who is cynthia?

She's obviously talking about Cynthia Germanotta

 

 

[Kommando]

I mostly agree with what's said in the Guardian review, except for the way he interprets the lyrics, some people just need to calm the fuck down

 

I also confess that the red dress joke is making me laught tbh 

Anyway I'm glad that Lana's new music is perceived as a positive evolution from her debute, 'cause that's what the girl and the world needed

How the fk can this be called a review and be added to metacritics ? Its written as tabloid news, worse than Wendy Williams show. Even the title: Lana Del Rey: Femme Fatale or Fraud? The wedding singer for Kimye returns with a two-star album, 'Ultraviolence'.         

 

[Blythe]

still laughing about this part of the guardian's review:

 

"It takes 50 seconds of Ultraviolence for the first bad-boy boyfriend to turn up – "you got your gun and you like to party" – and 80 before our old friend the red dress hoves into view."

 

our old friend the red dress

[MrDelRey]

Yeah I've got the iTunes m4a AAC PLUS version (include Is This Happiness + Digital Booklet) !

Awesome

That was a cringe-worthy personal attack disguised as an album review. They didn't even bother discussing the songs.

some critics are embarrassing. can't even do their work right.

you would suppose they would analyze work based on musical content, not go off into irrelevant tangents.

Someone on comment section mentioned its worse than Perez Hilton. Well I agree   How can you take money as music reviewer when you actually dont write anything about the music in reviews ?

Teasing us with that "Living Legend" mention.

No direct thanks to AG.

I'm not a professional reviewer by any means, but if anybody's interested, here's my look on the album: http://bloggingnickster.blogspot.com/2014/06/ultraviolence-lana-del-rey.html

 

(If you don't want to read track-by-track analysis, scroll on down and there's an "overall" outlook on the album.)

I love how its the 13th, the day Ultraviolence comes out, and iTunes hasn't put it up yet. Splended!.

i heard hes pretty cool but not as cool as her

[ilovetati]

Gigwise gives it a 9/10.

[DeadAgainst]

The mastering on the iTunes release definitely seems better than the CD release; there's a bit of headroom and it isn't slamming up against 0dB and clipping everywhere
