    o album da lana que mostrou para a indústria a mudança dela, tanto na forma de viver quanto na d pensar, apesar de aind preferir os álbuns mais antigos como ultraviolence e honeymoon, BB é um grande álbum assim como qualquer trabalho da lana

    Probably Lana’s worst album to date with chemtrails. The music is not bad but not as good as she could do.

    Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, **** on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There are so many trolls here, rating it low, I don't know if this is true but I saw that it might be demi stans. Stop rating it low, just for y'all's fave new album to go #1 here, when you haven't heard of this album. Textbook, the first song in the album, talks about losing your father, it mentions the black lives matter protest which is very important and influential for today's society, some of it's lyrics are "There we were, screamin', 'Black Lives Matter'." and "And I saw you saw who I am God, I wish I was with my father. He could see us in all our splendor. All the things I couldn't want for him, I screamed for them (oh, oh) ; I screamed for them (ah - ah)." ; My favorite songs in this album are black bathing suit, if you lie down with me, and violets for roses.… Expand

    This album deserves a lot. I think it’s top 3 lana’s albums. I also think people must stop to value this 0, just to make higher other albums which don’t deserve that rate.

    I love every second of this album. The more I listen to it the more I fall in love with it. I waited so long for some of the songs and hearing them on this record made me literally cry. I love the experience of listening to the album.

    Black Bathing Suit is delightful and dealer is unexpected. Best album of all time. Gives similar vibes to Ultraviolence.

    Lana is back 7 months after her album chemtrails over the country club. This album contains old recordings and new tracks such as: Arcadia (my favorite), blue banisters, text book, wildflower wildflower, black bathing suit, if you li down with me, violets for roses etc. I think this album is one of the most beautiful vocally of Lana we discover a new cleaner and angry voice (for exampleLana is back 7 months after her album chemtrails over the country club.

    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.
