Lana Del Rey - Ultraviolence (Review)

The new album by the amazing indie singer Lana Del Rey leaked the other day. I listened to it thinking I wouldn't like any song, because I hated the first two tracks I heard, and I still think that her previous album Born To Die will be so hard to beat. But here's my review.

Cruel World: It sounds good, but the track itself is 6:40 mins so It's so difficult to listen to it. However, it would be brilliant if it was 3 mins and I like her voice here. 6/10

Ultraviolence: People don't like this song because of the ''He hit me and it felt like a kiss'' line, but it's not talking about girls that like when boys hit them. Instead, it's about being addict to something bad, because some girls still think they love a boy even if he hurts them. The song itself is really good. 9/10

Shades Of Cool: I hated this song, and I still think it's boring. But it grew SO MUCH on me. I love her voice in the chorus, but at the same time it's a really typical Lana song. 7/10

Brooklyn Baby: Catchy song. It's beautiful and I love when she sings ''I've got feathers in my hair''. But at the same time it's too long (5:52). 7/10

West Coast: I kinda liked it at first, now I just find it an average but good track. 7/10

Sad Girl: This will probably grow on me, but until now I find it so boring. Five points for the chorus. 5/10

Pretty When You Cry: What is this? I'm not really into it. 4/10

Money Power Glory: I expected a similar song to the ones in BTD because of the title. I like it but it's a bit pretentious. 7/10

Fucked My Way Up To The Top: Some Lana songs really sound the same, but it's something that I don't dislike, because she's got her own style. This song was good, but it follows what I said. By the way, people say that this is a Lorde diss... I really hope Lana is not dissing a 17 years old girl. 8/10

Old Money: One of the fan-favourite tracks. But for me it's a meh. 5/10

The Other Woman: Another disappointment. All the songs will probably grow on me, but at the first time listening I'm not really feeling this one. 4/10

Black Beauty: Beautiful track. Nothing more to say. 6/10

Guns And Roses: It has got good things and bad things. It just needs to grow on me. 5/10

Florida Kilos: I will probably end up liking all the songs in Ultraviolence because that happened to me in Born To Die, but now I don't care if there are bad songs, because I LOVE Florida Kilos. Seriously, one of my favourite Lana songs. First time listening blew my mind. This totally compesates all the things I don't like about the new album. 10/10

Well, I already said many times that the album needs to grow on me, but this is what first time listening felt like. I would give it a 6 or a 7 out of 10 right now. Not recommendable to everyone, but it has got some amazing songs.
