Guns and Roses

[Vanilla Icy]

i'm not a fan of it sonically but i think it's actually one of the best written songs on the album, on the verses at least. 

[Coney Island King]

It’s basic but i admit, i get it stuck in my head.

[x VB]

Never understood the hate for that song, the instrumental is pretty good and the production on the vocals too (the outro is amazing). The chorus is repetitive but it’s just like PYWC or Sad Girl’s so idg why y’all hate it so much

[Flowerbomb]

It's very lacklustre. I can appreciate toned down songs but this one just sounds like a mindless filler. I will admit, the verses are cute but not enough to consider it a 'good' song. Of course this is subjective, so my opinion isn't everyone else's.

 

I think some of my bitterness towards the song comes from the fact that Lana really chose it over Your Girl and Yes to Heaven (both of which are far more superior to G&N)

i don't understand why people hate it so much, maybe because it's just very slow and mellow? that's what i love about it, i know some people have pointed out that the chorus is very repetitive which i understand, but it's not like other songs off of ultraviolence don't have the same repetition (ultraviolence, sad girl, black beauty)

 

Simply It just comes off as a very weak and mediocre song altogether, it doesn't do much for me, I don't feel like it adds absolutely anything to UV as an album. 

 

It SCREAMS filler and the fact that she had amazing songs like Flipside, ITH? or the other leaked outtakes on the table... And she chose this track. 

 

It has a cute production though, I'll give her that, but UV shines production wise so I'll give her props for doing the bare minimum. 

 

[Fingertips]

No. It is insufferable to listen to past the first verse and chorus.

Sure they have repetive choruses, but we can't deny the absolutely outstanding production that Sad Girl has, the verses are great as well. Same with PWYC. And THAT vocal delivery! 

 

I'm sorry, they might not be career highlights like West Coast or Shades Of Cool, but they're far from being considered universally bottom of the barrel stuff. 

 

The girl put some effort on those two tracks and it shows! 

 

[Liz Taylor Blues]

Obviously....

Sad Girl is my last favorite on the record, the production is messy 

[cashcomesquick]

Depends on my mood. Sometimes it’s very nice, sometimes unbearable

[pin up galore]

this songs is such a vibe the desert rock instrumental with lana hazily singing about her heavy metal man and going to Detroit n shit I love it  plus the verses and bridge are a little piece of heaven I feel like if the song went verse 1 verse 2 chorus bridge chorus it would be much better tho 

[fvck]

honestly how does anyone dislike ANY song on ultraviolence? get ya head checked.

That's a messy opinion I'll give you that 

 

Joking, but actually I'm not a Sad Girl stan, I actually consider it the first "good" track from UV, I do feel the downgrade a little after the first six AMAZING tracks, so I do recognize both its strengths and weaknesses

[suicideblonde]

Yes  obviously duh. 

[That Venice Bitch]

I think a valid criticism of the song is how droning and basic the melody of the chorus is. And the agonizingly long the outro is without much differentiation in vocals or instrumental. The verses are beautiful and the bridge... fucking exquisite. It's interesting how collectively people love or hate a song, but it's hard to conceptualize why that is.

This is also why I "dislike" the song Lust For Life

i love guns n roses what. 

[CoochieSwirlC]

No.

 

Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise 

[Trash Magic]

Yes it is smh

[rightofjupiter]

YES this song is SO GOOD, all that airy space in the song coupled with those slow rhythmic drums and dreamy guitars- perfection. This song gets way too much hate, it is top tier Lana for me, all atmosphere and languid tension.

I know, I always feel like I'm the only one that LOVES the final Lust for Life track, I know it's not her best I just feel like it's a great pop track
