You need to listen to the last song on the album, Flipside!! You really won't regret it. Flipside and California (from NFR) are like sister tracks imo

Oh yea, pretty when you cry was free styled in the studio and they decided to use it!

[@bennshouts]

DAMN

[@zanoti4461]

the guitar in shades of cool kills me everytime and its been 7(?) years, this album is so good i can't

[@bennshouts]

RIGHT omg

[@ben-fq9cu]

i never learn is such an underrated album!!

[@dolly-jg8dt]

unpopular opinion: florida kilos is such an underrated song, i feel like it has a gorgeous cinematic vibe to it but still i enjoyed watching you listen to this it definitely reminds me of myself listening to it for the first time haha

[@bennshouts]

Hahaha glad we were the same 😂😂

[@mirroredheart7292]

Ultraviolence & Honeymoon really are her best works. The atmosphere, the cohesion, the structure of each song, the simplistic yet poetic lyrics, pure genius all throughout. NFR is an amazing album, but HM & UV aren’t just albums, they are worlds.

"Old Money" is an emotional experience. You can't help but be completely arrested by Lana when it plays. It's one of my favourite songs ever.

[@bennshouts]

RIGHT?!

[@zanoti4461]

i'm gonna bring a fun fact once again, i saw somewhere years ago her talking about how she used diffent amounts of paper sheets between her and the mic while recording, so she could her some different volumes and textures on her voice, especially on the layered vocals, idk i just think its pretty cool that its not ALL production but has some organic elements aswell :P

[@instrumentsmrti]

she did this on lfl too! not sure ab the rest

[@bennshouts]

LOVE THAT!!!!

[@abezhr]

Yes she always has something done to her voice through every album, like in lust for life the walkie-talkie effect. Thats how we know Yosemite was supposed to be on it.

[@k.d.5603]

Yep, there's video she took of her recording, I think, Beautiful People Beautiful Problems in the studio using the paper effects.

[@matheusguedes9073]

yesssssss she also bought very cheap microphones to record ultraviolence to have a “low quality” muffled sound and i love it

the “bonnie” is a reference to Bonnie & Clyde, a couple who were infamous bank robbers. When people say they’re like “bonnie and clyde” they mean they’re ride or dies for each other essentially

You're always gonna miss a song with Lana lmao 7 years later I still keep finding unreleased music. That's part of the beauty

[@matthewli5249]

It simply is NOT one of the best songs on the album.

[@bennshouts]

It wasnt on apple music :(

[@nicolodeon05]

Fun fact: The beginning of Old Money actually samples off of the song in 1968’s Romeo and Juliet “what is a youth” which is a song that is sang by one the characters in the ball where Romeo and Juliet find eachother for the first time :)

[@bennshouts]

Omg 🥺 I love that so much!!!! Thank you!!!

[@bennshouts]

Awww that makes my day! 😍 I’m so glad!!!! ✨✨✨✨

[@Flipsta]

One of my favourite albums!! Black Beauty, by the way, is about when a person in your life is struggling with mental health and is unable to see the beauty of life no matter how much you try to show it to them. It's super sad :(

[@bennshouts]

Thats so sad omg

[@lgtg9268]

You were our representation of all of us listening to Old money for the first time

[@bennshouts]

😭😭😭😭

[@jspettifer]

I think Lust for Life will grow on you if you listen to some of the songs individually. It is a very long album and if you take out the 6 songs you like least (different for everyone) - you will end up with a great album. Old Money is my favourite Lana song. I love the line “Will you still love me when I shine From words but not from beauty” which has only recently been challenged as my favourite line by “Let me shine like a diamond Let me be who I'm meant to be”

[@bennshouts]

Havent listened to it since the reaction ha - the others I have for sure! Old Money 🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@harleyjackson3008]

TIMELESS!!!

[@Johnsmith47890]

Not the lust for life shade on its 4th birthday 😂😭 ultraviolence is definitely one of her best albums, if not the best. It came out when I was 10/11 and I remember listening to it on my little MP3 player

[@bennshouts]

Yessss ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@ksingh5937]

Loved that you enjoyed 'fucked my way up to the top.' I've always felt like this song is so underappreciated. It's just Lana being the iconic queen that she is in this song (and basically in every other song.) On another note, I would suggest putting the cover of the albums or singles that you're reacting to on the thumbnails because it grabs the attention of people more easily considering how many people just do 'passive scrolling'.

[@bennshouts]

Yesss its so good hahahaha! THANK YOU! Love the feedback! I did it and it looks SO MUCH BETTER!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@0485dlp]

I was going to say the same thing about FMYUTTT. This song is such a rockstar to me but I'm always heading reactors calling it filler. The production here is masterful. And maybe this is a weird thing to pick on but I love the juxtaposition of how softly she says the word fuck. And also how she uses the "lay me down tonight" refrain at the end of the last chorus in Ultraviolence 👌👌👌

[@ksingh5937]

@@0485dlp Thank you!! Ikr, like why do so many people pay this song and Florida kilos dust. Also, when she says 'go baby go, go, go' , it fills me with so much excitement; it makes me feel like a badass. Yeah, I know this sounds weird.

[@marciovelho747]

yaaay, great reaction! I always go to this album when I'm depressed or just kinda mad, it feels like a warm sadder hug lol and yes, old money is one of the best on her discography. The song ultraviolence is inspired by a cult leader who used live in NY, Money Power Glory and Fucked My Way are callbacks to the way she was portrayed by media when BTD was released

Black beauty is probably one of my favorites! They all are amazing! This album as a whole ranks pretty high up in my favorites in general and of hers. The first 4 on the album are a work of art. Florida kilos grew on me a lot! It's the one I find often stuck in my head

[@bennshouts]

AGREED!

[@punish5r]

love love love this album. it will always be my fav but honeymoon is a close second! it’s hard for me to rank her albums tho as lust for life is the only one i really didnt like as a whole. but this reaction was so good and i cant wait for u to finish off her discography! paradise and born to die will blow ur mind.

[@bennshouts]

AGREED!

F my way up to the top is kind of an fu to the paparazzi for saying that’s how she got to the top lol

[@bennshouts]

Its so goood

[@DaveFineWhine]

This was a really great review, as are all of your LDR ones. I can't be objective about this album - it was the first Lana record I was there for the release of all the singles, hearing a couple of the songs on live bootleg videos before release, and all the excitement along with it, so my memories will always be seen through rose coloured glasses because of that. My main memory is of the fandom being split down the middle between those who wanted her to keep making records like Born To Die (which itself is not a straight up pop record, but really covers so much ground), or going all in on the rock direction. She didn't really do either, and this album is the only one of hers that sounds quite like this.

[@bennshouts]

Thank you so much!! Ooooo! That woulda been such a time! Love that it holds such a special place for you!! ✨✨✨

[@ChloeBabezzz]

Honestly, this album changed my life, made me the woman I am now, I still get goosebumps and listen to this album chronologically and isolated and it just takes me away. If I had to choose just one song from this one I'd choose Shades of Cool 😍 Loved this video! 💖

[@bennshouts]

[@charlottemorrow8873]

What I love about this album is how sarcastic it is!! Songs like money power glory, fucked my way, and Brooklyn baby are just jabs at the media and everyone saying that “she can’t sing” and “she’s just in it for the money” and “she must’ve slept with someone to get a record deal” It’s also important to note that this album came after her infamous SNL performance where she was incredibly nervous and “bombed” so everyone thought she wasn’t a real singer. So she gave us this album as a big fuck you and even sang every song live!! (Pretty when you cry was ad libbed) so it’s just so special to my heart bc her personality def shined through

Fun Fact about Fcked My Way Up To The Top, It is actually a diss track for Lorde. Lorde claimed she doesn’t like the lyricism of Lana’s songs and how she can’t relate to the “having money” or “nice things” which is completely untrue anyways because the point of Lana singing about all of the “things she has” is just a vision. Back when she released Born to Die, she didn’t have any of the things she sang about it was just her envisioning how she wants to live her life. Lorde said she would hear her songs about “money” and she would be figuring out “how to pay for a taxi as a ride home” I personally think Lorde is jealous and Lana ENDED her with Fcked My Way Up To The Top anyways

"In a recent interview with COMPLEX Magazine, Lana Del Rey discussed her new album Ultraviolence. Among the album's tracks is "Fucked My Way Up To the Top." Though her listeners trumpet many suppositions regarding the inspiration for this song, Del Rey explains to Droppo: It's commentary, like, 'I know what you think of me, and I'm alluding to that. You know, I have slept with a lot of guys in the industry, but none of them helped me get my record deals. Which is annoying."
