    esse álbum está simplesmente perfeito, lana abre sua intimidade e nos mostra quem é de fato elizabeth grant. as músicas compõem de uma atmosfera exuberante e ao mesmo tempo trazem uma tristeza e angústia com uma grande aptidão sentimental e desolada. sem falar das técnicas que nunca imaginaríamos ver lana cantar assim. este álbum se tornou um dos meus preferidos da lana, my living legend

    Blue Banisters is really the most beautiful thing I've ever heard from Lana's discography. Black bathing suite, Dealer, Thunder, Wildflower wildfire and Sweet Carolina are my favorite. I Love the way she used her rock influence in every single song, it should be named Rock Candy Seeet, like it was at the beginning. It's my favorite since Ultraviolence, a real masterpiece.

    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.

    A standout in Lana’s music career! I love how in some songs with lots of production, it’s quiet enough that Lana’s voice shines through and is the main focus. Dealer and Black Bathing Suit are nothing like she’s done before and definitely in my top 10 of her discography. Listen now! :)

All the vocals of this album are iconic and memorable, clearly Lana makes us get more and more into the album and the melodies could keep me wanting to know what's coming for the end of the song which every song had an incredible outro, probably the instrumental was that I loved more about this album.… Expand

    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.
