What if she continued with the Born to Die/ Paradise layout scheme, but just changed the background, her picture, and font color? I always thought it would be kind of cool if all of her stuff under the name Lana would kinda fit together visually like that.

I'm not a big fan of remixes but these two are just
 

 

This one.

I love Balam Acab & this remix is so soothing, I love it.

I genuinely can't wait for a darker sound from Lana. I want this album to be so dark  that I feel like crushing the souls of my lesser enemies while listening to it.    The name is promising, I wonder if we'll get any references to A Clockwork Orange other than the title.

I'm a bit anal when it comes to the order of a track list so I decided to compose my most favorite tracks from Born To Die and Paradise, along with the singles Young and Beautiful,Once Upon a Dream and West Coast, into a more cohesive order--or cohesive to me, at least. The tracks are as follows:
 
01. Off To the Races
02. Diet Mountain Dew
03. Blue Velvet
04. Carmen
05. Million Dollar Man
06. Lolita
07. Lucky Ones
08. Summertime Sadness
09. Video Games
10. Gods & Monsters
11. Body Electric
12. Born To Die
13. Ride
14. Blue Jeans
15. West Coast
16. Cola
17. This Is What Makes Us Girls
18. National Anthem
19. Bel Air
20. American
21. Yayo
22. Young and Beautiful (DH Orchestral Version) 
23. Once Upon a Dream

This is the most Lana song ever; Gainsbourg + depressed 60's singing starlets . . .
 

 
But with English lyrics that do the original justice

I, do, like the version in the trailer a tad bit more just because the instruments are more pronounced in it; thus making the song more dramatic and cinematic - the additional strings and drums really make a difference.

the real question is
will there be a better quality version?

It is so dark and magical and beautiful. I'm in absolute awe of it! I would have liked to hear the higher pitched vocals during the aaah aaah's more clearly, but other than that it is perfect. I really want her to record some more tracks for Disney!

Either some Patsy Cline or Loretta Lynn.

Just one last song:

I could name so many songs I'd love for Lana to cover, but honestly, I want to hear her cover this...

 
I do not understand how this hasn't happened yet.

MARILYN songs
 
My Heart Belongs to Daddy
Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend

I don't if this has been mentioned / discussed elsewhere, and I do know it's kinda speculative, but bear with me...
 
Blanche Dubois. You know, of 'A Streetcar Named Desire'? I've recently re-watched the film and it got me thinking.
 
From Wikipedia - "(...) the former Southern belle has a lurid past (a marriage to a young homosexual who committed suicide when she discovered his secret; notorious sexual promiscuity; ongoing alcoholism, etc.) as well as genuine spiritual idealism and refinement."
 
Also her attraction to violent and "wrong" men / abusive relationships, the tragic death of her first love (albeit in very different circumstances), her insecurity and absolute need to be adored by everyone (especially men), and last but not least Blanche's iconic quote "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers", which Lana could be referencing in the Ride monologue as well as in Kinda Outta Luck and Carmen.
 
Carmen in particular sounds like it could have been at least partly inspired by her or a Blanche-like character --- Darling, darling, doesn't have a problem / Lying to herself cause her liquor's top shelf / It's alarming honestly how charming she can be / Fooling everyone, telling how she's having fun (...) Baby's all dressed up, with nowhere to go / That's the little story of the girl you know / Relying on the kindness of strangers / Tying cherry knots, smiling, doing party favours / Put your red dress on, put your lipstick on --- not to mention the little French interlude.
 
At the very least she's maybe a character Lana somewhat relates to / feels inspired by? I don't know, maybe it's too much of a stretch, but what do you guys think?

Off To The Races and Gods & Monsters is what I think of when I hear the title, Ultraviolence. I, really, don't know what to expect of the new album; but it is, damn, exciting. However, all I ask for is that the new record remain orchestral, cinematic, and lush. 

As much as I love Black Beauty and AFFA i still see them as the aftermath of Paradise, so it would be more fitting with a new sound.
There's litteratly no genre she can't do. 
 
I would actually love to hear a more 60's organ rock inspired sound. Something really crazy and psychedelic.

Personally, with the intentions of a stripped-down album, I'd love to see Lana go in a very Indie-esque direction, like Father John Misty's "Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings," or "Nancy from Now On," or Dear Euphoria, or even more surreal undertones like Daughter while maybe incorporating post-rock or even some subtle electric vibes (I do not want an EDM album from Lana for a long time tbh.)

I have a feeling that Lana's starting to identify with herself a little differently as an artist. I'm personally glad that the BTD/Paradise chapter is finally over. ULTRAVIOLENCE sounds like a whole new angle of Lana just from the name. I think that ULTRAVIOLENCE is going to really show the Lana that's a freebird with a newly discovered way of feeling and breathing, all the while undergoing an emotional conflict between confidence and uncertainty, joy and disconsolation, the parting with old love and the welcoming of a new love, the reconciling between memories and moving on.  I think this is going to give a scope on how Lana's been living in the "now" since VG and BTD.

ULTRAVIOLENCE is going to be
