    Not a good! Songs are ok but doesn’t give me any feelings. Vocals are ok! I need more emotion.

    Tal vez uno de sus peores álbumes, pero algunas canciones son buenísimas, pero la mayoría del álbum suena medio igual, aunque no es tan malo

    Although this is one of Lana’s most chaotic and uneven projects , it still has very high highs and manages to portray lana exactly how she seems to be at this time .Secure , kinda happy and spending time with her family.

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

    A very structured album from Lana and a great follow up from Chemtrails. Doesn't grow old and an all timer. Moved me, and deserves all the praise

    Um dos melhores álbuns da Lana onde ele de fato pode mostrar toda sua sonoridade, sua suavidade e toda sua trajetória através de um só algum que se chama Blue Banisters.

    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

    A lyrically strong album. [Jan 2022, p.82]

    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.
