Omg sis expose me

I love in Heroin when Lana sings "like the heavy metal that you hear" because in the background you hear a heavy metal guitar riff for like 1 second. Such a classic touch.

Omg henny receipts

Omg I'd fuck

And he dropped to #3 because a fucking Disney Channel movie soundtrack snatched his weave.

I'm still lol'ing at the fact that Lana hasn't once tweeted the link for LFL or even put it on Instagram with a broken link like she usually does. But she's still #1. We're basically just encouraging her laziness at this point

If LINKIN PARK's entire discography wasn't charting so high on iTunes, "Lust For Life" (the song) would be Top 100 right now on US iTunes.

I know she's still developing her live performances of LFL songs but she better eventually be performing Get Free, Heroin, Summer Bummer, GBA, WAR, and 13 Beaches live as often as she performs all these 6 year old songs from BTD.

Sometimes I wonder if Lana forgets that she's literally put out 5 albums, one of them (her magnum opus) being released only two days ago. Why even perform live if you're going to use the same setlist for 6 years straight. Girl I get that BTD has the most well-known songs but use this as an opportunity to get new music known, you know, the music you claimed you made specifically to perform live????

:gclap: Never said you were the "u in our". I said "so many of you" not "all of you"?? It was an apparent (maybe "unfair") generalization, sorry if it felt like a personal attack lmao. I clearly wasn't referring to every single user on LB, but at least a good chunk, myself included. In the meta critic thread, almost everyone was saying the album would get a solid 70-75 score, myself included, because we thought they'd rat on the album for being incohesive and too long and anytime a polarizing, controversial artist like Lana chooses to take on a more sensitive and political narrative, it's a risk. I read at least 10 posts in the past few pages of people saying Meek Mill or Jay-Z (with the help of TIDAL's skewed numbers) will likely snatch the #1 or that it is hard to believe that "she may end up with a US #1 afterall" so, k, don't bookmark me if you don't want to, couldn't care less sweaty. I guess I'm glad someone else considers the #1 a safe bet.

Girlies can we just acknowledge how LFL is Lana's most critically acclaimed album (despite our assumptions) and is still selling extremely well in the US and has been #1 ever since it's release two days ago (despite our assumptions) and she is doing very well with streaming too (despite our assumptions). Lana delivered with this album. There's something for everyone. The masses can see its appeal and so can her die-hard fans. Very smart sonic move on her part. ALSOOOO I can't believe so many of you think Lana won't be getting that US #1 debut? The fuck?! She's outselling everyone else digitally right now, her streams are exceeding Meek Mill's by a lot and this is without promo. She will be #1 bookmark me.

It probably was originally, which is why Lana said it was so dark, but then she realized that if she didn't provide an optimistic response that it wouldn't contribute to anything positive and would be too negative.

I have just read a proven fact. Everyone in my life literally knows about Lust For Life because I've been tirelessly promoting it in person and on all my social media platforms and many people, such as my best friend, cousin, etc. who haven't cared for Lana's music since BTD or ULTRA are so in love with LFL (a la me). It's so exciting to see so many new people appreciating Lana's new album, her magnum opus. If only her fucking fans could do the same. PS: I posted a pic of my physical LFL CD on my Instagram "finsta" account and have only 37 followers there and the photo almost has 600 likes. Lana's impact. I thought she had liked it herself because i don't understand how it could get so much attention otherwise.

Eliminate: Coachella Immunity: Get Free

The chorus is so unexpected an is such a soothing, uplifting tonal shift yet it's a bit haunting. This album has so many unexpected melodic turns and production touches hidden beneath the top surface. Get Free, in my opinion, is the best song she's ever released. I was weary of saying that yesterday when first hearing it but now, after several listens, and still being blown away every time, I can confirm that Get Free is Lana's magnum opus. Goodbye OTTR and Shades of Cool.

Someone please record the livestream

Wow just listened to the album for a third time and I honestly think Get Free is the best song Lana has ever released. This album has so many unexpected turns melodically, its phenomenal. That chorus! And WAR and Heroin are also just so lush and rich yet so different from anything I've ever heard from any artist. I honestly think this will surpass ULTRAVIOLENCE for me. Never thought I'd be able to say that and it took me much longer to appreciate ULTRA. So happy I didn't cancel my signed LFL vinyl.

I finally got around to listening to the record from start to finish. I don't drove up and down the scenic drive of northern Minnesota, overlooking the cliffs onto the shimmering blue waters. The album didn't spark much inside My on first listen but on my way back from where I turned around, when the skies turned a dark grey before a huge flash flood hit, I listened to the album again and fell in love. Here's what I think of each track: LOVE: the perfect way to start off any album, especially this one. The iconic bass-line intro is instantly entrancing and recognizable. Although I've overplayed the hell out of this track, it's still one of the strongest on the record. The lyrics are beautiful and the melody is oddly uplifting; something new for Lana. The chorus is beautiful and showcases her range. 8/10 LUST FOR LIFE: this is better when listened to in context of the entire album. The vocal layering is slick and exciting and Lana and Abel's voices actually mesh very well here. I can't believe this didn't become at least a moderate hit. It's catchy and simple. Definitely not the best off the album but an exciting, acceptable placeholder. 7/10 13 BEACHES: on first listen, I wasn't too moved by any of it. I loved the orchestral introduction and the spoken-word sample from "Carnival of Souls". I honestly thought the female voice was Lana's. After listening with headphones instead of on car speakers with the windows down, I picked up on many intricate details hidden in the production that make this song so perfect. The little "clicks" and "beeps" that sound like signal radars throughout the verses are haunting. The flute in the second verse is so elegant and entrancing. It really seems like a lot of extra time was put into elevating this song with the little production tricks and it paid off. The chorus features Lana shifting down to a lower octave than she sings in the verses which is unorthodox, but Lana always mixes things up (i.e. West Coast chorus). The she sings "that I'm dying" at the end of the chorus, my body got chills. Her voice sounds beautiful and it seems like a melody I never expected her to sing. This will continue to grow on me as I begin to master the melody. 9/10 CHERRY: so good. I loved the live version and actually love the album version even more. The chorus is simple and catchy and the song is just short enough so that things don't drag on and become repetitive. The guitar gives me Ultraviolence teas and the man yelling "yeah!" during the verses is haunting and exciting and reminds me of Born To Die. I actually love the added "fuck!" and "bitch!" throughout the track. Is it random? Yes. Is it necessary? No. But it makes the song more exciting and the song is given more personality this way. She sounds pissed at the end when she says "bitch" and I love her voice when she says it. It's random but it's iconic. 10/10 WHITE MUSTANG: short but sweet. The song doesn't seem very short when listening to it in full. In fact, if the song was longer, it would get boring. The chorus is literally two words repeated so it's smart of Lana to keep it short. The song thrives through its storytelling verses. The melody is enchanting and instantly "Lana". It's perfect. The bridge threw me off because it seemed so disconnected from the rest of the song but I'll get used to it. The whistling at the end is something new for Lana and it sounds a bit tacky to me, but I know I won't care after a couple listens. 8/10 SUMMER BUMMER: definitely thought I'd dislike this song after finding out it was a collaboration with rapping involved. To my surprise, it's one of my favorites. The song flows very well (in both versions) and Rocky's verse, although longer than necessary, actually elevates the song rather than takes away from it. The bridge of Lana "sing-rapping" is so sexy and is an album highlight. The siren vocals at the end are very enthralling and they captivate the listener, keeping the listening experience very interesting. Only gets better with each listen because it's so different from anything Lana's done before, which is why I love Ultraviolence, it's unexpected. 9/10 GROUPIE LOVE: I thought I'd love this one after hearing the first initial snippet but it's not my favorite. The pre-chorus melody mixed with that guitar riff is beautiful. The chorus is trippy and very sexy, but the lyrics are not her best and the Rocky verse, although thankfully short, is so corny. The "watching my bae" line just makes me cringe. It's definitely going to grow on me like all her songs do, but right now it's one of the most forgettable tracks on the album. 7/10 IN MY FEELINGS: this track is fire! The lyrics, the melody, the cadence in Lana's voice, everything is so sexy and edgy. This is Lana like we've never seen; fully aware, unapologetically confident, and fucking raging. The fact that she confirmed the track is about G-Eazy only confirms that this song is one of the best off the album. The chorus melody is extremely catching and when she sings "driving in my sleep again", I get so excited. Something about her voice; it's so sexy. The only complaint here is the dull production. Maybe it's because it comes right before the production mess that is Coachella, but the production could've been more exciting. However, it does force more attention to be put on the lyrics and vocals which is a plus. 9/10 COACHELLA: still my least favorite track. There are far too many words crammed into the verses and pre-chorus. Although 3-page-long verses worked well in other Lana songs such as "Off To The Races" and "Blue Jeans", it just seems so jumbled here. It's as if she's singing off beat because she's trying to fit every thought into a melody that was originally intended to be sung as a slower ballad. The chorus is promising melodically but the vocal effect is very lazy and boring. The outro would be one of the album's best moments but because it closes such a lackluster song, it loses its gleam. That drum line throughout is so repetitive, it's frustrating. Not as bad as some people like to pretend it is, but it's still pretty bad. 6/10 GOD BLESS AMERICA: absolutely stunning. The guitars in the beginning is almost exactly like the beginning of ABBA's "Chiquitita" and I love it. It sounds almost tropical but also so spacious. The verses are sung so softly and beautifully that by the time that big chorus comes, it's meant with such triumph. Truly the perfect song to play as you watch the fireworks shoot across the sky on the Fourth of July. The chorus melody is beautiful and the key changes throughout the verses make the song more experimental sounding. 10/10 WORLD AT WAR: continues seamlessly after "God Bless America". The production here is so calming and beautiful. The guitars create a sound Lana's never experimented with before. I've never heard a song like this from ANY artist. This song is melodically and instrumentally innovative. The pre-chorus reminds me of "Cruel World" and the chorus is so long which makes the song so good. The melodies throughout are so exciting. On first listen, I thought it sounded boring, but once I really listened to the melody and harmonies, I realized just how electrifying this song is. The lyrics are some of the best on the album and make me view Lana in a different way. She seems edgier and more "holy" here because she's singing from a far less self absorbed perspective than her past work. It's a definite shift in narrative and I'm totally here for it. 10/10 BPBP: I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this song after hearing opinions from others who had already heard it. I will admit that Stevie's voice in contrast to Lana's is a bit riveting, but once you get past the fact that that's simply Stevie's unique tone, you can appreciate the adorable melody and the beautiful lyrics. I love the chorus. It's very simple but still so captivating. I, for one, have always loved Stevie's voice so I'm happy to hear her voice on a track with Lana's; another voice I love. The ending could've been more polished and honestly should've been a little longer. 8/10 TOMORROW NEVER CAME: still not very into this track but I know I'll end up adoring it after a few more listens. The production is different for Lana; very western, desert vibe with a bit of southern twang. Sean's voice is odd but it does fit very well with Lana's. The lyrics here are beautiful but the melody is one you have to dig for in order to appreciate, which is why I know I'll love it eventually. The songs that have melodies that aren't instantly catchy or recognizable usually have the longest longevity. 7/10 HEROIN: the first couple seconds of this song are very atmospheric and beautiful. The lyrics are haunting and sad but I love them so much because they are written so well. One of the best songs Lana's ever made, lyrically. The melody is very catchy as well. The "it's fucking hot! Hot!" part comes out of nowhere and seems a bit disconnected from the rest of the track but it really awakens the listener and commands that they pay attention. It's a very melodic song and the dark message makes the song all the better. 9/10 CHANGE: Definitely better than I excepted after hearing the first two snippets. The chorus is beautifully written, the melody is rich, and the lyrics are very important and relatable. I like that it's just Lana's voice over a simple grand piano. The song signifies a future shift in Lana's musical narrative. You can tell here that she wanted to go all out political with this album but still hadn't fully "changed" yet. 8/10 GET FREE: the hype around this makes total sense. The lyrics are top-notch and the melody is captivating and spacious. I first listened to this while sitting on a huge rock ledge, overlooking the spacious blue waters of Lake Superior on this warm, summer night and the waves licked the rocks beneath me. It's the perfect song for sitting and contemplating. It's uplifting and cozy. The melody in the chorus is unexpected and Lana sings it with a lighter tone than she has since her Lizzy Grant days. I didn't except the song to be so melodic and I expected it to be slower. The final minute of the song which features nothing but the sound of waves upon the shore and seagulls gawking is the ideal way to end such a beautiful album. It signals towards a more promising future. The album's highlight. 10/10 This very well may surpass ULTRAVIOLENCE as my favorite album from Lana. I can see me begging for more songs like "GBA" and "WAR" prior to her next release. Very interesting melodies and production twists. I love that Lana still isn't afraid to try new things and takes risks while still always maintaining her unique, ethereal sound.

Still haven't listened to the album lol. Do I drive around on first listen or walk while listening?

LFL is currently #1 on iTunes in 55 countries. That's insane. I'm so proud.

BTW just spammed my Instagram story. Gotta come through with that promo for the queen since we know she'll go dead silent in 12 hours!

OMFG SHE SANG YOSEMITE?!! WHAT! RECEIPTS! queen getting those first week Spotify streams directly from the source. #1 and 300,000+ pure sales incoming.

GET LFL BACK TO #1 on US iTUNES. I want justice! Linkin Park is great and I feel so bad for the man who lost his life today but that album is truly horrific and it flopped for a reason. Simply buying it because he passed away seems very ignorant and disrespectful. #BuyLustForLifeOniTunes why aren't we trending this? not according to my phone

She just sang Serial Killer acapella. Flawless.

Ugh Lincoln's Park is blocking Lana from #1 I'm sorry but this isn't okay with me but
