Patrick Bateman: Do you like Lana del Rey? I’ve been a big Lizzy Grant fan ever since the release of her 2012 album, Born to Die. Before that, I really didn’t understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Born to Die where Lana’s presence became more apparent. I think Video Games was the singer’s undisputed masterpiece. It’s an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums.
Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument.Sabrina, remove your dress.In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism.Sabrina, why don’t you, uh, dance a little.Take the lyrics to National Anthem. In this song, Lana addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Off to the Races is the most moving pop song of the decade, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I’ve heard in rock.Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole.Lana’s coro seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like Blue Jeans and Dark Paradise.Sabrina, don’t just stare at it, eat it.But I also think Lana works best within the confines of the studio, than as a stadium artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Summertime Sadness, a great, great song, a personal favorite.
