    Favorite track: "National Anthem"
    Least favorite track: "Lolita"
    This album is an ambiance all on its own. Lana Del Rey burst onto the scene with this strong debut album, full of biting and provocative lyrics and a delicate mix of alternative and baroque pop. While many over the years have criticized Del Rey's somber vocals, you can't have these kinds of instrumentals and lyrics with a    Favorite track: "National Anthem"

    This album is an ambiance all on its own. Lana Del Rey burst onto the scene with this strong debut album, full of biting and provocative lyrics and a delicate mix of alternative and baroque pop. While many over the years have criticized Del Rey's somber vocals, you can't have these kinds of instrumentals and lyrics with a typical "pop princess" voice. She is singing from the heart, with references to Americana and fame culture - something that she obviously fears but also anticipates with a sort of vengeful excitement. The drums and orchestral arrangements combine to make catchy slow-burners that create a sultry atmosphere: perfect for the excellent songwriting on display.    … Expand

    Born to Die, perhaps lost to the times of now, will be a breakthrough album because it created the foundations for Lana Del Rey. Without this initial reflection on her life, Lana would never have been able to go on to create her most influential songs, notably Ultraviolence, Ride, Cinnamon Girl and much more.

    Can you imagine the world without Lana del Rey's "Born to Die"? She literaly created a aesthetic and a trend in the alternative scene while the whole music industry was worn out from the same songs of different artists. This was the beggining of every indie, alternative trend and she still impacts a lot of artists with her lyrics, melody and aesthetic.

    I was supposed to listen to a very dull and boring album. How wrong I was. "Born To Die" is an incredible indie pop album with its own special atmosphere and order. Every song deserves attention,but not every one of them is perfect and new to the world. Despite this,an excellent album.

    A cohesive album that flows perfectly from track to tack and creates a very mysterious and dark atmosphere for the listener. The melodies are great and creative, songwriting is good overall, the production is great on most songs but on some songs it feels like they were unfinished or downgraded with not so good production.

    Lana Del Rey’s monumental debut album is far from perfect with its repetitive production styling and overall weak, though sometimes genius, lyrical content. However the controversy sparked from this album, paired with Del Rey’s undoubtedly intriguing persona and unique voice, fill her future with nothing but promise and potential.

    With her debut, Lana Del Rey brought a breath of fresh air with a killer aesthetic. Born to Die shares a common feeling of melancholy, toxic love, and youthful dreams that we all live at some point. Of course, Lana’s vocal performance got far better in her following projects, but it doesn’t remove the quality of this record.

    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.

    Heaven is a place on earth with you
    Tell me all the things you wanna do
    I heard that you like the bad girls
    Honey, is that true?
    It's better than I ever even knew
    They say that the world was built for two
    Only worth living if somebody is loving you
    And, baby, now you do
    Singin' in the old bars
    Swingin' with the old stars
    Livin' for the fame
    Kissin' in the blue dark
    Playin' pool and wild darts
    Video games
    He holds me in his big arms
    Drunk and I am seeing stars
    This is all I think of
    Watchin' all our friends fall
    In and out of Old Paul's
    This is my idea of fun
    Playin' video games

As many persons has already praised, the production, the themes, the aesthetics, her persona, everything about this era had a great impact in our culture. Many songs and video clips are iconic: Born To Die is just a perfect and magnificent introduction to Lana Del Rey. Blue Jeans adopts the Old Hollywood aesthetic beautifully, National Anthem is the most sensual, romantic, erotic and sweet hymn to Capitalism and american culture ever made, Summertime Sadness is an iconic song... The non-singles are amazing too, most of them paints this relationship with an old man/drug addict/millionaire/gangster/etc. but in the most frantic, wild, fun and romantic way. You can feel the attractiveness of this dangerous life only this partner can provide.
    10 years later, many people keep discovering and being fascinated by this album because it aged just like wine. Lana Del Rey really changed the pop culture and transformed a lot of more alternative things into mainstream. The legacy of this album will be forever written in the history of music, and how paved the way for many famous artists today like Lorde, Melanie Martinez, Halsey, Billie Eilish, etc.

    O álbum 'Born To Die' é incrível e lindo, mas sinceramente, fiquei triste ao ler as críticas de alguns críticos pois o álbum tem músicas ótimas, Lana traz também uma estética retrô e claro, a frase que tanto amo, "born to die". A vida é uma transição para a morte. Como podem não gostar disso e darem notas baixas??

    Um dos álbuns de debut mais bem feitos da história! Lana foi uma gênia em conseguir colocar todas as faixas que poderiam facilmente ser um single

    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

    Este álbum es un claro ejemplo de “Reset Cultural” ; un sinónimo de la vida musical imitado el arte puro.

    I think I had never connected so much with an album, I have different emotions in each of the songs and I love it, Lana conveys feelings and situations in which I could be at some point in my imagination. The beginning of the album with Born To Die is wonderful for me, just lana's voice is incredible, amazing.

    Uno de los álbumes más influyentes del siglo, extremadamente subestimado por críticos incompetentes que no entienden la obra.
    Sentó las bases para la discografía de Lana del Rey y la de muchas otras artistas que se inspiraron en esta.

    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!

    One of her best works, besides, it's a solid debut album to an artist of the 2010s which influenced most of the pop and indie pop we see today. Honestly, one of the greatest albums of all time.

    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]
