I'm pretty underwhelmed by the video and West Coast itself still hasn't moved from 'like' to 'love' for me but I'm excited for the album - I don't doubt it will be wonderful.

Am not a massive fan of her, but "Shades of Cool" is utterly gorgeous.

way too samey, underwhelming and disappointing compared to Born To Die

I haven't really listened to it all properly yet, but I was fearing that from the clips. I think there are too many tracks and a bit samey alright. I'll need to judge it over the coming week though.

Lana: 'I wish I was dead already'

"I wish I was dead already," Lana Del Rey says, catching me off guard. She has been talking about the heroes she and her boyfriend share – Amy Winehouse and Kurt Cobain among them – when I point out that what links them is death and ask if she sees an early death as glamorous. "I don't know. Ummm, yeah." And then the death wish.

Don't say that, I say instinctively.

"But I do."

You don't!

"I do! I don't want to have to keep doing this. But I am."

Do what? Make music?

"Everything. That's just how I feel. If it wasn't that way, then I wouldn't say it. I would be scared if I knew [death] was coming, but …"

[...] it takes me by surprise when Del Rey begins to tell me how unhappy she is: that she doesn't enjoy being a pop star, that she feels constantly targeted by critics, that she doesn't want to be alive at all.

"Family members will come on the road with me and say: 'Wow, your life is just like a movie!'" she says at one point. "And I'm like: 'Yeah, a really ****ed-up movie.'"

[...] I ask how long she got to enjoy the success of Video Games before the backlash arrived and she looks surprised. "I never felt any of the enjoyment," she says. "It was all bad, all of it."

[...]

I think about her live shows, such as the outdoor one she's due to play later that night, during which she'll respond to the constant screams – her fans are too busy taking photos to applaud – by letting her band jam away for 20 minutes while she wanders the photo pit, posing for selfies with fans in the front row. Surely during those moments she must love what she does.

"No," she says.

Been listening to it properly this evening. Yes, it's all a bit "one note", but it's all so beautifully done. The songs separate themselves from one another after a few listens. The melodies are gorgeous and it all sounds wonderfully atmospheric and moody. Seriously high quality once again from Lana.

It's a gloriously realized album. A true experience. I adore it and I went in ready to hate it.

:shock: Why did you want to hate it?

I just adore this woman's music. So, so glad she's around.

I wish her visuals were a bit better this era. I'm tiring of that retro handycam thing now.
