Ultraviolence Reviews: 74 Metascore (DISCUSS REVIEWS ONLY)
ExoticFlower replied to Jared's topic in Latest News
The Norwegian newspaper VG gave Lana 5/6, which is very good. They have consistently given Lana a high score, and they give constructive and good reviews in my opinion. It was a pain in the ass to translate (I'm drunk yo), but I'll give it a try. "Last time she told us about her past consisting off underage alcoholism and her relationships with older men. Prior to her newest album release she shrugged off the importance of feminism and told us she was more interested in intergalactic expeditions. Sheer stupidity, or a conscious and provocative move to gain attention? Probably both. Lana Del Rey carries all off the western decadence and shallowness on her shoulders. And she does so with all the cynical dignity todays popculture has to offer. The New York girl has gone from eight producers to one, and kept a couple of her old songwriters. Together they amplified the dark and broad spectered sound from "Born to Die". It has become a black and white travel through our time with a poorly hidden "A Clockwork Orange" reference in the album title, accompanied by a couple of new identities. The blasé and scrupeless sound that worships the darker, more tenacious side in ultraviolence features honest and not so discreet titles like "Money Power Glory", "Fucked My Way Up to the Top" and "Old Money." The masochistic comes forward in the title and the opening song, Ultraviolence and Cruel World. And further down the tracks-list, "The Other Woman", is a fragile ballad which in the start can make the singer sound jealous. But in truth it is Del Rey herself that is the other woman. The music is pop, draped in mysterious veils and a cool secret agent sounding guitar (wtf, give me a different way to translate this, it is so lame). "Shades of Cool" is so 007-ish that I'm seriously anticipating her as the next James Bond artist. If that doesn't turn into reality, then I'll get really disappointed. (me toooo, boo Madonna.) The album as whole can feel more dull and tedious than "Born to Die" (no shit). "Ultraviolence" also lacks tracks with monsterhit potential, like "Video Games" (wtf, West Coast?), but that didn't seem to be the motivation either. In truth it seems like they are trying to place Lana Del Rey in this expanded Indie landscape, where she continues to exist as a mix of Film Noir, Nancy Sinatras vocals and Tori Amos' angel of death. Does that make her seem like a poser? (lol) Off course (hipsta sista). But who can care less, when the result is so mysteriously delicious (oh yeah)." -

I have always ended up as a Lannister when taking online quizzes. I would so pay my debt to the fandom by leaking, so I'm glad UV belong to this noble asshat -

I actually agree. We are so spoiled by leaks and things that are not supposed to be out there. I bet it would make Lana happy if everything went smoothly. -

Nordmenn elsker Lana -
My flower crown, a slutty crop top and Chanel No. 5.

I love the picture, her profile should be used more in photographs. Her nose, forehead, chin and lips ratio really is to die for.
-
Honestly that does sound like something Lana could write...

Taken from the Misc thread.

In a split second I expected her to go all "Buffalo soldier" on me when I heard the first drums (idk why). My heart stopped a bit out of fear
-
I have been googling my ass off trying to find her dress, haaaalp meeee people of Lanaboards.
-
I like rock and heavier music too, so yes.
-
My summer jam, just like predicted. The sound was unexpected, but expected at the same time, if that makes sense?
-
Trust no one

The cover shoot makes me think that THIS is the song I'll be all dark and sultry to throughout the summer. Fuck that summertime sadness remix

Inglorious Basterds. The actors, the music, the theme... love it. My mom sometimes get into this mood to watch violent movies, and then we sit down for a cozy evening with this movie. Mom: "He totally deserved being bashed in with that baseball bat." Me: "Hell yeah." <3 I also have a thing for Pulp Fiction. I remember as a kid I was told I was too young to watch it, but when my parents were away I put it on anyway and thought it was the best thing ever. John and Uma dancing... iconic, right? And when Vincent waves his gun around in the car and accidentally blast poor Marvin's head off, omg, they both just go all "wtf just happened" and I LAUGH so hard. My love for these movies are mostly because of the clever dialogs and the random, trivial things that suddenly gets mentioned along the way. You always learn something new watching a Quentin movie, that's for sure. AND the violence. That's a key factor too.

The fact that she is lurking around in social media thrills me and terrifies me at the same time. I bet she would call me a cunt or a little bitch... -

"Be my daddy." That's what I would have said. And I would have meant it too
