Dear .Org,

Just listened to this record for the first time today.

WOW. Am I jumping the gun or is this brilliant?

Spirit

it is brilliant. to me it was the album of 2012. and she is becoming a better live singer as well

I love this version of Blue Jeans a lot

Agreed. It's too bad that it became so popular to slag her off, a lot of people missed out. I think her record company is smart to kinda let it hang out there, with songs popping up in commercials and movies, until people are like "What??? That's Lana Del Rey?!"

Best songs: Off to the Races, Blue Jeans, National Anthem... good times.

Love it. I listen to Lana a lot..she's my goto girl.

Lana sounds like she overdosed on mood stabilizers, rambled on in her diary for a bit, and recorded it. Not my idea of a good time. Her videos (post Video Games) are hysterical, though. Ten minutes of self indulgent, woozy pandering with these overwrought voiceover intros.

I read an article where they compared her to Twin Peaks' Laura Palmer. I found that interesting

I like it. I like the Paradise EP even more.
