    This is an amazing album! It’s full of depth and really dives into Lana’s personal story. A lot of the songs are very moving and deserve a good listen. If you don’t like this album, chances are you’re a young teenager and don’t understand the concepts and long for more music similar to Born To Die despite the fact you still also don’t understand that album.

    While the days of Born to Die have long since passed, Lana Del Rey is still seeking paradise, closer now than ever as she turns her search inward, seemingly recognizing that paradise is ultimately found within the best of oneself. Still, if there is indeed a physical Arcadia to be revealed, it has not emerged in its entirety on Blue Banisters. That said, its intoxicating hints are enough to keep seekers thirsty.
