The songs are atmospheric, orchestral retro-'60s-sounding pop that showcases her torchy image and sensuously husky singing style. The vinyl format heightens the emotive atmosphere of Lana Del Rey's dream-pop and trip-hop soundscapes, immersing the listener in the artist's distinctive sonic world.

She has described herself as a "gangsta Nancy Sinatra" and cites Britney Spears, Thomas Newman and Bruce Springsteen as her musical influences. There is still baked in crackle lasting for about 5 seconds of Video Games, otherwise, my copy is pretty immaculate: clean, flat, and centred, as one would hope. I'd never really paid much attention to Lana Del Rey before the album release, having only heard a remix of Video Games that didn't do the original justice. Her languid vocals harmonize with evocative lyrics, conveying a sense of melancholic yearning and bittersweet nostalgia.There is as much depth in her portraits of superficiality as you would find in a Matt Berninger lyric.

Million Dollar Man is an old time dirge ballad with an undercurrent of sadness, and is extremely classy. Lana Del Rey's direct influences were visual as well as musical; David Lynch, soundtracks for `50s black and white movies, the whirring sound of the Ferris at Coney Island, fame itself.

The vinyl format amplifies the evocative atmosphere of the album, granting the listener a magnified experience of Del Rey's alluring blend of dream-pop, trip-hop, and timeless sentiment. This album mesmerizes with its blend of nostalgic pop, dreamy trip-hop, and captivating cinematic undertones. Possessing this album on vinyl provides an immersion into Lana's world that cannot be matched - the melancholic sweetness and vintage allure are tangible in every note. There seems little point in reviewing an album that has already been reviewed by so many people, but a few thoughts are perhaps worth writing down, given the whirl of misinformation and hype and hating that has gone on. Clearly this important album was recorded / mastered on a budget and this might be the best pressing we get.

Born To Die" is a suitably noir follow up to "Video Games" and is coming with an incredible video conceived by Lana and Directed by Woodkid. Born to Die' is a haunting, enchanting masterpiece, essential for any admirer of Lana Del Rey and those drawn to mesmerizing, moody musical escapades. I would like it if more artists had their music pressed onto 3 sides with the 4th side containing bonus songs. Listen to the sadness in her portraits, rather than having some knee-jerk reaction to the un-PC characters.

Sem dúvidas, a sonoridade de Del Rey fica muito genuína no formato vinil, tornando sua voz expressiva e carinhosamente semelhante as grandes divas motown dos anos 50/60. O álbum é extremamente icônico na cultura sad/indie, com letras que falam sobre amor, poder, drogas, decepções amorosas, vida líquida na contemporaneidade e a efusiva arte de bridar o caos que existe dentro de cada um de nós.

Includes the singles ‘Blue Velvet’ and ‘Ride’, and comes with a limited slipcase to hold the Born To Die album itself. Dark Paradise is one of the most subtly powerful and devastating portraits of living after the death of a lover that you will find. Born to Die' is an album I'll treasure, showcasing the unmatched talent of Lana Del Rey in the most exquisite form. Radio is one of those guilty pleasure songs - a laid back pop song with a chorus that, if played on radio, would require much editing, and yet still manages to remain sounding innocent and beautiful. Del Rey's women are victims, yes, but it's the sincere tragedy of their situations which makes for such memorable music.

Firstly the image: yes, she is striking to look at, but it is anything but an easy look, it's a confrontational look and a mysterious look; she doesn't smile, she looks like she could maybe kill you, given provocation.
