Norman F**cking Rockwell!

Absolutely incredible. Purchased it on cassette in 2020, crazy yes but played back on my WM-D6C the quality of the master is crystal clear, beautiful recording. Beautifully sung and songs that seem to take you along until all of a sudden you're at the end and the cassette player goes "cuh-chunk!" to signal the end of the tape bringing you out of your daze. LDR has a voice that can make your entire world disappear into nothing but the turning reels of tape in front of your eyes and the audio coming through the headphones. Would recommend purchasing.

I’m loving it

Born To Die is obviously fantastic, but subsequent albums I felt ploughed a similar furrow and were becoming a bit samey and dangerously close to background music. With this album I feel that Del Rey has rediscovered her mojo and, crucially, some fantastic and in some places very moving melodies. The use of strings is a bit more spartan which gives her voice more room to breathe. And yes, it is a bit sweary but there is a lot to be sweary about these days...

Bought the black vinyl edition. Oh good grief, when will record companies learn? Cardboard inner sleeves damage vinyl people! Plus my copy arrived sealed but already covered in surface marks and sounded horrible - almost unlistenable surface noise in places. Plus the download didn't work in Chrome, finally got it using Safari but then only offered a WAV file and no album artwork attached. Pretty rubbish. Will be returning but no doubt receive the same again!

Reviews of this album abound as it is often found at or near the top of the 2019 most wanted list. Not really being a DLR fan I listened by streaming first: it took me by surprise. I liked it so much I decided to invest in a vinyl copy. This is DLR on the up. So do you want a vinyl copy? Both pressings of my 2 LP copy are very clean and flat as they should be. I don’t think the sound is special compared to my other 2018 or 2019 vinyl tho it does allow things to focus on the vocals and is easy on the ear. My pet peeve (minus one star) is the vinyl packaging. The double album gatefold has no lyrics on the inside nor on the inner sleeves (noted also by a German reviewer headlining "Super Platte aber ohne Songtexte!" or "Super record but without lyrics!"). All you get is a bunch of credits for each track. Duh. Two square feet of gatefold space wasted. You'll need to replace the inner sleeves. They are made of card that is fibrous on the inside. They are a stupidly tight for the LPs so you have to almost shake the disks out as you can’t get your hand in sufficiently to guide the disks out Echoing another reviewer, why do record producers keep doing this? The inner sleeve art is poor (maybe it means something - I don’t care) and the lyrics aren’t here either. I think the album designers took a holiday. On the upside the included “Sound of Vinyl” download voucher is for a zip of lossless WAV files (639MB download). Brilliant – CD quality files that are easily integrated into a media library for home streaming or transcoded as needed. If that’s too much then Amazon’s complementary mp3 download may be all you need when away from your vinyl or online streams.

Being a massive Lana Del Rey fan, I was pretty certain that I would like this album no matter what and I was right! Her songs are so chilled/relaxing to listen to and her lyrics have actual thought and meaning put into them unlike so many artists now! I’m saying that and I’m only 29 years old! Beautiful music!

I think this the best album my Lana Del Rey. Good quality vinyl and presented well. My favourites are “bartender”, “venice b*tch” and “mariners apartment complex”. Highly recommended

Great voice, songs and melodies. I loved this after listening once via Apple Music and bought it immediately on Vinyl. It’s dark (my wife doesn’t get it) but I just love listening to it and would say it’s her best work. I have other albums of hers which I’ve found are good in parts but this is brilliant all the way through.

Bellissimo vinile in edizione limitata Amazon 2LP blu. Arrivato in condizioni perfette, imballato con cura e consegnato con grande attenzione. Non ho ancora provato il vinile, quindi non posso dire nulla riguardo al problema di incisione del lato A che alcuni utenti hanno segnalato. Per quanto mi riguarda, sono molto soddisfatto del prodotto in sé e del servizio di consegna offerto da Amazon. Consigliatissimo! Ps: da notare che nell’edizione speciale Amazon non è presente l’etichetta “Parental Advisory” sulla copertina e, sul retro, la track listing è scritta completa, senza asterischi nelle parole che in altre versioni sono state purtroppo censurate. Si tratta ovviamente di piccolezze, che per me sono però molto importanti, in quanto la versione risulta a parer mio molto più fedele, intatta e si presenta meglio della standard.

The case is a bit delicate and could crack easily, so store it properly. Otherwise the sound quality from the tape is about average for what's done today. More of a collector's item.

arrived well packaged, looks cool, sounds great. It's fun to see artists releasing new music on tapes again.

Perfetto, nell'imballo, nella consegna, nel disco ... l'ascolto un piacere Ci voleva

Ormai Lana ci regala dei momenti di classe unici. Un disco bellissimo sicuramente non orecchiabile e fuori dagli schemi ma completamente emozionante. Le canzoni tutte belle. Forse ci vuole di più per capirlo ma poi ti rimane dentro
