    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Poucas músicas se salvam nesse álbum, assim como em Chemtrails, a Lana parece repetir uma fórmula simples de músicas a base de pianos e melodias chatas.… Expand

    The second album in a row with only piano and almost no drums. Listening is very boring, you fall asleep to the songs. There are some good songs on the album, the rest I didn't like. Soon she will switch to a whisper and will sing like that. I'm a Lana fan, but the last 2 albums suck. I need drums, it would be much better that way. Some songs have them, and they are very good.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ve been listening to Lana since 2010. I’ve loved almost all of her albums but unfortunately this one is by far the worst. Her last 3 albums seem extremely repetitive. With this album, the songs all sound EXACTLY the same. They are, in my opinion, plain boring. Don’t get me wrong, most of her lyrics are great but just the way they are sang and the tracks produced are not good. Instead of singing it’s like she’s whispering. There’s no beat, no rhythm, no catch. It’s just piano. I wish she would stop singing like this and add instruments to her songs. I was so excited for this album. I am unbelievably disappointed.… Expand

    The only good thing I can say about this album is that it is consistent. I did not like any of it. Slow, moody, borrowed themes and ultimately pointless.

    El problema con este álbum es que no es malo es muy aburrido y con cero evolución a sus trabajos anteriores.

    This professional's work leaves much to be desired. Despite attempting to convey a nostalgic and authentic aesthetic, their efforts feel forced and lacking in sincerity. Although they try to create a personal connection with their clients, their results are superficial and lack emotional depth.

Despite attempting to convey a nostalgic and authentic aesthetic, their efforts feel forced and lacking in sincerity. Although they try to create a personal connection with their clients, their results are superficial and lack emotional depth. They seem more interested in maintaining an appearance of authenticity than providing genuine and meaningful service. Their lack of evolution and creativity is reflected in their work, which falls short in terms of quality and originality. Their supposed biographical closeness and sincerity appear to be more of a strategy to attract clients rather than a genuine expression of their talent. In summary, this fictional professional is a disappointment and falls short in terms of authenticity and quality in their work… Expand

    The album is so bland I could barely get through the entire album the only good song is A&W and the only thing that makes it good is the second half of the song! Don’t waste your time with this album just listen to NFR or Chemtrails ! It’s just not worth it !

    Lana Del Rey is one of the most prolific and high quality artists to hit the mainstream over the last 10 years or so. She's always got something interesting to say and delivers it in a style she has made her own. This album is a grower and it is still revealing itself to me. At it's best, this album is peak Del Rey but it has to be said there is a bit of filler here that could do withLana Del Rey is one of the most prolific and high quality artists to hit the mainstream over the last 10 years or so.

At it's best, this album is peak Del Rey but it has to be said there is a bit of filler here that could do with trimming. If you take "Chemtrails..", "Blue Bannisters" and this album, you could get 2 top class albums out of them. As it stands, we have 3 really good ones that continue to bear fruit long after their initial releases. "Paris, Texas" and "Let the Light In" are the standout highlights but it's an album that most definitely deserves the listeners attention.… Expand

    Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd is a 16-track, 78-minute album, and some of it will lose even her most ardent fans. Track eight is where it regains itself through the extended metaphor of “Kintsugi”: a Japanese term for a pottery repair technique that calls attention to the crack rather than hides it. .... [After “Margaret”] There are three more tracks, though.

    If you've not already bought into the LDR mythos, it's like joining a long-form TV show midway through its difficult fourth season. [Jun 2023, p.26]

    So while Del Rey is still the same sepia-tinted, sun-soaked American aesthete that she once was, there are real lifetime stamps all over Did you know that conjure a biographical sincerity, instigating a personal closeness.
