Change 7.66 http://coverlandia.net/sites/default/files/styles/artwork_grid/public/artworks/music/277991500514146.png Highest: dandy* (10) Lowest: Joe/White Mustang, JosephStyles, blacksquare, Jay ☆ (6) Okay, so firstly, well done Buzzjack, despite 20 rates, the lowest average is 7.66, which goes to show how well received the album is here (The Honeymoon rate started off in the 6s). So a big YES at everyone appreciating this masterful album. It's a bit of a shame a song has to come last here, but you guys chose 'Change', which I would agree, personally was one of the weakest. It was said to have been recorded last, with Lana deciding to add the song to the album last minute, the night before the tracks were submitted to the label for printing, which explains why it is very stripped back and just uses the piano. Though the melody isn't one of the stand outs on the album, the sentiment is nice.
August 11, 20177 yr That's probably the one that I go back to the least so I'm glad that finished last! Those averages though *.*
August 11, 20177 yr Change is lovely, joes right, it was the final song to be added to the album, literally recorded that night!!!
August 11, 20177 yr Author 15. White Mustang 7.77 http://coverlandia.net/sites/default/files/styles/artwork_grid/public/artworks/music/250731501245125.jpg Highest: Joe., HarryEzra, John-James (10) Lowest: HausofSZA (5.5) Next up we have one of my personal favourites. Funnily enough, I was telling people to skip this track as one of the more "forgettable tracks" when I first listened to the album, but after repeated listens it emerged as a huge stand out. I do find it to be almost parody Lana with the chorus lyrics "In your whiiiite mustang, your whiiiite mustang', but it still somehow transports me. It's dreamy, beautifully sung and whether you all like it or not, it's going to be the next video from Lust for Life as revealed by Lana herself!
August 11, 20177 yr Wasn't expecting to see 'Change' last! That's a shame, definitely one of my favourites now. As if it was recorded that night?! Amazing.

When the World Was at War We Kept Dancing 7.83 http://coverlandia.net/sites/default/files/styles/artwork_grid/public/artworks/music/277971500514027.png Highest: Joe., HarryEzra, Umi, (10) Lowest: Bjork (4) Another moment on the album's narative - part 3 of the Lana's political awakening, which happens just past half way through the album with 'Coachella' and 'God Bless America'. It's a somewhat sad song, where Lana sings 'is it the end of America?', but also invites her listeners to find hope and dance through the confusing times in the US. It's chorus is really quite quirky and fun and, I feel, if lifted with a remix (if Lana still did them) could work nicely. "Choreo!"
August 11, 20177 yr Change is lovely but probably my least favourite track on the album so I probably agree with that placing. White Mustang would be slightly higher for me though, it's a bit underrated in my opinion as it gets a bit overshadowed due to being in the stronger half of the album but it's lovely as a standalone track in my opinion. Will be exciting to get a video for it :w00t: Cherry, Lust for Life and Summer Bummer for top three please!! Predicting Love to be up there though, I like it lots but I do find it a little overrated on this site :o
August 12, 20177 yr No way is Change the worst thing on the album!!!!!!!! It's really beautiful, possibly my favourite thing on the whole thing. :wub:
August 12, 20177 yr These were the weakest to me on first listen but I truly would rate everything above an 8 now.
August 12, 20177 yr God damn.. just listened to the album a second time and the run of songs on the latter half of the album is perfect! Not fully liking 'Love' but it's a good introductory track to the LP.
August 13, 20177 yr Author 13. Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems (feat. Stevie Nicks) 7.86 http://coverlandia.net/sites/default/files/styles/artwork_grid/public/artworks/music/278131500529704.png Highest: UltraRedLight, Adelina555, 360Jupiter, (10) Lowest: Bjork, dandy* (5) A nice moment on the album, the two voices blend together well and Stevie's vocals sound incredible (She's going to be 70 soon!) I like the message behind the song, as it kind of comments on modern society and the digital age, but it's not the most exciting song on the album, I'd have at least swapped it with 'When The World'
August 13, 20177 yr I like Beautiful People lots actually. As Joe mentioned, Stevie's voice is just lovely and they work well together. It is really nice when Lana does collabs like this, it's a shame she doesn't do them usually for her own albums until this era. I'm shocked that the Sean Lennon track is still in, I'd have all the last three dropouts ahead of it in my ranking !! :o
