Pepsi Cola P****

pre-chorus part is from Shrek 

People say this whenever she releases something new lol

Neil is responsible for so many good pictures, wouldn't be mad at a longterm artistic relationship

It would be so wonderful if Neil art directed this era's artwork, especially because of the surreal tone of his own work.

This is very lovely and softening, but also somehow uncomfortable (in a good way). I would be really joyful if the actual cover was similar to that. Good work!

I love her song "Everything 4 U". The other ones I see as good efforts, but she has great potential.

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 thought this, too! In TP, the "fire" represents death. Makes sense... About K, maybe?

WHY THE HATE FOR THE OTHER WOMAN?
It's such a flawless, emotional, deep and raw cover of a truly brilliant, beautiful classic song...
The best song to end this album, it just gives you chills.

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.

UNLISTENABLE?!

My opinion is based on mostly one listen per non-single, and I guess I have to say something reductive like: Trip hop meets the Eagles. It's not that bad really, but I agree with @@whitman that it is the vocal delivery that is emphasized way over the lyrics in some songs. So she's very interested in showing that side of her virtuosity, especially in TOW, where she's stressing herself as a performer/interpreter of a particular style (which is not the style of the rest of the album).

I don't get FMWUTTT as being about anybody specific (still think Taylor over Lorde, but I don't see any definitive target). This song seems more of an emotional interlude. PWYC reminds me of May Jailer, so I like that one quite a bit. The rest of the unfamiliar ones I'll have to wait for a final opinion from multiple listens, which I can do with a clear conscious (because I pre-ordered it). UV is on Youtube as single tracks for now. I wonder how fast she'll get it to spotify.

In summary, it's possible people who liked BTD may not like this one as much, but then it's also possible people who didn't like BTD might like this one a lot. People that like all of her (diverse) leaks/unreleased will probably like UV.

I really admire Nina Simone's original version, and because of that I was naturally quite worried about Lana's take on it. But it did impress me to the point that I like her version more than the original one.
But I understand that it might seem off. Maybe it's just that I tend to fall easily for interpretations like that.

Okay. Here are my thoughts:
 
Cruel World is a cool song. When I first listened "Put my little red party dress on" with those overlayered vocals, I got chills. I just hoped the guitar intro Lana mentioned would be way longer (at least 1 minute), given the length of the song.
I don't adore Ultraviolence. The repetition of the chorus is tiring (I had that same problem with Body Electric). I probably won't listen to it a lot.
Shades of Cool is everything. One of Lana's best songs. Haunting and beautiful, and the guitar solo overpowering her unlistenable vocals... God! It gives me life.
Brooklyn Baby is a nice song, I really like it. The way she sings "Brooklyn ba-ay-by" it's so unique. And Barrie's vocals were a nice surprise.
I don't understand how some of you say almost every song on the album is better than West Coast. I guess as it was released earlier, we somehow got tired of it, I don't understand completely. But that song stands out. That tempo change and those little Lana choirs are refreshing.
Sad Girl surprised me in such a good way. It may be a little too early to decide, but it's probably my favorite song of the album. Jazzy Lana to me is Lana at her best.
Pretty When You Cry... It's beautiful. Not even the repetition in the chorus annoyed me. This song is heaven on my headphone. The last minute live must be awesome.
Well, I didn't like Money Power Glory and Fucked My Way Up to the Top much. I guess it didn't flow right with the rest of the album, those beats. "Dope and diamonds, do-oope and diamonds" was pretty cool, though.
Old Money is great. I think it is a bit overrated, but still it's a lovely song.
The first time I heard Lana's cover of The Other Woman I cried. Truly. You can hear emotion through her voice. Her vocals were beautiful. Some people here said they would love a Lana album of covers. I believe every person who hears this cover would agree to this idea as well.
This new version of Black Beauty is nice. It doesn't stand out, but it's at least better than the demo.
Guns and Roses might be too repetitive, but it has such a peaceful chorus.
Florida Kilos is Lizzy Grant's ressurection in form of sound waves. It's a great bonus, a fun song.
 
(I'm sorry I wrote too much)
Edit: Damn, I really wrote too much.

What the hell. The original post is misleading.

Regarding the snippets, I really liked Pretty When You Cry. The tiltle didn't attract me much when I saw it on the tracklist, but that first line on the snippet is really touching to me.
Also enjoyed The Other Woman, Sad Girl, Old Money and Florida Kilos.
Cruel World somehow disappointed me, but I feel like I have no right to judge it, as it is just a microsnippet. I'm still excited to hear the guitar solo.

Oh, I see. Someone should fix it. I virtually and internatically ran as fast as I could, thinking it had leaked.Edit: Nevermind, I see it is now fixed.

What the hell. The original post is misleading.

Hey everyone!
I made this topic to discuss something I noticed as soon as I listened to Ultraviolence and Brooklyn Baby...
First, does anyone notice the STRIDENT simmilarity between Ultraviolence and Born To Die's overture? The orchestral, empiral string cadence?
 
And in a second hand, does anyone notice a vocal melody simmilarity between brooklyn baby's "My boyfriend's in the band" and Summertime Sadness' "I've got my red dress on tonight"?
 
After I compared them and sang them one after the other I felt somehow disappointed... I just can't describe the feeling. It's not quite disappointment... It's as if I feel she always writes about the same things with the same punch lines or objects (red sun party dresses, brands, cigarrettes, daddies, and stuff like that) and not just that but her melodies are repetitive too?

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE her ever since I discovered her in Stereogum in exactly August 23rd 2011 with this article http://www.stereogum.com/786631/lana-del-rey-video-games-video/video/
So I'm all here for the love.
But I just felt like talking about this

I accept that critics that try to understand an artist make their point even that's a negative one. But in Lana's case 75% of the articles are premeditated misogynistic shades written by people who put aside their artistic sensibility because they just cannot except that a beautiful and talented girl can succeed in the music business in her own peculiar way. What was shocking for the indie and for the pop elite is the fact that this girl is becoming very popular with songs that shouldn't be that popular, with a stage presence that doesn't share anything with the accustomed stage gimmicks. She's standing out and that's why she's a target for everyone in the music business. Slowly the real artists are starting to acknowledge her talent: Moroder, Auerbach, Calvin H., C. Cobain, Cyrus, S. Twain etc. are saying nice things about her songs...because they are beautiful, gorgeous. These are words that she likes and is derided by many even by some of her fans, But don't forget something cynicism is just the beginning of an intelligent life and by no means the end of it. Lana is not a cynic, she's above that, she believes in beautiful things and in romance that's why I love her and her music. I pray for her to be strong
