PS She's doing surprisingly well in the US, one of her weaker markets. Relatively speaking.

I agree. Reminds me of Born to Run. I found Born to Die started off well but faded after National Anthem, but I'm enjoying Paradise. It works really well as a cohesive piece of work. Ride was the obvious and correct choice for lead single however. Really really enjoying it, and I know others who are too. Even those who aren't necessarily fans of Lana.
Plus the artwork to Paradise is stunning. Love it.
I loved Video Games and Born To Die when they first game but today I listened to the album in full to see what all the hype was about. I was expecting the album to be really depressing and boring but it wasn't. It is an absolutely amazing album. I Lana's voice and her lyrics are fantastic. I just love everything about this album. My favourites are currently Video Games, Off To The Races, Born To Die, Diet Mountain Dew, National Anthem, Radio, Carmen, Summertime Sadness, Ride and Body Electric.
I'm currently up to Blue Velvet but so far no weak track!
She is an incredible song writer. I think I said it before but out of all the younger pop scarlets. Lana is head and shoulders above them in the writing stakes.
Gods and Monsters in particular is one of the best songs of the past few years imho.
Being banging on about it for ages, Lana is a MAJOR new talent. The fact that she's also drop dead gorgeous may even negatively colour some people's attitudes to her talent. She's the real deal, no question.

I think I'll be hyperventilating if I'm close to the stage at her gig:o

I think this is a very good point actually.
Perhaps her beauty is intimating people.
Gods and Monsters is amazing.
In agreement also, I absolutely adore Gods and Monsters. Seems to be quite an underrated Lana song, its brilliant.
