Ultraviolence [VINYL]

Product Information

Ultraviolence is Lana Del Rey’s second studio album following her highly publicized debut with Born To Die. Shades of Cool" was described by Consequence of Sound as "a slow and slightly gloomy ballad marked by reverberated guitars, slight atmospherics, and Del Rey's vocals that alternate between a hushed whisper and ephemeral wailing". Directly following the cruise the “North American Retribution Tour” begins with Death Angel doing their first full on headline tour of the states since the “ACT III Tour” in 1990. There's some distortion and sibilance at points in Money Power Glory which sounds rough, but otherwise it's solid.

She did not promote the album with television performances or interviews, instead relying on a couple of print interviews, music videos, and social media. Dynamics and nuances are preserved here compared to the first press CD, although the hi-hat itself sounds a bit more present while the rest of the instruments feel just a little bit brighter but nonetheless powerful. Caryn Ganz for Rolling Stone gave a positive review, commenting the album "is a melancholy crawl through doomed romance, incorrigible addictions, blown American dreams," although she also wrote " [it] wraps desire, violence and sadness into a tight bundle that Del Rey doesn't always seem sure how to unpack". In 2016 they faced their first lineup changes as their former bass player Roberto "Robba" Dimasi and former drummer Simone Verre left the band. It was made available through the traditional CD, digital download, and vinyl formats, and was additionally distributed in a multi-piece box set; it covers the title "Ultraviolence" in black foil, includes the deluxe record on compact disc and on a two-piece vinyl collection, and is packaged with four photo art cards.The response was so great that many offers came quickly in 2002, beginning with a “secret” gig in San Francisco, and sold it out under the psuedo name, “Kill As One. Pitchfork's Mark Richardson said that Ultraviolence was a concept album "from a Concept Human", referring to Del Rey's assumed persona. It goes so far as to reflect, albeit perhaps coincidentally, this era: black and white, the colour has to come from the performance, not the film it's captured on.

The album was a full-frontal assault on the ears, buzzing with the group’s youthful energy, and “ The Ultra Violence” sold 40,000 copies in just four months. With many guest appearances by some of the peers and contemporaries who happen to be some of the most respected players in the genre. The only problem that I had was the sibilance on "Money Power Glory", an issue I've seen echoed before, but other than that, this release (at least, the newer represses) sounds perfectly fine. Justin Charity of Complex magazine noted, " Ultraviolence is a blues affair, with moody innuendo spilling bloody and bold as the opening sequence to a vintage Bond saga".I am a 23 year old man from South Sudan, I have spent most of my life in a continuous war, it was a normal day 2 weeks ago as I was fighting. While we don't come to classic thrash LPs for the notoriously great sound many other artists at the time had the finances to produce, the gritty attitude and, dare I say, soul of these recordings is what makes them astounding. As others have mentioned, later versions with the square sticker and “masterdisk SH” in the runouts sound significantly better than the early reviews of this pressing.

After two weeks, Ultraviolence sold over 220,000 copies in the US; [92] at the time of release, it held the record for the largest album sales debut by a female artist in 2014, until was overtaken by Taylor Swift's 1989 in November. The only downside is that the insert lyric is 10 inches, the text looks weird (like stretched) and there's no Death Angel logo on the back. Recording out of California for the first time, they found themselves in Sanford, Florida laying down the sound with Producer Jason Suecof who Co-Produced the album with Rob. In the edit page, go to the 'Metadata' tab and add your Juno artist, label or release page for listeners to purchase your release / releases. Del Rey resumed her tour in the beginning of October with a set at the Austin City Limits Music Festival and headlined gigs in Mexico City and Monterrey between October 6 and 9 and at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery on October 17 and 18.

You are completely absolutely correct and have made no mistake in your sentence whatsoever and I applaud you for that as you have made a thoughtful statement that many agree with and those that disagree are in the minority because your statement has absolutely no faults and thus is completely without a question correct and deserves nothing but agreement. This video is an exquisite masterpiece, out of every single video I have ever even heard of on the entire platform, this by far has enlightened me to do fly, lose 90 pounds and even become the president of the United States, and I'm going to tell you why this is such a masterpiece as if hearing the creators, no, god of this universes luscious voice. Rolling Stone named it the seventh best album of 2014 and third best pop album in its annual compilations, later commenting: " Ultraviolence qualifies as a radical statement from a pop star in 2014 – it's mostly produced by Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach, who relies on electric guitar and other live instruments, and none of its eleven tracks sound much like a potential radio hit. Starting with the presentation, a gatefold would be appreciated but otherwise I like the packaging, insert and labels are pretty and the sleeve is good quality. The album also fared well with the critics, who praised her vocals and its cohesiveness compared to her previous works.

The album was frequently ranked by various publications as among the best albums of the year as well as the decade, with Metacritic citing it as the 13th-most frequently mentioned album in critics "year-end" lists in 2014. Overall, Ultraviolence debuted at number one in 12 countries, [94] including the United Kingdom, making it her second consecutive number-one album, following Born to Die. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, with sales of 182,000, making it Del Rey's first number-one album in the US and responsible for a career-best sales week. In a Kulturnews interview, Lana said that “Ultraviolence” was about a cult leader she met as a member of underground group in New York.I wish they did more with the packaging and it's a little odd that they couldn't fit this onto one disc, but the sound is great. Formed in 2009, their members currently consist of Loris Castiglia (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Andrea Vacchiotti (lead guitar), Andrea Lorenti (Bass), and Francesco "Frullo" La Rosa (drums).
