Lust For Life - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

[Terrence Loves Me 71,607]

This album did not age well. I don't really listen to the songs on it anymore, which makes me sad because I quite liked it at first.

the only songs i hardly ever listen to are the political songs, and that isn't bitterness because they're political, they're genuinly bad songs

[Terrence Loves Me 71,607]

I'm so glad to finally see other people realise how bad of a song TNC truly is. I remember getting slandered into oblivion for being one of the first to call it out (along with @@hornymoon and @SGF ), we've gained so much more members since then! Well done guys. Together we WILL defeat the evil that is sean lennon

IT is truly weird but I still cherish the album and I still listen to Coachella..

 

And Coachella is and may be one of my fav Lana tracks all time wtfststxf

[yourboy 3,238]

Why do I look like an attention whore, I really do like Coachella  

ur really brave to admit that

I expected the backlash but it's always fun on LB

I hate how theoretical Sean's voice sounds. He doesn't sound natural at all. I really do like how current and in the moment Coachella sounds, and I would consider it a favorite if it had stayed an one off single. I think Lust For Life (the song) was changed from being a Bladerunner-esqe song to a generic pop track so it could get radio airtime in the states. I kind of feel the same about Summer Bummer, even though I think Groupie Love sounds more radio friendly and better over all. Also I feel like When the World Was at War was thrown on there so Lana wouldn't have dragged for staying apolitical. 

 

Saying all of this; it's not like LFL isn't filled to the brim with amazing songs. One bad track doesn't makes a bad album, or even make an album unimportant. So many influence artist have entire decades of bad music, and are still considered iconic. Heroin, Change, and Get Free are land markers in her career. White Mustang and Cherry are the best true blooded pop songs she's recorded since Kinda Outta Luck and You Can Be The Boss. Love is up there with Ride, Video Games, and Shades of Cool for my favorite singles. She collaborated with Stevie Nicks on this album; STEVIE NICKS. 

 

I really don't think Lana gets the credit she deserves from music publications or websites like rateyourmusic. She's something special.

 

 

 

tl;dr - I love Lana Del Rey

I can't remember when was the last time I listened to something else from the record than Cherry, White Mustang, Heroin or Get Free. Overall I liked this album a lot when it came out but I completely forgot about it after a while which is unfortunate. Maybe I'll listen to it in full on July 21st 

 

Edit: Oh yeah +13 Beaches

read the sign on the Statue of Liberty and abide by it

 

Wouldn't it be something if some DJ somewhere should play it and replay it and replay it

(are there any left??? In the 60s this would have been possible)-

 

Isn't it the way the legendary unique once in a generation artists are though.

Their music is timeless and the meaning of a song can mean so many things over the years

[ivy 1,693]

Can we take a moment to appreciate one of the best covers she's ever done...

 

 

She DID that

 

Which live version of SF do you guys listen to?

[Cherry on Top 395]

Lust for Life is aging like milk. Can't remember when was the last time I listened to the whole album. Said it before but... 13 Beaches, Cherry and White Mustang are the only songs worth rescuing from that wreck. Lucky enough for me, the 3 of them are together so I can listen to them without skipping.
