New Reviews: Lana Del Rey's Voice Is 'Pinched and Prim'

In this week's slate of Rolling Stone reviews, Rob Sheffield pans internet star Lana Del Rey's first album, Born to Die: "Her voice is pinched and prim, and her song doctors need to go the fuck back to med school." Also, Joe Levy raves about Leonard Cohen's latest record, Old Ideas, in which the legendary songwriter "has shorn the ornament from his language to move from the personal to the universal," and Simon Vozick-Levinson praises the "aggressively adorable debut" of the New York band Hospitality.
