    Text Book reminds me Thelma & Louise riding with their Thunderbird haha
    and Wildflower Wildfire is my favorite music of all times!
    I really love how intimate it is, thanks from the bottom of my heart Lana

    For me, Blue Banisters it's the most personal album for Lana. First thing that we need to look with atencion is that she use some of her old songs, like Thunder and Nectar of the gods. Then, there's a song that she sings about quarantine, body changes and her relationship with her mother. Other song tells us about the daughter that she never had.

    Blue Banisters, is an album with rich instrumentation, simpler than Lust for Life and NFR! but better than its predecessor.
    Lyrically it is strong, delving deeper into her personal life. Lana is very creative and despite releasing 3 albums in the last 2 years, each one turns out to be very different and details different facets of her life. Vocally it is less elaborate, but the    Blue Banisters, is an album with rich instrumentation, simpler than Lust for Life and NFR! but better than its predecessor.

    Blue Banisters is a gem, simple and more natural, but can probably be positioned as one of her best albums.

    Sus líricas, sus letras, es como si Ultraviolence y Norman **** Rockwell hubieran tenido un hijo y ese hijo hubiera sido su mayor orgullo. Destacó las increíbles canciones como Dealer, Thunder, If You Lie Down With Me, entre otras perfectas composiciones que hacen que el álbum sea perfecto. Probablemente el mejor álbum de Del Rey.

    Simply one of Lana's best work. This record represents a lot. It's intense and contains such a symbolism and talks about her feelings in the most sincere and simple way. But this simple way is what makes this album so complex. And it is very complex indeed.

    Lana bonita, este álbum es muy hermoso, contempla tanto sentimiento, tanto amor y madurez. Uno de los menores sin duda alguna, por no decir el mejor, Los vocalización, la instrumentalización es tan inmaculada. Cada cosa que hace Lana sin pensarlo dos veces es considerado obra de arte. Tener una mezcla de tantas eras en un solo álbum te deja un sentimiento de satisfacción total.

    Flawless album, possibly her best yet. No skips & every song contributes overall to the album.

    I love how Lana finally reaches her dream and becomes a beautiful poet. There’s not one single bad song. Burst into tears at numerous moments while listening to the album. Lana what are you Doing to me?

    High highs followed by low lows. I don’t know what to make of this record to be completely honest it felt lazy and lacked cohesion however it somehow works. Definitely some future classics like ‘living legend’.

    Blue Banisters provando novamente Del Rey como uma artista completamente realizada, com toda certeza esse é o segundo melhor álbum da artista, ficando atrás somente do clássico e inesquecível NFR. Um álbum lindo, rico e muito satisfatório, um grande concorrente para o AOTY.

    The Lana's most stunner and shocking album of all time. A hybrid from the ancient Lana and the new one, full of feelings and surprising high notes. The time passes by and she becomes more mature and brilliant each day. I'm proud to getting older with her.
    Blue Banisters is brilliant.
    Extraordinary.
    A masterpiece.
    It's divine.

    This absolutely deserves all the money, power, and glory. Lana kills this album in the best way possible. The vocals are spot on, the beats are so simple yet touching, and the songwriting is some of her best. 10/10

    Крізь ці пісні подорожуєш альбомом,як життям Лани,тут записи з 2013,2015,2017 і 2020…
    Як завжди,альбом характерний творчості міс Дель Рей,проте не схожий на жодні записи раніше. Я схиляюся думки,що альбом потрібно слухати повністю,а не частково й вибірково декілька пісень. Тільки тоді,проаналізувавши лірику,тексти,інструментал,емоції,котрі у тебе викликає ця музика,сенс слів і кожної ноти,    Крізь ці пісні подорожуєш альбомом,як життям Лани,тут записи з 2013,2015,2017 і 2020…

    She did it again! In less than a year Lana Del Rey gives us another masterpiece, we don't need to compare hers albums because each of them have their own significance and Blue Banisters it's the more autobiographical and kind of them.

    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.
