I've been waiting for this day to finally come !! Happy Lust for Life Day lovelies
 

I just listened for the first time at the stroke of midnight, driving around downtown Minneapolis and I AM FUCKIN BLOWN AWAY. The album did, indeed, fuck my ENTIrE shit up. I hope Lana forgives us all for being such brats this whole time because she truly outdid herself with this one. I know we say it all the time, but we really don't deserve her lol. This album has a much clearer and more decipherable storyline than any of her previous albums. It's obvious but it also still leaves room for speculation and nuance. The ultra 60s shangri-las vibes from LFL and Get Free are excellent bookends. Get Free sonically imbibes LFL but the lyrics show the growth she's gone through since the beginning of the album. Ugh, perfect. And Change seriously sounds like a Lennon song. That's a huge compliment coming from someone who would probably literally eat John Lennon's shit (me). I cried so hard when I listened to it. And Sean and Lana sound so good together in Tomorrow Never Came. That was truly two worlds colliding for me, like a fuckin dream. I can't get over it. There are so many folky, hippie era moments, from the sassy hard-hitting political bits to the folky singer-songwriter bits. I wasn't expecting the album to be such a thorough tribute to the 60s and 70s. It's retro future for sure, but in a way more thoughtful and involved way than I anticipated. Also, we got EVERY kind of Lana vocal on here. We are so spoiled oh my god. I have officially PERISHED    I can't wait to spend every spare moment of my life absorbing this album over the coming days. 

Respect for our holy scripture pls thank u.

Just wanted to talk about how she writes "Lost for Life" above her handwritten tracklists, and I believe that @SuperMegaStan said it on the Instagram Updates thread, that maybe Lana is trying to convey that a "lust for life" is having a lust to find your way when you're lost in life.
 
I do believe that after Lana realized she wasn't in the spot where she thought she'd be when she finished working in LFL, she tweaked the album to fit where she was at - she didn't want ingeunine songs on the record that didn't reflect the state of mind she currently had.
 
I believe that's the reason why the album was delayed and why she writes "Lost for Life" at the top of the tracklist - she even said it in the Pitchfork interview - she doesn't know what the album is about, and she doesn't know where she's at. She's confused, hence, "lost for life." Anybody else agree, or see what I'm saying?

I'll pray for you and that disgusting mouth of yours. 

That horror film reference in 13 beaches made the song 100x times more interesting

I have everything planned, my bf goes out with friends the day of the release, and I will be home alone, and I am making an ultimate Lana evening.... alone I cannot decide: is it lame or amazing??

Do y'all know the feeling when you don't have to pee too bad but then you get close to the toilet and swear you're gonna explode if you don't piss that second.....
 
I've been a really patient fan this era but now I'm close to the due date toilet and need to hear this beautiful music...

Me and my friend are huge stans and she has a car, so we're gonna go for a long drive through the countryside, smoke a disgusting amount of cigarettes and listen to the whole thing together!

I wish LFL's artwork didn't irk me so much

I'm probably using an edit of either the back cover or the image with her leaning on the truck. Her smile seems so weird and off to me on the cover, and I've seen her smile plenty of times, so its not that. I also think the truck in the background is kind of ugly, but I still love Lana being in front of aesthetically appropriate vehicles for each record.
 
Imo she should've been in front of a hippie fan, or her and Chuck (and Neil  ) could've rented or got an old Volkswagen-Van and decorated the outside themselves. THAT would've been aesthetically pleasing, and relevant to the record sonically   
 
To me, there are elements of peace, love, and change throughout most of this era, but they didn't fully commit to it with the album cover photoshoot of all things   

I wish LFL's artwork didn't irk me so much

Me when LFL is actually good

I wish LFL's artwork didn't irk me so much

Oh honey don't worry! Lfl is just around the corner anyway. Let's save the unreleased tracks and demos for LDR6 pre-pre-pre-release era

This era is an iconic mess

Update: omfg these dumbasses actually thought that the youtube version was rare. They got SCAMMED
 
But there's still hope with one last trader. Brb

How does this sorcery even occur

don't put god's name in your mouth if you're not gonna leak her

About 90 hours to go until I get to walk into my local JB Hi Fi and ask a confused person working there about the record. (For Honeymoon, I arrived just after opening, and the woman who I asked about it had it in the box of CDs she was stacking the shelves with, and she still didn't know what I was talking about  )

blink twice if you're in danger

When it's finished you know what to do
