Please don't be put off by some of the negative stuff levelled at this because it wasn't "more of the same" as some fans were expecting; "Ultraviolence" stands well on it`s own merits and is a truly rewarding, intelligent and thoughtfully inventive album - just listen, it`ll hook you.

Credit subject to status, UK residents only, Juno Media Limited acts as a broker and offers finance from PayPal credit. as much as I love the cover art, I have to admit this is probably one of the most overhyped Lana releases ever.

But it isn't exactly an unalloyed pleasure, and I have some sympathy for those who preferred Born To Die (although the Paradise recordings were really the peak of her work to date). But the very fact that she was materially blessed but is clearly maladjusted is what makes her such a vital and original artist.

Ive played my old one way too much since i got it as my first lana vinyl so will be moving on to the repress for sound! Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse. After her breakthrough Born To Die, Lana Del Rey honed her hazy noir sound and added depth and personality to her wayward character.

Listen to the use of bowed acoustic bass on "Brooklyn Baby" for example, or the subtle deployment of the mellotron and synthesizer throughout the album - it isn`t just the beautiful guitar work that makes these such exquisite settings for Del Rey`s voice.

I used to have it in my collection but eventually got rid of it early in this year because this press sounds absolutely terrible. Reissued in 2023, no longer as an Urban Outfitter exclusive, and with a different catalog number, 00602537864843.Surprised people haven't reacted to the lyric of the title track, and it's somewhat reprehensible promotion of domestic violence as something glamorous and desirable. As an avid vinyl collector since the early 2000s, I have my fair share of vinyl by LDR in my collection. The deluxe album has three extra songs that are certainly worth getting - "Florida Kilos" is a stonker of a track which suggests even greater possibilities for future exploration. Some have criticised her vocal performance on the cover version, The Other Woman, and admittedly when I first heard it, I thought it was over the top and a bit ridiculous, but my view has changed since then, so much so that I can't help thinking that she should do an album of cover versions next.

On the plus side there's the exquisite Shades of Blue, where Lana again channels her inner Liz Fraser (see also, Bel Air from Paradise). As first I was a little bit disappointed since this is not a gatefold, but I’ve grown to appreciate it more this way: I’d rather have a standard vinyl than a pointless and underwhelming gatefold like Norman Fucking Rockwell! The easiest way to differentiate between the 2014 and the 2023 editions is by looking at the spine, as the covers are very similar. If you have the standard album, the last track "The Other Woman" serves as a neat, ironic foil to the cynical voraciousness of preceding tracks like "Sad Girl", "Money, Power, Glory"and the outrageously provocative "F****d My Way Up to the Top". I understand her need to be provocative, and I'm devoted to the woman, but she certainly went too far with this one, although one could to point to a scene from Blue Velvet as perhaps inspiration for this piece.West Coast is spoiled to a degree by the tempo of the drums being too slow on the chorus; I keep wishing I had a device that could speed the damn thing up. It's also worth stating that you won't lose anything by downloading the album, as there are no lyrics or supplementary material contained in the CD packaging. In conclusion, Lana is still one of the most remarkable women on the planet, but she's no longer pretending to be a hit-maker.
