    This album is so stunning, and whilst I do hope she leans towards a different sound in her next album, I love the classic approach she took here, especially with tracks like If You Lie Down With Me, or Thunder

It is a celebration of maturity and growing up. The title track manages to create a mesmerizing scenery , as well as Wildflower wildflower. Dealer is the kind of lana I would like to see in her next project, screaming her lungs out with that beautiful voice of hers. I didn’t like text book and nectar of the gods so I can’t give it a ten. I have to say though most times I think ‘Chemtrails Over The Country Club’ , the predecessor of’ Blue Banisters’ seems to be a more even and thought out and polished project which is in my heart… Expand

    even though some may disagree on the quality of production, i believe it is perfectly tailored to each individual song. not only are the songs moving, they are some of the most personal by lana and it is similar to a letter to her fans the way she wrote many of the songs. and nothing can beat the picsart cover singles rollout which completes the album.

    Lana narrates a story that empowers any fan that struggles with the reality of stifling ones true self for the sake of being 'accepted'. Blue Banisters, one might say, is an album Lana has been making her entire career, what with some of the songs recorded as long ago as 2013. Truly an experience, living the life of a living legend.

    Blue Banisters, pra mim, é o álbum mais maduro artisticamente de Lana Del Rey. Um álbum pessoal, que traz vivências da cantora e de suas pessoas mais próximas. Sua composição é o seu ponto mais forte.

    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.
