Ultraviolence - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

[yayoop 4,612]

Ultraviolence is such a beautiful album, it leaked when I was alone in NY on the subway to ConeyIsland (I swear to god it was a moment of pure universal synchronicity) and it sent me into such a depressed spiral I ended up sitting in my hotel room alone listening to PWYC on repeat. I don't even care how depressed I was because it was such a weirdly beautiful experience and then when FLIPSIDE came out it truly killed me.. That guitar and the soft heartbreaking vocals was so powerful it had me crying for days

I love this album but I feel like this is her most “frontloaded” album where quality really falls off in the second half

 

tracks 1-5 (the title track less so, but it sets the tone nicely) are just absolutely killer, sad girl is good but a slight step down and PWYC is good but I’ve never loved it like the rest of the fan base did. 
 

MPG, FMWUTTT, TOW and Old money just can’t compare to the beginning. Anytime I try to listen to UV all the way through anymore I stop at PWYC always because I just don’t  like any of those last songs anymore  they aren’t bad but I feel like there’s better versions of all of them in her discography at this point which makes them kinda non essential

i kind of agree, although i love Old Money and The Other Woman

but the album truly does dip in quality w/ FMWUTTT and MPG. i dont remember the last time i listened to either of those 2 songs

I like TOW more than I like old money. It always felt like a great gatsby/Y&B demo or something to me. Didn’t fit the record imo, but it’s a pretty song for sure. 
 

I know people like to shit on FMWUTTT but I actually think MPG is the least fitting and worst on this album. It just reeks of BTD that they put a guitar solo over and muffled the beats a little bit to make it sound grungy. 
 

and the chorus gets sooo tiring

Still such a FRESH album. Absolutely TIMELESS

[13beachess 7,620]

Do you gusy think that Flipside or/and Is This Happiness (I would DIE for Your Girl too but that 100% never happening I guess) EVER will be released on spotify? I NEED those songs released SO FUCKING BAD. They're my forever favourites

Idk but they could... wasn’t ITH an iTunes exclusive? So it was Burning Desire and they uploaded it, eventually! We can only hope!

What an album  

For me the production in this is a masterpiece to say the least 

[AntiToxicPill 2,152]

Her best work , it's a shame she got away from that style . I truly believe there are more soundscapes and stories to explore in the ultraviolence universe .

I truly believe that as well  

Dan and Rick  together are unmatchable . 

I am really curious why she didn't work with Dan after this again

( as a Black keys fan I am a little biased )

I think it’s pretty good! Since she put it in the album trailer I definitely see it getting it’s own video!!!

One of my fav youtubers reacted to this album recently and i just thought i'd put it here. Its always a treat when someone gets to hear this absolute relic for the first time.
