The Land of Gods and Monsters: Lana Del Rey's 2nd thread

I didn't really enjoy the album all that much tbh. All the tracks before "Sad Girl" are so goddamn boring. But then from Sad Girl onward, I can digest the material a little better. My suspicions were right when I listened to all the pre-released songs; the album is too slow, somber, and psychedelic for me. I prefer her Born to Die/Paradise eras. Maybe I shouldn't have listened to Ultraviolence with the mindset that it could be Born to Die version 2.0? idk. I'm disappointed though.

I loved the album, I had a huge feeling that it was ALL going to be like the pre releases so I cleared all my mind of BTD and just accepted it as a whole new stage in Lana's music totally different

^Same. If I had went into this album hoping to hear Born to Die: Part 2, I would've been disappointed as well. I knew it wouldn't be, though, after listening to the pre-releases, so I accepted that beforehand.

I'm really enjoying it, although I do think it's a downer. Born to Die and Paradise were somber at times, but Ultraviolence is somber all the way through. Not an upbeat track to be found.
