    Just one of her best albums, it gives a vibe of nostalgic and pasion. Being Lana and knowing that her music has a similar sound, this is a change of what he did before.

    As her recent released records, blue banisters brings sun-kissed memories of her troubled American way of life along with non-recommended relationships told with much desire of bringing her story, that exists ahead of the trend.

    Beautiful album. Absolutely gorgeous, and very different from her other albums. Love Thunder, Black Bathing Suit and Wildflower Wildflower.

    One of best Lana's albums. Lana returned to her classic sound, while the lyrics and sound remained the same as in Norman... If You Lie Down With Me, Violets for Roses, Wildflower Wildfire, Black Bathing Suit and Thunder are the most amaizing songs.

    Best album of the year. She came back with something new but nostalgic. And maybe it’s her best album, lyrically.

    Another incredible and soulful album from the icon of alternative music. Each line of each song penetrates into your heart, you feel everything that Miss Del Rey put into this record. Very strong, emotional and personal work. I am glad that I am destined to live at the same time with this great writer, poet and singer.

    Album of the year wbk. This album accompany me thru some bad day, when I feel upset I put this record on. The way she sing live (?) in most of the tracks, Lana is really Living Legend, we should protect her at all costs. Its been a week since this came out, and my favorite tracks are, text book, blue banisters, arcadia, trio the interlude, black bathing suit, if you lie down with me,Album of the year wbk.

    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.
