Re: Lana Del Rey
Video Games had an interesting sound (with insipid lyrics) but bands like Tarnation, Shivaree, Mazzy Star, etc. did it better and Del Rey has the stage presence of a potato.

I bought it for a buck. I think many of the lyrics are not exceptionally deep or meaningful to say the least, but I like her voice.
Not liking the 'rerelease with two additional songs' that is happening more and more.
I haven't seen her on stage but I've definitely been to a few shows where the band I liked, had nonexistent stage presence, or a band I didn't originally like, was awesome.

Re: Lana Del Rey
Anyone hear her new song or you can all it a remix actually?

I was introduced to this song through the Within Temptation cover. When I went back and listened to the original, I found it unlistenable. Sharon absolutely owns this song, even with the extra melisma and vibratto that she does not typically employ.
And live, no Auto Tune required.

Re: Lana Del Rey
I like Lana Del Rey a lot, her sound reminds me of what I liked about Tori Amos pre-2000. I tried to watch some of LDR live at Lollapalooza, but her stage had terrible visibility and the audio was drowned out by NIN playing nearby. I finally worked my way towards the front of the crowd for the final song, but the song ended up just being a jam out by her band with her having left the stage early.

Still like LDR though. Just different.

Re: Lana Del Rey
Well I purchased the album for $.69 but they charged my card $7.99! When I follow your link it still shows .69. I emailed amazon about it. I absolutely hate the way they handle digital orders though.
Edit: Shit. Now it shows $7.99. Seems like I'm gonna be out $6 here.

New album "Honeymoon" out today. Sounds like more of the same to me.

Re: Lana Del Rey
I think the biggest issue that sparked the change was that albums were getting released on all different dates in different countries which led to them being leaked and pirated before they'd get release somewhere else, i.e. UK releasing on Monday, US getting it on Tuesday. Now everyone gets it on Friday.

I think it's a red 180 gram double LP and not a BN exclusive. It seems to be $40 everywhere though. My daughter really wants it.
