1985, she's 29. general consensus is that the label made her lie by a year when she got famous because she was """""too old"""""" for the music scene; but this is unconfirmed.

kindred in vocal tone and wonderful :
 
fiona apple (akin to when lana sings in a jazzier, lower register):

mazzy star (i feel more in the spirit of lizzy, in her acoustic and phenomena era):

jeff buckley (though obviously he is male, he is one of lana's favorites and his influence, to me, is palpable in its emotional ambience and its intent to reach vocal heights):

tracy bonham (i find a similarity in their voices, especially in lana's lizzy voice - close your eyes!):

For me, its a complete piece of art.  I listen to it on average 4-5 times a week from start to finish, Cruel World to The Other Woman.  I listen actively without distraction.  I think this album is absolutely brilliant and I think she is genius.  This is one of my favorite albums of all time.  I love the emotional story she carries us through from song to song to song.  I love the vulnerability, the dpression, the hope the defiance, the longing, the realization she puts forth.
 
I grew up in a world where vinyl was still the norm.  My first musical exposure was the Beatles and I all I knew was album oriented rock.  Ultraviolence is so cohesive as an art piece.  I can't wait to see her continued evolution.
 
I do listen to the bonus tracks separately.  They are awesome songs, they just don't fit the album. 
 
 
 
 
 
 

We also need the Lana Evil Laughter smiley. Someone's already made a gif (we had it at LDR.FM), but it's kinda like:

between 0:30 and 0:35

Fuck, this is really cool.
