    'Ultraviolence' is spectacular and brought Lana to a higher level of artistry and lyricism, but not perfect at all. She experiments different musical genres and confirms that she can sing in any genre and still do it perfectly. Ultraviolence still has some few negative points, but it definitely is one of the best works from Del Rey.

I remember listening to this soon after it's release and just being astounded nor only by it's difference from Born to die but how exceptional it was. The foaws that made born to die quirky are gone. Instead this mature contemplation on the agony of love and addiction is an achievement with no technical flaw ?the flaw being it's length. The first half is the higlight with the long heady opener "cruel world" , the weeping depression of "shades of blue",the l.a cool of "west coast "&"Brooklyn baby ". The album has a refined atmosphere of trip pop and blue eyed torch songs as if you combined amy winehouse tone with julie Londons archaic torch songs. Admittedly the album doesn't end well with florida kilos being a clumsy conclusion and **** my way up to the top ","money power glory"&"black beauty " are unnecessary songs that could've been easily removed and made deluxe additions.… Expand

    Uma verdadeira viagem Californiana. Do início ao fim o álbum surpreende com faixas arrebatadoras e lindas, uma verdadeira obra de arte com misturas do rock e o soft. Del Rey sabe muito bem como escrever músicas memoráveis e esse álbum demonstra muito bem a ideia de o quão talentosa ela consegue ser!

    Favorite track: "Brooklyn Baby"
    Least favorite track: "Black Beauty"
    As if Lana Del Rey couldn't get darker - but I mean that as a compliment. While "Born to Die" was full of ironic and even sarcastic lyrics about the relationships and the American dream, "Ultraviolence" ups the ante by being more provocative, more scathing, and more sinister in both lyrics and composition. Drugs, sex,    Favorite track: "Brooklyn Baby"

    As if Lana Del Rey couldn't get darker - but I mean that as a compliment. While "Born to Die" was full of ironic and even sarcastic lyrics about the relationships and the American dream, "Ultraviolence" ups the ante by being more provocative, more scathing, and more sinister in both lyrics and composition. Drugs, sex, and abuse all make appearances on this moody album; it's certainly not for the faint of heart. But even if the more optimistic listeners do give this album a chance, "Ultraviolence" hides a lot of strength behind its sadness. The dirty, grunge rock sound perfectly matches the lyrical content, and Del Rey's voice once again proves that not just any female singer can perform these songs. Deep roaring guitars and mellow pianos haunt most of the tracks, with the drums of "Born to Die" effectively used in the background.    … Expand

    This album is a masterpiece. Del Rey is eclectic when we are talking about critics. “Ultraviolence” is about feeling sexy, emotions, life, toxic relationships and more. The esthetic matchs with the lyrics. It’s possible to see in “west coast” and “shades of cool”.

    One of the crudest and most honest albums in Lana del Rey's career, she explores sounds like pop rock, psychedelic rock, jazz and makes them harmonious in her own way.
    Both at its highest and lowest points you can see a different artist who is not interested in pretending to be more.

    Top Song: Brooklyn Baby

The symphony, the lyrics , the bridges .. it’s too much to handle, too powerful. “Sad Girl” and “Pretty When You Cry” are cute songs with an emotional lyrics not very helpful when you’re already depressed.
    “Money Power Glory” is the official anthem for being a bad **** It gives so much power that you feel at the top of the world. **** My Way Up To The Top” gives the same vibes of money power glory but in a slowly way, more chill more sad.
    “Old Money” is a very dangerous song. It can cause so much depression… the sad vibe of the lyrics and the music is dangerously explosive. “The Other Woman” despite being a cover is such a good song. Even better than the original song, Lana’s voice fits perfectly this song. “Black Beauty” feels like a fever dream. Her voice is angelic and every verse is just .. magical. “Guns & Roses” is the most hated song on the album (because it’s repetitive) but it’s kinda catchy and it’s not boring as everyone says. “Florida Kilos” is one of her best song and perfect for the ned of an album. It’s eventful and makes you want to drive with the wind in your hair on an American street.

    Una buena fusión de un rock psicodélico con las letras melancólicas de Lana, algunos lo confundirían como una oda a la violencia y a los psicotrópicos pero en otros casos es un retrato de la vulnerabilidad, la dependencia emocional y la depresión en solo un album.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Why Lana hits it out of the park on Ultraviolence, the answer is pretty simple: she took a concept and transformed it into a beautiful and precise piece of art. Featuring a killer intro and a stellar tracklist, Ultraviolence is a perfect blend of rock, alternative, indie, and atmospheric pop. It reminds us of the cassette you could see any gothic or sad kids depicted in those lame stereotypical high school flicks listening to all day long. The only thing we could take away from one of Lana's best works is a rather lazy finale from such an outstanding album.… Expand

    8/10 - While it’s true that every track on this album sounds the same, I say that with the utmost good intent. Ultraviolence is beyond brilliant. I can still pick each track out from the others because of the album’s massive replayability, which gave me no choice other than to memorize all the lyrics and know the songs by heart.

    Amazing psychedelic rock and very intense raw sounds . Very mesmerizing melodies . The sounds are so good it’s almost sounds like a religious hymn or cult magic chanting ,but in the best way possible of course . This album just literally takes your soul and leave you feeling empty afterwards. It’s a drug and addiction. The more you listen ,the more u know .

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is my favourite all time album and I just can't find the right words to express how much I love it because it'll never be enough. To put it in some way: Ultraviolence takes you to places only Lana can. And maybe it shouldn't, but it's also a safe space when I feel down, because Lana transmits so well her emotions along that magnetic voice that I end up diving and feeling so deep into the record. The sound and production of every song amazes me, it's just delightful, and the lyrics, my God. She's able to talk of such sensitive topics in a very very vulnerable way, you can understand her position and contrary of what many critics (music critics suck) said, she portraits perfectly being a victim in an abusive relationship, how you feel and why you can't escape. There's a lot a really bad **** but the the highs are so high that keeps you obsessed with that toxic dynamic.

    She's just a genius, and everything she makes is a masterpiece and somehow this is the cuspid of all her works.    … Expand

    This is the album where she explained what she experienced when she was on an abusive relationship. This album of her is so sad that I wouldn't ever let myself get into a relationship like that, It's like I felt all of her pain.

    Isso consegue ser pesado e etéreo ao mesmo tempo. Tudo bruto e sensível so mesmo tempo.

    A 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.

    While 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]

    Underwhelming 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.
