    Text Book reminds me Thelma & Louise riding with their Thunderbird haha
    and Wildflower Wildfire is my favorite music of all times!
    I really love how intimate it is, thanks from the bottom of my heart Lana

    For me, Blue Banisters it's the most personal album for Lana. First thing that we need to look with atencion is that she use some of her old songs, like Thunder and Nectar of the gods. Then, there's a song that she sings about quarantine, body changes and her relationship with her mother. Other song tells us about the daughter that she never had.

    Blue Banisters, is an album with rich instrumentation, simpler than Lust for Life and NFR! but better than its predecessor.
    Lyrically it is strong, delving deeper into her personal life. Lana is very creative and despite releasing 3 albums in the last 2 years, each one turns out to be very different and details different facets of her life. Vocally it is less elaborate, but the    Blue Banisters, is an album with rich instrumentation, simpler than Lust for Life and NFR! but better than its predecessor.

    Blue Banisters is a gem, simple and more natural, but can probably be positioned as one of her best albums.

    Sus líricas, sus letras, es como si Ultraviolence y Norman **** Rockwell hubieran tenido un hijo y ese hijo hubiera sido su mayor orgullo. Destacó las increíbles canciones como Dealer, Thunder, If You Lie Down With Me, entre otras perfectas composiciones que hacen que el álbum sea perfecto. Probablemente el mejor álbum de Del Rey.

    Simply one of Lana's best work. This record represents a lot. It's intense and contains such a symbolism and talks about her feelings in the most sincere and simple way. But this simple way is what makes this album so complex. And it is very complex indeed.

    Lana bonita, este álbum es muy hermoso, contempla tanto sentimiento, tanto amor y madurez. Uno de los menores sin duda alguna, por no decir el mejor, Los vocalización, la instrumentalización es tan inmaculada. Cada cosa que hace Lana sin pensarlo dos veces es considerado obra de arte. Tener una mezcla de tantas eras en un solo álbum te deja un sentimiento de satisfacción total.

    Her latest album doesn’t disappoint. It starts beautifully with Text Book, where she talks about her fathers love, and continues with her beautiful voice and amazing instruments.

    Ela deveria parar de copiar e colar um tipo de compilação dos seus albuns anteriores, se eu adicionasse chemstrail e blue juntos, eu n iria conseguir diferenciar qual é qual

    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.
