    Lana Del Rey has provided listeners with yet another interesting, complex, and vocally stunning album. Blue Banisters has a specific vulnerability woven into it that Chemtrails was hinting at. Overall, great album and I hope she continues this style.

É uma prova da evolução da artista enquanto alguém que representa seu tempo, pois em algumas de suas tentativas de consciência social do passado, lê-se Woodstock On My Mind, o resultado era desastrosamente sem tato, o que não ocorre aqui. Com melodias inventivas e irregulares, a experiência é imprevisível e mesmo no passo lento, que é a tradição dela, não cansa, nem decepciona. É uma obra de arte que vai resistir ao tempo. Expand

    As Lana explores a vast space of music, her versatility never stops from getting better. This album shows how raw Lana can be with her music. She didn't hide or filter and sugarcoat words in her song, she wrote it personally. This album manages to add more to how she can make music by even adding the song dealer which is a screamer. Amazing overall.

    Os vocais de Del Rey estão tão angelicais e distantes como sempre, presos em um devaneio. Ela está empolgada em “Dealer”, forçando-se à beira das lágrimas e registrando-se em seu ápice. Em “Wildflower Wildfire”, ela acelera uma força cada vez maior da melodia. […] Mas, ao retirar a densidade sônica de seu trabalho anterior e tomando seu doce tempo para se descobrir, ‘Blue Banisters’ dá mais brilho ao mundo pessoal cada vez mais vívido de Del Rey.

It definitely owns up to the part of being a Lana Del Rey record, yet I dare say it’s easy to call it her best with the gloomy production and the drastically improved vocal delivery.
