Personally, Lana's new album "Paradise" did not come close to "Born To Die." This is just an opinion, however. I love her music no matter what so I will now touch upon why "Paradise" is amazing in its entirety.
1. F*ck yeah America! LDR never ceases to be patriotic throughout her music, whether she is mentioning our country, open skies, achieving the American Dream, etc, etc. I can't seem to get enough.
2. Bruce Springsteen, Elvis, Marilyn, & God. All 4 of these (people?) are mentioned variously throughout songs, and all 4 have been major influences on society.
3. Vulgarity. The fact that her songs are so subtle, yet contain such profanities is so awesome in my eyes. She knows what she wants to say and how she wants to convey it. None of this techno stuff that is taking over the music industry.
4. Lastly, love. And this isn't normal lyrical love. This is crazy, psychotic love between two people. She also sings about family ties which is endearing.
Clearly this album contains hidden gems, and after listening to it countless times, I have yet to get tired of it.
