  1. #3 Complex http://www.complex.com/music/2014/12/best-albums-2014/

     

    Earlier this year, Lana Del Rey performed a 10-song set at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery—the place where her idols lay to rest, within the city that she's idolized, the Old Hollywood she attempts to embody within her music. She, frankly, peaked. Just two years after her second, highly acclaimed Born to Die album, Lana linked up with Black Keys virtuoso Dan Auerbach for a ride through the West, with enough twang to make even her own idols bow before her. Because that's what Lana does best—takes the iconic old souls, farms their depression, and crafts it into a stunning, no matter how contrived, body of work.
    Ultraviolence is just under an hour, a refreshing 11 songs that Lana perfected to represent all rumors about the artist she really is. "West Coast," the woozy first single, followed by "Sad Cry," a tale about being the other woman, are two tracks that define the album. Followed up with cuts like "Brooklyn Baby," which she wrote with Lou Reed in mind, to "Fucked My Way Up to the Top," a bluesy diss track that comments on the media's perception of her. Throughout all 11 tracks on Ultraviolence, Lana makes one thing clear and it's that her want to retreat from the same glory and fame she desired balances seamlessly with her longing for the glamorous world in the first place.


  2. Did you seriously just compare an awards show with a funeral?  If it's fucking appropriate to openly discuss Lana's love life in this forum why isn't it to openly say a song she made is bad? Because it would hurt the feeling of people like prettydrugs? Really? I'm not just going to pretend I'm happy with the song she made just because it's the golden globes. And Yellow Flicker Light is better than Big Eyes (and I don't even like Lorde that much).  

    Hurt my feelings?! LOL. this is hilarious... of course u can say whatever u want, i just think what u said is shit. No feelings hurt  :)


  3. she deserves album of the year soo much.

    i think she could get the noms for pop vocal album and music film (that could win)

    idk about west coast, it surely deserves at least one but i dont see that coming.

     

    she really deserves to be recognized. she's pure talent and art and u dont see that alot nowadays. just if i could run the grammys.... 


  4. I thought I had listened "He's got the fire, and he walks with IT / He's got the fire, and he talks with IT" in the beginning as well.

     

    Maybe, somehow, a reference to Twin Peaks's "Fire walk with me". I might have disfunctional ears, though.

    I hear that too and thought the same! Id love if it's really a TP reference. Btw I saw many people saying it's 'and he walks / talks with Fame' but i dont hear that tbh
