"Detached" and "hollow" is exactly what she's going for.

Chiropractic care, supplements, white America's views on immigrants, apples, Apple and marijuana's impact on road deaths come to mind.

Also you're a 12-step guy, so you're a mindless droog.

Did you read the link I posted? It sums up her art/artifice in compelling way, I think. To me (having not heard the album yet, and so having no opinion on the writer's take there) the critic absolutely nails what Lana is all about and why she's completely brilliant.
But if the her thing doesn't work for you, it doesn't work for you. Obviously, it works on me like a fucking charm.

Gotcha. I think that makes sense. Obviously, I don't agree but I get what you're saying, I think. And I appreciate you taking the time to read the review. To me (Antonoff aside) it really captures the essence of the Del Rey mystique and persona. You pointed out a couple of great examples. I think even if this record isn't one's taste, reading what the writer says about Del Rey gives tremendous insight and helps elevate her entire body of work.
She has so much depth and artistry and I think it's lost on some people -- especially casual listeners. Do you like any of her other stuff, trag? Setting his new record aside, do you enjoy her earlier stuff at all?

For the record, I'm listening to the album front to back right now. It's my first time through and I'm completely in love with it. I think this will settle as either #1 or #2 on my LDR list. But it's too early to say for sure. First impression is that this is a masterpiece (for me) and a record I'm SO looking forward to returning to again and again.

I tried with all my might to hate her first album, but I just couldn't -- it was really good. I didn't hear anything since then that I can think of though.
Cool. I'm glad you dig at least some of her other stuff. I think she's just such a breath of fresh air in Pop music.
