Lust For Life - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

[Amadeus 11,334]

she should've stuck to doing an album she wanted!

we all know she secretly didn't wanna do this kind of record.

 

but i don't get where this hate is coming from.

 

ya'll wanted this bop album.......ya'll loved it

 

now i see all this hate.

 

i'm so confused.

okay not to @ u but jesus can we stop this "she doesn't enjoy the music she makes once it's not 7 minute long songs with 38 bpm" bs finally.

she can make her own decisions and is not bound to no producer, co writer or collab. she does what she wants though and considering she listens to hip hop herself i don't think her music is forced on her by anyone.

[WildMustang 14,759]

She even said Summer Bummer is her favorite song she made in a while

[Terrence Loves Me 72,695]

Lust for Life is a fucking godlike album, Okay so it has it's imperfections (IMF,Coachella) But pretty much every album out there has at least one or two bad songs. I love the record so much 

[Future Jazz 9,194]

Well I find LFL more cohesive than UV and HM, it's how I feel it, it has this general coherent vibe that comes through better than her other albums did

[ultrababy 3,445]

UV ≥ HM >>>>>> LFL = BTD

[LanaCharts 1,980]

WM is coming

[lustforlife 19,008]

She takes off all the lives date did she canceled everything or that means the tour dates are coming???

I HAVE MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT THIS POST BECAUSE YEAH IT'S TOO MUCH HATE ON THAT GODDESS BUT THEN "BETTER THAN MOST OF LFL" I'M CONFUSED

Well he did not lie. Are there any songs on L4L that are better than Diet Mountain Dew? I am waiting.

Okay of course there are, like the strongest tracks but even as DMD is one of the weaker songs on BTD it's still better than at least half of L4L. I think it's because that one actually captures an aesthetic and does a good job at that.

There are 11 songs in LFL better than DMD. Some examples:

1. The obvious Heroin
2. Change
3. Get Free
4. Love
5. Cherry
6. BPBP

Edit: rest of the list:

      7. TNC

      8. WTWWAWWKD

      9. GBA

     10. 13 Beaches

     11. White Mustang

 

Okay no, there's 11 songs better than DMD and I wanted to include GL but I don't think it really is.

[Slumdog 817]

I think Lust For Life would have been a better opener for the album than Love.

she's been listening to hip hop her whole life so what's your excuse for her albums AKA, UV, &HM?

imf and coachella are good tho!

imf was a better slay than the mess of a slay g-eazy tried to do back lol

 

UV ≥ HM >>>>>> LFL = BTD

you forgot AKA!

The only kinda forced bop on the record is In My Feelings and it's great, the other bops are there naturally because of her talent (Cherry, SB, GL, WM) 

i don't think any of the bops were FORCED ... like she can clearly make them because she's talented lol.

i'm just saying, the fans are kinda lie "BTD 2.0!!!!!!!!" and i can just picture her rolling her eyes lol

[Cloudbusting 5,382]

She also listens to blues, pop and rock (and kinda(?) jazz for the last one)

[cheaptrailertrashglm 3,529]

What makes you think she didn't want to do a record like this?

AKA, UV, HM.

i know, lol that wasn't the point i was trying to make.

just because she likes a genre doesn't mean she wants to make an album of that genre but sometimes the industry demands shit and you gotta do that shit.

But she likes changing the sound. BTD is not similar to UV, UV is not similar to HM, HM is not similar to LFL, and LFL is like a combination of the 3 (in some songs) and also it has it's own style (tracks 6 - 11) I don't think the industry made her do it, she did it like that because she wanted to.

[LaMartine 1,201]

I don't think her label would want to make her do anything, she does what she likes. at least that's how i see it from what happened during the (pre) uv era

You have a good point. Record companies can have specific demands they want a certain artist to meet that's strictly within their genre. Do people honestly think Interscope would let Lana (an alt pop artist) make a heavy metal album if she wanted to? Nope.

[Slumdog 817]

If I remember correctly, Dan Auerbach talked about it. He said that Lana kind of put up with people at her label but he didn't  and that's why Ultraviolence ended up the way it did. Correct me if I'm wrong because I don't want to make stuff up. Not saying with Lust For Life it's the same, but it can happen.

[salvatore 21,769]

i jus wanted to add my 2 cents in

 

i dont fucking appreciate all this goddamn diet mountain dew slander
