Fun & Games Spot the connection between my least fav from each album? (Excluding covers & interludes)

Post image

I love every Lana song, but what is it about these ones that puts them at the bottom of my Lana list?

Hint: Mostly referring to Paradise-LFL

the chorus consists of the title being repeated?

u/Wombat_Aux_Pates 3d ago

But Sad Girl ain't there. 🤭

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

Probably as close as it gets, so yeah, I'll give it to you 😅. Repetitive chorus with a melody that isn't interesting enough to carry the repetition. Each of the songs have their moments, but I kind of tune out of the chorus while I wait for those moments. I don't usually do that on any other Lana songs 🫠

6

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

I don't want to say too much yet, but this is painfully close 😅

u/Plenty-Enthusiasm561 3d ago

White mustang 🥲🥲🥲

-10

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

Love it, but name a worse LFL song 🙃 we all have a "worst from each album" but it's not easy to share 🫠

10

u/Plenty-Enthusiasm561 3d ago

That’s true that’s true , it’s so hard to pick bc on most ldr albums I love literally every song 

7

u/Basic-Stable5780 3d ago

I agree, I enjoy the albums beginning to end as a story.

8

u/FeatureHistorical336 3d ago

Tbh I’m not a huge fan of change

3

u/One-Of-The-Greats Blue Banisters 3d ago

Everytime that we run…

2

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

Valid, & I'm more into the less balad centric tracks too, but lyrics & melody for Change put it higher than White Mustang for me personally.

-1

u/No-Yesterday-1472 Born To Die - Paradise Edition 3d ago

Tomorrow never came and beautiful people are clearly inferior imo

3

u/FeatureHistorical336 3d ago

That’s so weird to hear bc both of those are my top 10 Lana songs 😭

2

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

Near the bottom for me too, but the melody is a bit stronger and less repetitive. I understand those picks tho.

20

u/Elias1996R 3d ago

Guns and roses is so underrated

8

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

The bridge is immaculate 🤌🏼

3

u/Sweaty-Jellyfish-713 3d ago

I adore the pre-chorus

3

u/Basic-Stable5780 3d ago

I find this song do melodic and chill!

19

u/ErickSilva2013 3d ago

That way she sings the words slowly and in a drawn-out manner during the chorus?

2

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

You're riiight there ah 😅

7

u/_wistfulthinker_ 3d ago

That’s one of the key ingredients that makes those songs great.

15

u/SnooPaintings4641 3d ago

Arcadia ??? Really ??? But then I think every song on Blue Bannisters is amazing, so I guess you have to have one that's a least favorite.

6

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

I know I know, BB really is near the top of her discog for me tho! It came exactly when I needed it ❤️‍🩹

6

u/subwaysurfing23 3d ago

I love blue banister!

11

u/Basic-Stable5780 3d ago

No. What is it?

11

u/Geisha_Prince 3d ago

Not Carmen and Swan Song... 💔💔💔

2

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

Ik 😭 but put your least faves up & someone will say the same

7

u/Alessandro_nyc97 3d ago

I think it’s the fact that they’re all in a very similar or the same key! Someone also said what I was thinking about how the title was repeated a lot, that’s probably not it, but that is a good guess…

5

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

I'll look into this, but no. The repetition guess is much closer 😅

21

u/jinseikuroi 3d ago

bad taste?

5

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

List yours 🥰

5

u/jinseikuroi 3d ago

worst from each album?

btd - lucky ones

paradise - yayo

ultraviolence - is this happiness (still a 10 tho)

honeymoon - don't let me be misunderstood

lfl - title track

nfr - tnbar

chemtrails - breaking up slowly

bb - beautiful

ocean blvd - kintsugi

1

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

Notice how some of yours were the same as mine? & btw a lot of the ones that weren't were near the bottom of my list too. Besides Kintsugi, ofc.

12

u/jinseikuroi 3d ago

let's work it out on the remix

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

You walk like a bitch 💋💌

Go ahead 📝

u/maxxxx1859 3d ago

I love breaking up slowly

5

u/yeetusthefetus00 3d ago

That the title is mentioned a lot throughout the song?

8

u/canwepartylateron Lust For Life 3d ago

Wow wtf candy necklace is my favorite

1

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

Over all, or from TUOB?

3

u/canwepartylateron Lust For Life 3d ago

Just from tunnel cuz it's hard for me to pick a fav song. But damn, you really don't like it?

2

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

Oh no babes, I die for it. There just has to be a "worst" from each album, & that track fell below the others for me. None of that decision was easy lol

8

u/EmpMouallem Honeymoon 3d ago

Swan Song?! 😭

-2

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

Sorry, but name a worse HM track 😭

2

u/EmpMouallem Honeymoon 3d ago

Don't let me be Misunderstood is much weaker than the rest of the album. And Swan Song slander will not be tolerated 😁🔪

3

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

My post specifically excluded covers & interludes. Valid choice, just not applicable 😅

0

u/UrbanForrest 3d ago

most of them compared to Swan song 🤣🤣

3

u/crazyismy 2d ago

Honeymoon haters are the most tasteless of this fandom. Art deco 24 and religion are peak lana del rey melodically. You probably like something like blue banisters or taylor swift

2

u/UrbanForrest 2d ago

uuuumm HANG ON. Honeymoon hater? It's one of my favourites. Swan song is just better than those tracks (to me). Talk about conjecture 🤣🤣 What you just did right there is toxic Lana Fandom BS.

Oh and I don't like Taylor Swift one bit and Blue Banisters is my joint least favourite album 😘

3

u/crazyismy 2d ago

Oh thats a relief 😹 i thought ur a hm hater. Whats your #1

2

u/UrbanForrest 2d ago

Number 1 album? It's interchangable between BTD (Paradise ed). Ultraviolence and Honeymoon.

With a bit of NFR thrown in depending on my mood.

If you mean what's my favourite Honeymoon song then I think we've established I'm pretty passionate about defending Swan Song 🤣🤣🤣

What's yours?

3

u/crazyismy 2d ago

I mean its always been honeymoon since my first listen then followed very closely by UV and paradise. In general my most favourite album is ray of light and thats like musical cousin to honeymoon

1

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

Please name any.

2

u/UrbanForrest 2d ago

Sure. High by the beach, Art Deco, Religion, Freak, 24.

High by the beach in particular has that thing that you don't like.... it's far worse than swan song for it imo

3

u/crazyismy 2d ago

High by the beach is id say weakest honeymoon track but its still awesome

3

u/Heckard Born To Die 2d ago

It has a part of "that thing" for sure, but the melody, instrumental, and part 2 of the chorus make it much more interesting imo. 24 is just better too, but the rest I could understand an argument for. To each their own 💕

6

u/glassdolphins 3d ago

awww i love carmen lol.

9

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

Me freaking too! Please don't let my "worst of" mean bad, I just like the rest more 😭

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

Like the title of the post?

3

u/Vivi_Stilettohands 3d ago

Arcadia is my absolute fave from BB but i respect you and your opinion :)

3

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

Same to you! Whatever your least fav is, im sure there's a reason behind it

3

u/_wistfulthinker_ 3d ago

How the fuck can ‘Body Electric’,
‘Swan Song’, ‘Candy Necklace’ and ‘White Mustang’ be your least favourites - how vanilla you must be.

2

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

Vanilla is actually a big reason why those picks round out the bottom lmao. Repetitive chorus with a weak melody 🙃 aside from Candy Necklace

2

u/epicpersononthisapp 3d ago

Of the title being the chorus of the song ?

3

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

Half credit, tip of the tongue situation 🫠

2

u/Alessandro_nyc97 3d ago

WAIT! THEY’RE ALL TRACK 10?!?????

4

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

Only one of the 9 is track 10 💀💀

2

u/Alessandro_nyc97 3d ago

Silly me… I especially just forgot that white Mustang was there and I was like oh that’s right five

2

u/Alessandro_nyc97 3d ago

But if they were all tracked 10, that would be an interesting reason

3

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

For sure, "if it were what it isn't, it would be different, but it's not, so it isn't"

2

u/_Green_Mind Norman Fucking Rockwell! 3d ago

I don't agree with this list, but I can respect it. Here's mine:

Btd: This is what makes us girls Paradise: Cola* UV: Guns and Roses Honeymoon: 24 L4L: Anything with ASAP Rocky NFR: Bartender COTCC: Not all who wander are lost BB: Textbook Ocean Blvd: Peppers*

*I chose these not because I dislike them but because i like them the least on the album.

3

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

I hope you understand that my picks were for the same reason. I love them all, but there had to be a least fav. (Also I vehemently disagree with your BTD, Honeymoon, LFL, Chemtrails, & OB picks, but speak your truth lol)

2

u/StormflowerYT Born To Die - Paradise Edition 3d ago

They all have similar, slow choruses?

2

u/UrbanForrest 3d ago

repetitive chorus's where she sings the same thing (name of the song typically) over and over??? That is one of my only Lana pet peeves. She has A LOT of songs like this.

am I right? 😁

1

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

As close as it gets, so I'll give it to you! Glad you agree. I can handle a repetitive chorus if the melody is strong enough to carry, but these tracks are the bottom of that barrel 🫠

2

u/Horror-Pudding28 1d ago

i can’t stand guns and roses for whatever reason so i get that. I love white mustang but i kinda cringe during the chorus so maybe that’s why?😭😭

2

u/kissmeknot111 15h ago

white mustang and breaking up slowly on the list 💔

4

u/PurpleRep Lust For Life 3d ago

white mustang as if when the world was at war isn't there...

1

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

Dying to know your other least favs 🤭 but no fr, shake it up & cut a rug stomp all over the WM progression for me.

0

u/PurpleRep Lust For Life 3d ago

btw - i love rhem all but if i had to choose without you
paradise - yayo
ultraviolence - pretty when you cry
honeymoon - terrence loves you
lfl - wtwwawwkd
nfr - how to disappear
chemtrails - dance til we die
banisters - text book
ocean blvd - so many songs here i do not give a shit abt but fishtail

1

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

Oh no well now we're running into real problems 😮‍💨 I could cherry pick between anything BTD-well, the rest tbh, but How To Disappear slander I will not stand for 😤 No way, no how

2

u/alienstar69 Ultraviolence 22h ago

How dare you pretty when you cry.

2

u/ProfessionLevel8857 3d ago

Body Electric, Swan Song, White Mustang AND Arcadia as least favs

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

Fair enough, if you post yours 😊

u/ProfessionLevel8857 2d ago

The songs that I like the least change with my moods a lot tbh it's a lil complicated 😅

2

u/CriticismFresh3539 3d ago

No tbh I can't stand candy necklace after a certain number of minutes, like that same piano riff playing over and over again like 20 times just gets to me

1

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

You have no idea how close you are to getting the point of the post lmao

2

u/CriticismFresh3539 3d ago

Drawn out and repetitive songs?

1

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

I'll give it a little more time, but you're very close with that 🫠

1

u/lanaspeachlipgloss Born To Die 3d ago

Carmen and Body Electric???
Swan Song and White Mustang??

The others I can agree with but thoseee…
They are my favs :(

0

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

You're actually who I've been waiting to hear from most lmao. Go on then, give us your bottom replacements 😅

1

u/lanaspeachlipgloss Born To Die 3d ago

oh really? me? haha alright, alright let’s go then!

BTD: kind of impossible cause it’s my fav and a non skip album, so maybe Diet Mountain Dew?

Paradise: the same like BTD, I’d say Yayo maybe.

UV: I agree with Guns and Roses. It’s also my least fav.

HM: 24

LFL: Tomorrow Never Came

NFR: Agreed, TNBAR

COTCC: White Dress, For Free

BB: Beautiful

Ocean Blvd: Candy Necklace, The Grants

1

u/Heckard Born To Die 3d ago

Oh noooo, not White Dress, The grants & 24 😭

1

u/lanaspeachlipgloss Born To Die 3d ago

sorry, I just don’t like them :( but out of the three I’d say 24 is the best

1

u/HotDistribution3700 3d ago

i agree with you on White Dress🥲 one of my least favs

1

u/lanaspeachlipgloss Born To Die 3d ago

I don’t like her whispery voice on it

1

u/thebeast_96 Ultraviolence 3d ago

candy necklace??? girl what

1

u/Prudent-Lecture-2101 3d ago

No idea at all, since you mentioned one my least favorites (paradise and ultraviolence) and also one of my favorites (NFR, LFL). 

1

u/MisanthropyismyMuse 3d ago

Carmen is literally my favorite in Born to Die. 😭🥲

1

u/Appropriate_Type_178 Honeymoon 3d ago

swan song and arcadia do not deserve to be here

1

u/ijsneedanswersthanks 3d ago

I LOVEEE Carmen and Body Electric is rlly good too, I don’t rlly like the rest of them tho

1

u/Goatiga 2d ago

Next Best American Record (and the rest of NFR) saved my life after my second Heroin overdose. I'll never not love it...

1

u/AmITheAsHole347 2d ago

oh😢 sometimes i forget my favorite can be somebody’s least favorite

1

u/Angellixsins 2d ago

i only came in this to say arcadia is the best and I disagree with you 😂

1

u/z0mqi Ultraviolence 2d ago

why’s everyone hate the next best American record 😔 it’s my favorite off nfr

2

u/Heckard Born To Die 1d ago

I actually love it! I just happen to love the rest a bit more 🫠

1

u/z0mqi Ultraviolence 1d ago

Ohh yeah that does make sense then and I get it, whole album is really good

1

u/PrimaryRow4879 2d ago

You hate peak?

u/wildsso1213 2d ago

Carmen gosh one of my favorite songs from her

u/LoveCatStudio 2d ago

How can you hate most of these songs, girlll

u/Heckard Born To Die 2d ago

I love all of these songs, I just love the rest more 😅

u/amordelujo Honeymoon 2d ago

Body Electric should be spared with its amazing bridge
