"Flipside" makes you wanna give up? It's more about hope for me, the "flipside" aka catching someone who you lost again (tomorrow). It's a wonderful track

[Blairbear]

Love this album so much

I think you guys should check out Jeff Buckley's music, it has a similar raw atmosphere that Ultraviolence has!

Omg no flipside puts me in such a horrible mood it feels like of a like trying to get someone back. The lyrics and production are heaven but it depresses me.

It depresses me too, because I know the feeling.

But it's also one of my favorites on the entire album, so I'm conflicted.

Though! Black Beauty and Sad Girl always put me in the best of moods,ugh the second verse of black beauty "I keep my lips red" heaven!!!

It's so good... one of the best on the album but it's so difficult to choose favorites. I actually find myself going and deliberately playing Guns and Roses now

STANN!

I hope the Urban vinyl counts as an album sale because it's the only version of the album I've bought (on two separate occasions though) the only place I've seen the album is Walmart and I'm not here for that censoring ********.

[bopboy]

I made a flop thread about this an no one responded lolz but does anyone else see the story arc I do? This album is such a flawless masterpiece

Cruel World: Setting the tone for the rest of the album. Establishes the main character as self destructive and one half of a tumultuous on and off relationship.

Ultraviolence: Elaborates on this relationship further. Alluding to some domestic abuse. Also sets the time in the 70's when she says "we could go back to Woodstock"

Shades of Cool: Discusses the depression and flaws of her boyfriend (likely inspired by Barrie)

Brooklyn Baby: Sets the setting of the first half of the story in Brooklyn and the 70's. It also establishes that this first lover is young. Standing on it's own it's a humorous satire of current hipsters and some people's preconceived notions of her.

West Coast: Her telling her current boyfriend that she's leaving him to go to the West Coast and pursue her dreams. The "sweet boy" in the chorus is perhaps the man she is leaving him for. When thought of what comes next in the album and thinking back to the video it makes sense that this man is older.

Sad Girl: This song sets the stage for what's actually happening to her on the West Coast. She's a mistress to the older man from West Coast and even as she tries to say that she's enjoying herself, her sadness comes through in the bridge and chorus.

Pretty When You Cry: Another song about her sadness with her current relationship. She's always waiting to get attention from this man who can't give her all his attention and love.

Money Power Glory: As apart of the story it's her growing angry with her current position as his mistress and discussing what she really wants out of life and threatening to perhaps go public and ruin his marriage to get what she wants. As a stand alone track it is another satirical piece about people's perception of her.

****ed My Way Up to the Top: In the story I think it serves to conclude the arc as a mistress. I think the "lay me down tonight" is her saying that their relationship is ending. Then I think the "I ****ed my way up to the top" is her literally saying what her character has done and the "this is my show" is sort of her facing what her life has truly become. On it's own the track is the Lorde/Gaga diss and also satire on people's idea of who she is.

Old Money: I think this was inspired by Gatsby. In the context of the story I think it is her calling back to her first lover( he called her the "queen of New York City") and her wishing she had stayed but perhaps accepting that it could never be at this point. This echos Daisy's struggle.

The Other Woman: This song is the main character reflecting on what her life was and eventually became of it. She was left all alone as the years went by.

[Jameson Teqkilla]

Yeah, I get the same narrative. The Other Woman is like the ending credits and moral of the story.

I added some of the bonus tracks and the story still flows well:

Cruel World
Ultraviolence
Shades Of Cool
Brooklyn Baby
Florida Kilos
West Coast
Sad Girl
Is This Happiness
Pretty When You Cry
Money Power Glory
Flipside
****ed My Way Up To The Top
Old Money
The Other Woman

Bonus Tracks
Black Beauty
Guns N Roses

[Outlaws]

My ranking.

- Brooklyn baby.
- Shades of cool.
- Ultraviolence.
- Florida kilos.
- Black beauty.
- Money, power, glory.
- West coast.
- Sad girl.
- Cruel world.
- Pretty when I cry.
- Old money
- The other woman.
- **** my way up to the top.

I want to put every song on the top of my ranking.

Still need to get into these:

Is this happiness.
Flipside.
Guns and roses.

I love this album so much.

Guys, did she get rid of the violin players from her band or they just didn't perform with her only in Sweden?

[WarmBudweiser]

The "Alleluia" part in Money Power Glory gives me life.

Am I the only one who likes The Other Woman as the closing track on the standard?
