Slayer 9,227 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Not at all. It doesn't mean she kept the ballads that it's the same sound. I personally find it very different on many aspects and I love both albums UV is even closer to Paradise than it is to BTD imo and Mess at Adele's producer changing the label's mind Maybe I'm looking at it on the surface too much, as I haven't really focused on the lyrics, but to me her overall sound hasn't progressed at all. I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing because at least she has her own unique style, but it makes me wonder why Interscope didn't like it, considering it's exactly what I'd expect from a Lana del Rey album. I love judas SO MUCH but I canʹt look like a copycat of JLO!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitter 3,640 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Interscope was right, the album is too boring. BTD >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> BoredomViolence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She did keep the 'retro' sound but the music changed a lot. I've listened tons of times to BTD and it's not similar to UV and not just in the lyrics. UV's sound is way more acoustic and features less Hip-Hop beats than BTD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exoskeleton123 6 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Interscope doesn't know good music sometimes. Honestly I would love it if they let Lana and Gaga do what they wanted without trying to stop them like how they stopped Azealia Banks from releasing their albums.

Guest Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Why would they hate it? It's exactly the same sound as her first album. Not at all. Born To Die is way more commercial than Ultraviolence. Trip hop (I think that's what it's called) mixed with pop dominated on BTD while Ultraviolence is defined by guitars and an alternative sound Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie 5 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Well it didn't fair well commercially so their fears came true. WTF??! She sold more than Mariah, more than Britney, more than Pharrell, etc etc. and with no big single! 182,000 copies it's first week is nothing to laugh at. Gaga had Applause and DWUW in front of ARTPOP and she still barely sold 50,000 more. Lana had no hit single. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTPOP sold 76,000 more than UV in its first week not 50,000. And Do What U Want didn't even take off by the time ARTPOP came out. It's true radio and sales peak was around late December and it passed 1M in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordDisick 1 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Well it didn't fair well commercially so their fears came true. UV was her biggest opening to date. i wouldnt call that one of their fears. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagaMyBlood95 9,808 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 lol this only shows you how "organized" interscope employees are...Mess, Gaga really needs to find a new label as soon as her contract stops Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 What is so bad about that album? The label probably wanted a couple of songs that could be used as singles, at least on HAC. They probably hoped for something they could remix and send to Pop again. Instead they have an album with no options to those radio formats. lol this only shows you how "organized" interscope employees are...Mess, Gaga really needs to find a new label as soon as her contract stops That will be three or four years from now and all the majors are the same.

Maleficent 6 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 The album isn't bad, it's the best album of the year I love every single song of UV it's even better than the Fame Monster (for me), it's unique, different, and has a retro feel that I live for. It's by far the best album of the last 5 years (in my opinion). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
