Lust For Life - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

[American Bottom 16,237]

Well since we're saying goodbyes..heres mine.

 

Honestly HM was my first era experience. And it was the most boring thing ever. Waiting for MTWBT made me want to pull my hair out. But this Era..wow. I'll never forget the breath of life we all got when those Love posters popped up all over LA. Bar Leaking. All the magazines. Waking up to Coachella on YouTube, followed by questioning Lanas mental state after hearing it. The LFL video premiering while i was in the middle of Spanish class, and me Getting kicked out due to freaking out when lana started dancing in the beginning. And Don't even get me started on the May 26th debacle But, nevertheless. It was amazing to behold, and this fandom is one of the funniest and dysfunctional groups of people I've ever met. Can't wait to do it all again in the next era.

GOODBYE LUST FOR LIFE ERA

[annedauphine 34,573]

Out of the two eras I've been through this was by far my favourite and I listen to it every day

[Make me your Dream Life 83,211]

For me, the LFL era was the first era that I basically got to share with my friends in pieces, and we'd drive around looking for the Love posters, the (Young and In) Love mini era was amazing.

 

Waiting for the record, through dates on magazines, and finding out about July 21st fam, was death on here (magazines were still beautiful). Then came out more magazines, festival performances, and shows, the roll out of music videos.

 

I honestly don't think that I'll be leaving this album any time soon. It's been new, but at the same time, it carries a lot of significance for me, and well it doesn't seem to be leaving any time soon. Lust for life, it's been a hodgepodge of an album, but somehow still connects, and I can appreciate that.

 

I'll be listening to my fave tracks on it, driving out to somewhere hot, with the windows down, feeling the dry air while the scenery changes.

 

I wonder how that's all gonna change when she releases something new.

Just saw this on YT. Not sure where to put it so enjoy. Blue Jeans in French. Beautiful woman and beautiful voice. Listen she says "Jean Blue".

that's interesting! Markus Bagå, the designer responsible for the cover art, is very inspired/influenced by old album covers so who knows if that one was a direct inspo! tho personally i think it's prob just a coincidence, since a lot of covers back in the 70s had a similar design and that album is p obscure. i still think the typography they chose for LFL was directly inspired by Neil Young's Harvest Moon (especially since both Lana & Markus are obv fans).

this is too much of a coincidence, its literally the same artwork but with different colors and arrangements asdkdggkg

 

Lana first copying the instrumental/chord progression of Heroin, Get Free, and now this?

This is......yikes I'll defend her for a lot of things, but this is inexcusable

What was that?

[GeminiLanaFan 45,825]

What was that?

 

May 26 was the date we all thought Lana was gonna release LFL. That date came from a website that announces all upcoming albums, but the post was taken down a couple of hours after we found out. It was weeks later that Ben, her manager, told the album would come out later in the summer or order to include more collaborations. Lana confirmed later that it would be released on July 21.

What was that?

I believe May 26 was a possible date for the album to come out and most likely the one that was planned all along, until Lana decided to go back to the record and add more songs. Either way, whether it was May 26 or July 21, Interscope most likely wanted to have a number 1 album, so it needed a date where no big artist released something on that same day.

She used the same font for LFL as the Video Games single, no? There are a lot of album covers with a "frame" around them. I'm calling coincidence on this. 

[bummersummer 2,217]

 

this person doesn't know what sampling is lol, the only one that fits that term is 13 beaches (which genuinely surprised me, i thought it was lana speaking). the heroin/princess chelsea "sample" is a huge reach bc unlike get free/radiohead it doesn't even use the same 4 chords (tho i def think both songs have a similar vibe).

13 Beaches: I agree wholeheartedly

 

Heroin: I actually think the beginnings are very similar and would’ve honestly thought that’d be the lawsuit one, not Get Free

 

Get Free: I see no similarity between the two songs at all
