Jul 15, 2014It's an album that does not have a very wide variety different songs. But lyrically is wonderful and rich.
Lana could do something to the previous level, but with more mastery. It's a beautiful album and will undoubtedly still far, wait a Grammy nomination, and it deserves a lot. All involved are to be congratulated. -

Jun 17, 2014this album is a true trash without some, the concept does not exist content, is a typical album to lay musical matter, if we ask what the true identity of the album will not know the answer, it proves that the album has nothing to impress. More garbage thrown in the music industry.
-
Jun 17, 2014Lana wants to be heavy and deeper than she is... Her voice is good and she has some moments here and there, but this album feels rushed and just kinda there. All the songs sound the same (and there are no songs like Born To Die - Summertime Sadness / Blue Jeans) I was hoping for more. Don't recommend the album.

Jun 17, 2014Lana's new album proved she's alternative music's queen. Her collaboration with Auerbach is just comparable to Adele's collaboration with Epworth. Pure magic. This only shows Del Rey will be around us for a long time, and will be remembered as one of the greatest talents of the century.
-
Jun 17, 2014Ultraviolence is like a rare work of art that everyone should have at home. Never once something seemed so poetic and touching. Lana shows us what some already knew a few years she came to stay.

Jun 18, 2014Amazing album! reminds me of Lizzy Grant. It's really quiet and not loud, it's just a masterpiece! I think this would be my favourite Lana Del Rey album. Album of the year!

Jul 25, 2014I'm hoping this will become a grower as BTD is still one of my favourite albums. I do miss the hip hop beats but understand she wanted to explore a different hence the collaborations on this album. Unfortunately her new direction has not resonated with me as yet. Not as good as BTD I'm afraid.
-
Jun 17, 2014Ultraviolence proves that without her fauxchestra and bombastic hip hop beats, Lana Del Rey is a one trick pony. Most songs are drone-like retreads of past material, low on hooks and high on bad lyrical content. LDR was better off as a flawed but unique pop starlet. This is a laughable desperate grab at credibility.
-
Jun 18, 2014Well... I really loved Born To Die style, but this is more in my comfort zone, so deep and sad, dark, guitars and drums... I really really adore every track. For me is PERFECT!

Jun 17, 2014The songs are very similar, and all have an air of sleep. She needs to do more happy songs, this album may depress others. The songs are cloying and all that was written seem lazy. I do not think she has a vocal power, she does not leave her calm and boring style.
-
Jun 18, 2014Não superou Born To Die, mas é um ótimo álbum. Acho que ele não deveria ter usado tanto efeito na voz. Mas ela mostrou nesse álbum que ela é uma verdadeira representante do Indie Music.

Jun 23, 2014A well crafted affair that seems like if it was made in another era. Lana del Rey keeps her way into make the industry and mainstream public believe that there´s more possibility for music if we look at the past rather than the future.

Jun 25, 2014Amazing album. My favorites songs are 'Sad Girl', 'Old Money', 'Money Power Glory' and ****** My Way Up To The Top. Lana is amazing. I can't believe that some reviews are a **** I love the album, The album of 2014. But I still wait Adele's new album.

Jun 27, 2014Really this is just bad. And dull. I first heard West Coast on the radio, and almost kinda thought it started out kind of cool. But then it spun off into disconnected styles and nonsense. When I heard the full album, it just got worse from there. She's done.
-
Jun 17, 2014I like it. This album is moody and has clear identity, we know this is Lana! Altough it lacks obvious hits and might be forgotten soon. I think this is a best release from artistic view. Less hype, less industry influence.

Jun 17, 2014Oh she is so mysterious and beautiful! I like this so much because it is not as boring as Born To Die. It has more focus and she doesn't just mumble on this album. It is well produced and beautiful.

Sep 1, 2015A dark and cinematic masterpiece. This is truly Lana's best album with standout tracks like Shades of Cool, Brooklyn Baby, West Coast, Florida Kilos, etc. I highly recommend a listen if you're into songs with substance that give off an indie rock 70's vibe.
-
Aug 19, 2015Uno de sus mejores trabajos hasta ahora, ese Dream Pop Alternativo acompañado de las guitarras pesadas es lo que hace a Ultraviolence el trabajo con la mayor influencia de la música Alternativa de Del Rey, cada canción tiene ese toque de Rock Alterno que te embriaga y te hace pedir más; Lana destaca también sus influencias del Jazz y el estilo Gangsta.
-
Jan 27, 2017The greatest success and challenge of the young Lana del Rey. Demonstrating that an artist can be multifaceted while preserving her quality over the years.
-
Sep 1, 2019the queen of music proving once again who she truly is. old money and brooklyn baby my favorites !

May 15, 2018An absolute masterpiece. This is Lana del Rey's best album yet by far. If you like music, this album is for you, especially the song "Cruel World", aka the best song on the album.
-
Jan 8, 2019This album shows her growing as an artist, but she still needs to make a more cohesive project to reach real superstar level in the history of pop-music.
-

-
Sep 9, 2019Lana has stepped her game up with this album. Adding a blues rock feel to her otherwise poppy synth style is the perfect blend. There are still problems with her identity but a huge step in the right direction.
-
Aug 27, 2018Though Ultraviolence seems to about a character condoning the abusive nature of her relationships because her men are complex, it is probably the best produced and written record of Del Rey's career. Her truck-stop Lolita character is starting to grow up. Download: Ultraviolence, West Coast, Cruel World, Shades of Cool.
-
Sep 23, 2015De longe um dos melhores álbuns que eu já ouvi. Mostra uma evolução muito grande da Lana Del Rey em relação ao seu disco anterior. Aqui ela finalmente se encontrou e mostrou a que veio

Nov 24, 2018Ultraviolence is THAT album. Definitely her best work yet, deserved waaaay more recognition. Old Money is a masterpiece, one of the few songs that can make me cry! But my favorite song of the album is the title track, just the instrumental is enough...
@AA2 sis, spill the tea! Another great album by M. -
Oct 11, 2015Pensei que nada pudesse superar o BTD, mas taí que o Ultra veio e me deixou no chão. O sentimento dese album te leva pro céu e pro inferno numa mesma jornada, arrasou, Diva! Merecia um 80, ao menos.
-
Sep 10, 2015This album is sooooo dark and amazing. Couldn't been better. This is Lana at her best, as good as Born To Die and Paradie.
It definitly is...
........ -
Sep 7, 2015For some reason, I feel like this is Lana's weakest effort. Don't get me wrong, there are some really good songs on this album, but as a whole, I found myself bored and despite her "new" sound, found Ultraviolence a disappointment.
-
Nov 21, 2015It's a step forward, so much better than Born to Die. Ultraviolence has a dark atmosphere, where her soft voice contrasts with the rough instrumentals. The best tracks are "Ultraviolence" and "The Other Woman", I definitely loved these. In fact, all tracks are pretty good, except for "Pretty When You Cry" and **** My Way Up to the Top", which I really don't like.
-
Sep 13, 2015I really love Lana and this album made me love her more than before. This is way better than BTD and there isn't a song I don't like. Well done Lana! :)

Mar 19, 2021loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee this albummmmmmmmmmm so cooooooool
love it so much!!!! -
Sep 18, 2015O melhor álbum de 2014. Como sempre, muito bem esperado de Lana Del Rey. Cada música, juntamente com suas letras, chega a arrepiar. Ela é única, e merece todo o amor, e sucesso do mundo.
-
Sep 18, 2015this album is a true masterpiece, a big improvement since Born To Die, so proud of lana. "cruel world" "brooklyn baby" "florida kilos" and "old money" are truely amazing

Oct 16, 2015É otimo esse album, som da guitarra e voz de Del Rey combinam perfeitamente. Eu gosto muito desse album, é sem duvidas um dos melhores de 2014, musicas e encarte do album perfeitas
-
Oct 28, 2015She knows what She wants, Lana look for it, chase for it and make it happen. Ultraviolence is the top of Lanas maturity, vocal and musically. Also, I believe She decided to explore her dark sides for this album. For many people, this is the most boring album Lana have done; To me, it is a real deep and exquisite work of art.

Jan 26, 2018I'm not so sure why metascore of this album is only 74 , for me this or Lust For Life is the best Lana's album to date. Love the lyrics, the darkness of the album. Favorite tracks: Brooklyn Baby | Least favorite: The Other Women (it just didn't fit the album atmosphere it should have been on Honeymoon I think)
-
Jun 16, 2017Ultraviolence shines as an album with more maturity than its 2 predecessors. But still, shows an artist that has a lot to grow. Ultraviolence works more efficietly as a contrast to her debut Born to Die than a follow up. Anyway, here is where we see Lana - actually, Lizzy Grant - in her most confortable and sincere record yet.
-
Jan 23, 2021Anyone who craves for dark dramatism will certainly love this. Ultraviolence risks likeability to be truly compromised and it pays off. It's a masterpiece.
-
Jun 10, 2016Um álbum minimalista. O que mais atrai em todo álbum é como ele soa. A forma minimalista e a produção com guitarras e baterias casa perfeitamente com a proposta do Ultraviolence. Lana sempre acerta em suas letras, porém o que chama a atenção são todos os arranjos perfeitamente elaborados.

Jul 25, 2017Just SO PERFECT. ultra violence changed my life literally. Timeless piece. greatest record, deserved grammies. I don't see why people show hate to this album, it deserves more acclaim!
-
Jun 22, 2017This work of art defines what is melancholy and happiness, taking us to a place where happiness is unattainable
Ultraviolence and makes me remember the great happiness that all we have ever had in life shows us that every day should be happy -

Aug 30, 2019God bless Lana after this album, NFR's mother&father. love-it, love-it, looooove-it
-
Jul 21, 2017Such an amazing album it is. I love how she creates such artistic songs in the album. This album is definitely 10-worthy. I love it so much. Totally would recommend it.
-
Sep 2, 2019esse album é um dos albuns mais perfeitos da Lana, com influencias rock o que torna ele mais sombrio e interessante, pura arte.
-
Jul 21, 2017Bu albüm gelsin ağzıma sıçsın yani daha nasıl bu kadar mükemmel albüm yapılır bilemiyorum mükemmel ötesi ztn Yüce Ultraviolence diyorum hep. BROOKLYN BABY ve OLD MONEY ilahi olabilir mi ? THIS IS NOT ALBUM OF THE YEAR
THIS IS ALBUM OF THE LIFE -
Jul 21, 2017Such a heartbroken record. But surely inbetween of one of her most dark and best. It's such a lyrical masterpice and the songs themselves too. It's a ride, that no one should miss.
-
Jul 21, 2017melancolic and perfect
i love her so much, brig me dark vibes, iconic and legendary, the queen of alternative, lana del rey you go girl luv u xoxo ((: -
Jul 24, 2017Ultraviolence is a very interesting evolution. The roots inspirations are mixed with pop music and rock music. It's greatly produced, really grainy and sometimes almost lo-fi, a real sensual pleasure. The only point I don't like is that some songs don't fit the rest of the album, like Old Money for example, it's a very charming song, but its production is way cleaner than the rest of the record.
-
Jul 24, 2017Everything that was negative in 'Born To Die', Lana Del Rey turned into brilliant in the new work. Sinking in a desert rock tone with melancholic vocals, 'Ultraviolence' is the best material of 2014, possibly the best of the decade.
-
Sep 28, 2019Esta é uma obra prima, com qualidade dramática e de enredo, explorando os nuances da toxicidade de um relacionamento abusivo e da solidão. Algo atemporal
-
Jul 25, 2017Tiene muchas cosas buenas, pero equipara muchas malas. Mientras hay tracks hermosos como 'Old Money' y 'Ultraviolence' y el incluido en el deluxe 'Florida Kilos' y es un álbum cohesivo, suave y estético, muchas canciones son demasiado similares o con el mismo gusto dramático de Lana.
-
Jul 25, 2017Best album I have ever listened to. It defines my life. There is something for everyone and it will not disappoint at all. Lana is queen for dark yet airy lyrics and amazing instruments.
-
Aug 30, 2019Very magical record!!! Of course, it’s very important part of Lana’s discography and her life !!! Very sad, poetry and mysterious album
-
Aug 6, 2017Instrumentals of this albums are soo good that they can be released as an album. also acapellas are soo good. this album is the best album which was released so far. i hope she will put out another record like this.

-
Aug 31, 2019It is a masterpiece of decade. This album described a dark world that would exist inside every person's heart. Once you are hit by the magic, you will be addicted to this.
-
Nov 15, 2017ultraviolence, como eu posso começar a descrever o ultraviolence? esse album deveria ser sinônimo de um album perfeito, pra quando alguem lançar um álbum topperson a pessoa falar ¨meu deus esse album é tão ultraviolence¨. essa obra de arte simplesmente inventou a guitarra, tem faixas perfeitas LANA O MUNDO TE ACLAMA. 1111111 money power glory musica do milenio quem concorda respira.
-
Mar 20, 2018The guitars on Ultraviolence fit so well. Cruel World is an amazing opening track. Lana's voice is real and emotional. Though the best track without a doubt would be Shades of Cool - one of the best tracks I have probably heard in my life. The instrumental, the vocals, omg.
-
Dec 21, 2017best album of all time, mom delivered, theres not a song i don't like, loved it!!1
-
Sep 24, 2019This is still Lana's magnum opus to me, 3 albums later. Not only is recording live rare nowadays, but Lana has just this vibe and persona in this album that makes you feel like you're actually the fictional woman whose eyes we see through.
-
Jan 12, 2018This album is incredible and timeless. Unlike everything that Lana Del Rey has done, she explores her vocals very well throughout the album, and her instrumental pieces are very well produced, highlighting sounds of guitars and drums. This is THE TRUE MILLENNIUM ALBUM!
-
Jan 25, 2018lana has done this album with great care so the album is really amazing with very quiet songs that if you are stressed and listen to it will help you to relax the sounds and rhythms are typical of it to my appear are good
-
Mar 8, 2018Her best album in my opinion. Really shows off her talent with her amazing vocals after hearing born to die I didn’t think any Lana project could beat it till I heard this masterpiece. Even after hearing honeymoon and lust for life, nothing can live up to this masterpiece of an album ultraviolence. Thank you Lana
-
Mar 17, 2018this record had completely a different vibe but overwall i loved it with all my heart!bravooo!

Awards & Rankings
-
Sep 9, 2014A shake up in the lyric department would be nice to see next time around, but on this outing Lana Del Rey is able to sell it with striking vocal performances and breathtaking compositions.
-
MojoAug 20, 2014While her David Lynch qualities remain, there's also something of the masochistic Lars Von Trier heroine in the resigned drowse of these songs. [Sep 2014, p.92]
-
Aug 4, 2014Underwhelming ending aside, it’s fair to say that Del Rey (and her collaborators) have more than risen to the challenge of keeping her a part of the pop culture conversation, for all the right reasons.
