Maybe the discussion is best served elsewhere, but I'll have my last say in here now.

Her lyrics are sometimes lame (though I don't think they are actually that bad on Ultraviolence) but I think there is an element of satire in there that often gets overlooked. I don't think she is always trying to come across as a bad ass or however you might perceive her to be.

Beyond that, the production is absolutely lush. I would assume there's plenty of "Dream Pop" styled albums out there that you probably like with far worse production, and not necessarily much better lyrics.

As for her voice... It's simply not in any doubt for me. Live? Yeah, hit or miss (mainly miss), but on this record she is superb.
