The Siren

Flipside is a great song. the guitars remind me of "The Yeah Yeah Yeahs" album "Fever To Tell"
Listening to the "ful UV" with 16 tracks feels more complete than listening to the 11, 14 or 15 track versions. Now it feels complete, like a completely told story, as it was with 15track Born To Die and 9track Paradise.

I cant get Old Money out of my head, I wake up singing it.

"Not a good look"
I hope flipside is FK pt2 or a rework of Go Go Dancer or something, just to see everyone upset at fun and the "endorsement of drugs and hedonism" (I don't remember what thread someone said that about FK in but, jesus loosen up) 

the florida kilos hate is nagl, you guys. someone deleted it?? do you not like fun?

I feel like a lot of you need to sit down and evaluate what's wrong with you that you don't like Guns and Roses. Especially the Lanalysists among you.

the ONLY things I don't like about UV are:
 
-Sad Girl was a bit of a let down. the verses are so sexy and sensual, but the chorus is weak. Lana fell into the trap of 'I'm a sad girl', which I was worried she would do, given the title of the song.
 
-Guns and Roses' chorus is lyrically weak. The verses are cool, but the chorus is so repetitive and boring. I would've preferred a remastered AFFA, similar to BB, in its place.
 
-The lack of the 'Let the light in/It's a cruel cruel world line' from Cruel World. It's only a minor issue, I can manage without it, it's just that I don't understand why Lana sang the lines if they weren't intended for the track.
 
apart from that, i'm in love, i'm in love, i'm in love...

did you just censor the word 'butt'?

Australia. The Linkin Park album is up but Ultraviolence is still listed as a pre order.
Oh wait! NOW its up, YESSSS! UV in hq here i come!

I'm not a professional reviewer by any means, but if anybody's interested, here's my look on the album: http://bloggingnickster.blogspot.com/2014/06/ultraviolence-lana-del-rey.html
 
(If you don't want to read track-by-track analysis, scroll on down and there's an "overall" outlook on the album.)

That was a cringe-worthy personal attack disguised as an album review. They didn't even bother discussing the songs.

still laughing about this part of the guardian's review:
 
"It takes 50 seconds of Ultraviolence for the first bad-boy boyfriend to turn up – "you got your gun and you like to party" – and 80 before our old friend the red dress hoves into view."
 
our old friend the red dress

How the fk can this be called a review and be added to metacritics ? Its written as tabloid news, worse than Wendy Williams show. Even the title: Lana Del Rey: Femme Fatale or Fraud? The wedding singer for Kimye returns with a two-star album, 'Ultraviolence'.         
 

She's obviously talking about Cynthia Germanotta

Overblown I think that this cover is very weak and badly produced.
I can understand that she likes Nina and her songs, but let's be honest she can't deliver it at all...
Compare to Nina's voice she is flat and these "Aaaah Haaaa Ahhaaa" are so "trying hard"
Maybe if production was different BUT MAYBE, it could be better....but this...

Lmao Lorde is so dumb, what is wrong with being a hopeless romantic and having a great love story??? Life's too short for mediocre love bye. (and that's before Lana dissed feminism)
 
I stayed up until 3am to listen to the album and I need more time to make my opinion on it but IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL OH MY GOD. Fave songs so far are Florida Kilos, Fucked My Way Up To The Top, Ultraviolence, Sad Girl but I love everything else a lot too.

FIRST LISTEN SO OVERWHELMING CRUEL WORLD HELP I AM SLAYED AND I CANT GET UP

ok
so my opinion
 
1st I'm so damn happy that ''fucked my way to the top'' is not about Lady Gaga as everyone was saying. I knew it was not... Now everyone clarly know it's for Lorde. She ''copied'' her and called her patethic.
 
2nd Cruel world isn't thaaaaaaaat amazing, but i love it, maybe with time i'll enjoy more.
 
3rd Brooklyn baby was the one i didn't like (before having all songs ), but I AM IN LOVE WITH IT.
 
4th Black Beaty with rock version IS AMAZING
 
5th Old money must be the anthem in this album, don't you agree??  
 
6th I believe Guns and Roses is the one not that good, compared with all ...
 
7th Florida Kilos just makes me remember lizzy, just like everyone says HAHAHAHA ISN'T IT FUN?LOOOL
 
 
 
My Top for now:

1. Old Money
2.Money Power Glory
3. Shades of Cool
4. West Coast
5. Cruel World
6. Fucked My Way To The Top
7, BRooklyn baby
8. Ultraviolence
9. Sad Girl
10, Pretty when you cry
11The other woman
12. Black Beaty
13, Yayo (loool) Florida Kilos
14. Guns and Roses

This album was everything I expected it to be and not to be in the best way possible. I listened to the album without skipping any tracks, and it felt weird knowing four of the songs in a row after Cruel World, so that was a little weird. I'm not sure if I'm the biggest fan of Cruel World, and I'm not exactly feeling the narco-swing in Cruel World but more in other songs, I think it's because I expected the "let the light in..." part at the end of the track, but I guess not. Brooklyn Baby and West Coast are amazing but we already knew that-- the production of Sad Girl was amazing but the lyrics and the chorus felt a little lazy for me, but I still really like it.
 
My favorite tracks were definitely Old Money, Money Power Glory and Black Beauty. Holy shit I knew I was going to love Old Money and damn, did I fall in love with it againa after listening to the snippets. It's so simple and beautiful and it reminds me so much of The Great Gatsby and a part of me wonders if this was the song she wrote for the film alongside Young and Beautiful.
 
Money Power Glory is awesome, the chorus is absolutely everything. I felt kind of iffy about Fucked My Way To The Top when we first heard the snippet, but the song is really good towards the second half of it.
 
Black Beauty-- I heard the snippet and was let down since the verse sounded a lot like the demo we had, but what I got as soon as I got to the chorus... I can't explain it. I teared up and my jaws literally dropped, like @@SitarHero 's reaction, but a little more sane. That new production is so amazing I really wanted to cry. I fist pumped slowly to it and it was amazing.
 
Also Florida Kilos, I didn't expect a song like this to be in the album but it really worked as a bonus track-- it's just so Lizzy/Lana Del Ray.

Well the final version of Black Beauty is officially the first Lana song to make me cry my fucking eyes out omg
 
Like I had random tears in the verse and then it just SWELLED INTO MAGNIFICENCE and I was sobbing out loud
 
Only ones I didn't take an immediate shining to were MPG, FMWUTTT, and GAR...so we'll see how that goes

First listen: For me it's much more a coherent album than BTD. Like BtD and Paradise, the album has the same "feeling" or "vibe" from the start to finish, but there is no way to compare her vocal delivery in UV, it’s simply phenomenal – even though the lyrics are not really as good as some of her previous work the WAY she sings it’s much more powerful. It’s raw and honest, while I was listening to some songs like Carmen and MDM I felt like listening to a character, but in this album I felt like I can believe in every word she sings. It’s hard to beat individual songs like Off to The Races, Born to Die and Video Games, but UV works way better as a whole album.
 
My favorites: Old Money, Money Power Glory, Florida Kilos, Cruel World, Pretty When I cry and Black Beauty ( and all the other songs previous released);
 
Not really feeling at the moment: Guns and Roses and The Other Woman.

old money = axl rose husband + methamphetamines
 
and she's not just the 'Queen of New York' anymore....she's the 'Queen of New York City'

I'm getting my life to Cruel World 

Still crying at Black Beauty because it was clearly meant to be a single and now it probably wont ever get a video since it's a bonus track 

After old money (flawless) I ran to BB, and I was like....FUCK YESS!!! IT IS DIFFERENT!!!
