^ it is the official cover, apparently.

The album will be released on June 16th says her official website. Her home page has changed to promote Ultraviolence. You can also pre-order the boxset already for 59,99 euros.

It would be great if she make special box not only with pin up bonuses, also a mug and other collectible item like Ayu does. A mini version of Lana would be too adorable lol

I misread the price because xLuna used a comma instead of a period to separate the numbers so I thought the box set was $599.99 and was like "wat" LOL but damn $60 for all of that? Not bad actually...

EDIT: jk her website says $100 Lana babe I love you but not that much just gonna buy my CD from Target hopefully they'll have some exclusive bonus tracks lol

A bit late but, whatever. I never liked Lana's music, I always thought it was the equivalent of a melatonin ejection. But I love West Coast and I'm excited for her new album very much.

Lana herself seems really nice and I love her sense of style but I can't really get into her music. She is so pretty though and seems good to her fans.

I'm sorry! I only gave information about how much euros it did cost and totally had forgotten about the US pricing.

I pre-ordered the album and the site says it will be send on June 13th. Would be awesome, because that's my birthday.

Anyway, SHADES OF COOL is available for listening!

There is also a low-recorded version of the song ULTRAVIOLENCE from her tour. The song can be heard in better quality in the album teaser. Here is the teaser:

EDIT: Can't really see the video on this forum, so just in case.. i included the links seperately.

You have to do it like [youtube]cG6iJNufFTo[/ youtube] (remove the space between / and youtube) for it to embed correctly Just click on "Share" on YouTube and copy the last part after youtube.com/

Anyway, Shades of Cool is nice. Nothing groundbreaking or anything.

Went to the Vancouver show just this Sunday (May 25th). She was AMAZINGG! Before the show started we could see her peaking through the curtains towards the crowd, she seemed so shy! I've heard some bad reviews about her singing live, but here she sounded flawless and her voice was immensely powerful. Kudos to her, especially considering she just flew in from Paris (or wherever Kimye got married) and landed that day. At the end of the show she even went down to the first row and took pictures and signed autographs and all that, she's such a sweetheart!

Considering it was general admission, the mosh pit was insane, we barely stayed in there for 10 minutes before we left and sat at the bleachers. And of course there were the drunk girls with their flower crowns pushing through to "reach their friend at the front". It was lightly raining too and pretty cold, all my videos of her performances r so shaky! But overall it was an amazing experience and I suggest if anyone goes to her upcoming ones, I recommend to just sit and get decent seats instead of aiming for the mosh pit (unless u get to the front haha).

Thank you for sharing your experience. You must have had an amazing time.

The album is really psychedelic so far with all the songs she's officially given us... idk if I'm liking it or not.

^I agree this album is very blues inspired, but Lana is an artist and just experimenting with different influences i think has its merits and through her experimenting she'll maybe make something really cool! If she keeps to her Born to Die era she'll never evolve as an artist X)

Oh, Ultraviolence sounds better than West Coast and Shades of Cool in my ears♥

Damn, I'm not sure if I should get the deluxe box or not. Do we know what's included in it? It all depends on that. :3 Never mind, I figured it out. Nothing that really interests me so I'll just get the Deluxe Edition of CD Only version.

There's nothing wrong with an artist experimenting with their music. I actually like it when an artist grows. It's just that this style of music isn't for me. I'll definitely still end up buying the album and giving these past few songs another try. Maybe they just haven't "clicked" with me yet.

US album sales: #37 @LanaDelRey, Born To Die 6,000 (1,057,000 total).

I do hope Ultraviolence will sell as good as Born To Die on the long run =)

I'm curious to know what the next promotional single will be. These songs sound great, but not radio friendly. Or at least not Top 20 stuff. I suppose she doesn't really need to go in that direction though haha.

I don't think it will tbh, Born to die had a decent debut because she got a lot of media coverage for Video Games, which is what made her popular, and then Summer Time saddness gave her album more longevity, i find. Where as Ultraviolence doesn't really have any "viral" or "hit" song preceding it, but if a song on it does become popular then yea it could sell well.
