Happy Birthday Ultraviolence

Truly one of the best, boldest and most iconic albums of all time

Gosh the quality of the album is truly insane, so many memories connected to the UV songsI became a fan in spring 2015 and while it was Summertime Sadness that brought me into Lanas music I remember how mind blown I was hearing songs like Sad Girl, Money Power Glory, Shades Of Cool, West Coast, Cruel World, Old Money & Black Beauty and those were like my favorite songs ever at that time along with a couple of BTD - P songs (some of them still are) but damn I think no other music hit me and shooked me like that back then. Truly life changing. Ultraviolence you will always have a special place in my heart and be always one of my favorites, no matter what because that album truly is an one of a kind masterpiece

I'm so happy for everyone who got to experience the entire UV era, I can't imagine how mind-blowing and life changing that must have been 

Happy Ultraviolence anniversary to everyone, we gonna celebrate and stream today and hopefully get some anniversary gift

[racecar 2,138]

Omg, I am feeling so nostalgic and so old... this is the album that introduced me to Lana 10 years ago. A lot of things has happened since the release. Happy birthday bible!

In summer of 2014 i was exclusively playing Call of Duty Black Ops 2 and listening to Dubstep. BUT I SHOULD have been listening to Ultraviolence instead.

[Serena Van Der Woodsen 411]

happy 10th anniversary to Ultraviolence!

i remember listening to Old Money for the first time ever back in 2018, it was such a blessing for my ears.

Old Money was the song that introduced me to Lana’s music.

sometimes i wish i could be older just to experience this album when it came out like some of you, you know, finishing school, being ready for the summer listening to this album.

btw again, happy 10th anniversary to Ultraviolence!!

UV's 10th anniversary is more important to me than BTD's 10th anniversary. UV was the true game-changer. While BTD was an introduction, UV was the one which literally changed the world. My top 3! This album is probably her most unique album ever, it's like an island its own. Every track means the world to me. It's going to be 10 years since her first no.1 album in the US as well! Ultraviolence was the album which paved way for the "sad grunge Tumblr" community with AM, Pure Heroine and The NBHD's I Love You. When I became a full-time fan, Ultraviolence was definitely an album that was really difficult for me to get into but once you get into it you can't escape it because it's a fucking mesmerizing masterpiece! It brought psychedelic rock and blues rock back to life in an era where EDM and maximalistic pop beats dominated the charts then. What I love the most about this album is how jazz music was blended with rock music.

 

Every track is so cinematic, the lyrics tell its own story. West Coast on repeat forever, my favorite song from the album. Everything about this song is so perfect, the lyrics, the production. It's like a whole new dimension. Is This Happiness and Flipside are my another favorites, they're really underrated outside the fandom but they're amazing, the storytelling and the production. It's so addictive to listen to these songs. I NEED THESE SONGS ON SPOTIFY!!! Brooklyn Baby, Shades Of Cool, the title track, Black Beauty...another hits, everything about these are so incredible - these songs also have one of her best vocal performances ever. Cruel World, one of the best intros ever, it was life changing for me when this song started hitting differently. Pretty When You Cry, Old Money, Money Power Glory, Sad Girl, FMWUTT, The Other Woman, Florida Kilos, Guns & Roses (a very underrated song!) - look at those songs, everything about these are perfect as well, from the story to the production. I loved the lyrics in it because it simply described her feelings and emotions how she went through, that's why many people can relate to this album. The production was genius - Lana, Dan Auerbach, Dan Heath, Blake and Rick Nowels were truly a dream team, everything they composed was so unique and new, making timeless songs for eternity. The perfect blend of jazz and rock, the sweet psychedelia, the amazing soaring guitar solos, heartwrenching orchestras, the melancholic drums, every pattern of it was just so spectacular that no one, NO ONE in this world could recreate it. It's like a magic, a lightning in the bottle that can be never recreated again.

 

This album and era made also Neil Krug famous again, can we talk about his photography and art for this era as well? These photographs were truly gorgeous, captured the era's colors and aesthetics perfectly, the album cover - as simple as it looks - it captured the album's complex mood perfectly and it was truly a game-changer for the people in Tumblr. One of her best album covers! And the music videos, these music videos were so stunning, I loved the cinematography so much, Lana was truly beautiful in those videos. Shades Of Cool was phenomenal because it felt like a movie I could watch forever and ever. 

 

It was a hit album and did great in charts and sales then but since the pandemic years it kind of had a new life when Brooklyn Baby, West Coast and The Other Woman went viral in TikTok. While the audiences there can be really annoying, I'm really glad that Ultraviolence became very popular outside the fandom again because I think with this album people finally understood Lana's vision and her range in music. I'll never shut up about this, what a fucking brilliant album, ahead of its time! Happy 10th Anniversary, dear Ultraviolence, I love you forever, love you forever!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIMELESS MASTERPIECE

i’m stronger than all my men, except for you 

[Cherry Blossom 20,832]

10 years of Ultraviolence.

 

I always knew this album was perfect, but only recently have I started to understand it. It’s my favourite Lana record, alongside Ocean Boulevard. It’s an epic from start to finish. I probably own the most copies of this album out of my whole collection. 

 

Outside of the music, its visuals and style has been something highly influential to me. This album has been my gateway into finding a lot of my music taste today. 

My favourite songs are: Cruel World, Shades of Cool, West Coast, Sad Girl, Old Money, Black Beauty. 

 

I shared my body and my mind with you. That’s all over now…

Happy birthday to this incredible album, and one of my all.time favourites

[ComebacktoCalifornia 4,390]

One Of the most incredible albums of all time while imo it isn't her best in terms of songs I think it's her best album overall, best era, best music videos.

[Yosemite 23,767]

Where’s @Pantene123 w their surprises?
