    Quite honestly this is Lana's best album to date! Her writing skills are another level her voice all the music elements blended in this album is pure awesomeness! Release a album after quit social media with 0 promotion from her or even her record label says a lot about the power of her talent.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The most refined Lana has ever been with her signature sound that somehow is different with each new album, but still 100% authentic to her craft. The lyrics of this album share a much more vulnerable side to Lana compared to her more surface level emotional music on earlier albums such as Born To Die and Ultraviolence. Lana goes into fine detail of these happenings in her life to share her a true side to herself. Later we get beautiful tracks that highlight peaks in her artistry throughout her career all in one album.

    The track Black Bathing Suit is a very experimental song with stunning lyrics and storytelling and a grand outro the pushes out Lana’s emotions more than perfectly into song.    … Expand

    This album did to me what many simply cannot do. I laid in my bed and found myself in a trance, or what could have also been allure. I don't exactly know what it was. I found it very hard to listen to, not necessarily because of any negative reason, I simply don't know, but it is so complex and the embodiment of a wild and emotive ride, truly.

I don't exactly know what it was. I found it very hard to listen to, not necessarily because of any negative reason, I simply don't know, but it is so complex and the embodiment of a wild and emotive ride, truly. Packed with possibly what is Lana's best song writing skills yet, while simultaneously being very reminiscent of the sound of 'Ultraviolence' it feels rewarding and satisfying to observe 'Blue Banisters' become part of what is now an established holy trinity: Her sisters 'NFR', 'Chemtrails over the country club' and now, alongside them, being held by her hand and with her two dogs behind her, here comes 'Blue Banisters'. The two previous albums showcased Lana's maturity and established her as a VERY talented poet, that title cannot be denied, and Blue Banisters as the most recent of Lana's artistic projects is no exception to this title. With the exception of the singles, 'Black Bathing Suit', 'Beautiful' and 'Sweet Carolina' are the highlights of the album in my opinion. It honestly felt just like a novel, full of symbolism and beautiful imagery. 10/10 for me.… Expand

    Очень сильный альбом. Лирика просто на высоте. Лично мне не хватило больше инструментального разнообразия, хотя Лана использует разные «вокальные приемы», что делает звучание интереснее. Но ставлю однозначно 10, работа очень достойная. Спасибо Лане за то, что она делится такими глубокими текстами, и в целом своим творчеством. это прекрасноОчень сильный альбом.

    Lana del Rey sorprendió con su toque esta vez, especialmente al adecuar la pista de Thunder para que vaya más acorde al disco, es un excelente disco con demasiadas canciones buenas, en general yo lloré con Violets for Roses, Living Legend y Nectar of the Gods, grande Lana del Rey, un ícono como siempre.

    i can say i felt myself inside her songs, it’s all so intimate that i ended up looking at my own fears, my own angry, forgiveness and happiness. this album is pure, honest, kind and unforgettable poetry. everybody should say thank you to lana.

    For me her strongest work to date. Every song is a lesson on poetry. Her vocals never sounded better. BB shows again how versatile she can be.

    One of the best albums I have ever heard. I love how different the songs are and her vocal range as always is beautiful.
    My favourites were ‘Textbook’, ‘Dealer’ and ‘Living Legend’.

    One of her best, or arguably, her best album thus far! This album really showed Lana's versatality as a singer. (From the belt in Dealer, to the tender and raw vocals in Cherry Blossom) Somehow it managed to capture the essence of all her past works and at the same time, collectively bring something unique to the table.

    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.
