imagining the magical, troubling serve lust for life could have been, thinking about lana's understanding of alchemy and its association with drugs 

LFL could’ve been so fucking good if she stayed with the direction she was going in. In all honesty I think LFL is a stain on her discography. the era slapped with all the beautiful magazine covers and photo shoots but the album tracks are so horrible…. i don’t listen to anything from that album. every song is a skip except wtwwawwkd and heroin. i loved the album when it first came out but i’m 20 now and as i got older i just realized how it just seemed like a grab at her seemingly fading relevancy. And it worked for her. but i think i wanted something that was more personal, something that genuinely contributed to the world. I think if LFL never happened, Honeymoon from 2015 to NFR! in 2019 would’ve been a career highlight (even though it is already), it would’ve gotten even more critical acclaim, and it would’ve been much more loved by the fans because the NFR hate i see every day is so indigestible to me. I’m lowkey rambling at this point, but i just mean that LFL either 

A. shouldn’t exist

B. should’ve gone with her witch of alchemy theme

C. should’ve had a different album cover

Just a quick shower thought: we don't have more post-UV unreleased stuff, because even the concept demos are too good to be leaked. Fr, I was remaking my unreleased collection and while I was organizing LFL, I came to the conclusion that she really outdid herself after the UV/HM era, On&On and Valley of the Dolls are masterpieces and they're not even finished songs, the later one is a freaking concept demo. She set a very high quality standart for herself during the more recent album sessions. I wonder how many magnum opussies from NFR and COCC are just waiting to be leaked by Honeymouns or whoever...

Heroin, Change, 13 Beaches and Lust for Life (Demo) should've just been put in Honeymoon and LFL should've never happened.

I think this just shows how much faster girls mature than boys. 

[Taco Truck x VB 3,613]

i just made a song (i’m a singer) and it sounds like something straight off UV. very proud.

I could agree if we included Tomorrow Never Came. Perhaps an alternative to Sean Lennon's contribution would make this song more lovable to others? And the album cover is one of my favorites, so I wouldn't want to do away with that. She is perfection in her lacy dress with daisies in her hair. 💙

Even though it has its flaws, I wouldn’t erase Lust for life at all. The last 4 tracks, especially Get Free, are career highlights.

 

I just wish the track list was edited, that’s all.

[Three White Butterflies 27,532]

well i am still enjoying the fuck out of blue banisters how about ya'll

Lust for Life has some of the best songs Lana's ever made, I cannot believe this slander  One day the Honeymoonifcation (everyone hating it and then a few years later everyone loves it) of Lust for Life will happen 

[Cherry Blossom 21,690]

i cant with people saying lust for life needs to be removed  i do think what we ended up with could have been WAY better and i mean WAY better but i still love what we ended up with.

However Id love to hear more finished outtakes from the album sessions (cough roses bloom for u) so i can make my own album tracklist to see if it sounds better

 

Spoiler

Okay actually I would go back in time and scream at Lana in the studio and make her replace every track after Cherry and before Beautiful People with Serene Queen, Yosemite, Best American Record, Roses Bloom For You and replace lfl with demo 2

i'm SO fucking here for NFR outtakes!!

[Rachel97 1,525]

I just can't hate any album with Heroin, 13 Beaches and Get Free on it

 

It wouldn't really make sense to get rid of it as she said it was the album for the fans (even though the fans are divided), and NFR was more watered down for critics (and it's a fan favourite)

the day we get a nfr outtake i think i’ll die

i don't like the muffled vocals on bpbp

Coachella was good. Y’all just hate world peace

[Super Movie 51,953]

The only issue I have with Coachella is that the production gets a bit messy towards the end, which can make that last minute/minute and a half or so a bit hard to listen to. At the same time, though, I almost wonder if that was done of purpose to represent the franticness for Lana searching for meaning in the world after the 2016 election. But I love the chorus and the lyrics. I think it's one of Lana's most introspective songs.
