poll What is Lana Del Rey's best opening track?

[Diesel is Desire]

 

Born to Die

Cruel World

Honeymoon

Love

Norman F**king Rockwell

White Dress

Text Book

The Grants

[ScorpiosGroove]

Best : it’s between Born To Die, Honeymoon & Cruel World

 

Worst : between The Grants, Text Book & Love 

[Illuminati]

The excellence

[Lana Banana]

Best are Born to Die and Cruel World, but I had to vote for Born to Die because once you hear those first seconds of the song, it really sets out a mood for the rest of the album. As much as I love Cruel World, I gotta be honest I've never really went back to it because it's too long and loud, Ultraviolence the song would have been such a better #1 track. NFR is also ******* great - song and the album haha.

 

Worst has to be Text Book, as much as I love the chorus, it's just such a weird opening track for Lana standards. If it were a stand alone single, sure, but if you asked me which album is it from I'd be confused. Not complaining really, cuz mom was feeding us during COVID.

 

Don't really have an opinion on The Grants, it has to stand the test of time for me first.

I can’t choose. Seeing them all laid out in front of me, Lana really knows how to nail an intro track

[Prodigal Self]

 

[TaggedGalaxy]

Best was between Norman ******* Rockwell and White Dress. NFR slightly edges out though 

 

Lana has no bad opening tracks but Text Book is probably the worst

[Melancholy]

Best is definitely White Dress or Honeymoon

 

Worst is Cruel World cannot listen to it nowadays 

[Melancholy]

 

 

White Dress > Honeymoon > Born To Die > The Grants > NFR > Love > (Ride >) Text Book > Cruel World 

[A Million Lights]

Anyone who doesn't say Honeymoon is the best is just... tasteless...

[Velvet Night]

Best: Norman ******* Rockwell

 

Worst: Text Book

[AaronBryceSufjan]

Text Book is literally one of her best songs what are y'all thinking???

[West Coast]

Best: honeymoon 

worst: the grants 

 

[MidnightsAtPeace]

The cinematic intro of Honeymoon alone makes it her best opening track.

The Grants is also a great opening, possibly my second favorite opening in Lana's discography.

Her worst opening is obviously Text Book

[Lachlan]

The Grants, NFR or Cruel World for the best. There's not really a weak track here but I guess I'll go with Text Book.

[SylMacPer]

Best: BTD > Cruel World > NFR

 

Worst: Honeymoon maybe, but it still slays

[Ariel]

best - cruel world

worst - the grants

[cyberpunkgoth]

worst is love 

but still a very good song

oh godlana

[Blue Jeans]

NFR and The Grants make me melt 🫠

[CBC]

Best for me is between Honeymoon and NFR but I have to give it to Honeymoon. It really sets the tone of the entire album and is the perfect introduction for the journey that the listener is embarking on. Simply exquisite 

[Gladiator]

Best is Cruel World. Worst is The Grants, but only because that intro of it. 

[Johnny Jacobs]

[Riverbank]

It's Cruel World but I gave Honeymoon a pity vote

[KatyPrismSpirit]

best: The Grants, Cruel World or NFR!

worst: Honeymoon
