'Brooklyn Baby' / 'Ride' / 'National Anthem' top 3 please.

 

These probably my top 3 as well. :o

 

I'll get rid of 3 more tomorrow evening, taking us to that all important top 10.

Right songs gone out so far! Hope Ultraviolence isn't top 10 as that's a bit of a non-event too. Saw Born To Die getting a lot of screwball low scores so I bet that's gonna be low top 10 at best :(

Sad to see Once Upon a Dream finish so low but it's not something you play on repeat.

 

Hoping for a win for Ride!

I'm rooting for West Coast to win but honestly would be just as happy if it was Ride or National Anthem, I'd love to see High By The Beach do well too! :heart:

I really liked her version of Once Upon a Dream, her voice suited that really well and having heard the original, I actually prefer hers. Was probably the best thing about last era after West Coast!

 

Born to Die/National Anthem to win, Video Games ideally but I saw some silly low scores for that -_-

National Anthem is ok but should not win. Born to Die moved me so much when I heard it first.
I gaave Shades of Cool a 10 too! Hope my votes were counted because it does not deserve to be that low, it's perhaps her most 'gorgeous' song :wub:

Sorry Josh, your scores are safely in the spreadsheet and are part of the scores, I'm just bad with omitting people when writing in the scores, especially when they're so many rates - I try to see them all but sometimes miss some out.

Edit: added it in :)

I've only gotten into 'Ride' this past year. I never gave it the appreciation it deserves beforehand. :lol: I remember in the Lana discography rate a while ago, I must've rated 'Ride' ridiculously low. :lol:

13th: Ultraviolence

Average: 6.27

 

High By The Beach; Acidburn (10), Ultraviolence1989 (10), Josh. (9.5), KWEEN_DEE (9.5), Cody Slayberry (9.5), Cal (9), Parallel Reality (9), jafetsigfinns (9)

Born To Die; Henderella (1), Iz (2), JosephBieber (2), Vülker (3), Simon. (3)

 

 

Although I think most of those who rated can agree that Lana’s songs can be powerfully intriguing and evocative, if someone used this as an example, I don’t know if I’d be able to argue against. I felt that this was a bit of a disappointing moment when this was sent out as the second UK single (and only single beyond ‘West Coast’). The album Ultraviolence is generally seen as a step down for Lana in terms of quality, but there were certainly much better choices on the album - it wasn’t a lost cause - ‘Brooklyn Baby’, being the most glaringly obvious choice. 'Ultraviolence' doesn’t sound bad to me, but it’s just kind of...there, which is why I think it’s been voted as the lowest actual UK single here. However, it still survived the bottom four and is loved by UV (of course), Dan and Acidburn.

12th: Summertime Sadness (Vs Cedric Gervais Remix)

Average: 6.9

 

High By The Beach; LeeWallace (11), Josh. (11), Nick F1 (11), Ezra's Whore (10), J▲hq (10), Jay (10), Kl▲mzee (10), Cody Slayberry (10), jafetsigfinns (10), Noahspike (10)

Born To Die; Henderella (-1), Chez Wombat (-1), Cal (-1), Froot. (-1), princess_lotti (-1), jark (-1), Dorothy (-1), Atonement (2)

 

Ouch at all those -1s. The Cedric Gervais remix of ‘Summertime Sadness’, is Lana Del Rey’s highest selling song and is her most well known to casual audiences - so the fact it’s finishing at #12 will be quite the shock to some. I would never go as far as giving it a -1, because, while it’s a pretty standard and simple club remix, it’s still well produced and is always fun for a little dance. But beyond that, it’s just a decent remix of a song which is far superior in its original glory. Buzzjack seem to, for the most part, agree since ‘Summertime Sadness’ remains in the rate, while this only makes it to 12th.

 

 

Props to Iz, Gooddelta, ketalina, Riser,Noahspike and JosephBieber for noticing and amending the misspelling of ‘Cedric’ in the main rate :unsure:

YASSSSSSSS the absolutely pointless remix is out. 7 of us teaming up and undermining its chances of finishing Top 5 *.*
