Lust For Life - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

[Peachycream 3,648]

I have just realised LFL has gone from 9.3 user score in Metacritic to 7.9. People are trying to take it down and if you look at the latest user reviews, they are written by Lorde fans. They are coming for blood, aren't they?

They're evil

[Roll With me 5,667]

In the moment like this I always ask myself 'why're people stupid?' I know that they want all the best for Lorde but hating without even listening is just fucking stupid. We can do the same and give Lorde 0 but why? Melodrama is really good album and I don't see a point in this childish struggle. 

 

When LFL was released, many Lana fans were giving a 0 to Melodrama and it went from 9.1 to 8.9 because of Lana fans, so I guess this is their answer...

Fantano can have whatever opinion his stupid ass wants to have. Its just that if he wants to review lana he needs to stop being a dickhead on purpose. If you think about it, his lana reviews arent even reviews, theyre like "lana bashing time" or "judging the person instead of the music"

 

In each.single.one. of his lana reviews he brings up her SNL performance, her past lizzy career, her plastic surgery past, the guardian review, etc.

 

All things that have nothing to do with the actual album!

 

And he said he loved HM? How are you gonna love an album and then give it a 5/10? In America, thats failing a test.

 

The idiot can choke and his lana reviews shouldnt be taken seriously

 

Actually I don't care about Fontano. I don't watch his reviews cause I don't like his attitude in general and his sense of humour is just not my cup of tea. Since he gave BTD a 2 and UV a 3 I really can't take his scores serious, that's simply ridiculous.

 

But on a more general note – when I was younger I always thought that music reviews are important and that it's fun to trash "bad" albums (= albums I don't like). But nowadays I think it's just a waste of time to watch someone critizing an artists works – if I don't like a band I move on. Life's too short for boring music. A harsh review imho says more about the "flaws" of the reviewer's perception than about the shortfalls of an album...

 

Yes, maybe LFL would've been an even better album if Lana had left out 2 songs (f.ex. SB and IMF) and if Coachella had no cheap trap beats, so that probably blocks her from getting 10/10 reviews in the media like Lorde got. But that's  just personal taste and if Fontano doesn't like Lana – so what? We love her and that's all that matters.

I have a question did she lip sync White Mustang yesterday? i think she really did...

[Afterparty 3,025]

I dont think so, but on the setlist sheet it said *new BV* next to white mustang, so maybe thats what you're hearing

i tried to focus on her lips moves "at the end" they don't really match the songs so maybe only the end was like that

i don't think lip syncing BUT the track including vocals were really loud and sometimes she would sing along just whenever instead of the whole way through, you can hear how loud the backing was on the clip of UV when she avoids singing the hit with a kiss part lel. The vocal efforts were pretty meh.

it's live to me?

 

i mean there could be some backup vocals for the chorus to do the harmony and the whistling... but it's definitely live

[Yosemite 23,787]

I'm still sad bc some of you fuckers bought a million copies of the signed lfl and I couldn't buy one fucking copy bc of that 

[Terrence Loves Me 72,792]

My ranking for all her albums

 

UV > HM > LFL > BTD > P > AKA

 

(I do love AKA but out of all her albums i'd put it last just because it's quite mellow all the way through, however i do find it her most fascinating and unique style of work... great aesthetic)
