Personally I think  the haters of lust hate it because of the title, and the haters of it had a preconceived notion of what the entire album should mean
in their view, and that tainted the whole album for them from the start.  (not to mention didn't totally understand what she meant in remarks she made
that should or should not have been believed
 
and never actually gave it a chance that they should have.
 
My view is- they're lost and it's their loss.
 
Without Lust for Life there wouldn't have been anything before or after as it all is a continuation

Everyone has the right to their own opinion about LFL. I get that. But to call it trash and messy has always been an overeaction to me. Especially with people who listened to it two times (all of her albums are growers, some just need more patience than others). 
LFL did very well outside LB, and I find sometimes presumptuous to assume that we represent all of the fanbase.

=================================================================
 
History was made July 21, 2018 chart, when  Lana's Born to Die  has spent 312 weeks on the chart- SIX FULL YEARS
This thread started back the week of May 27, 2017 Billboard magazine chart issue,when Lana hit 275 weeks
on the Billboard 200 Album charts (this is the every genre, all album, old and new from the first charts to the current chart, best selling)
 
ON JAN. 16, 2018, FOR THE CHART DATED JANUARY 20, 2018, LANA ACHIEVED HER 300TH WEEK ON BILLBOARD 200 ALBUM CHART.
ON JULY 21, 2018 CHART- LANA NOTCHED THE 312TH WEEK, 6 FULL YEARS ON THE CHART.
 
background-
Lana Del Rey now proudly is in the Top 25 Albums of all time based on weeks on the chart, six full years
Only 24 albums in history have been on the chart for 300 or more weeks (it doesn't have to be consecutive)
Only 21 albums In history have been on the chart for 312 weeks or more (six full years)
And is now #3 for all female artists, all genres.
 
 
This achievement cannot be taken away, each week on the chart adds to the length of time,
and though like in baseball, others may reach the level, each person on the list has achieved history very few have.

(MEANING NOT GOING FOR SINGLES, BUT WANTING PEOPLE TO LISTEN AND SAVOR THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM CUT ONE TO THE END)
 
 
====================================================================
 
nice to see Rick Newells agrees with me
from the above interview-
 
Where do you feel this album fits into Lana’s catalog overall?
Lana is a career artist, a defining artist of her generation. I see her as a link on the chain along with Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, and all the great once in a lifetime singer/songwriters. She’s created her own language and her own genre. She’s always inspired and actively creating her body of work. This album is her next offering.
​

#1  Strangers on a Train- Robert Walker, Farley Granger, Ruth Roman, Pat Hitchcock, Marion Lorne-Alfred Hitchcock directed
#2 Mulholland Drive David Lynch's best
#3 Show Boat- Howard Keel, Ava Gardner, etc.
#4 Obsession- Brian DePalma's homage/copy of Vertigo Cliff Robertson, Genevieve Bujold, legendary very early performance by John Lithgow
#5 Downfall- Bruno Ganz as Hitler in the bunker the last days (how about a sequel with Bruno as DT(Indiv.1)
#6 Wuthering Heights- Laurence Olivier, David Niven

#20 Blue Velvet David Lynch
edit to add-
#20B Bridges of Madison Country- Meryl, Clint  (if one asked me, this goes well with the new "Mule" and Bridges is perhaps my
favorite love story tearjerker, and perhaps the only one that thinks about what about tomorrow (and as we know- tomorrow never comes)
or does it?

Something to keep in mind about how great Lust for Life was is and always will be
 
Lana reached #1 beating the boys at their own game. (and by boys I also mean the misogynist in the record industry and 99% it seems of djs
(and remembering that boys=band members historically in music as a generic term, aka players aka playas)
 
Whether or not the new album can do so, forever Lana got Lust for Life to #1 and did what alot of female singers since then have not been able to do- which is to
debut at #1  regardless of whether or not anyone cares about charts,forever on record, Lana did it, and has TWO #1 albums and what, 6 top 10 albums. and counting.
 
Personally, I find that damn impressive.
 
As for release date, most likely Lord Grange knows some inside info as to who when what why where will be releasing or dropping surprise and mid-year can be anywhere from April to Summer anyhow, being that now the 4th quarter is mostly holiday music and awards (and the music year runs somewhat Nov1 - Oct 31 give or take two weeks
depending on the awards.
 
Not to mention, Lana hit #1 with Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me  on the New Alternative Songs so bragging rights can say she hit #1 on the charts with it.
 
(and like the new record,  there is not one song about any specific person Lust for Life like Honeymoon was directly about her. and the tonal differences between first part last part goes to show there is no repetition of lyrics as one part is slightly meaningful in a different way (same with the songs that have followed).

Lana boards should be kept on Lana boards not off-board.
one shouldn't have to click offboard 
(though yes, as I found out myself,(when I realized certain posters were able to edit High by the Beach months or years later with an early post to claim they knew it was a helicopter when they didn't) with everyone changing their names but me, and with people editing days or weeks later, it is impossible to keep things honest.)  (as it turns out, how trumplike isn't it???

Whatever happened to honesty?

the song is 100% about herself
 
as such-
to be quite blunt-
 
anyone on line that posts negativity toward someone who is sad, is possibly contributing to a really bad thing happening, and is abetting that bad thing.
 
Read the bio of Sylvia and especially the part of her dad.  Read the entire bio.
 
then think back to her championing Daniel J and the true meaning of the song Terence Loves You
 
Also think of Elton and Bernie and the lyrics to the Captain Fantastic song "Someone saved my life tonight"
 
and then there is Brian Wilson.
 
that's my opinion.
