    This album is truly amazing. Lana put all her soul in this masterpiece. All songs are telling a little story, you can understand Lana. Also, her songs force you to think about what the world is, what happening around you and maybe pushed to do something nice to make the world a little bit better :)

    Del Rey juega con su voz, con sus letras, con sus melodías y con nuestros sentimientos parar crear esta gran obra de arte que demuestra un grado de madurez mucho mayor, acompañada de grandes compositores y colaboradores reconocidos como Stevie Nicks y The Weeknd, encuentro en Lust For Life el mejor álbum alternativo femenino del 2017.

    Is Lana's best album so far, I was surprised too. She is the best and knows how to reach our hearts.
    I really hope she is nominated for prizes for this, THE BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR

    Del Rey's music never ceases to surprise me. She was born to make music and Lust For Life delivers the strongest highlights of her career. From hip-hop fueled features to mellow ballads, she serves everything on the plate. She mixes many genres and somehow succeeds to release a coherent album. Good job Lana, you deserve it.

    Lana assim como em "Ultraviolence" trás um álbum coeso e sólido, que passa do jazz, do clássico indie ala del rey, de hap e ainda tem músicas digna de orquestra "Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems" e que juntos se coexistem e não se descartam, um ótimo trabalho com uma belísssima produção e execução.

    Overall stunning album. It easily transports you into Lana's world from the first song, which is perhaps the only constant throughout her discography.

    Lana del Rey ha superado las expectativas, una vez mas. Y esto traduciendo la necesidad de aferrarse a la vida a canciones con sonidos que recuerdan a sus anteriores trabajos, pero sin ser versiones 0.2 o 0.3. He disfrutado cada pista.

    Not to be biased but I really love this album! I really thought it would sound like Born to Die but not at all, it's like a mixing of all her previous album and she did a really good job at it! Favorite songs are the collaboration with Stevie Nicks, Cherry, In My Feelings and God Bless America.. .

    Lust for Life enshrines Lana del Rey's most enthralling work, directing the listener on a journey that goes from the dramatic end of a life in the Hollywood Sign till the American mind at the sight of a terrible coletive end, until stop in the high willingness of the artist to make a drastic change in their styles and compositions.

    All this guided by a great and exciting vocal dedication, intelligent arrangements and a remarkable conceptual work. With very marked A and B sides, the second masterfully surfacing a musicality reminiscent of Beatles and the Velvet Underground, the album is a work with several subtle references to the influences of Del Rey on music, as well as to his previous albums. But above all it is done with love for music and its fans.    … Expand

    I love this album because it reflects Lana's positive side, songs like '' Lust for Life '' and '' Love '' reflect that there is a girl who re-minds her sad side and focuses on her life's lusts, so thank you Lana for being one of the few artists that if they know how to reinvent themselves, continues to demonstrate your talent.

    This album SHOOK me. The singles are fantastic, the deep cuts are amazing, the entire album is cohesive and fits together. Lana has released her first "happy" album, after 4 albums normally called sad or depressing. Amazing album, 10/10

    Nina Simone said at once that the artist's duty is to reflect the times, specially when these are hard times. Under influence of the 60s hippie movement and political-social activism (with Woodstock in her mind) Lana paid this duty, on her way, on the album with a direct political statement expressing about love, happiness, peace, activism, freedom, unity and, mostly important, change.Nina Simone said at once that the artist's duty is to reflect the times, specially when these are hard times. Under influence of the 60s hippie movement and political-social activism (with Woodstock in her mind) Lana paid this duty, on her way, on the album with a direct political statement expressing about love, happiness, peace, activism, freedom, unity and, mostly important, change. Because that's what really Del Rey is trying and expecting us to do; change for these hard times. We can keep dancing and singing, but, at the same time, we should be woke and act when it's needed.

    This record is the perfect intermediate between "Born to Die" and "Honeymoon"; hip-hop beats, pop-lyrical melodies and cinematic rock strings. It isn't a new thing coming from Del Rey because her signature stills recognized and identified, full of nostalgia, darkness and dreamy visions, and stays on her own lane, but this time is talking about the world instead of herself and that's what makes the album special; dark, nostalgic and quite futuristic.

    Maybe is the power of Stevie Nicks, from the legendary 60's band Fletwood Mac, and Sean Lennon, son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, children from the wave of the hippie sixties, that influence my way to immerse this strangely yet familiar world. Their collaborations blended magically with Del Rey's voice, as well as the chemistry with The Weeknd, A$AP Rocky and Playboi Carti.

    It's, truly, her best album.    … Expand

    After his signature Honeymoon, making a great sound impact with Lust For Life was great.
      Having a bit of his ancestors but still being authentic, Del Rey leaves a little melancholy to make songs written with optimism without leaving his authentic dark atmosphere in his songs.

    Lana is back: now with a political meaning in her music. This, with the hopeful atmosphere of the songs makes Lust For Life a brilliant and complete record.

    Looking back to Lana del Rey's past albums, Lust for Life founds itself above the darkness, opious, druggy-themed and darkly melancholy from the previous ones. Truly one of the best albums I ever seen. This is Lana del Rey at her best or at lest, at her perfectness

    most of lana del rey fans go through a lot of anxiety wether the upcoming album will be as good as the previous ones as it feels it is very hard to top them but lana never fails to deliver and lust for life definitely wasnt disappointing

    My favorite Lana album. The best so far, reminds me Ultraviolence but softly. I really like the sound feels really cool and nostalgic. Lana never disapoints and now she comes more actual but with the classic style

    The optimism of Lust For Life is a pleasant surprise, though the album is still painted in the same shades as Del Rey’s previous releases. At times it’s some of her best material, but it seems like a record best experienced in pieces than as a proper whole.

    While Del Rey’s voice remains firmly at the forefront, the spare arrangements encourage listeners to fill in their own emotional blanks for once.

    Throughout this accomplished, assured new record, Lana manages to repeatedly freeze time and capture those fleeting cinematic moments that make us who we are, while reminding us of who we could be.
