Not gonna give my opinion yet (They're just snippets). But I don't feel that hip-hop-ish vibe that give me songs like NA, BJ or TIWMUG (or that Justin Parker's touch). And those high notes on Cola (Hope we find a song similar). Then that flawless Paradise cover and production compared to UV, hope she re-release months later (Ultraviolence Days and then Ultraviolence Days Reloaded) with more tracks like BTD and Paradise. And why not tracks like Damn You, Go Go Dancer, Never let me go. By the way, isn't this Black Beauty the same that the leak?

Sis...this album is NOT what youre looking for.

[marcella]

i really hope we're getting a full album stream. i do agree, i would've loved to get a bop like national anthem or diet mountain dew but from what i've heard so far and it's just the verses: THIS ALBUM IS STUNNING!

she just never disappoints!

Why are people pretending that Lana will put out something close to pop?

I mean seeing people who worship J.Lo or Kesha saying they don't like Lana's new style is just hilarious.

!!!!!!!!!

She even said that this album is truly her vision, so she doesn't really find creativity in pop music.

Cant we like Lana too? I am a huge JLo fan, love Kesha and i enjoyed all Lana's albums. There is nothing wrong with that.

Don't even go there. Just because I stan for JLo and Kesha doesn't mean I can't appreciate other styles of music. I was in love with BTD and Paradise and am to this day, but what she's been putting out recently just isn't IT. She took a giant step back with this album it seems, every one of these songs sounds like a reject from the Lizzy Grant album and I'm just not here for it.

It's not a step back, it's just something you don't enjoy. And quite honestly, anybody who enjoys Dr Luke productions just shouldn't listen to anything Dan Auerbach has produced or call it bad.

[Versace]

It seems to me that based on this snippets I won't like this album as much as I like BTD. There are no stand out tracks and I don't really dig the production, but I use a couple of songs (FMWUTTT, Old Money sounds beautiful, Ultraviolence, Brooklyn Baby). I still can't wait for the whole album tho.

Bad is not the word that comes to mind. Uninspired and drab do though.

[Flame]

I needed ONE bop. ONE. I was fine with this this. I love most of the songs. I just wanted one song that didn't sound like I could sleep to it. Ugh.

I wanted an OTTR 2.0. That's all I wanted.

[HabbGaga]

I think I'm most excited to hear Old Money, followed by Fed My Way Up To the Top and Florida Kilos and maybe The Other Woman. I also somewhat like Brooklyn Baby, but I'm not overly thrilled, but I think this is how I was about the whole Born To Die album as well so, it's hard to judge by such small snippets when the lengths of each song are around the 5 minute mark. But Old Money sounds hauntingly beautiful.

[genetic fail]

Not gonna listen tbh
I don't wanna judge yet

[V$.]

No new Snippets on Amazon?

[MarilynMonroe]

Florida kilos is my favorite track.

These songs does not sound like LG rejects. This album is definitely a step forward in terms of lyrics, vocals and production too. Idek...
Maybe you enjoyed Paradise and Born To Die that much because you prefer pop music BUT that does not mean they are better than UV. Especially the lyrics on Paradise and the sloppy production on BTD. I enjoy these albums too btw, I just don't really think they come close to be as creative and unique as UV has been so far.

[Flame]

I think it's kind of awkward how some of the Lana stans are trying SO hard to drag everyone who says this album isn't perfection. It's kind of sad. People have different opinions. You should learn to accept them because it makes you look... I don't know... just off. You're free to love the album. I'm glad that you do. Not everyone does though. Doesn't make them the antichrist and hater of good music as you guys are making it out to be.

Okay sis. Hopefully I'll be able to come here when I listen to the album in full and take it all back. But as of now, I'm extremely disappointed.

How is it any different from those coming back time and time again to argue how bad it is?

But really, we wouldn't have to "drag" (who is even dragging btw??) if people would use common sense. Thanks to Black Beauty and Lana herself, we knew this would be a vastly different album from Born to Die and Paradise, even before West Coast dropped. This change in direction has been common knowledge since last summer and you're mad because it's too slow? It's "boring"? You wanted a "bop"?

Lana has a plethora of unreleased songs and a countless number of them are pop influenced. Summer of Sam, Dum Dum, Afraid, Boarding School, all these songs exist. Go there if you a pop song. Moreover, if Born to Die is a great as you all say it is, you shouldn't need a 2.0 or more of the same. Its quality should stand the test of time.

If you want pop music, fine. Get your life, niece. Your taste in entertainment is yours and yours only. But you need to understand that Lana, while exploring the genre in the past, isn't a pop star. Ultraviolence is who she is at her core and really, Sirens and Lana Del Ray (and a metric ton of those unreleased songs) are proof of that. Stop trying to stifle her creativity and stall her artistic growth because you want something to pop your ass too, especially when there is an over saturation of artists who already provide that.

And this is more of a general statement, rather than a direct response to you, Flame.

What does knowing the album was going to be in a different direction for a while have ANYTHING to do with our opinion on the final product? Just because we knew it wouldn't be similar to Born To Die doesn't mean I can't dislike the album and think it's her worst album to date, and extremely boring.. that logic makes no sense. I didn't need Lana to be a pop star, she never has been, but Born To Die remains her best body of work, and this is just a mess.
