desertcart.com: Born To Die - Exclusive Limited 2020 Edition Red Colored Vinyl LP: CDs & Vinyl

Review: Problem FIXED...the boxset is pricey but sooo worth it!! - Let me start by saying that Lizzy Grant/Lana Del Rey (from Lake Placid, NY) is, hands down, THE most alluring breakout artist of 2012...I would say "new" but under her born name, she released an album on the tiny 5 Points label (produced by the notable David Kahne (The Bangles and others) which had limited reach and was quickly pulled when she changed her name and signed her deal with Interscope/Polydor/Universal. The fact that the original "Born To Die" had more Euro/UK appeal and she attracted as many people as she repelled in the US...made me wonder why this was completely ignored on critics' year-end 2012 lists...people are talking Frank Ocean, Frank Ocean, when LDR SHOULD be the focus as breakout artist of 2012...no Grammy noms either, weird...because she has an utterly beguiling, addictive, unique sound that could be seen as a musical narcotic...fresh and retro, cinematic, even a bit dangerous...VERY Lynchian and Tarantino-esque in that she captures what they do cinematically into her music...and she IS a great vivid songwriter, no doubt. Her own vidclips, many of which she shot & edited herself, like "Videogames", which captured the world blogosphere's interest in summer 2011, and got LDR her deal...accurately reflect her own music. Sure, her chanteuse-ian approach has been done before, just not in a while...the most recent artist to have a similar style is NYC's own Nicole Atkins, and LDR is similar in her lower vocal register, but Nicole is more indie/singer-songwriter, even a drop Jenny Lewis, but LDR mixes her style (calling her cold and unemotional is wrong and inaccurate) with triphop beats and atmospheres instead...and most Americans are not as familiar with these styles as much as Brits and Europeans are, which explains why she appeals more over there than here. She's even appeared on Brit & Girls Aloud member Cheryl Cole's 3rd solo album, 2012's "A Million Lights", on "Ghetto Baby", a fleshed out version of one of her own old demos, on backing vocals. The music itself on "Born To Die" is amazing and fully formed...vivid and memorable, impressionable and highly detailed, great headphone music and remix friendly, utterly beguiling...as good as any classic debut album in recent memory, to be totally honest...history will be kind to this record...from the opening title track where she's a ghost thinking she's alive and reflecting on her life...you hear her ask "Hi, what, me??" after you hear some guy faintly yelling "Lana!! Lana!!!" What an opener. Then the interesting tracks continue their dark twisted cinematic path, retro yet modern..."Off To The Races" (with its hiphop cadence and her Lolita vocal turn), the lovely "Blue Jeans", the attention-grabbing "Video Games", twisted, catchy & dance-friendly "Diet Mountain Dew", the GORGEOUS "National Anthem" (which reminds me weirdly of "Graduation" by Vitamin C...remember her??), the just as pretty "Dark Paradise", which should have been a single, a contender for fave track here, "Radio" (which has a lyric that has you repeating the track to figure out what she's singing...what on the radio??), "Carmen" (the song that had to grow on me the most...liked it the least at first), "Million Dollar Man" (a tale of a prostitute perhaps??), the also-gorgeous "Summertime Sadness", the beguiling & smart "This Is What Makes Us Girls"...then the 3 great bonus tracks..."Without You" (killer), "Lolita" (her theme-song??), and amazing "Lucky Ones" (produced by Rick Nowels...who worked with Stevie Nicks and Gregg Alexander, pre-New Radicals)... Then came the subsequent add-on EP "Paradise", whose songs are just as great as "Born To Die" but also serve as a roadmap for her next project, which I look forward to with ample anticipation...starting with the amazing epic, desert-dusted roadtrip of a track "Ride", produced by Rick Rubin...he must have been beguiled with our heroine and understood her direction 100%...it's a killer tune, kind of like a ballad but it has this momentum that builds and the melody on the chorus is neck-hair-tingling...then "American" which shows her love of Bruce, among other things and the song itself is solidly great...then, um, "Cola", a great UN-PC, gleefully un-kid-friendly, song...just as lyrically frank and sexually upfront, that it's as refreshing as the drink in the title...then "Body Electric", which is the most Lynchian/Tarantino-esque song here...just the opening lines alone made me think "Wild At Heart"..."Elvis is my daddy/Marilyn's my mother/And Jesus is my greatest friend"...seedy, dusty and trailerparky in the grandest way possible...then "Blue Velvet", a perfect cover if there ever was one...the song fits her cinematic style, the production is retro-modern, and the fact that one of David Lynch's key movies is "Blue Velvet" is not lost on LDR one bit...then, um, "Gods And Monsters"..."Cola" was just a taste for this track, just saying, this one goes all out that it's frankly startling...in a good way of course, haha...then "Yayo" and "Bel Air"...2 lesser cuts that are good but have to grow on me more...then Target released an exclusive version of this EP with 2 bonus remixes of "Blue Velvet", which are nice to have...one of them, the 5+ minute "Penguin Prison Remix" is on the picture disc 7" vinyl single that is included with the import boxset version of this masterpiece of a record. Ah yes, the BOXSET...this thing is BEAUTIFUL...it has 4 discs, 4 frameable photos and that 7" picturedisc vinyl single, all packaged in a lovely compact square box (the size of a 7" vinyl) with her name and title embossed in gold letters on top of the pic shown. The BTD album (15 tracks) and "Paradise" EP are packaged together nicely in, not a jewelcase, but a slightly-larger-than-a-CD, mini-LP, gatefold, jacket/CD wallet with a lovely cool drawing in the middle, a booklet in one of the sleeves with all lyrics from both discs together, and the discs protected in pic-enhanced inner CD sleeves...BTD in black and coloured feathers and Paradise in a shot of clouds. Then, under the album, an 8-track, 39-minute, remix CD (4 BTD tracks..."Video Games", "Born To Die", "Blue Jeans" & "National Anthem", 2 remixes each...not typical mixes either, more deep-house or trip-hop-styled)...blue/grey mini-LP jacket with white inner CD sleeve, and lastly, on the bottom, a DVD (region 0) also in a blue-grey mini-LP jacket with white inner DVD sleeve, half-hour-long, of her 6 amazing cinematic videos from the album...the famous/infamous "Video Games" (that got her noticed and her Interscope/Polydor/Universal deal), the controversial "Born To Die" (besides the carcrash & fire and embrace with Mr Tattoo, the scene with her in the church/museum/I don't know, sitting on a throne, with 2 lovely but dangerous tigers lounging beside her, one on each side, is 100% worth thr price of admission, woah), "Blue Jeans" (both versions...the B&W poolside one with the same tattooed guy from the "BTD" clip and the LDR-directed one), "National Anthem", 7-minutes and my fave one, where it takes place in the 60s, she portrays a Jackie-O-type of president's wife, and this is like Kennedy-meets-Obama, where the president is black, they have bi-racial kids, and pres gets killed in a drive-by a-la Kennedy...VERY controversial and darkly cinematic...amazing...icing on the cake, her singing "Happy Birthday Mr President" at the clip's beginning...a black & white photostill from that scene is one of the photos included in the box with a part over her eyes saying "Tell Me I'm Your National Anthem"...cool, amazing and wild...then "Summertime Sadness", which shows a dark obsession with a friend and suicide...this girl is dark to say the least...even dangerous...but utterly beguiling, artful and memorable. Album of the year 2012?? Maybe. Debut and breakout of 2012?? Most definitely!! This box was so worth the $58 bucks I paid.
Review: Desolation Angel......."Lana Del Rey" - Born into This......Born Yesterday......Born in the USA....... Born to Run.....Born to be Wild...... Born to Lose...... and then......Born to Die. All of these titles to uniquely American songs and poetry with their psychological blues and themes are what "Lana Del Rey" is offering to the Gods. This is one the most beautiful records produced by an (new) American artist in a long while. Her torch song delivery mixed with all of the 'big" modern sounds of today, goes right for the heart....and the throat. Make no mistake about it, this young woman is an artist and if she never makes another album she has delivered to the listening public an album of truth and beauty and depth, through the medium of "pop" music. This has got a great sound with melodies and lyrics that stay in your mind. A deep well of young/female desolation and sadness tinged with toughness and desire is present in her music. Her voice and style resonate with American mythical culture and a nostalgic longing.... Gorgeous! Her videos are very good and the new one, "Ride" (the long story version) is even better than anything else from this album. This video is one of the best ever made about the dark heart of the "American Dream". Musically, visually and psychologically stunning.....David Lynch should be proud to have influenced this artist. Deep meaning.....deep as the search for life and love....and deep as death.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great voice, melodies that stick in your head
*by M***L on April 6, 2024*

I’m not a person who normally listens to “pop music”, I’m a “classic rock” fan: Led Zeppelin, Def Leppard, Rush, Yes. But occasionally I try to expand my library with jazz, lady singers, classical, etc. I first heard “Video Games” on an episode of a streaming show and liked it, a lot. This 2 CD has one great song after another and I’ve had trouble not listening to it all the time. Catchy tunes yes, but the real treasure is her sultry voice. I’ve put classic rock away for a while and am totally enjoying this. Excellent production and musicianship.
