The return of the queen of melancholy, Ultraviolence which is Del Rey's second major album release (but third overall) is really just a rehash of what made "Born to Die" so great. That being said it doesn't diminish Ultraviolence in the slightlest, if it's even more possible she sounds more detached and emotionless than she did on "Born to Die". The are few bright spots here; I mean as far beats go with "West Coast" being the best example. The lyrics are just as clever as any you'll find on "Born to Die". The tracks range from depressing to funny. I know I shouldn't like a song about domestic violence but the title track is among the best here (a lot of people got upset about this but Janet also released a song like this on Velvet Rope). 'I _My Way Up to the Top" is the funniest track here with lyrics "You got nothing, I got tested, and I passed" yeah its social commentary about some of the girls in the industry without pointing fingers (which too many artist do). "Money Power Glory", "Cruel World" ,"West Coast" "Shades of Cool" and "Brooklyn Baby" being the among the highlights of the release and do yourself a favor and just stick to the standard version of this album the deluxe version doesn't add anything interesting to it
