Ultra Violet

That's why it's so crackhead of me to always bring it up how good theyd be together

Wait I'm asking with genuine curiosity, why do you like wheels on the bus so much? Mine are: Pacify Her Cake Milk and Cookies High School Sweethearts Strawberry Shortcake Brain & Heart Field Trip The Void The Contortionist Death (But I need more time. I'm sure some will hit me more personally)

I actually can't even get through this but like, wow. I hope she does more of her songs

Radiohead ft. Lana Del Rey They don't really do features but it would be such a good collaboration along the lines of Let The Light In, Living With Myself, Some Things Last A Long Time, Get Free

I literally fucking love this album. Every time I listen it gets better. And I have watched the Death music video a whole bunch of times now.

There was a time when I really looked up to one particular thing she said in the BTD era. When asked "what would you say to the haters?" And she said: "I don't think I would say anything at all" I was actually kind of shook because I was a very reactive person back then, not in a way that I'd talk back at people but I'd always show a very angry/rude attitude around people who I thought didn't like me. And that must have changed after that. Overall I don't think she's been a role model, but she's definitely inspiring.

I really like the album, and I'm already enjoying it about twice as much as I was enjoying k-12. Tunnel Vision & The Contortionist sound most similar to her earlier work, and Nymphology also sounds familiar (maybe to Firedrill). After School still had her most experimental vocals, though The Contortionist and Nymphology at the end is like that too, which is so cool. None of the transitions are really that cool or necessary except Nymphology - Evil. I thought I was excited for her ethereal/otherworldy sound but I've taken a lot more to the rock-influenced tracks.

I think Lana should still do something with Hollywood (song). It would be so good as a single, and also so sweet knowing it was written close to the beginning of her fame, and that now she's been living in Hollywood for like 10 years. All the lyrics would still smash.

Listening to Always Ready To Lose You takes me straight back to 2014-2015, even tho I only heard it for the first time this year. It's such a shame it wasn't released back then, because it would have been a HIT. The sound it has is so early 2010s pop. It's almost sickening because it makes me think of songs that would have played at the "college" parties I went to when I was 17 and 18.

I so badly need to update my UV timeline blog. Haven't touched it since before Boz spilled everything. But it's so interesting that Melancholia + He Hit Me coz he loves me lead to the Ultraviolence that we got. + more of the Lana and Barrie rule the world days. Idk why they didn't do more with their work together. Like an album wouldn't have been necessary, but if they had performed some of those songs in an acoustic live session or something. Imagine

My ex best friend showed it to me, saying that I would like it bc it's creepy. And she was right

I've been a fan since dollhouse in late 2014. And halsey since 2015. I loved seeing them rise and take over, especially melanie because she was so unique. Melanie literally went hand-in-hand with all the trends at the time. the short pastel goth trend on tumblr, the bigger interest in makeup starting in 2014, and the dark lyrics commentating society was actually hella grunge.

That's actually awesome! I suppose because Melanie isn't "a tik tok artist" I thought the additional fans from that platform would be minor, and assumed everyone hyping her there were already old fans. I'm wrong already (I also never liked Play date )

I love the song, and I love that she loves it too and wants it to be her most streamed. But I HIGHLY doubt it will, bc Playdate may always be that, and I doubt it will even surpass Pacify Her. I have a feeling everyone IS going to checkout the song/album/movie and she might even get new fans, but people aren't going to be obsessed with it the way we were with Crybaby in 2015-2016. She isn't dominating a single platform like tumblr anymore, where she defined some of the aesthetic too, but I would love to be proven wrong tbh. I think Void will be #1 streamed on the album tho.

He was "game over"

Is Barrie the one she's singing about?

Nvm I literally added nothing

Oh shit I forgot about venus fly trap. That one IS cool.

The title track is the only one I know well from the album, and I agree, done super well, and i love the high energy. It stands out but all the others must be forgettable

Honestly the whole album had aged poorly before it was even released I never listened again after the release day (But I would love to love it. I will give it another try)

The video is amazing, funny and so weird. I applaud the fuck out of her for doing whatever she wants, whatever is meaningful to her, without caring about looking hot, or even looking "good". The closeups made me want to move my face further away from the screen and I actually loved it. I can't wait to see the world she's building and where it all goes, too.

Let The Light In is kinda Radiohead-esque

I can't wait for this to keep rolling out. She's taken an album/era concept to the next level, yet she's switched up the song production so much that is actually hasnt confined that to the concept

I hope she tries a more cohesive concept again, but she will probably just continue to be wild and free
