Anyone have her album and has listened to this song?
 
The quality is so poor and I'd like to know if its just me, or if really was recorded this poorly.
 
Thanks.

It's not the quality of the recording that turns me off. I'm just not a fan of the music.

I believe that you will like La Sera better than Lana Del Rey, somehow I manage to get these two names mixed up, really weird, but you will like the La Sera album better, me thinks

Okay, I think I've got this straight. 

 There is this record that has the song "Summertime Sadness" on it:
 

 
 
And then there is this record:
 

 
And in some ways based on somewhat similar artist names and a weird similarity in the cover art, it may be possible to confuse these two records (if one doesn't listen to them.) Am I right? Are these the records we are discussing?

Yup, you got it right, or almost There are indeed some weird similarities regarding cover art, name of artist. But it is up to the beholder of the ears to decide which one is preferable. I do think you will like La Sera, although they both look attractive,,, at least the way I see it

Okay, well, I apologize to any fans of Lana Del Ray; but in my personal opinion, that is one truly horrible record. Of course I only spent about three minutes listening to it, but that was all I could take...
 
I gave a quick listen to some of La Sera's record, and that one may have some merit. The jury's still out and I'll have to come back to it...

so your opinion means absolutely nothing is what youre saying?
 
listening to something for 3 minutes and you hate the record?

Sometimes it only takes three minutes to reach a conclusive verdict.

to me it means its not your type of music, and not that the record is bad, because it isnt.

Sticking to Lana Del Ray...
 
She can't sing. Her lyrics are mostly dreadful. The mastering is over-compressed to the point of obvious distortion. And I don't even care much for her looks.
 
But I love this album, one of my favourites from last year. Definitely the one most played in the car, even though I usually skip half the tracks. Summertime Sadness is one of the tracks I never skip.
 
It helps to listen to it in an "ironic" manner (it also helps to put "ironic" in quotes). Let the loud, over-compressed sound become part of the charm. And the more people that slag her off, the more her charm grows. Anyone tried her recent Paradise re-issue, with several extra tracks?

Yes, I must say I'm also a fan, despite the recording quality or lack thereof. She has a kind of vintage-mixed-with-current style, and I like it.
 
Enjoying all of her songs, but particularly Blue Jeans and American from the Paradise re-issue.

She give me an "I don't care how ****** you think this sounds" vibe, and I kinda dig it.

I have to admit I fell in love with Lana Del Rey ever since I heard RIDE for the first time. I think she is a true artist connecting to her feelings in a way we do not see often in pop-music today.
