i dont hate lfl. i do find it to be a weak point in her discography, but even then i find born to die (in terms of sound + lyrics) to be even weaker and much less mature. what breaks my heart about the lfl era is how lana couldnt come up with one specific theme for the album... and concept albums are like, her thing. but the theme for lfl was all over the place and i believe thats what made her add last-minute reckless collabs and production changes to songs, making lfl sound the way it did
 
i constantly sit and wonder what the original lfl was supposed to be. was it supposed to be 60s/70s woodstock and nature themed with daisies and flower crowns? was it supposed to be futuristic with space & technology themes like in the love music video? was it supposed to be witchy and reference wicca, hence the "spell" pictures, lfl album trailer where shes a witch, and a collab with stevie nicks? was it supposed to be a melodramatic & attitude-filled transition to more modern hip-hop and traps beats to reflect current pop culture? was it supposed to be patriotic, hence god bless america, and old-fashioned with acoustics guitars and mustangs? like... what was lust for life intended to be ??
 
either we will never know, or lana held onto the concepts and saved them for a future record that could potentially be norman fucking rockwell
 
(basically what im saying is she had 5 or 6 wonderful album concepts and then tried to smash them all together and ended up making lfl more of a disappointing mess than it should have been)

read a post on this artists tumblr that i check up on that said, i quote, "Not to be sexist I just highly doubt Lana Del Rey lived in a trailer park djdkd her dad is a literal millionaire and i bet she just said that to build her image." i sent them the video of the 2008 lizzy grant interview, of her walking around the park... they replied back "ok so? i legit dont care."
 
if you... dont... care....... why did you make the post... you were obviously bothered   when youre wrong youre just wrong, thats how it is
 
tumblr is wild sometimes. (all the time)

i would prefer lana didnt make any music regarding azealia, for someone as famous and professional as lana to care about someone tiny and insignificant like her... shes just higher than that lol

Well based on everything she’s said about the writing process, it was supposed to be more in the vein of Honeymoon sound-wise with early Joan Baez and Shangri-Las influences. But after all the political turmoil she wanted to “update” the sound so it would be more connected to the present or something.So yeah. It’s really anyone’s guess but I’m inclined to believe it was a hybrid of more guitar/folk oriented tracks (Yosemite, Architecture) alongside tracks that had a similar vibe to Honeymoon (explains the orchestral sound in the demo versions of Love & 13 Beaches)
 
Older tracklists of LFL probably featured these songs as they were the earliest songs written for the record:
Love
13 Beaches
Groupie Love
Get Free / Malibu
Beautiful People Beautiful Problems
Heroin
Yosemite
Architecture
 
Interesting bit where she talks about why the theme of LFL changed the way it did and wasn’t so serious.
“I’m thinking about that. It goes in line with how I thought I was going to be in this more grown-up zone [writing this record], but actually I’m still somewhere right in the middle. When I think of that song I think of nighttime and this idea of, I don’t know, breaking into somewhere and carving up and kissing. That’s fun for me; like the place where I’m not 100 per cent in something really solid relationship-wise, where you’re still going out and meeting new people and all that stuff. And also, this Hollywood-centric environment is still an important thing that gives me life, being in town and the characters and the constant heatwave. It’s a little bit of a cliché – I totally get it; but I still feel like it enhances something in me that’s already cooking.”

Amazing post. My thoughts exactly

When she first performed in Finland in 2013 a couple of journalists accused her of using playback on the audience's part, as the audience's reactions and singing didn't feel very Finnish and the singing sounded like the audience had a Brittish acccent. Back then I didn't really (want to) buy it but last year when she performed here for the second time at Flow Festival, my friend had a morning shift because she worked there and took the evening off to see her with me, so she heard the soundcheck and sent me clips of Ride in which you can clearly hear an audience singing along loud af. I buy those accusations now 
 
Edit: Oh btw I don't mean to criticize her, for God's sake I stanned Britney for years. I guess it just makes Lana feel more comfortable on the stage.
 
 
 
and half-ass some vocals every now and then

finally see a fan who agrees, lol. her work during halfaxa + visions was her peak in my opinion, not that art angels was terrible or anything, but i do miss her old sound a lot

My problem with Art Angels is that it sounded like an album full of songs that sounded loke Grimes trying to make a (insert artist here) song. Like California just sounded like Grimes trying to make a Dolly Parton song, Flesh Without Blood sounded like Grimes trying to make a Paramore song. It just didnt do it for me. I feel like all her recent work is just her trying to make someone else’s songs
