    The album is beautiful. So unique and so wonderfully varied. As a long time mega fan, this happens to be my favorite piece of work by Lana. Her vocals are outstanding just as much as the explendid lyricism.

    This is her best album since Ultraviolence, and now she sounds even more self-aware and confident, and also more conscient about the world we're living. Lust for Life is an unique event for Lana's career and for current pop music scene.

    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.

    While Ultraviolence was a solid 10 (it is until this date one of my favourite albums of all time), Honeymoon a rock-hard 9, Lanal Del Rey's latest effort, 'Lust For Life' feels like a slight slip. Don't get me wrong, her artistry hasn't lessened an inch, and her vocals are fiercer than ever, and the production is subtle and, at times, unexpected. The first half of the album, starting withWhile Ultraviolence was a solid 10 (it is until this date one of my favourite albums of all time), Honeymoon a rock-hard 9, Lanal Del Rey's latest effort, 'Lust For Life' feels like a slight slip. Don't get me wrong, her artistry hasn't lessened an inch, and her vocals are fiercer than ever, and the production is subtle and, at times, unexpected. The first half of the album, starting with the mind-blowing lead single and opener 'Love', until the brand new experimental (that's sonically, and lyrically) 'In My Feelings', is absolutely flawless. The issues start then, when some of the following tracks feel like fillers, or out of place on the record: for instance, last-minute-addition 'Coachella - Woodstock' could have been scraped altogether, while the patriotic/empowering 'God Bless America- And All The Beautiful Women in It' offers nothing new when it comes to creativity or originality. In addition, 'When the World Was at War We Kept Dancing' and 'Beautiful People Beautiful Problems' (featuring THE Stevie Nicks) feel very forgettable. After that, the album re-takes the right direction with the extremely Honeymoon-esque 'Heroin', the beautifully-dark 'Change', and the optimistic closer 'Get Free'.

    In conclusion, although packed with awesome exquisitely-made songs, Del Rey's fifth effort can't help but feel 4-or-5-tracks-too-long. However, this doesn't affect Lana's undeniable talent and artistry or shake them in any way. Way to go, Ms. Grant! This record is a summer essential.    … Expand

From one of her strongest songs to date "13 Beaches" to the step into the hip-hop world "Summer Bummer", the album re-establishes the fact that Del Rey is an artist of her generation, despite her 60s flairs. The two-part album composition ranges from the heavy drums of "Cherry" to the Honeymoon-reminiscent sound of "Heroin", which reinforces Del Rey's diversity in her music. Although some might dislike this step forward in her journey of self-realization for Del Rey, it does not change the fact that she is still a growing artist who manages to put out thoughtful tunes for generations to come.… Expand

    La letra en cada tema del álbum, habla de esa pasión por la vida que se ha despertado en Lana, como lo ha escrito en el tema Get Free, ha pasado de lo oscuro a lo azul. Sin dejar de lado su toque melancólico y poco convencional cuyas cualidades la hacen excepcional.

    Every song is a little masterpiece. Lana Del Rey is always reinventing herself in terms of musicality and lyrics, and in "Lust For Life" she is more politically/socially aware than her previous works. There are songs resembling all of her previous records as well as songs with fresh new styles.

Lana starting to do collaborations on her album is just so good and refreshing (I really loved the track with Stevie Nicks).

    Lust For Life, Cherry, Summer Bummer, Groupie Love, and In My Feelings have a dazing and grandiose feeling linked to them, perfect to be nice "summer jams".

    Love, Coachella, and God Bless America are the most anthemic tracks on the album. They are inspiringly beautiful.

    13 Beaches, White Mustang, Heroin, and Change have a really deep and melancholic sound, very soothing.

    Finally, When The World Was At War We Kept Dancing, Beautiful People Beautiful Problems, Tomorrow Never Came and Get Free are a little bit more heart-lighted and warm than the previous ones, but all of them have powerful messages to spread.

    I really loved this album, and I found myself already waiting for the next record. I wish I could've heard Architecture, Yosemite and Roses Bloom For You.    … Expand

    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

    Without a doubt, this is my favorite of the year.

    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.
