This is a huge step forward from Ultraviolence IMO. I was hoping for more BTD-era throwback with some faster-paced songs but I understand now why that wouldn't have worked conceptually. The second half of the album is pure perfection, though I could have done without her cover of Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood. I am sooooo attached to the version from the Kill Bill Vol. 1 soundtrack that I have no interest in listening to other versions
