NOW Posted September 18, 2022 Posted September 18, 2022 (edited) https://music.apple.com/us/album/honeymoon/1440827260 Quote But Honeymoon is by far Del Rey’s most beautifully made and cohesive album. It’s worth our while, though, to look at it as one final wink on an album full of them. That all the while we’ve been debating her authenticity, she’s stood steadfast playing a character and is pleased every time we painstakingly try to figure it out. Who is Lana Del Rey? Someone who is constantly asking us who we are when we need things given to us as neatly as possible. https://www.factmag.com/2015/09/27/lana-del-rey-honeymoon-review/ Quote Del Rey has that uncanny ability to sound both modern and retro at the same time but walks a very singular path. So let’s hope this isn’t adieu but an au revoir, because Honeymoon reaffirms her ability to make important, masterful pop music that doesn’t pay a blind bit of notice to fashion and it's all the better for it. https://www.thelineofbestfit.com/reviews/albums/honeymoon-is-the-dazzling-emancipation-of-lana-del-rey Quote I guess what I’m trying to say is yes, yes, and thank you. Your previous communications have been great to immerse myself in, but this one has really floored me. You’ve found your own style and run with it. It’s amazing to see someone so free and in control. https://drownedinsound.com/releases/19042/reviews/4149440 Quote It reminds us of something that was the very issue with Del Rey that irritated some early on—she knows exactly what she is doing. Honeymoon just synthesizes ideas she's been vamping on from the beginning into a unified work. She figured where she was going long before she got there; with Honeymoon she has finally arrived. https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/21033-honeymoon/ Quote And so after four years in the limelight, here lounges Ms. Del Rey, immune to the gravitational pull of the discourse about her. Once a careful invention, she is now glassy-eyed and glassy-voiced, too cool to care. The result is something like a dog that, when its leash is tugged, simply lies on the ground and shuts its eyes: basking in the sun, feeding off its warmth, never giving an inch. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/18/arts/music/review-lana-del-rey-honeymoon.html Edited September 18, 2022 by NOW

And also I'm just gonna say it, but Music To Watch Boys To might one of the best songs she has ever written and ever recorded, is the ultimate femme fatale anthem

JoeAg Posted September 18, 2022 Posted September 18, 2022 I love this album High by the Beach is her second best lead single after Video Games, easily
Jooj Posted September 18, 2022 Posted September 18, 2022 My favorite photoshoot of hers! I believe only BB and (maybe) NFR! are above this incredible record. Used to be my favorite back then and i loved it the moment MTWBT dropped. Also the transition from Freak to Art Deco
XxHeadstrongxX Posted September 18, 2022 Posted September 18, 2022 A masterpiece. The title track is my favorite song of all time.
