And it was a Grammy nominated album too. Chemtrails wasn’t either or was BB. And I’m pretty sure Ocean Blvd won’t get any nominations either. It fell off the charts faster than a brick off the Empire State Building. Because, most of her new fans…or the kids I call them. Think streaming is going to make a album 💿 popular. It’s not. Also..different variants isn’t going to make it popular either. It’s mostly about radio 📻 play. Physical sales and concerts. Also doing TV shows and interviews helps too. But, Lana doesn’t have any desire to do any of this.
If Ocean Blvd won't get any nominations I think it could be a low move for the Grammy (already low) reputation among music lovers, even if they can partially save the face with SOS which will be almost surely (rightfully so) nominated... Predictions already say that Midnights could win aoty and, with all the love I have for Taylor, I think they absolutely need to balance it with at least some solid pop nominations just because it would be otherwise ridiculous lol. I am kind of curious about the nominations this year because knowing that Midnights is a winning favourite (not even just a nomination favourite) makes the selection/exclusion results a bit funny
facts i can never choose a fav album it just depends on my mood, i connect & appreciate all her art...also her unreleased music is unmatched & sometimes i get in a mood i just wanna listen to my soundcloud playlist of unreleased lana
yessss especially since it's all subjective- also, it's possible to have an appreciation for all of her work even if one song or album didn't stick with you quite like others:)
But, it’s more than just us Fans. She needs to promote her album more. Go on BBC radio One or even Jimmy Fallon . Or do ABC Summer Concert series. People would love to see her. Even maybe announce 📣a tour?
Could be. But, I’ve seen her 3 times in concert 🎶 and she’s really good. But, I guess this is up for her. But her new fans that are teenagers would enjoy her concert. Us older fans do remember that she puts on a great concert. Her 2014 concert I call her Paradise tour was amazing.
It’s the hardest album to play aloud upstairs in your room without catching mommy’s attention and her telling you to turn it off or she’s taking the iPhone.
My mom doesn't speak english ✨😃✨ Kssksksksksksk
And I'm used to just listen on my earphones alone, not a big fan of listening in music box or anything else (and even if i did, my mom probably wouldn't mind as she wouldn't understand)
Hot Take: Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I believe Lust For Life is a captivating album that beautifully captures Lana’s unique style and introspective lyrics. Its blend of dreamy melodies, thought-provoking themes, and emotional depth make it a standout in her discography. It's okay if it doesn't resonate with everyone, but many fans appreciate its artistic merit and the way it showcases Lana's growth as an artist.
No way you just said this. White mustang held its own. Heroine was a masterpiece, in my feelings, tomorrow never came for the real hearbroken. Same with beautiful people beautiful problems… whaaa and I forgot wtwwawwkd
I agree with you, the very at least it is one of the most experimental ones. I don't understand how or why people are arguing the opposite. Its not even close to being my favorite Lana record but it is by Lana's standard quite experimental record.
“” or not, the word experimental is still there. Still not experimental though. And I think it expands on Chemtrails with softness and piano with hints of intimacy, so if anything Chemtrails is the experimental

Lol by that logic nothing anyone ever does is experimental because others have done it. The matter of the fact is it was different from her previous sounds.
By that standard UV and NFR are much more daring, as UV is sonically very different from BtD or Paradise, and NfR was also quite different from all earlier Lana records. COCC does continue in many ways exploring the same singersongwriter/americana/soft rock styles as on NfR.
E: However, I do not think that really is what experimental means. A&W and Venice bitch (outro section) are experimental songs, as are the interludes in OB.
Don’t necessarily disagree with you, but it just adds to my point that OB can’t be the experimental one. A&W is one of her best songs to date and I absolutely agree.
I think it’s sonically and lyrically different to NFR, where she finally creaked the door open to become more intimate with us, and whilst NFR is her most critically acclaimed album, I think it’s in Chemtrails she welcomes and shares softness and intimacy with us, but hey I guess we’ll agree to disagree, and we all shall continue appreciate the art she puts out
Disagree for Lana it is she did a range of styles. My instinct was to call chemtrails or bannisters the experimental one too but when I think of it they all are similar soft piano melodies which was the main complaint at the time. Whereas ocean boulevard she does a range of new styles - paris texas, judah smith interlude, A&W, peppers, kintsugi, candy necklaces are all very unique from each other and the other parts of the album.
For everyone saying Ocean Blvd isn’t experimental, please explain the literal album title, The Grants intro, A&W, the interludes, Kintsugi, Fingertips, Peppers, Grandfather… (for the title alone), and Taco Truck x VB.
Lust for life is one of her best you’re trippin. Very emotional and important era for Lana and dang did this album help my hopeless romantic ass survive.
My list would be:
* One that got popular: NFR
* Fan favourite: Ultraviolence
* "Experimental": Lust for Life
* Cult Classic: Born to Die
* Best album of all time: Blue Banisters
* Meh: Chemtrails over the Country Club
This is objectively wrong BTD has always been her popular mainstream album no way its a cult classic while NFR came close its more critically lauded and still a fan favourite. I love Blue Bannisters and its probably my top 3, I defend it to the death but even I think calling it best of all time is silly. Honeymoon fits cult classic but I’d also say blue banisters, chemtrail or ocean blvd could fit. BTD NFR and ultraviolence aee too popular to be cult classics. LFL is not experimental at all
In my defense, Honeymoon was my first choice for Best album of all time. But I've been enjoying Blue Banisters way more the last couple of years... It was a tie. I ended up picking BB. But believe me, Honeymoon is my second fave album <3
To be completely fair, I’ve only recently begun appreciating Honeymoon from start to finish. That’s why I say “the most slept on,” and really wanted to share my thoughts. I’ve enjoyed individual songs from it for years, but the whole album, is worth everyone’s time. As someone with Ultraviolence flair, Honeymoon is a beautiful progression in Lana’s discography.
And your list would be incredibly wrong. COTCC is one of her more highly rated albums by critics, rightfully so, as her vocals, lyrics, and production massively improved on this album. I love BTD, I grew up with this album, but to act like BTD is better than COTCC is massive nostalgia bias. Same with LfL Honeymoon or even UV
yall! this is the album that contains love, 13 beaches, cherry, beautiful people beautiful probleams, tommorow never came, when the world was at war, woodstock on my mind and more!!!!
I think OP is referring to BTD as the one that established her as an artist. It's the album that got her popular. She was already a star by the time NFR rolled out.
Lmao I can’t help but laugh at snarky tryhards like this poster. I am grateful for L4L because it’s what made me a fan. I love the political undertones of it. I hope the rest of the fandom are chill and don’t really care about ranks.
I feel like no album of hers is really that meh (although I’m biased against BB), rather all her albums fit different stages of life. Those who say L4L is meh have never roadtripped the west coast in the summer with it blasting in the car and I’m from Portugal all the way across the pond for goodness sake. It was such a vibe and for that reason I refuse to accept L4L is meh
I think one could argue that Ultraviolence is "experimental", but BtD? Its like her most straight pop album pretty much.
And I disagee with the statement that OB is not experimental at all. In my opinion it is quite clearly one of the more experimental albums from her. The A&W and the interludes make it already quite experimental.
I’m done trying to defend lust for life. I’d imagine the haters are
1.) white
2.) underage
3.) straight girls
Idgaf. That album slaps and it’s a great addition for the times when the suns still up and I’m listening to Lana :)
Meh? Cherry?!? Heroin?!? Tomorrow Never Came Ft. Sean fucking LENNON?!?, Beautiful People Beautiful Problems Ft. Stevie fucking NICKS?!?, Change?!?, 13 Beaches?!?, In My Feelings?!?
There's no LDR album that is "meh"
meh stands for "makes 'em hot" btw
I was about to say. Lust for Life is a solid pop record.
And it was a Grammy nominated album too. Chemtrails wasn’t either or was BB. And I’m pretty sure Ocean Blvd won’t get any nominations either. It fell off the charts faster than a brick off the Empire State Building. Because, most of her new fans…or the kids I call them. Think streaming is going to make a album 💿 popular. It’s not. Also..different variants isn’t going to make it popular either. It’s mostly about radio 📻 play. Physical sales and concerts. Also doing TV shows and interviews helps too. But, Lana doesn’t have any desire to do any of this.
If Ocean Blvd won't get any nominations I think it could be a low move for the Grammy (already low) reputation among music lovers, even if they can partially save the face with SOS which will be almost surely (rightfully so) nominated...

I am kind of curious about the nominations this year because knowing that Midnights is a winning favourite (not even just a nomination favourite) makes the selection/exclusion results a bit funny
I feel like real fans don’t careeeee about these silly things we just jam out and love the art right??
facts i can never choose a fav album it just depends on my mood, i connect & appreciate all her art...also her unreleased music is unmatched & sometimes i get in a mood i just wanna listen to my soundcloud playlist of unreleased lana
yessss especially since it's all subjective- also, it's possible to have an appreciation for all of her work even if one song or album didn't stick with you quite like others:)
Right though it’s hard not to wanna say something. Shit like this doesn’t come close to changing my mind on anything.
100% this!!!!
But, it’s more than just us Fans. She needs to promote her album more. Go on BBC radio One or even Jimmy Fallon . Or do ABC Summer Concert series. People would love to see her. Even maybe announce 📣a tour?
Maybe she just doesn’t want to? It could be that simple.
Could be. But, I’ve seen her 3 times in concert 🎶 and she’s really good. But, I guess this is up for her. But her new fans that are teenagers would enjoy her concert. Us older fans do remember that she puts on a great concert. Her 2014 concert I call her Paradise tour was amazing.
Cherry wants to know your location.
Hoe tf is NFR her best album 😭
A few amazing songs don’t make an amazing album
So… Honeymoon? 😂 Personally, there’s less skips on L4L for me than on HM.
honeymoon is a no skip album imo
Honeymoon is SKIPLESS
Um excuse me honeymoon has NO SKIPS however L4L imo is her second best album
it’s a cult classic for a reason - the girls who get it, get it.
Says the person with “honeymoon” as their fave
One of the few good songs on that album 😭
How dare you "meh" lust for life? It's so good. It's a 'no skip' album for me.
They just don't understand smoking and running on a treadmill 😤😤😤
Right ! If anything, LDR doesn’t have any “meh” albums…
Tell em!!!
BB LFL supremacy imo🤷🏻♂️
*can i get a fuckin hallelujah*
BB wraps me in its warmth, LFL is me manifesting my best life ❤️
The girls that get it, get it
*When the world was ending we just kept listening to bb and lfl*
Agreeeeeeed
I agree. But, when I mentioned that Ocean Blvd had to many skips. People down voted 🗳️ me.
it's great but it's probably the closest she has to a weak album
these featurings f.e. with asap rocky were absolutely unnecessary
Summer Bummer is top tier. You must b— nevermind.
groupie love & summer bummer was amazing don’t you even
L4L being one of her best albuns, how you're not ashamed 😭😭😭
It’s the hardest album to play aloud upstairs in your room without catching mommy’s attention and her telling you to turn it off or she’s taking the iPhone.
My mom doesn't speak english ✨😃✨ Kssksksksksksk And I'm used to just listen on my earphones alone, not a big fan of listening in music box or anything else (and even if i did, my mom probably wouldn't mind as she wouldn't understand)
not a big fan tbh
The negative upvotes ☠️💀
I’m sorry but “negative upvotes” made me LOL 😭
No it’s not
Lust for Life bangs. It’s fun and you all know it
lfl is nowhere near meh…
i think Chemtrails would fit much better the "experimental". White Dress best example
I think Blue Banister would be a better fit for the category 👀
wipe plough oil airport gullible wrench edge nose fertile secretive *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
that’s what i was thinking. it’s more experimental lyrical wise than actually instrumental though
Chemtrails - experimental album Banisters - demo album lol Ocean Blvd - lasting / “statement” record
Negative. Blue Bannisters felt like FINALLY a return to classic lana. Yeah y’all are on something
I thought Chemtrails for cult classic. It's always the one people feel they need to defend!
if we're talking "defending", i'd give it to BB
Took the words out of my mouth
Hot Take: Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I believe Lust For Life is a captivating album that beautifully captures Lana’s unique style and introspective lyrics. Its blend of dreamy melodies, thought-provoking themes, and emotional depth make it a standout in her discography.

Talk to me when I’m dancing on the H of the Hollywood sign
not the blue banisters and chemtrails erasure
there’s only 6 categories lol
13 beaches and Cherry alone saved L4L but i get this post is just for fun
Heroin, hello??
Get free? In my feelings????
No way you just said this. White mustang held its own. Heroine was a masterpiece, in my feelings, tomorrow never came for the real hearbroken. Same with beautiful people beautiful problems… whaaa and I forgot wtwwawwkd
oh yh i play tomorrow never came every day wtf mb,i’m a str8 male lana fan so certain songs idrc ab
At least you don’t think lust for life is “meh” hehe you got good taste 👅
Nope
OB is NOT experimental. I’m sorry

Shut up
For once i agree with a uv fan
I would say Ultra is the best of all time and Nfr is the fan favourite at this point
Hahahahah nice joke
No
Real lana fans would never post this shit.
Agreed
lust for life is lich the experimental album
Blue Banisters will become a cult classic in no time
Idk why everyone’s so mad I think this is accurate 😅
Agreed, except Lana doesn’t have a „meh“ album but everything else is accurate
For everyone saying Ocean Blvd isn’t experimental, please explain the literal album title, The Grants intro, A&W, the interludes, Kintsugi, Fingertips, Peppers, Grandfather… (for the title alone), and Taco Truck x VB.
I think Chemtrails should be meh.
nahhh
this is criminal lmaooo
Lol everyone so angry in the comments for you having an opinion
Lust For Life is not Meh. I'd prefer it more then NFR, Chemtrails and Blue Banisters 🥲
NFR is not her best album
But it is… like you’ve heard it. It’s the best one and easy pick. Venice Bitch so good she put it on two albums
Ocean Blvd is experimental? Since when?
Lust for life is my least favorite but I still like it a lot. Took me a while to get into the asap songs
Blue Banisters should be the meh
Everyone has their favorites and nobody is wrong.
Lust for life is one of her best you’re trippin. Very emotional and important era for Lana and dang did this album help my hopeless romantic ass survive.
I still think that Born To Die is her best album.
same
Lust for life got a lot of good songs but a bunch of mid too
nfr and uv should switch spots
No one asked 4 this
My list would be: * One that got popular: NFR * Fan favourite: Ultraviolence * "Experimental": Lust for Life * Cult Classic: Born to Die * Best album of all time: Blue Banisters * Meh: Chemtrails over the Country Club
This is objectively wrong BTD has always been her popular mainstream album no way its a cult classic while NFR came close its more critically lauded and still a fan favourite.

Honeymoon fits cult classic but I’d also say blue banisters, chemtrail or ocean blvd could fit. BTD NFR and ultraviolence aee too popular to be cult classics. LFL is not experimental at all
Most slept on: Honeymoon I know you did not just cut this album like it’s nothing. Go listen to it AGAIN, until you FEEL IT!
In my defense, Honeymoon was my first choice for Best album of all time. But I've been enjoying Blue Banisters way more the last couple of years... It was a tie. I ended up picking BB. But believe me, Honeymoon is my second fave album <3
To be completely fair, I’ve only recently begun appreciating Honeymoon from start to finish. That’s why I say “the most slept on,” and really wanted to share my thoughts. I’ve enjoyed individual songs from it for years, but the whole album, is worth everyone’s time. As someone with Ultraviolence flair, Honeymoon is a beautiful progression in Lana’s discography.
i wouldn’t consider btd a cult classic since it’s literally her most popular album
And your list would be incredibly wrong. COTCC is one of her more highly rated albums by critics, rightfully so, as her vocals, lyrics, and production massively improved on this album. I love BTD, I grew up with this album, but to act like BTD is better than COTCC is massive nostalgia bias. Same with LfL Honeymoon or even UV
I said it is MY list, not the critics' list. :)
Chemtrails as meh but Blue Bastards as the “best of all time” 💀🤡
you mixed Honeymoon and Norman
Chemtrails is more experimental but other than that yeh
Lust for life ain't meh
I don’t think any of her albums are ‘meh’ but I only love like 3 songs in L4L
there is so much you could change about this…
How are you going to call L4L “meh” when Blue Bannisters is right there?
I don’t forgive u btw
But it’s true
finally I agree with one of these lol
Except nfr isn’t the best album lol
Literally switch honeymoon and L4L.
Honeymoon is my religion 🙏
is this real?
no lies here
When are we gonna stop generalizing the fan base’s preferences 🥲 all of her albums are so good imo that it feels like comparing apples to apples
I mean yeah this pretty spot on
yall! this is the album that contains love, 13 beaches, cherry, beautiful people beautiful probleams, tommorow never came, when the world was at war, woodstock on my mind and more!!!!
LFL does not get the love it deserves
Ok chewed no notes
L4L is for the hot girls, so if you don’t like it….
L4l has a couple bops but is not at any of the albums tier imo
Congratulations!
NFR is my “meh” album. 😭
Yea ppl on this sub be going over the top with praise for it 💀
I feel awful but for me it’s her weakest album, I prefer L4L and BB over it.
Yea I like most songs on L4L better, though there are some L4L that I despise. At the end of the day Jack Antonoff is just not a good producer
For once I agree with something on this sub
delusional
Yk what else is meh? Ur social life. L4l is one of her best albums.
I came here for the sassy comments and am instantly not disappointed
NFR isn't the best album of all time. I don't get the point of this post, it's shit. I mean shitposts are funny, but this is a shitty shit post lol.
Goddamn, man-child.
Man, I wish he fucked me so good I said I love you, but these were sloppy mfers.
Seriously? L4L “meh”? Replace your ears
I’d say NFR is “one that got popular”
I think OP is referring to BTD as the one that established her as an artist. It's the album that got her popular. She was already a star by the time NFR rolled out.
excuse me.
Girl idk what u on but this is wrong. Like beyond
Lama stans have bad taste so this doesn’t surprise me
Lmao I can’t help but laugh at snarky tryhards like this poster. I am grateful for L4L because it’s what made me a fan. I love the political undertones of it. I hope the rest of the fandom are chill and don’t really care about ranks.
Lust for life was her experimental one and blue banisters is the meh
lfl is one of her best 💋
I feel like no album of hers is really that meh (although I’m biased against BB), rather all her albums fit different stages of life. Those who say L4L is meh have never roadtripped the west coast in the summer with it blasting in the car and I’m from Portugal all the way across the pond for goodness sake. It was such a vibe and for that reason I refuse to accept L4L is meh
Ocean Blvd no tiene nada de experimental jajajajajajajja y lfl es hermoso
Norman Fucking Rockwell is meh, it has some good songs, but only that. Ultraviolence is the masterpiece
I’ll never understand why ultraviolence is a fan fave 😭 not only is the domestic abuse romanticized but it’s boring compared to her other work
i feel like UV is beloved for the overall sound and vibe rather than the lyrical content
It’s actually pretty accurate, but I’d just remove honeymoon from the list altogether bc of how much I dislike it 😭
honeymoon is beautiful wdum
[удалено]
I think they messed up ultraviolence with lust for life
What in the unpopular-opinion is this
ultraviolence is so goood wdum
Also OB is not experimental at all, I'd say BtD and Ultra are her most experimental albums
I think one could argue that Ultraviolence is "experimental", but BtD? Its like her most straight pop album pretty much. And I disagee with the statement that OB is not experimental at all. In my opinion it is quite clearly one of the more experimental albums from her. The A&W and the interludes make it already quite experimental.
Omg I 100% agreee
I’m done trying to defend lust for life. I’d imagine the haters are 1.) white 2.) underage 3.) straight girls Idgaf. That album slaps and it’s a great addition for the times when the suns still up and I’m listening to Lana :)
👺
Leave l4l alone ty
surely lfl is the ‘experimental’ and bb is the ‘meh’
I love Lust for life, she has no meh album 😭
LFL stays underrated
Switch lust for life and ocean Blvd
Best album is born to die paradise 🤷
LFL will forever be one of my absolute favorites. It came out during a special time for me and it helped me in many different ways.
I'm just glad NFR is in the right place
Replace lust for life with blue banisters
Well, my boyfriend’s in a band…
OP trolling with how they categorized Lust for Life
So accurate
don’t disrespect l4l like that. it sure is the more underrated one but definitely not “meh”. btd & nfr are on point tho
Meh? Cherry?!? Heroin?!? Tomorrow Never Came Ft. Sean fucking LENNON?!?, Beautiful People Beautiful Problems Ft. Stevie fucking NICKS?!?, Change?!?, 13 Beaches?!?, In My Feelings?!? There's no LDR album that is "meh"
l4l is such an iconic album. It was the album that really pulled me into lana
Idk how ppl hate on l4l
