*VIDEO SPOILERS* so if you care about that, read after you watch the video!
Okay, I’m still not even happy with the “update” that a filmed re: this album yesterday. I’ve continued to listen to the album and it’s growing more and more with every listen. I’m starting to differentiate the songs a bit more and my appreciation for the production has even increased. I think the struggle with this album comes from how complex it really is. Trying to digest it after one, two, three listens is nearly impossible. It’s so heavy, so dark, so deep, making it difficult to grasp. But again, as I continue to listen, the more I grow to love it. I believe as a full record, I am still going to say I prefer Born to Die but I could see that changing any day in the near future. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the video and I’m very much looking forward to Honeymoon.

The first time I listened to UV, I really did not care for it. It was hard for me to tell the songs apart. Years later I listened to it and I love it.
Ikr? Every lana's discography is so beautiful and so underrated, and every single is beautiful, dark, emotional, etc. Lana is such a *Queen Mother*. Love u and stay safe. Take your time to upload your new video and i'll wait. Love u and stay safe.💛💜💙
Love ur reaction! Anyway before lust for life (2017) there's honeymoon (2015) first, so i hope you react to that and got to warn you honeymoon is really slow and kind of album that really take time to grow on you but the bridge in every song in it is to die for!!
the first time i listened to UV i had the same reaction as you did. but the more i listen to it, the more i understand how beautiful and complex it is. so yeahhh i totally understand what you feel :)
Tho I love all of her albums but UV is so special to me.. But u reallyyy need to get it together cuz there's more yet to come such Cinnamon Girl and Salvatore and Cherry, lol ik it's random but I can't wait to see u reacting to those
I'm literally so jealous of people experiencing lana for the first time.
I've listened to born to die, paradise and ultraviolence, my fave was btd
I didnt listen to ultraviolence and lust for life yet, just a few songs out of this album cause the first time you listen to a song is different in your third listen
It kinda gets me angry I stg I wish I forgot about all her discography
I want to feel that feeling again
Ugh me to i wish I can re-experience it all.
y'alllll i just misspokeeeeee. obvi we doing honeymoon next!
caitlin marie reacts yaaayyyyy. Okay 👌 truly a cinematic heaven is waiting for you. 💖
(but i do appreciate you looking out for meeeee)
@@caitlinmariereacts omg how are you after listening to this album ?
Girl you gonna cry
ultraviolence and honeymoon are her saddest albums omg
‘She sings a lot about money’
Me: MONEY IS THE REASON WE EXIST, EVERYBODY KNOWS IT IS A FACT KISS KISS
i'm your national anthem
YEEEESSSSS!!!!!

Cinematic pop/hip hop also singer/songwriter goddess 👑
@@sacredsunflower8930 this album is even rock wdym!
Old Money is definitely the ultimate breakdown song.
totally. if nothing from UV happened to get you, Old Money would do.
Old Money is literally depression in a song
Evander Solís nah, it’s nostalgic to me at least, not sad
It makes me ugly cry
Every time I listen to it I think of the great Gatsby ❤️ goes so perfectly
when she paused before the west coast chorus ☠️ girllllll that is an illegal move!
I screamed!
literally
I know!!!!! I was like “nooooooooooo!!!!!!”
i was like don’t pause it don’t pause it *pauses it* nooooooo
I thought that I was the only one
*Brooklyn Baby starts playing*
Caitlin: this sounds less depressing
Lana: hold my cigarette
Lol
Kkkkklllkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkklllllkkkkkk
Yes. I’ve cried to Brooklyn baby so much
pretty when you cry - even more depressive version :( ua-cam.com/video/odKWipz8Prc/v-deo.html
Compared to other songs in general it's a depressing song. Compared to other songs on the album though it's one of the least depressing ones in my opinion.
Brooklyn Baby was actually supposed to be a collab with Lou Reed (she mentions him in the chorus) but unfortunately he passed away in the morning they were supposed to meet to discuss the song.
Wait really, I'm new to the lana fandom, damn, that's crazy
Yes it’s real she went to New York to meet him 2min later he did an overdose
In case truth matters to anybody, Lou didn't overdose. He died after being ill for quite a while. That's also the reason I doubt Lana's story, as he wasn't likely to be working that close to the end, but maybe she misunderstood the situation.
@@musicshowboy it is really sad. Lou is one of Lana's greatest inspirations. he was meant to sing the bridge with her (he was really sick at the time [hepatic decease]). here's the interview where she mentions the situation:
"I took the red eye, touched down at 7am … and two minutes later he died,"
www.theguardian.com/music/2014/jun/12/lana-del-rey-ultraviolence-album
😱
Money Power Glory and Fucked My Way Up to the Top are both sarcastic. She’s taking critic’s perceptions of her and basically making a dark joke about it, like “oh yeah, I’m totally here to just ruin everything, course I am. That’s what I’m about.” She gets crucified all the time by people who don’t understand her music.
She also said one time that although she has slept with a lot of people in the industry, they are not the reason she is successful or has “gotten to the top”
Channing Kehoe Exactly!! I don’t really see what her sex life has anything to do with the critics anyway, she can sleep with whoever she wants. It doesn’t make her any less talented or any less of an artist!! x
The way you spilled
Like Taylor and blank space
its the same idea of blank space by taylor swift. except when taylor did it people got the joke but when lana did it they just used it against her. fuck the media
she ain't ready for "the blackest day" of HONEYMOON
😭😭😭😭😭
No she ain't fo sho
THAT SONG MAKES ME CRY SO MUCH 😭
Best Honeymoon song and imho best Lana song after Gods & Monsters.
pretty when you cry - even more depressive version :( ua-cam.com/video/odKWipz8Prc/v-deo.html
Fun fact: pretty when you cry was freestyled
and the album was recorded in one take.
What
Asgore yes
WHAT
sean diaz’s left eye she recorded it in one take with her guitarist Blake. He played the guitar and she just sang on it without having any lyrics beforehand. She never went back to make it better or change the melodies either. 🖤
UV is an experience. By the time you’ve got used to it you will either become a drug addict or a smoker or an alcoholic or hurt to death or you can become mature and wise and will learn from your experience. Either way you’ll always love UV.
I wish u were lying about becoming a smoker after listening to UV
Endrit K. Yk Lana is not responsible for that tho right? She just created beautiful dark depressing music and if only and only music has got you smoking or drinking or doing shit I have to say it’s all your fault. You can easily change that tho like how just music changed you. I’m not saying this only to you. I’m saying this to all the people who’ve ended up on the wrong side of the track, cause some people say Lana is a bad influence cause she makes her fans become addicted to chemicals and shit while she never said to smoke or passed drugs out among her fans lol.
@@angelashinner well there is that pic of her passing a blunt to her fan backstage lmaooo still love her tho

Really doing the lords work here lol. Thank you for your dedication.
Brooklyn Baby its my fav too :D
Lana stans have a special bound with ultraviolence. You have a lot of pressure and expectation because of the comments. It is not for mainstream music listeners. It is a very dark alternative album so your reaction is normal.
You really said “I’m not like other girls” in a musical sense I-
@@dprincess3809 ok
just a reminder, u can listen to anything u want
@@aurora681 People can listen ANYTHING they want. I just want to mention that it's okay if she doesn't like the album that much. Because I know that people have different taste in music.
exactly at first i wasn’t rlly into ultraviolence or any of her music but now that i completely got into n understand her n her music i personally feel like that’s her best album
Lana's voice literally sounds like she has lived for a thousand years...
So you are saying she sounds like trash?
@@D4YT0N4 nope
@@D4YT0N4 shes/hes saying that lana sounds like she has experience it all like the 90's 80's ect
She sounds like she has been living since the Middle Age and experienced all the things there. Her voice is just so retro I feel like I’m time travelling every time I listen to her
@@lutherfloyd597 she is like i think she should be the god if she doesn't the real god
Yayo is a slang term for Cocaine so when she sings "Yayo" and you know the reference it's kinda cheeky. Florida Kilos is basically about her being in love with a drug dealer and them running a business together.
Love florida kilos SUCH a good song that you have to know at least some drug language to understand the lyrics
Florida Kilos as last on album is literally a stab to my heart
Florida Kilos is one of my fave from her. I listened to this on spotify wayyy too many times without knowing the meaning of the song-
Fun fact: Pretty When You Cry was improvised and the whole album was recorded in one take.
For real?!
@@klipkillkill402 yuh
The fuck do you mean 1 take?
@@drinkmoreagua8984 Basically in one session - Lana didn't have to record different songs multiple times
Fav on the album
Ultraviolence is just so dark, and difficult to grasp at first, but it ages like a fine wine 🍷.
This album is so raw, dark, and twisted, and also is not very listening friendly, but is also, i think, her most personal album.
this is easily a fan favorite album compared to general audience perspective, but nonetheless every Lana album is a masterpiece, so yeah, can't wait for Honeymoon!
I would argue norman fucking rockwell is more personal to who she actually is.. ultraviolence is still the ~lana del rey~ character
@@mirandad.g3964 personal en su época y su experiencia de ese momento..
@@mirandad.g3964 there is no lana del rey "character". it's called growing and changing
Ultraviolence is her most depressing album and when she was her lowest and on coke alot.
IMO Honeymoon is definitely her most depressing album.
i'm just glad that you included flipside. such an underrated gem.
shallowsoupinbowl my fav
One of the best Lana songs. Periodt!
It’s my favourite I was so happy that she listened to it 🥺
@@thevilkids Definitley, it's in my all time Lana top 5!
JUSTICE FOR FUCKING FLIPSIDE
I get goosebumps literally the entire time when someone reacts to Lana's music especially Ultraviolence, with that little tear in my eyes & everything, lol ... Ik some of y'all can relate.
Preach bitch preach
I wish i could listen to this album for the first time again. Such a haunting masterpiece!
@@jamesgoodman4457 it is it's my favorite of all time, it's deep and dark and definitely not for average brain ppl
yes.
This album changed my life. Old Money makes me cry EVERY time. Makes me think of my mom. I love her with all my heart but it took awhile for this album to hit me. Her music does that. It might not be right away... but if you listen to this at a certain time or moment... and it will haunt you in the best way
Yes, Old Money has been my favorite since I was little.
I hope you have a beautiful day 💛
old money vaporized all of my tears now i dont cry anymore
Old Money is to be my funeral song x
the fact that this album was recorded in one take... her power
only Pretty When You Cry was recorded in one take .
@@astarfornick99 no, pretty when you cry was freestyled, but the entire album was recorded with a live band in one take. they did it that way because they said she couldnt sung after the snl performance so she proved it with this album
@@lexidzink that's not true.. for example, how can West Coast be recorded in one take when the radio version has alternate lyrics? there are even demo's leaked for some songs, so it really can't be recorded in one take
@@astarfornick99 they had to go back and add harmonies, and there were practice runs/demos, but dan auerbach even says it was recorded live in one run in this interview www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/dan-auerbach-on-working-with-lana-del-rey-it-was-amazing-188889/
dan auerbach also didnt come until last second, she already thought she had the album made. but im talking about the complete version you hear now.
This is NOT true. Every song on this album had more than 2 demos except for PWYC.
when she finds out terrence loves you is about david bowie's stepbrother it's over for her
And the ‘Ground Control to Major Tom’ reference
am I the only one that is depressed for 2/3 days after I listen to TLY? Like it is the most beautiful and painful song I have ever listened to
@@pablitopera same omg its so haunting and beautiful and when i read the lyrics i sobbed so much- lana's best song i think
Everytime the Ground Control to Major Tom bit hits I feel I'm shattering a little bit. Like, *incomprehensible screaming*.
BROOKLIN BABY FUN FACT: (not that fun actually) the male voice you listen in the end off the song it’s from Lana’s ex boyfriend Barrie O’Neill but this song was meant to be featured Lou Reed. Lana traveled to New York to meet him and record but on the same day he died.
it's not Barrie but Seth Kaufman. She did write the song with Barrie though.
I’m going to cry when you finally get to NFR. It deservedddddds that Grammy
You: listen cruel world by lana
Me: welcome to the psychodelic world of lana del rey💫
Fact 1: in ultraviolence lana is talking like she was in the skin of the girlfriend of
Jim Morrrison (the doors).
Fact 2: brookling baby its in my opinion one of her best songs, is her STATEMENT as an artist afert all the hate she recived, all the critic about her, because many critics call her "FAKE"
She sings:
"They say im to young to love you" - all the critics that cames out after she keeping writing songs about older mans,
like she wasent free to write about whatever she wants.
"They say i dont understand the freedom land of the 17s"
How media criticized her for singing about these era, her influences about this decade, like she wasent free of writing about this decade and understand it just because she wasent born in it or if that turns her into a fake artist, just because she is singing about the past and she really born in other decade.
"I'm talking about my generation
Talking about that newer nation
And if you don't like it
You can beat it
Beat it, baby
You never liked the way I said it
If you don't get it, then forget it
So I don't have to fucking explain it" - she literally says, im talking about real things,
I'm not glamorizing the abuse about anything, many womans have this problems, if you dont like it STOP TO LISTEN MY SONGS ITS NOT FOR YOU, LET ME BE. You dont like the perspective from the place i write my songs, you just dont listened it OK?
Viviana 22 *70s
I love this song so much, I feel like it's so underrated
Fact 1 isn't a fact, it was a fan theory. Lana herself said it was about a guy she met in AA
@@angelashinner o yeah. I dont saw it jaja takns
Viviana 22 you’re welcome and it was a nice comment 🌹
Born to die was the best opener for her, paradise was a cool touch, the vibes and cinema-like introduction to Lana was also good. I havent watch this yet but I know she is not going to like the sound as much, but will apreciate the lyrics and vocals. Honeymoon is going to be her favorite, but will have mixed feelings at first. She'll like lust for life at the first listen but not enough to be her favorite. She will think NFR is her favorite till she gives honeymoon a few listens. Idk why I just wrote that but knowing her ik guessing it will kinda go like this
I think you're 100% right
I agree and I felt all those things and eventually kept landing on Honeymoon being my favorite. I will never forget the first time I listened to Honeymoon after anticipating it coming out already being a fan at that point! ❤️🙌🏾
@@kllrj08 the first time i actually listened to Lana, BTD was my absolute fav and now it's not even in my top 3 because both UV and Honeymoon have been growing on me ever since then. I have to say that UV is my fav now, but Honeymoon is a close second. They both are masterpieces. Anyway, i am very thankful of discovering Lana this quarantine because i finally get to Listen an artist whose songs don't ever get old, like I've only been listening to her lately and never get tired of her songs, wich is astonishing. Every single thing she creates is magic.
I didn't like Honeymoon until I started to pay attention to the details and the lyrics, it's not my favourite one, but still I love it more that I did when I first listened to it.
NFR sound reminiscent of Honeymoon good prediction 👌
FIRST
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LMAO
CAITLIN STOP IT
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀⚰
PLAKAKAKKAKAKAKAKSKSKSKKSKSKS
nahhhhh
„Flipside“ is absolutely outstanding, one of my favorite tracks in her entire discography. No idea why it was relegated to being Japanese bonus track cause it actually works perfectly well in the context of the album and would have made a fantastic closer.
FR
That song is just SO good
i am a die hard lana fan since late 2012 and i haave looked into her life almost all of her songs backstory but i had no idea this song was a thing honestly im mad at my self for not knowing so if you dont mind me ill be in a ball crying for 2 hours hating my self
zaden Redding girl same
zaden Redding mood
well i never liked lana’s albums after one listen, but with more listens it grows on me much more, so born to die was my fav too, but it definitely changed
thats crazy cause nfr was my first and it became my favorite album of all time after the first listen. it was fate that i listened to her cause i never listen to full albums by artists i newly discovered. so it shows shes special
wowyouaresobeautiful SAME
same, but old money is an exception. the first time i heard it I felt like I just lost my husband of 49 years
In my opinion honeymoon, lfl and nfr had the best lyrics, and i agree uv is not too much lyrically wise but i myself love the rock vibe in ultraviolence so thats why uv is my favorite album of hers
nfr was so deep lyrically and in every way . the album broke me but i loved it so much. i felt every emotion listening to it. shes beyound talented.becausespotify reccommend me to listen...i just sat there for so long listening. also people need to go on genius to undertand every line cause its an actual story
Same
Real ones know that Ultraviolence and Honeymoon are Lana's best work.
Nityaa Malpani yesss🖤🖤🖤
Periodt!
Nfr is up there with UV for me
Oh fuck, yes. The CORRECT ranking
TEA
*the start of Brooklyn Baby
Caitlin: this doesnt sound so depressing
me: honey you got a big storm coming!
JAJAJAJAJA true
*snap*
Brooklyn baby really isn’t depressing she was right lmao?
For those that think this album exploits domestic, physical and mental abuse you just don't understand and likely never have never been abused by a partner. As a survivor of physical abuse, manipulative mental and emotional torture from my ex husband, this album saved me. It showed me I wasn't alone, I wasn't crazy, and I am NOT damaged goods. Yes, yes! There are others like me, and this girl (Lana) is singing my song! It is like you are caught in a sort of limbo, listening to her and watching her and feeling that pain all over again, is MY medicine!! You know how crazy that sounds?? Yeah. I do too. But it's real. It's here. And I'm feeling it all over again. And the more I feel it, the more I HEAL. Thank you Lana for HEALING me and helping me to step into my own power. There's so much more........
I think people confuse written, lived experiences that work into art as a form of glorification. Artists writing, singing, performing the things they’ve lived through is a tale as old as time and isn’t new to any realm of theatre, songwriting, or storytelling. Glorification comes more in the form of how someone likes or loves something and endorses or praises it.
Imagine being in high school listening to these songs late on a school night... i was so dramatic!
We were all there!!
I am there 😞
me rn
Same
SAME
I was fixing to say that "Honeymoon" is next. It's more unified in sound than UV is and it's completely different than both BTD/Paradise and UV. It's the album that inspired me to become a writer and it's always going to have a special place in my heart.
I was probably 14 when this album was released. I was expecting something like Born to Die or Paradise, but UV hit completly different. I didn’t even like it after few listening. Years passing by and now is my favourite. Then I was a child and I didn’t understand a lot od things she was singing about. Growing up I experienced it and at some point it hit me so hard. So f**king hard and I am so gratefull for this album. So yeah, it take some listening sesion and time to really appreciate this album.
I can’t wait for Honeymoon reaction. I think you will like it ❤️
Same.
i have never cried about a boy to a album or a song before but sis in 2017 when my ex broke up with me for the first time (one of many 😅) i turned on ultraviolence and sobbed 😅😭 then west coast comes on & i’m dancing while crying then sad girl comes on and i’m crying then Money Power Glory comes & Fucked my way up to the top comes on and i’m in that bad bitch mentality then old money comes on and BAM 😭😤 overall this album is iconic and deep and dark and hauntingly beautiful and it’s the best to listen to during fall but especially during winter idk why but it just gives me winter vibes maybe because winter is dark cold and creepy ( Snowy roads at nights with the streetlights on is such a horror movie vibe idk why it just is) and also beautiful it matches the album also my depression is the WORST during winter 😅
I completely agree with the winter thing! When I first listened to the album, it was in December of 2014. It was perfect especially with what I was going through emotionally. I think that’s why I have such a connection to this Lana era!
My depression is worse during the summer cuz it's too hot and I got that *summertime sadness* yk
D C me too fall is the best for me it’s where i’m the happiest
Hahaha yes. I was in high school, and in an emotionally abusive relationship and my home life was a mess. Lana was on repeat. Just being “in love” but knowing it was toxic. I’m doing way better now as an adult. Lanas music has a special place in my heart. I love how every Lana fan is depressed and alone but we’re not really alone as a fan base now it’s kind of a running joke to be sad. 🤣
Additional information for this album: "cruel world" is a conversation between Lana and her older self lizzy grant.
"Money, power, glory" is a "fuck you" to her haters and the media because that is what they were saying about her so she took it, flipped it and made a song out of it.
"Fucked my way to the top" is a diss track aimed at an artist who said that about her, again she took it and sarcastically made a song out of it.
"old money" is lana Reminiscing about her childhood.
"the other woman" is a Nina Simone cover.
"pretty when I cry" was freestyled.
And finally this whole album was recorded in one sitting.
(Saw this comment thought it was helpful for first time Lana listeners)
honey, you have the same reaction as we all did when she dropped UV. No one liked it until a few years later, we all realized that it was a masterpiece... give it time and you'll appreciate more
I think the idea of "but you haven't seen my man" is that if you saw him you would fall in love with him too and it would make you do things you never thought you would
Thats exactly what I thought
PLEEEEAAAASEEE react to MARINA’s discography next; she was formerly known as Marina and the Diamonds (not a band, just her) but she changed her name to MARINA on all streaming platforms. i think you’d fall in love with her!
UP

I loved your reaction because it's similar to mine when I first heard it. Ultraviolence is such an amazing record. I'm excited to see your reaction on Honeymoon because it's my favorite album of all time. Now, I don't want you to have any expectations to it. Just enjoy your time listening to it, and I'd suggest that you listen to it by morning or afternoon since it's like a daytime cinematic album.
cant wait for honeymoon!!
samee
@@sophiesdollhouse honeymoon next then lust
s shes not, she wrote a comment saying she misspoke
I just can’t wait for your reaction to NFR!
Ultraviolence is such a masterpiece even in songs like Brooklyn baby, cruel world, and like in West Coast when she says *I’m in love, I’m in love*
This album is just so dark and powerful it’s like they’re happy lyrics but it almost feels like she’s trying her best to feel happy. She’s singing it in a way where she’s trying to make herself believe it because happiness isn’t really there. She’s singing happy lyrics but all you feel is pain.
10/10 album honestly.
Ultraviolence is an album that’s gonna become one of your favorites the more you listen! Because wow! Born To Die is an album I feel like people fall in love with right away and get mesmerized not expecting Lana to sound that way.But overall I don’t think both albums can be comparable in sound since they are so different it’s just depends on people’s taste. I think once you hear all of Lana’s work your mind will change on your top albums. I personally always go up and down on what albums I like more cause each one hits different at different times! But again lyrics, vocals, sound and storytelling was all there and so heartbreakingly beautiful! Lana’s music is something else entirely!! It’s an experience of its own!!!
This was an amazing reaction. The fact you included is this happiness and flip side makes this perfect. The amount of speechlessness is so understandable. I still can’t find the words to describe Ultraviolence. The reminded me why it’s my favorite album🖤
The title track "Ultraviolence" has a special meaning for me
Especially that verse "I love you the first time, I love you the last time, cause I'm your jazz singer, and you're my cult leader, I love you forever, I love you forever"
That was for my Natalie
She loved Lana Del Rey
She was my heart
God rest her beautiful soul 🥺❤
I'm in love with Ultraviolence, West Coast, Pretty When You Cry, and Florida Kilos are some of my favorites. ♡♡♡
"Being a mistress on the side might not be something you would do but you havent seen my man" implies you would want to if you knew him as far as i gather, i think its a song about being manipulated but in love
I feel like Lana just grows on people over time in general. This one is my personal favorite but the feelings did definitely grow ever since high school. Hope you'll enjoy the rest! Can't wait to watch 🖤
This album is depression. It just feels like there's a huge dark cloud following you around. And I'm here for it.
Ultraviolence really grows on you. I first listened to it when I was a freshman in high school. I hated most of it except for a few songs (Brooklyn Baby, Shades of Cool, Pretty When You Cry). To me, those songs resonated with her old albums the most. I felt like I lost the “old Lana” in Ultraviolence and was extremely disappointed; to me her music style changed a lot and all the songs sounded the same. As time went on I started listening to it more often, and I really don’t know what it is about Lana’s music, but I feel like you just need to get used to it because her vocals and her instrumentals are so unique and unlike anything you’ve ever listened to before. Flash forward a few years, my favorite album is now Ultraviolence. There’s just something about it. It’s so dark and seductive, yet the feelings in it are so raw and unfiltered. It really brings out all of these feelings of grief, sadness, and nostalgia you never even knew you had. Each song in Ultraviolence is like a sad story, with the moral being that no matter how much you love someone, you are bound to get hurt. The price of love is pain.
They’re not similar at all to each other 😭
here we go..... i don't think this is my favorite album but my favorite Lana song of all time is here and it's "Old Money".
9:05 that shot of you is so beautiful. Exactly how I envision myself and other people to be like while listening to Lana
I’ve been here EVERY day since Paradise for you to react to Ultraviolence. I have no words to describe the feeling of listening to Lana but when I watch you listen I know you know the exact feeling. Can’t wait for the new album 😫😫
When I first listened to Ultraviolence I was not a fan. I was so used to the more cinematic and upbeat sound on Born to Die that Ultraviolence was such a big contrast and I didn’t really enjoy it. But since then it has become my absolute favorite Lana album . It takes a few listens in different scenarios but it went from being one of my least favorite albums of hers to my favorite album of all time. But as someone who didn’t like the album at first, I can totally understand someone not really feeling it as much as say Born to Die especially on their first few listens. It’s really dark lol
I was depressed when I heard ultravoilence, it didn't cure my depression but made me soooo much comfortable with itttt

The title song "pretty when you cry" is her boyfriend telling her that. Is about her boy whos control her, she is in a abusive relationship,
her boyfriend manipulates her psychologically so he tells her something like (its an interpretation of the context):
Im doing what i want with you, you have to do what i want, and if make you cry, babe, dosent worry, is not bad, because you are pretty when you cry, soo i will do what I want no matter if it hurts you and I make you cry - manipulation.
In a relationship where she is being MANIPULATED she BELIEVES what he is saying y she acceps all the shit from him soo for that reason she sings en el chorus" because im pretty when i cry", is the manipulated Lana whos sings this part.
“She’s her own genre” OHMYGOD soooo true
When lana hits those notes in the chrous of shades of cool and that guitar solo at the end I WANT TO DIE TO THAT IDC LET THAT BE MY DYING SONG ❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨
Oh damn I literally never knew The Other Woman was a cover! It fits in so well with the other songs on the album sonically and lyrically.
The next one is Honeymoon and not Lost For Life! Don’t miss Honeymoon because is one of my favourites 🖤
Can't wait for your Honeymoon reaction!
i clicked really fast, actually
I love watching people discover the gloomy yet glamorous world of Lana Del Rey.
your reaction so sincere that it made me goosebumps all the time
Omg it‘s finally here: You reacting to my fav Lana album eek K bye gonna watch this now I‘m sooo excited !!
Black Beauty it's about when you're in love with someone who has depression. She paint all in black, but she is not depressed. That's why she sings "Life is beautiful, but you don't have a clue".

lana has always been my favorite artist of all time but watching you react to her makes me love her music even more for some reason. really never thought i could love it more than i did 💀 can’t wait for the next albums!
Lana came out with BTD to make her name in the industry, but then they claimed her to be not original and she slammed Ultraviolence on their face
Also when I was in an abusive relationship I used to listen to this album a lot, it gave me lots of comfort since when you're under abuse you can't really tell it's bad for you so, Lana hugged me for 3 years
in what way is born to die ordinary? it was so revolutionary and is still timeless. was the perfect intro for her. it changed pop culture
This video transcended me back several years to my first time listening to this album. It truly is a tragically beautiful piece of art; an emotional journey that leaves the audience speechless. Your reaction does this album justice, well done love :)
you HAVE to listen to young and beautiful it’s a song that was in the great gatsby and it’s mesmerizing and so beautiful fr
I was one of the people hyping up UV and im sorry because at the end of the day its always like that. After we see a lot of people hype something so much,its inevitable to set the bar so impossibly high. I'm glad that after deep diving and more re-listens you're getting to love this album a bit more (it was the same for me with this album and honeymoon especially) I'm really excited for you to react to NFR, it's frequently called her magnum opus and I think you might love it :)
Yes this album is very dark and heavy and its my favorite but I dont listen to it very often because it puts me in a very Dark place if that makes sense. So I understand how you may feel liking BTD better. Cant wait for you to listen the other albums!
please react to AURORA’s “All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend” !!!
YESS
Yesssss
Plsssssss
Yaasssd
hell yas
This album shaped my 2014... I love how Caitlin is totally in her element here on this video!
returned to this video after this albums grown on me to the point where it and nfr are my favs and i cant believe what you have done to west coast and florida kilos oh goodness my heart
girl, this album made me stan lana because I loved the production and stuff but for the lyrics, it took me YEARS to fully appreciate the emotion, deepness, heartfelt, darkness, soulful, sadness and beauty of this album. it's so haunting and explosive, makes me wanna scream and at the same time, put me on a place I don't know if I can take it, it's full and so fragile. her mind and sound change a lot since then and tbh I prefer her newest album NFR (which I think you gonna love it), but UV it's still her most vulnerable album for me, even more than honeymoon, another one that I did only appreciated years after because is soooo personal and deep, it's really sad but so pretty too, "The Blackest Day" it's one of my fav songs of all time.
This album mean so much for me it's my favourite album of all time, glad u give it a try!! Also Flipside ugh this song forever my favourite 🖤💫
i was just watching your reaction to "PARADISE" and i was like oh when will she upload her ultraviolence reaction lets see if she uploaded it. and you did it like an hour ago OKAY BYE SEE YOU IN 33,44 MINUTES
honestly i immediately loved uv right after it dropped, probably because i was into rock bands at the time and i really wanted lana to release an even darker album but i understand that it might be too heavy and dark for a lot of people. my friend was also the same, she had only liked uv when she listened to it again after so many years. also the music videos for uv era are amazing!
the best thing about this album is that it was recorded over a live band! which is like never done, at least not since the 70s or something lol. her singing in sync with the live music around her is definitely part of the reason I think this album is magical
My favourite album of Lana’s. So incredibly dark and disturbing in parts but completely intoxicating. I can listen to this album on loop and feel like I’m disappearing to another realm for a while...
You forgot to react to her singles : young and beautiful, and looking for america
looking for america is NFR era
looking for america isnt from this era, she should still listen to it when she listens to nfr
ew isn’t that a cover tho
@@-lee7867 season of the witch is a cover but its a good song, the original was already legendary and made more so by lana
I first listened to Born to Die in 2012 and is still my favourite album. People hipe up Ultraviolence so much, and it's a great album, I love it, but tbh is 4th on my ranking of Lana's albums
OH this is gonna fuck you UP! And I do appreciate you being thorough, I know I have to take the time to sink in with Lana's new stuff whenever she premieres something.
Edit - I think what's tough with this album is that later tracks aren't as hard, but stuff like "Cruel World" and "Shades of Cool" are just so unrelenting that it's hard to breathe.
Edit 2 - I think "Ultraviolence" the song is one of the best depictions of abuse in music because of the rumors I've heard about it. *SUPPOSEDLY*, and that's a big supposedly there, "Jim" initially nearly saved Lana's life; she was spiraling due to drinking, especially with the stuff she talked about on "This Is What Makes Us Girls", and Jim helped her get sober - but it wasn't because he cared about her, it was because he was a total control freak. To me, if that's true, it makes it much easier to understand why it would have been so hard to leave him and why getting hit truly might have felt like true love.
Loved the fact you reacted to Flipside!!! Everyone forgets about to react to that song which is one of the best on the album.
queen! i agree tbh born to die is still superior! however ultraviolence will still be in my top 3 bc even tho its less versatile, the sound and vibe is still just amazing. also cant wait for your honeymoon reaction
I LOVE YOU FOR REACTING TO FLIPSIDE AND IS THIS HAPPINESS
the 70s rock vibe from this album gives me life
i felt so cozy is this video, just like a girl's night, introducing lana to my bestie-- loved this sm!!
Fun Facts about this ALBUM: There was no pre written music or lyrics for Pretty When You Cry, they were all just messing around and created a masterpiece in one take. Dan Auerbach, the producer of Ultraviolence, says that 90% of the vocals Lana did, were recorded at once, while the band was laying down the instrumentals. Brooklyn Baby was supposed to be a duet with Lou Reed, but she passed away the VERY day The Velvet Underground crooner was supposed to to record with Lana.
