    This is one of the best. I love that you can hear "old ultraviolence" vibes (living legend/cherry blossom) with the "newest nfr/chemtrails" vibes (dealer/text book/blue banisters).
    It's like a mix of some eras.
    I can't stop listening to this album and i'm sure it'll age well.
    Unpopular opinion - i liked demo version of thunder better.

    Um dos melhores albuns da sua carreira! Apesar de não ser um albúm que se adapta aos requisitos da indústria, atrai bastante o público e a base de fans que Del Rey construi e mantém desde meados de 2010 com "Video Games". Acredito que terá a mesma influência no pop e alternativo que os seus discos anteriores tiveram.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To me it's one of the best albums she has ever made, so personal. It literally feels like a musical autobiography and just as she said, no one gets to speak about her except her own self, and she did. This album is pretty much the most creative and sonically experimental, and it worked. Truly amazing piece of work and blessed this year with Blue Banisters. I see no bad songs/skips on this album and all of them are my favourite songs. The way this album just touches my heart and soul and forces me to be more authentic and accepting and let myself feel everything this album has to offer, is pretty much what she is tryna say. The sound of this album is very stripped down letting her vocals and songwriting shine best than ever before, but the instrumentalism doesn't stay back being bland. It's very creatively produced and interestingly composed which keeps the listener hooked and ask for more. We can see her being true to herself and the audience, being the most authentic she has ever been as a artist, disclosing pieces of her personal life and shutting down the negative critics or hate she often used to get but she never really answered back to them, and now she did with confidence, grace, and truthfulness while holding on to her creative genius and standing up for herself. Go stream it!… Expand

She is definitely the most underrated artist of her time, and does not get the credit she deserves! This album has everything! Lana poured her heart and soul into each song with emotion and rage! There was little to no promotion with this album, and yet she is able to mesmerize us all with her music and lyrics, and basically everyone. This is Lana’s most personal album as she shares her life experiences, and what she has been through the last couple of years. Lana is that one special artist where as you listen to her songs, you are carried away. This artist has evolved so much over the years, and will continue to do so. Lana loves her music, and strays away from mainstream, she is special.… Expand

    I do think that this album perhaps sprawls a bit too much, but I also feel like I can't complain; Lana Del Rey is one of the best songwriters of this generation and I'm just glad that we can have as much as we've gotten. Dealer is absolutely gorgeous; I love the way she sings "I don't want to live!" I love the way we've been permitted to view her in Black Bathing Suit: "The only thing thatI do think that this album perhaps sprawls a bit too much, but I also feel like I can't complain; Lana Del Rey is one of the best songwriters of this generation and I'm just glad that we can have as much as we've gotten.

This album is intimate in a way that needs to be treasured. It's not my favorite of her records, and definitely not her most compact, but there are great moments here that should be listened to over and over again.… Expand

From her silky tones in the opening track ‘Text Book’ to the vulnerability of ‘Black Bathing Suit’ to the rock tones and influences of ‘Dealer’, Del Rey shows us all what she does best - be an artist. For years now Del Rey has been cemented in the roots of alternative music, but has never put out a record so vulnerable but confident, happy but sad as this before. Besides the songs themselves, being a very cohesive project, ‘Blue Banisters’ makes a great album in itself and fits perfectly within its chosen aesthetics. This album may be the truest the NY-born singer has ever been… and will ever be to us. I really can’t say more. ‘Blue Banisters’ is a true musical paragon.… Expand

    Lana Del Rey mais uma vez entregando um combo de mesmice, saturação e muito tédio em suas obras. Desde o Normal F*cking Rockell! parece que seus trabalhos sucessores soam sempre como um descarte de baixa qualidade do mesmo. A criatividade de Lana Del Rey aparenta estar mais limitada e rasa, um álbum que não agrega a indústria fonográfica e, talvez, nem aos próprios fãs…

In this album 'Blue Banisters' she does something she hasn't done before. The album reflects her story really well, where she's at now and where she was. The songs 'Living Legend' 'Cherry Blossom' and 'Nectar of the Gods' tell her story extra well since they're about 10 years old.

    She's very experimental with this album and her voice is everywhere. She does everything you would want her to do. In 'Dealer' 'Black Bathing Suit' and 'Living Legend' she's yelling. In 'Cherry Blossom' 'Beautiful' and 'Sweet Carolina' you can hear her wonderful vocals.    … Expand

    I check it, I wreck it, I turn it around
    I gave you all my money, gave you all my money
    Gave you all my money, gave you all my money
    I don't wanna live
    I don't wanna give you nothing
    'Cause you never give me nothing back
    Why can't you be good for something?
    Not one shirt off your back
    Why can't you be good for something?
    Not one shirt off your back
    Please don't try to find me through my dealer
    He won't pick up his phone
    Please don't try my doctor either
    He won't take any calls
    He's no **** spirit healer
    He just can't stop to talk
    But he's gone now for the weekend
    I check it, I wreck it, and I'll explain
    I gave you all my money, gave you all my money
    Gave you all my money, gave you all my money
    I don't wanna live
    I don't wanna give you nothing

    I loved this new release, Lana gave us a new side of her with this album.
    The production is so beautiful and rare.
    Lana's lyrics are always on point.
    And about vocals, we all know that Lana loves to surprise us with new sounds and vocals, and she did that with this new release. I'm glad that I listened to this, it made this Autumn/winter period so much better for me

    Still to this day, no artist is more esoteric and profound in their lyricism. Lana captivates her audience once more through engaging her older sound with a newer flare. No man will ever make her trade her violets for roses … ever.

    With Blue Banisters Lana is giving another amazing album, the songs are very cohesive and it gives a similar vibe like Ultraviolence but in a new and fresh way. It’s lyrically her best album and the production is breathtaking. Black Bathing Suit and Dealer are the best example that she’s also capable of taking risks.

    Thunder is even better now and the order of Nectar Of The Gods, Living Legend and Cherry Blossom was the right choice. My favourite songs are Black Bathing Suit, Dealer and Wildflower Wildfire.

    For me it’s in the top 3 of all her albums, together with NFR and Honeymoon    … Expand

    This album is a masterpiece, Lana has been blessing us with the best music from day one. Sometimes i get really angry how badly the music industry treating her!! They literally don’t promote her! Instead they promote those untalented silly TWINKS. Don’t worry Lana you are our Living Legend. Thank you Lana for making us happy. -Aaron

    Lana’s music has always been so powerful, emotional and captivating, but this takes it to an entirely different level. She’s so bare when it comes to her audience… and that’s what people love about her; she presents the subjects of her songs in such a beautiful romanticized way. My favourites have to be Nectar of the Gods, Lie Down Next to me, Dealer, Thunder, basically the whole albumLana’s music has always been so powerful, emotional and captivating, but this takes it to an entirely different level.

    On Blue Banisters, Lana Del Rey dives into her past, brings it to the light of day and intertwines it with her recent breakup with Sean and the criticism she’s been receiving from the medial and the general public for how she looks and her honesty. Blue Banisters is the perfection successor to Norman **** Rockwell and Chemtrails Over The Country Club. Raw, unfiltered, brilliant.

    A set of drifting piano ballads that allow her rich and profane lyrics to hit home. [Jan 2022, p.22]

    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.
