I mean, working with Jack I was in a little bit of a lighter mood ‘cause he’s so funny, so the title track and it are kind of about this guy who like, he is such a genius artist but he thinks he’s the shit and he knows it, and like he won’t shut talking about it.

Side A, B and C sound perfect, no pops or skips (only side C has like 2-3 pops), side B even sounds better than the black one, it also has F it I love you alternative version (this is because I have the 2019 pressing). Trading much of her hardboiled trap-pop and trip-hop malaise for baroque piano ballads and dazzling folk—equal parts Brill Building precision, windswept Laurel Canyon, and 2019 parlances—Lana has begun a dynamic second act in profundity.Also writing positively, Alexandra Pollard of The Independent wrote "The album is sultry and soporific, sitting somewhere between the minimalist trip-hop of Del Rey’s early days, and the scuzzy desert rock she has toyed with over the years," and concluded that "This is Del Rey at her most assertive.

Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone noted the album's " Laurel Canyon '70s soft-rock fantasies", including references to Joni Mitchell and the Eagles. Not really, Honeymoon and Ultraviolence resonate with me personally even more than this masterpiece.

California, The Next Best American Record and The Greatest resonate with me in a unique way, I could just lay down, close my eyes and absolutely get lost in the feelings of those three. I even liked some of her songs, but this album just feels as if the same song is recycled all through one hour.Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph similarly wrote that the album "reveals Del Rey to be something of a one trick pony, but what a beautiful trick it is.
