    You’ve [Lana Del Rey] found your own style and run with it. It’s amazing to see someone so free and in control.

    It’s stubbornly retro, and clearly that pleases the provocateur in Del Rey.

    With a little chopped-and-screwed modernity, hints of jazz and Morricone-like soundscapes, there’s a timelessness to Honeymoon, and an intrigue that should linger longer than her previous LPs.

    Honeymoon is by far Del Rey’s most beautifully made and cohesive album.

    Under the cover of midnight, Del Rey has been exploring big ideas about eroticism, drugs, myth, the empty promise of YOLO, what it means to be a woman, and the American soul.

    No matter her self-presentation, her grip, the music is relentlessly Sad--and exhausting in its sadness.

    Del Rey plays a winning strike with Honeymoon's four opening songs: powerful ballads, lain on ethereal and soft arrangements made of smooth strings and jazzy winds.... If 'High By The Beach' still can sustain its four-minutes length, the same unfortunately cannot be said for the most of the following songs.

I was very wrong,Let me first start by saying that Lana is my favourite artist so, i was a little worried that this album will underwhelm me. I was very wrong, the album was great, it was coherent and every song worked on its own and as a part of the whole album. My favourites are Terrence Loves You, High By The Beach, Honeymoon, Salvatore and The Blackest Day. Well, actually every song is amazing. Expand

    TRUE!

    Naturally progressing from song to song is key in making a record sound cohesive, and the structure of Honeymoon makes it an impressively consistent record. The ends of the record have the most sparse songs on them, with the record ending on the hypnotizing cover of Nina Simone's "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood," and throughout the middle of the record you'll find the more beat driven songs that offer a little more in the way of intensity. It's on "Blackest Day," possibly the strongest song on the record, where the intensity boils over into the album's most dramatic song, preparing you for the slow come down of the album's final three tracks. Again, it's impressive how an album with such a slow pulse can keep you so enamored for an hour plus and much of that can be chalked up to the impeccable sequencing.

    For this record, Lana Del Rey went all out with her ambition, bringing her vision to life in a way that only she could. She's making music that only she could make, that possess a unique sound no one else is bringing to the table right now. Many people may have written her off years and years ago, but those of us who have stuck with her because of the potential we saw on tracks like "Video Games" are seeing the pay offs of her growth. It's been an exciting ride thus far and with Honeymoon, things are only getting more exciting as Lana continues to push her art to its limits.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lana del rey. Siempre creí y creo que cada vez se supera esta mujer. Hizo una maravilla con Ultraviolence, pero con Honeymoon hizo introducir nos su sentimiento y claramente "Terrence Loves you" lo dice todo, y no hablar de "The Blackest day". Lana del rey una Diosa usando su voz cordialmente, fantastica. Expand

Depois de nos surpreender com o "Ultraviolence", a Lana vem com mais uma obra de arte chamada "Honeymoon". Não tão sombrio, não tão alegre. Ele é tão difícil de se descrever. Ele é uma mistura de todos os outros álbuns da Lana. "Art Deco" e "Freak" lembra bastante as músicas do Born To Die, enquanto "Swan Song" e "The Blackest Day" lembra as músicas do Ultraviolence. Mais um álbum que define o porque essa mulher é a rainha do Indie, voz única, álbuns perfeitos, eu não sei o que seria de mim se não existisse essa mulher! Expand
