    As a true poet, Lana Del Rey reinvents herself and delivers another album worthy of the Queen of the Alternative.

    Arcadia e Thunds são as highlights do álbum, toda vez que eu acho que Lana não conseguirá me surpreender com futuros trabalhos, ela vem e me desmente. Álbum incrível e merece todo o reconhecimento, não teria como a nota não ser 10. Uma artista que experimenta e não perde a sua essência.

    O sea, lana del rey no le puede encantar a todo el mundo, no todos tiene buen gusto.
    Personalmente este álbum ha sido el mejor que a lanzado a lo largo de su carrera, se evidencia su crecimiento y madurez, espero siga brillando y deleitando nuestros oídos con sus hermosas melodías y letras que la caracterizan.❤️

    Such an incredibly subtle yet complex and captivating album. Lana takes bits and pieces from each of her previous albums to create quite a unique listening experience. Some experimental elements and multiple different vocals throughout the album highlight the gorgeous songwriting and unique storytelling Lana has shown for close to a decade now.

    Beauty of simplicity. Best lyricist of our generation. Lana did it again, twice in a year.

    Her voice is shining and this album shows how Lana Del Rey improved and aged like fine wine artistically. One of a kind album, one of a kind singer. I loved how experimental this album was and despite being different than any of her previous work, her fans loved it. One of the best albums released this year. Looking forward to her next projects with pure excitement.

    She did it again, I’m so thrilled for cherry blossom, and I’m so glad she kept it in the album. There are no skips unsurprisingly, and so many favorites. I’m so proud of her.

    Her most personal and touching work of art, Blue Banisters clearly saves this year (with Chemtrails Over The Country Club of course).

    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.
