    Lana Del Rey's sophomore album 'Ultraviolence' is her darkest piece of work yet, but that doesn't mean it isn't beautiful.

    This is one of those transcendental experiences you don't often find. The most depressing and melancholic album from Lana, it leaves you with an impression you won't find anything quite like it. While it plays, it creates a void inside your chest: it strips you out of reality only to immediatelly fill you with its slow-born melancholy and her angelic voice.

While it plays, it creates a void inside your chest: it strips you out of reality only to immediatelly fill you with its slow-born melancholy and her angelic voice. When it ends, you don't want listen to any more music at all, for a time. You want all of that to sink in.
    I could create many metaphors, but the fact is that this is maybe not for everyone.
    However, for those who admire this side of Lana, it is undoubtely her best album.    … Expand

    '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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Es un álbum de que muestra el lado oscuro de Lana y que ella sabe como demostrarlo por medio de la música con poemas y citas que ella inventa por cada canción que te pone lo pelos de puntas!… Expand

    A welcomed change towards a darker, slower pace to match Lana’s ethereal voice and controversial lyrical themes.

    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!

    Esta é uma obra prima, com qualidade dramática e de enredo, explorando os nuances da toxicidade de um relacionamento abusivo e da solidão. Algo atemporal

    This 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.

    Lana 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.

    Este album es lo maximo. Tiene por lo menos tres o cuatro canciones que son una joya. Hay que ser muy hijo de puta para calificar el album con 30 o 40.

    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.
