Lust For Life - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

[Terrence Loves Me 71,838]

Love is a boring and forgetable rehash of BtD's afterglow, a filler that made it to a single release. The music video has some nice shots but all those irritating teens make it look like a vodafone commercial.

Reported. Thank You.

Reported. Thank You.

Carefully re-read your own statements about Heroin and log off. Thanks

Lust For Life would have been one of her best era had it been promoted with the right singles & visuals. The gems from the album never got any video while ones we got for the Weeknd-esque (trap) songs from the album were very messy, uninspired & non-cohesive.

 

70's flower child, hippie theme similar to the album cover would have worked great with storylines from that era. Get Free, BPBP, TNC, Heroin (has direct reference to the Manson Murders), Change are all about the 70s summer of love era.

 

LFL might be a commercial success but on the long run this era will not get the respect it deserves. I can't believe she didn't even promote Heroin, Get Free, 13 Beaches when they are fan-favourites.

 

The saddest part is that she was more creative when it came to visuals in the A.K.A era when she had no budget than she is now when she is swimming in money & has a creative team.

Saying I wish Lana did promo on tv is such a broken record now, but....... I really wish she did promo on tv.

[harveyswife 452]

This era really lacked a driving vision like she had in her previous eras. LFL ended up being a strange mix of vaguely political songs, attempts at being upbeat and positive, trap music, weird folksy songs, and even a random piano ballad. Like it's just all over the place and I think that's because she wasn't sure what she wanted to do and ended up never committing to anything. Adding half-baked songs randomly at the end with awful production, removing songs when she already filmed a video.... One thing she always did in all of her previous albums was commit to a vision and pursue that - it's what made her albums and visuals so cohesive and all of her eras distinct. She used to do an amazing job of crafting the music, the visuals, the lyrics, everything into a really cohesive album/era experience. I think one of the reason this era comes off as bland is because she never quite made up her mind what she wanted this album to be, and by never committing the work becomes sort of underwhelming.

 

All this to say.... "promo" would really not have made this era better, except for increasing her sales. The problem isn't promo, it's that she didn't have a coherent vision for L4L.

Roachella and Grubby Love are the worst songs on lfl, but we already knew that right

GBA, TNC and GF slander!?!??!? in this economy

[latothemoon 11,828]

People need to stop whining about thinking Lana's signature on their signed shit is fake. It's annoying omfg the signatures don't even look remotely fake or significantly different than usual, no one's signature looks the same each time. She literally said they're all real she wouldn't straight up lie to the world lol. You paid for a signed item and it's exactly what you got so stop complaining if it doesn't look perfect.

Certain songs just deserve to be slandered.

Imagine thinking a normal person can perfectly sign so many copies without the signature looking different  

[HunterSThompson 4,644]

Don't hate on me but I genuinely don't understand all the luv for Get Free, the beginning is awesome but it gets so discordant afterwards I wish I could love it

The pre-chorus/chorus is produced terribly and the Ride references are so obvious and tacky!

[Beautiful Loser 46,449]

Ok I have to confess, what is the Ride reference in Get Free? I haven’t got it yet and I feel stupid when I see someone mentioning it here. Lemme know too, please.

[salvatore 21,763]

i can't remember which user made the staus but i cant get out of my head the concept of Lana goes tropical/more Hawaiian glamrock n hazyness for her next era with her main flower focus being Hibiscus so like the smokiness and elegance of HM with flavors of UV instrumentals n just ughhh

 

im ready to make a mf pre-pre-release thread and just have the whole thing be a gotdamn luau
