At her destroying her own career...    
 
and Why is it on Nosiey? 

This isn't from the video, this is a pic of Lana telling that guy what the video will be like and thats his reaction tbqh. 

Ultraviolence made me lose my interest in Lana Del Rey for a moment. IDK why.

Release date: "soon...May 1st"

Cruel World: Repetitive lyrics and not really deep lyrics, THEYRE very literal 
Ultra violence: Cringe-worthy. "You used to call me poison, like I was poison ivy..." WOOWW SO CLEVER
 
Shades of Cool: So stupid
 
Brooklyn Baby: terrible hipster shit
 
West Coast: ...
 
Sad Girl: lyrics make me wanna puke
 
Pretty when I cry: a 4 year old could have written that
 
Money power glory: Shitty lyrics
 
Fucked my way: Desperate attention whoring
 
Old Money: Average lyrics.
 
The other woman: she sings like shit
 
Black Beauty: Beautiful
 
The others are shitty too (Guns Roses and Florida)
 
Auerbach saved her cause the lyrics suck ass!

that closeup of her eating the orange

the most expensive thing in this video is an orange

The video looks like a christian themed porn teaser , really.

I get she's trying to detach herself from the BTD/Paradise era with her music and visuals but there are better ways to do it then to put out poorly made music videos. I've already accepted the fact that we won't be getting anymore BTD, NA, or Ride style music videos, but that doesn't mean that there should be a complete and total lack of effort. Summer Wine, Summertime Sadness, and all of her old Lizzy videos are perfect examples of where she was given little to work with yet managed to make something good. I would rather only 2 quality music videos or even 1 rather than 3-5 poorly made ones.
 
This whole era seems to me that she's trying so hard to prove that she is authentic and it's ultimately ruining everything. 

And here we have a great example of why new members should wait to make threads

I'm a dragon, you're a whore

inb4 yall are so delusional rn
 
This record is bad and she is just fresh to a lot of people in America who just discovered Summertime Sadness Cedric Remix
 
That's why she is no1 at this moment.
 
And you will realise this in few months...You won't play it anymore... The thirst for new songs is already here.
 
Lana gurl/sis/bae u better take some talented and professional people not egocentric talentless guy (saw some shitty interview, VERY awful and shitty personality)
 
If she will go this way I can see her in 2016 living on old fame with Summertime Sadness, Blue Jeans, Born to die...
 

I never thought of Born To Die as an actual death of a person. By the song and video my understanding is that the love between the characters, in the case Lana and tattoo dude I forgot the name, is the one who is Born to Die. The love itself is born to die, as a metaphor for what will happen if the love remains. Some love's are born to die.

I still prefer BTD over UV and always will. It's a hands down choice for me.

Pussy like the cat you know there's a cat in the photo get it

The lack of strong lyrics and repetitiveness of UV bores me

you're trash if these are new to you 

he's the leaker

From IMDB: The Source Family was a radical experiment in '70s utopian living. Their outlandish style, popular health food restaurant, rock band, and beautiful women made them the darlings of Hollywood’s Sunset Strip; but their outsider ideals and the unconventional behavior of their spiritual leader, Father Yod, caused controversy with local authorities.

Before we journey down the rabbit hole that is the Source Family, their leader Father Yod and the influence all of this may have had on Lana Del Rey and her album Ultraviolence, here is some background information of who they were and what they did:
 





There are also many excellent articles on Jim Baker, Father Yod and the Family available online. While I will be linking some of them here as references, I will mostly be focusing on the Family and their own personal interpretations of what was going on during the time they were active as I believe this is where Lana gathered most of her inspiration from. There are a lot of negative articles written about what actually was going on behind closed doors at the Family homes and while I'm sure some may be accurate, and will lend support to some theories, the writers of the articles were not a part of the Family and did not experience first hand what went on. While most former Family members do have criticism toward Jim Baker, the man, they speak very highly of Father Yod as their Earthly Spiritual Father, enough so that I don't doubt they would embellish. I recommend reading all evidence and articles with a grain of salt as all of it is personal anecdotes and there is no solid facts to back up any claims made.
I encourage every member of Lana Boards to dig in and discover any other pieces of evidence you may find regarding this topic. I will add to this post as new evidence is found with credit to the finder!

Here is the original post that I made in the Ultraviolence lyrics thread so please have a look at that for an idea of what started all of this:

http://lanaboards.com/index.php?/topic/4684-ultraviolence/?p=198053

So hopefully now you have an idea of the Family, we'll jump into the evidence we have. Some of it will be stuff that I and other users have already posted on the UV thread, some will be new. Please note, this section will be updated as more info is discovered.

The Source Family and their Influence on Ultraviolence

General Evidence



Lyrical Evidence
While I believe some songs on UV are inspired by the Source Family, I don't think that all songs were inspired by them. So you won't see Old Money on this list for example, as it is clearly written for the Great Gatsby, inspired by the character of Daisy and written as an epilogue to Lana's Young and Beautiful.

I also believe Lana is inspired from many different things and she weaves them into her own story, either by becoming who she is writing about or imagining herself in a similar situation. She has said before that is in the habit of writing about several things in a song and tying them all together. For example, Video Games being about two different men, etc. So while some lyrics fit the Source theory, others will not as they are probably influenced either by her life or something else.

Cruel World



Ultraviolence



Shades of Cool




Brooklyn Baby



Aesthetic Evidence
This section is about the pictures used for Ultraviolence vs pictures from The Source Family Archives as well as the soundscape Dan Auerbach and Lana came up with. Lana had stated that her new take on the UV album was "Unlistenable" with many different sounds, tempo changes, etc. Some of the Ya Ho Wha recordings sound very similar to how Lana re-did UV with the layered sounds, experimental vocals and tempo changes.

Sound



Visuals



As I stated above I will continue updating this post with more evidence as I find it. Please feel free to post any similarities you might find and I will happily add it with credit to you!

Her male equivalent
 

Lana's "Alabama Year" was probably more like a week-long Deliverance-themed road trip. I assume that many of her tropes are based on brief experiences/ideas that impacted her and shaped her sense of self, but chronologically, weren't that significant. (The cult thing, the '7 year?!' relationship with the music mogul, the scary 'meth era'.) And I think she spins different versions of the same story, or new stories altogether, that complement whatever aesthetic/preoccupation she currently has going on. Let's say she gets further inspired by Sixties' left-leaning music and drug culture, but this time with a British or German angle. I'm sure she'll suddenly have stories about how the Canterbury scene influenced her, or how she spent a previously unmentioned mystery year in Berlin (Bowie style) and while she was there discovered Krautrock and German philosophy. (Because it's Lana, it can't just be that she looked it up online, she has to have been there.) 
 
LDR is the ultimate adapted screenplay experience.
 
And I don't mind that at all. Facts aren't relevant to most art.

tropico was a waste of time

It means music that you would listen to while watching/checking out boys. 

DO. IT. I'm so so so interested in this.
