I really love it too. Some songs are weaker or I don’t connect as much with them, but they all are very enjoyable to listen to. I get why it was considered a bit “all over the place” by some (HM being her most cohesive album, just released before her least cohesive sure didn’t help), but my life was a bit messy as well, so I connected with the vast majority of the songs on it. 

I really hope LDR9 is going into a bigger sound and production, with a couple of good singles. She needs to have a “hit”.

Full agree about everything. Some of my favorite Lana songs are on LFL.

The last three songs are some of her best. Change is almost prophetic of the pandemic and the pandemic fatigue (“it’s bitter, I’m coughing and now it’s in my blood” / “who am I to sympathize when no one gave a damn” / “there’s a change gonna come, I don’t know where or when” ). Norman also felt prophetic, at moments. Now I’m really curious about t he topics of this album, her post-pandemic  state of mind. 
(By the way, i really love talking to you and reading your POV on different topics )

Thank you, I really enjoy your posts too. Artists are often prescient and intuitive, and Lana certainly was also apocalyptic on ‘The Greatest’ as well as ‘Change.’ 
 

We know she’s had fantasies of the world’s end for some time, at least since ‘Last Girl On Earth,’ which I love.

thinking about how in 2017 ben or ed said that they spent extra long on the vinyl making process for this album and we only ended up with 1 color variant and a heart shaped 7"  still two of her most iconic pressings tho

I still have neither cause I didn’t start not being super broke til after LFL so I only have the black vinyl. I want them so bad they’re amazing 😭 Today I’m even less broke so slowly I wanna buy both and a couple more variants I’m missing so I can have a complete vinyl collection but they’re so damn expensive 😭 also worrying about the recession that’s probably coming who knows lol

you are not alone honey.

I know there are SO MANY L4L haters out there but this album is very special to me personally. It might not be her best work but it holds a lot of good summer memories i had with it in 2017.

love + lust for life = cuteness overloaded  so underrated tracks (not by the streams, but by the lack of appreciation from fandom). groupie love is also such a sweet one, i love the production

[revadece 1,435]

happy 5th anniversary to lana’s best album 

[Crimson and Clover 22,505]

This album truly makes me emotional. It was such a entering college album for me. It’s not my favorite but it’s possibly one of the most nostalgic records I’ve heard up to date. All songs make me nostalgic. And this era was unmatched <3 love you 

[Bird World 1,805]

I remember when I was listening to it for the first time  and I loved it  I don't listen to it often, but it forever will be a special album for me

[Pico Ocean Boulevard 41,094]

Happy 5th Birthday to Lust For Life  I can't believe it's been 5 years 

This summer I'm playing the album quite alot & I really fell in love with it again   

Such a special album somehow   Especially 13 Beaches is hitting again recently & almost every night I watch the stars & listen to Heroin & it's perfection. Heroin might be my new favourite from the album, the production & everything is just so stunning  & otherwordly  

She definetly  delivered some major career highlights!!

And yeah somehow I miss the LFL era so much...the livestreams , the album trailer,  the aesthethic, the radio  premieres , the Love music video , the "Love" poster, the first time listening to the album bc it was amazing,  the summer of 2017 in general

WTWWAWWKD (tied with Heroin and Get Free) is(are) still the best song(s) and TNC is still the worst

[GeminiLanaFan 49,049]

Happy birthday to you, Lust for Life!!

We first met on a trip to Scandinavia where we got acquainted and you’ve been part of my life since then. you will always have a special place in my heart. You might be a bit more « all over the place » than your sisters, more pop, but you’re a summer child, embodying quest for happiness, which is always messy. You came out at the right time for me and I enjoy going back to you these days. It’s easy to overlook some of your features, especially your « political side », but in these troubled times, they resonate so much more. You’re perfectly flawed, my dear. ❤️ U.

TNC is probably the only song from her that I prefer the demo better than the released version (the line about her singing with Sean negates the whole fucking song IMO )

5 years 💙🤍❤️

[SalvaWHORE 34,006]

Happy 5 years my darling Lust for Life.

Even tho I had been already a Lana stan waaaay before this album. But AFTER Lust for Life, everything changes forever. I knew that Lust for Life was THAT album Lana made for me & I knew from that very moment I press the play button, I had not only found the right artist to stan years before, but I also found a spiritual mother, a big sister i never had, a soulmate, a friend through the music.

Thank you for making summer 2017 my prettiest summer ever with most beautiful high school memories that I shall never forget.

 

And where the fuck are y'all? its my baby LUST FOR LIFE BIRTHDAY. C'MON NOW.
