Lust For Life - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

[loleetah 4,084]

So upon my first listen I wasn't wowed but I'm listening to the tracks one by one and starting to form my thoughts on it.. my only real criticism is the writing. 

We went from this

And I'm off to the races, cases of Bacardi chasers
Chasin' me all over town 'cause he knows I'm wasted,
Facin' time again on Rikers Island and I won't get out
Because I'm crazy baby, I need you to come here and save me
I'm your little scarlet, starlet, singin' in the garden
Kiss me on my open mouth
Ready for you

 

To this

Hey, what you doing?

Not a lot
Shaking and moving
In a local spot
Baby don't ask me why
Don't ask me why
(Why, why, why, why, why, why?)

 

Some moments have really strong writing harkening back to older material but at times it just seems so lazy, especially when we know what Lana is capable of.

I think this is an album I will listen to one by one, not all at once like I do with UV and BTD. When listened to sequentially I sadly felt myself getting a little bored

The opening of White Mustang sounds kinda like Video Games to me, anyone else hearing this too?

[floridakilo 6]

Get Free sounds like an exact cross between Creep by Radiohead and Falling by Julee Cruise.

 

Incredible album all the same. Slowly processing it all.

 

13 Beaches, Cherry, When the World Was at War We Kept Dancing and Tomorrow Never Came all masterpieces.

[Coney Island King 26,002]

I never hated Coachella but didnt love it, its really growing on me within the context of the album, im starting to really like it.

 

Also, ive been playing all the new songs so much, i played Love first time since hearing the whole album 18 times and it still really is such a beautiful song, i love it.

Lmao

Did they snatch @Stargirl 's joke? smh

 

Btw many have said it but that line in Get Free: I wanna get off but I keep riding the ride makes me think that those theories saying "this album is the closure to an era that has started since BTD" are true. Well, kinda obvious with the album name lol. Maybe not the total closure but she's trying to move on.

[FrankNotOcean 1,146]

TNC is THAT song

[Lanalouis1 2,511]

Lana's melody in the bridge of TNC sounds SO like Stop Lite De-Lite

Same..she is dumbing the world she made with all of these albums and joins the real world...and LFL is the transition

[Mafiosa 1,089]

the more i listen to "white mustang" the more i think it's a euphemism for dick

gives me serious "little red corvette" vibes

[latothemoon 11,845]

Lana is part of MTV Hottest, get ready to vote bitches https://twitter.com/mtvmusicuk/status/888745467172995072

[Trash Magic 28,370]

Get Free chrous is on some mamas and papas shit

[loleetah 4,084]

Cherry would probably have been my favorite songs if it weren't for the "BITCH"es and "FUCK"s they're so messy     Has anyone edited them out yet

nnn sure you can isolate that one case (and LFL definitely has its fair share of lazy lyrics) but TNC's lyrics when looked at as a whole are better than probably anything off of BTD   I dunno but if you're gonna talk about strong writing I don't really think off to the races is an example to "harken" back to, it's so full of clichés that only really lana can pull off because, well, she's lana

Omg amazing thank u 

I tried really hard not to mind them but they're so jarring and I can't really take the song seriously with them sadly

[latothemoon 11,845]

Leak the instrumentals

[Flowerbomb 65,593]

I still can't stop listening to TNC. It's so perfect.

 

- The acoustic sounds

- The lyrics

- I love the Bob Dylan reference

- I love when Sean sings the 'wine' part over again

- When they both sing in the song

 

I could go on.

[Constantine 4,074]

How is Off TO The races good lyrically? I mean they're surely tumblr-quote ready and god knows this place is filled with tumblrers but I wouldn't call them exactly good. What an overrated sing when it's really awful

 

Love, Heroin and Get Free are her best songs ever. Feel much more genuine than anything she's done before and they're just better in general. If you disagree you're stoopid and ugly

[RideOrDieConeyQueen 87]

I'm really feeling 13 beaches and white mustang - idk why but beautiful people makes me laugh every time i hear it

[latothemoon 11,845]

BPBP is what Hey Girl aspired to be
