My thoughts pretty much. "13 Beaches", "Cherry", "Groupie Love", "God Bless America", and "Change" I think will be remembered years later. If I had to peg the biggest hits, they would be "Love" and "13 Beaches". I think "Tomorrow Never Came" may get there someday, but it's so Chainsmokers and I think the whole song sounds kind of like a cheap Lennon knock-off. John's son doesn't sound all that original either... it's like he's trying to sound like his dad rather than his own voice. But who knows? It's catchy.
Overall, I just feel this album is like 5 songs too long. I think because Lana doesn't have much variability in her sound, releasing an album that's more than 12 songs is like yanking teeth just to get through all of it.
It's a nice change over Honeymoon. It absolutely comes nowhere near Lorde's Melodrama though. I just don't think Lana can pull off a long ass record because her sound doesn't change much from song to song. But she certainly left me with some unforgettable moments on this record. Lyrics like, "It hurts to love you, but I still love you. It's just the way I feel," sung in the way she delivers them... That's what makes her worth tuning in for.
