    Tal vez uno de sus peores álbumes, pero algunas canciones son buenísimas, pero la mayoría del álbum suena medio igual, aunque no es tan malo

    Lana shows promise with some songs on this album but fails to deliver with others. It truly feels like at some point, perhaps management or the label stepped in and rushed it to completion? Lots of songs feel like demos with sounds that we've heard before. Luckily for Lana, her voice is stellar and vocal performance is always pleasant to listen to.

    Not surprised by the 10s from all the fans, but every listener will hear that this is far from her prime. It has more emotions than her previous two albums. The lyrics are very private, but so mundane at the same time that you fail to relate to it. Listening to Blue Banisters is like a watching a home movie from Lana Del Rey. It's beautiful to look at but at the same time misses concept,Not surprised by the 10s from all the fans, but every listener will hear that this is far from her prime.

    Visually the album doesn't have much to offer either. An underexposed cover and "music videos" shot on her iphone where she is sitting in the garden with her friends for 4 minutes.

    Um trabalho bem mediano, nada de novo na discografia e a sonoridade já bem batida

    Chematrails was a more well rounded album and this feels slightly rushed and had more time been spent perhaps it wouldn’t feel as rushed and long

    Lana Del Rey mais uma vez entregando um combo de mesmice, saturação e muito tédio em suas obras. Desde o Normal F*cking Rockell! parece que seus trabalhos sucessores soam sempre como um descarte de baixa qualidade do mesmo. A criatividade de Lana Del Rey aparenta estar mais limitada e rasa, um álbum que não agrega a indústria fonográfica e, talvez, nem aos próprios fãs…

    I usually like Lana's albums but this one right here, not really my cup of tea. I liked a few songs but overall wasn't solid as a project

    Album ruim. Como ela conseguiu fazer os dois piores albuns da carreira em menos de dois anos?

    It's rly bad. Over the decade her music style has not changed, and she doesn't change at all. It's so sad cause she has a beautiful voice. I hope she starts being more versatile in music industry.

    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

    Honestly, there's only 2 or 3 good songs on this album (good, not masterpieces or amazing songs, just good). I've heard all of her albums and this one is very boring, it doesn't have atmosphere or beautiful poetry or nice, dark and catchy sounds, it's very "meh". This is her worst year in music, I love her and I really hope she recovers her magic.

    Eu amo a Lana, mas Blue Banisters é um álbum feito com sobras das piores músicas descartadas de outros albuns e que não tem salvação nem pelos instrumentais, que são preguiçosos e repetitivos, é o pior álbum da carreira..

    Honestly i had my hopes really high for this album and i ended up not liking it. In my opinion Lana is one of the best writers of our generation but this not makes justice to her past work. I would keep listening to it anyways.

    Well work from Lana del Rey. But this is the worst album of her career considering all of the rest. Looking forward for the next one

    I love Lana, but I don't see her evolve in music. She should learn how to make new music in a different genre. People get bored if you make the same type of music every time. You should be able to evolve, Lana.

    Lana really has lost her way. What a horrid album. She used to be my favourite but now she’s just become truly lazy.

    album ruim, músicas clichês e sem inovação. Lana deveria tentar algo novo ao invés de servir mais do mesmo.

    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.
