    Intelligent and deeply thoughtful. Brave with no care to follow a trend of radio friendly music.

    Este es probablemente el mejor trabajo discográfico de Lana Del Rey en años, sus sonidos nos recuerdan sus epocas en las qie era bien recibida comercialmente peeo poco aclamada por la crítica de manera injusta. Peppers, Taco Truck X VB, Sweet, Paris, Texas y Let The Light in son canciones que pasaran a la posteridad por su calidad y por todo aquello que nos recuerda.

    Ocean Blvd definitely became one of my favorites from Lana del Rey, she continues to making art and I am in love with every song on this album. Taco Truck x VB is so beautiful, the best creation she has ever made.

    In my honest opinion, this album proves everyone who doubted her wrong! It is constantly getting better with every listening session... There is no surprise that she outdid herself again! It is her most personal and self-critical album to date but it manages to carry tons of emotions that send shivers down my spine. Congratulations Lana! You really did THAT!

    On the first few listens I think this I Lana’s best album yet. It’s so endearing, heartfelt and best of all FUN. Proves she can make another high quality record like NFR!

    This album is .... haunting .
    The hauntingness starts with the grants when the piano starts coming in and then throughout the record the haunting gets mixed with sweetness , joy , laughter , craziness and what is everywhere in the record ... beauty . Features different styles and different sounds and easily some of Lana's most unique vocal performances ever and some of her best written

The features really add setting to the album eventhough they don't have the biggest part in the songs . It's dark at some point while bright at the other point just like the feeling the album cover gives us and the photoshoots .

    Mais uma obra de arte! Ela pede pra não ser esquecida e preciso dizer que agora já é muito tarde para esquecer o rastro intoxicante deixado na indústria musical por Lana Del Rey.

    What a beautiful album! From beggining to end this masterpiece just proves how talented Lana Del Rey is as a lyricist and a singer. The way she can make everything sound so different yet so cohesive never fails to surprise me. Well done Lana you just did it again! Another masterpiece

    An amazing collection of songs that have such emotional honesty behind them. Her vocals are sweeter than ever and she only gets better with each album. “Fishtail”, “Let The Light In”, and “Candy Necklace” ft. Jon Batiste are among my favorites on first listen.

    Lana Del Rey once again has blown me away. Ocean Blvd is an album designed for her fans, with touches of sounds you'd find on her older works, accompanied by brand new sounds that haven't been heard ever before. This album combines the poetic lyricism from Blue Banisters, the mellowness of Chemtrails Over The Country Club, the coolness of NFR, the fun of Lust For Life, the mystique ofLana Del Rey once again has blown me away.

    Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd is a 16-track, 78-minute album, and some of it will lose even her most ardent fans. Track eight is where it regains itself through the extended metaphor of “Kintsugi”: a Japanese term for a pottery repair technique that calls attention to the crack rather than hides it. .... [After “Margaret”] There are three more tracks, though.

    If you've not already bought into the LDR mythos, it's like joining a long-form TV show midway through its difficult fourth season. [Jun 2023, p.26]

    So while Del Rey is still the same sepia-tinted, sun-soaked American aesthete that she once was, there are real lifetime stamps all over Did you know that conjure a biographical sincerity, instigating a personal closeness.
