Yep, but there's nothing wrong with it.

Relatively for Lana? Yes.

But still not something commercial in terms of the current pop music scene. It feels that way in retrospect because it was successful, but it's still an alt-pop/trip hop album with darker lyrics as reviewers pointed out.

Compared to her other releases yes, compared to other pop girls no.

Not really. It's alternative, and alternative music in general is kind of not very appreciated by the average consumer.

No, none of its songs were meant for pop radio as you can see that her only hit was a remix for one of the songs on the album.

Absolutely.

Major label, expensive videos, rerelease, promotion on popular television shows like lol it was a big mainstream release from the start.

It was intended, yes, I believe so.

Commercially successful, yes.
Commercial as in the music being mainstream, no.

It was different for the time it was released. Pop music was still in its electropop/EDM (+Adele) phase when it came out, then everyone discovered it and realized it was the perfect blueprint for where pop music could be headed next. Then, Lana became one of the biggest and most influential pop stars on the planet, with minimal to zero promo. Talent always gets recognized

No.

It's only commercial if you compare her with her other works, but not with actual mainstream pop music.

Mess. That doesn't make the sound commercial or accessible to the GP.

.

How the hell is commercial? Please, enlighten us...

No Remember it came out in Jan. 2012. Dance pop was IT.

Yes in comparison to her later albums, no when comparing it to other music out at the time.

Yes. It blended three genres - pop, indie rock, and hip-hop - that tend to do well on pop radio. It may not have caught on with radio programmers, but it was very accessible.
