5 years ago today, Lana Del Rey released her fifth studio album ‘Lust for Life’. It debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 and went on to reach over 1.4B streams on Spotify, has sold over 2M units WW, is certified Gold in the US, and was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the Grammys. What’s you favourite song?

Love Is such a bop. 

[DignifiedLove]

I personally never resonated with this album but it has a few good songs. Can’t believe 2017 was 5 years ago.

[Bo da toe]

Love made me a Lana stan so while this isn’t my favorite album of hers I have a soft spot for it. Summer 2017 was a TIME for me and this was my soundtrack.

[Groundbreaking]

Although at first, I wasn't fond of this of sound (BTD & UV x Honeymoon & LFL), I've just recently literally fell head over the heels with this album. Yet not my absolute fav of hers, but this album has a special place in my heart and in my Ultimate Ms. Lana Bannana playlist 

Fav songs in no particular order:

Love

13 Beaches

White Mustang

Summer Bummer

Get Free

[stanLOONA]

An album that took me really long time to enjoy 

LOVE is so perfect 

I became OBSESSED with Get Free

[HisNameisChase]

This album would have been a BTD 2.0 if some tracks were cut 

[MikeHunt]

This was always playing in the background when I was hooking up with guys in 2017 

[Urbanney]

This album slapped for me when it come out, but it’s now one of my least favorite Lana albums

this album marked the beginning of lana’s musical downfall. she has not made a consistently good record since honeymoon. some songs here and there have been good, but she still hasn’t realised that her vagabond poet/piano-driven sprechstimme mantra shtick is boring as hell.

it’s ok, but mediocre in comparison to ultraviolence and honeymoon.

That's so true ! Honeymoon is her last great album but Lust for Live is the beginning of downfall.

I love Lana so much🕊️

LFL is an album that I also never super got into until recently... 

She was releasing music (and still does) so frequently that I would fall in love with an era/album like Ultraviolence and Honeymoon and have a hard time moving on so quickly when she released something new..

and at first I was turned off by the singles Love and Lust For Life, they sounded too "produced" or something...But now I like them just fine and love the album as a whole body of work and just think she's the greatest artist of our generation.

I'm also one of the Lana fans that thinks she's getting better as she goes and I love Chemtrails and Blue Banisters and almost exclusively listen to those now. I feel like I finally caught up to her and I love where she's at currently.

anyway, it's also interesting to hear what "Lust For Life" single would have sounded like without  the Weeknd and Max Martin's reworking.  Kind of a more gloomy continuation of Honeymoon. This demo is beautiful and I do prefer it to the album version:

 

 

anyway..... fave song on Lust For Life..

🍒CHERRY🍒

also: Summer Bummer, Get Free, ******, 13 Beaches, Tomorrow Never Came

also her visuals and looks were so cute during this era. remember her little trailer?

obvl love

[JSDSandiego]

One of my fav Lana Albums.
LFL is a masterpiece, one of my favs to put on at a late party.
BPWBP, IMF, TNC, Coachella, and Groupie Love stay on many of my playlists

 

White Mustang had no business being a single, but theres a time and place for that track.

[agustinmalandra]

This album has some good bops! Even tho I don't like her music that much.

That said, 13 beaches is SUCH A MASTERPIECE. and the three singles were good as well
