    '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

    Pure art, an album that almost takes you out of yourself.
    The guitar riffs, the vocals, the production. Absolutely her best album

    O meu preferido de todos os álbuns dela, mas o Norman Funcking Rockwell! é de fato o melhor da sua carreira até agora.

    This is my all time favorite album. Every song is raw and a masterpiece. It makes me feel like my life is falling apart and at the same time like my life is coming together.

    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.

    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!

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

    ¿Quién ha dicho que lo triste no puede ser lo más hermoso del mundo? Un álbum sombrío, que habla de desamor, amorios violentos, etc, pero que conlleva una gran lírica y melodia implícita...

    Es algo sublime

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

    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.
