista incrível. Born to Die será um album lembrado eternamente, se tornou atemporal. Qualidade e som impecável, sinto muito pelos criticos não entenderem a arte da Lana.

    Amazing debut album by the best all around female artist I’ve ever heard. Any dummy saying she can’t sing or wasn’t ready for an album is brain dead

    each song it's a whole journey. From the very beginning to the end, it's just a masterpiece.

    Born to die foi o album que me fez se apaixonar pelo trabalho da Lana. Eu tenho certeza que esse álbum foi um grande marco na carreira dela, com musicas mundialmente conhecidas como Born to die, Video Games, Nathional Athem, Carmen...

    I love this album. It's a huge one for Lana as she solidified her status and skyrocketed to fame. It's wonderful, practically poetry. The beautiful melancholy marketed the album to many and made her a household name. The album is dreamy, yet heavy. I love this album it certainly deserves better reviews.

    Quite of a nice album by Miss Del Ray (except for some cringy lyrics , bt mainly just that) , easy light 8 for me with an score of 8.4 . Favorites were ´´Born To Die`` ,´´Off To The Races``.

    I want to be taken back to my first listen because as soon as my ears heard this genius album, I fell in love!! Its easily a cult favorite and was destined to be, this was the base for lana to continue to making better and better albums.

    Honestly best album ever. It has no skips every song is a 10/10. It shocks me that its her least appreciated album by critics.

    ONE OF THE GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME
    just how Lana was able to introduce all of us to a new kind of pop music and how she was able to combine a very pop style to a 50's beauty queen aestethic.
    Lana really is one of the biggest artist of the world right now

    lana Del Rey’s first album was amazing at its time, but lyrics don’t compare to its future projects. Not to say born to die as many bops and my personal favourites

    Born to die is one of Lana Del Reys most popular albums for a reason. Many of the songs have special and personal messages in them. My favorite song is Radio, it is eclectic and dreamy, yet a positive song with a powerful meaning. Highly recommend for new Lana Del Rey listeners!

    Spread over 12 songs, Del Rey becomes so ordinary, even bland, that no amount of little girl vocals or pouting can save her.

    Tune out the background media noise and immerse yourself. [Mar 2012, p.94]

    Confirms her as the most compelling new pop star around: half doomed romantic, half mordant cynic, with a distinctively conflicted vision of how love, fame and America work. [Mar 2012, p.94]
