    This album would have been a perfect 10 without the first 3 songs. Also the Thunder demo was better. Also the visuals of this era are pretty meh

    This album is just perfect. It is a combination of lovely songs. My personal favorites Beautiful, Cherry Blossom, and Black Bathing Suits but the album is so good that any song could be your favorite even the interlude.

    Las portadas, las líricas y melodías son algo indescriptible, algo grandioso.
    Sin duda, es un buen trabajo de Lana 10/10    … Expand

    A very captivating album, and definitely a grower. I cannot stop listening! While some songs are weaker than others, the strongest tracks hold them up and make this record a very great listen and possibly makes it Lana’s best album.

    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.
