My suspicions were right when I listened to all the pre-released songs; the album is too slow, somber, and psychedelic for me. I prefer her Born to Die/Paradise eras. Maybe I shouldn't have listened to Ultraviolence with the mindset that it could be Born to Die version 2.0? idk. I'm disappointed though.

I loved the album, I had a huge feeling that it was ALL going to be like the pre releases so I cleared all my mind of BTD and just accepted it as a whole new stage in Lana's music totally different

^Same. If I had went into this album hoping to hear Born to Die: Part 2, I would've been disappointed as well. I knew it wouldn't be, though, after listening to the pre-releases, so I accepted that beforehand.

I'm really enjoying it, although I do think it's a downer. Born to Die and Paradise were somber at times, but Ultraviolence is somber all the way through. Not an upbeat track to be found.

I'm loving Ultraviolence. I think the first half of the album is exceptional while the second half has been more of a grower aside from Old Money.. I bought the deluxe version and I was wondering anyone else that bought it, does Flordia Kilos skip on you? There are no scratches on the CD but anytime I import it, it skips at different areas each time, some worse than others. :(

I also bought the deluxe edition, however the track that skips around for me is Flipside, while Florida Kilos is fine... Idk why Lana CDs are always having issues lol. Born to Die: Paradise Edition was missing the bonus tracks on the Born to Die disc -__-;

blackmage 24th June 2014 08:24 PM

^ :( I still have yet to hear Flipside. I REALLY wish that Lana would just make one deluxe version instead of having an extra song on itunes and then another on the target version.

AyumiAi 25th June 2014 05:43 AM

did you guys listen to "Is this happiness" ? Cuz thats literally one of the best tracks on the album for me even if it is just the itunes bonus track

marty 26th June 2014 05:52 PM

I bought my ULTRAVIOLENCE copy yesterday, and I'm listening to it like there's no tomorrow. IT'S GLORIOUS.
West Coast, Brooklyn Baby, Money, Power, Glory, Shades of Cool and Old Money OWN me. And her voice in The Other Woman! Actually, HER VOICE IN EVERY SINGLE TRACK, LIKE, HOLY CRAP!!
My baby Lanabanana did it again.
PS: She MUST come to Italy with her tour again, I need to see her singing these beauties in front of me.

It was the best itunes purchase ever. I love that song.

However, Brooklyn Baby has me coming back all the time. It is so infectious.

Does anyone know if there's a place where I could find fan remixes of Lana's songs? When I do a Soundcloud search I'm lucky to get anything that's actually Song X Remix like I typed in the box, most of the results page is remixes, covers or standard versions of random Lana songs.

I just finished listening to a huge collection of Lana's unreleased songs, so many gems there. Now I'm hoping that Ultraviolence demos leak one day, on many lovely songs they did things to her voice that I dislike.

George 29th July 2014 09:47 AM

... I listened to the album once or twice. I can't remember. I don't know. I'll listen to it later and maybe I'll like it more.

You could try YouTube. Lana Del Rey has a lot of great trap remixes that are fan-made. This is my favorite!

Honestly, I keep hovering over Ultraviolence in iTunes trying to pick a song to listen to; but there isn't anything I want to listen to... So I just listen to Born to Die lol.

blackmage 30th July 2014 08:16 AM

That remix! So so interesting... I have to listen to it a few times to see if I actually like it or not. Don't get me wrong, I like some of the elements.. but it sounds too happy-go-lucky cabaret.

NintendoHTF1242 30th July 2014 08:35 AM

There are tons of trap remixes for Lana out there on YouTube. I adore her voice with trap backdrops. Here's another one of my favorites, maybe you'll like this one better than the West Coast one?

Thanks for the tip! I'm going to start doing different kinds of searches; I see Trap Nation has a remix of Serial Killer, one of my favourite unreleased songs.

Born to Die just doesn't get old, I can still listen to it the whole way through.

Ultraviolence is such a great album. I still need to make myself go to YouTube and search for Is This Happiness? because I haven't heard that one yep. Flipside is really good. One of my favorites (you can listen to it on Spotify if you want). Only song that I really don't appreciate is Guns and Roses which feels a little bit boring to me but otherwise this album is amazing. I really enjoy listening to it. :)

On the third episode of American Horror Story: Freak Show, Jessica Lange did a cover of Gods and Monsters, and I gotta say... It's pretty amazing.


Refix 27th October 2014 09:40 PM

True, although she can't get that sorrow-sexy-orgasmic vibe like Lana does.

NintendoHTF1242 27th October 2014 10:46 PM

Good cover. I feel like Lana Del Rey's music could easily be incorporated into the entire American Horror Story series lol idk why I think that but it just seems like it could work.

I've been listening to Ultraviolence a bit more lately. The title song is one of my favorite tracks. Old Money is still good, as well.

Maemi 31st October 2014 04:46 PM

This is amazing!


Refix 10th November 2014 02:44 PM

Ah I really hoped Lana could win this year EMA. And why did she only get one nomination!? WTH!
