Do you think we'll get a "Ultraviolence: 10th Year Anniversary" reissue this year? I have zero hopes considering she didn't do shit for "Born to Die" (her most mainstream album; it would have made more sense).

 

But, this record is also one of her defining moments in her career (next to "NFR!" and more recently "Ocean Blvd)". It's such a milestone in her story. Not aknowledging it would be such a missed opportunity.

 

Maybe she doesn't like deluxe/re-editions anymore. Considering she scrapped the alleged "Lust for Life" post-release EP. Perhaps she didn't think it was necessary to do a 10th year "Born to Die" edition considering it has gotten enough recognition?

 

But can you all imagine, "Ultraviolence" (10th Anniversary Edition). What a concept. The perfect opportunity to finally release "Flipside" and "Is This Happiness" (and scrapped songs on streaming services). Maybe even a brand new cover with a Neil Krug never-seen-before picture, brand new vinyls variants, all the good stuff.

01. Cruel World

02. Ultraviolence

03. Shades of Cool

04. Brooklyn Baby

05. West Coast

16. Flipside [finally released worldwide as a bonus track + streaming services]

 

CD2 (*)

01. Say Yes to Heaven (**)

02. Fine China

03. Your Girl

04. Angels Forever

05. Pink Champagne

06. Dragonslayer

07. Cult Leader

08. Elvis [Rumored final version]

09. Lake Placid

10. Madly

11. Earthquakes [Final version]

12. Driving in Cars With Boys [2014 Version]

13. I Talk to Jesus [Dan Auerbach version]

 

(*) — I threw the bunch of outtakes from that era in no specific order, so pardon the disjointed tracklist. I didn't know if it'd be a good idea to add the bonus songs right after the main album. It looks kind of cluttered, so I thought that maybe a second CD would be better, especially for vinyl releases and stuff. 

 

(**) — I know "Say Yes to Heaven" was released as a stand-along single, but her team considers it part of that era, since the 7" Picture Disc vinyl used a Neil Krug photo from that era + adding "Black Beauty" as a b-side.

 

Conclusion:

Fan fiction and delusional thinking aside, I don't think she'd do anything, I bet it must probably take a lot of work, but considering she most likely won't release an album in 2024, maybe the "Ultraviolence" reissue album wouldn't be a bad idea. At least she could release it as a digital-only edition on streaming services, which is what some of her peers have done for their 10th anniversary re-releases. 

 

we will never get pink champagne because of the cotcc rework...she shouldve released the demo attached to the single or something

this album will always be that girl to me 

I got my UO exclusive vinyl a couple weeks ago and I’m too scared to actually play it yet, she’s gorg

I wonder if she wanted to do b-sides album for UV too since it had many outtakes. We do know that she wanted to do a repackage (before Paradise) for BTD with final Hollywood's Dead right? Boz said something along these lines right?

Do you guys think we’ll get something special for the 10th anniversary? 
I mean I wouldn’t get my hopes up but we got the UO repress last year and the 7” with SYTH and BB (and she put the UV pic on the Festival merch tank top) so a part of me is delulu

Uv couldn’t have arrived at a time very spot on, which was 2014… it just feels right…

[RIP ivory almond]

if we got nothing for BTD 10th, I doubt we'll get any songs for UV 10th

[Ultra Violet]

So I was looking up the release dates of the album, and my memory has fooled me.

I thought the only songs to be heard before the full album release (Jun 13) were West Coast, Shades of Cool and Brooklyn Baby. But apparently the title track was also released a few days before Brooklyn Baby on Jun 4? Does anyone actually remember listening to it before the full album?

I could have sworn to god my first listen of Ultraviolence (song) was right when the album came out, playing it for the first time right after Cruel World.

I was listening to Old Money and the lyrics,

"my father's love, was always strong, my mother's glamor, lives on and on" 

and I know that it's not the same, but I was just thinking about my parentage and kinda really realizing and loving how this lyric fits so well in my own life. 

[Make me your Dream Life]

love that line in Florida Kilos where she sing talks, "you know what I'm talkin bout baby" in her britney inspired voice/ over the phone vocals towards the end of the song
