    Simply amazing, best album of the year hands down. With Chemtrails over the country club right behind it

    Deeply personable. A true piano album. Cinematic. Enigmatic. Beautiful keys. Standouts include 'black bathing suit', 'thunder', 'Nectar of the gods' and 'dealer'. My mind wonders what a hybrid chemtrails and bannisters could have yeilded.

    A masterpiece! One of her best works if not the best. I absolutely LOVE it.
    My personal favorites are Nectar of the Gods, Violets for Roses and Black Bathing Suit. Had them on repeat since the album came out. Dealer is also amazing, so unique. No skips. So excited for Lana’s next projects.

    So beautiful. Arguably lanas best yet. A mix of piano ballads and old school sounds.

    "Blue Banisters" é a prova maior que Lana Del Rey é uma das melhores compositoras de nossa época. Aqui ela soa crua, descuidada e emotiva da melhor maneira. Se arriscando em vocais nunca antes vistos em seus álbuns anteriores e sem medo de se mostrar vulnerável. Destaques para Dealer, if You Lie Down With Me, Thunder e Living Legend.

    Lana is one of the best songwriters of our generation. She took us to a different world with her amazing vocals and heavenly melodies. Blue Banisters it's just another proof of how Lana del Rey paved the way to a lot of girls in this industry.

    It was a step up from Chemtrails Over the Country Club. Though i really enjoyed the last album, feel that Blue Banisters is much more authentic to her than the last one. The production and lyricism in this one is outstanding. 100%recommend.

    The successor to NFR. Even though lana has already given a taste for 2021, she decided again to give us her strong personality and artistic brand.

    Pour avoir écouté tout les albums de Lana, c’est pour moi CELUI qu’elle devait produire.
    Un album ou elle travaille sa magnifique voix pour en faire des hymnes a l’amour (et pas que) comme elle le faisait a ces debuts (Lana del ray Aka lizzy grant et unrealised song) avec bien sur des meilleures productions etc…

    Chemtrails over the country club était je pense un très bon album de transition entre l’excellent Norman f***ing rockwell et Blue banisters. Excellent.

    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.
