    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.

    For me her strongest work to date. Every song is a lesson on poetry. Her vocals never sounded better. BB shows again how versatile she can be.

    Blue Banisters is a return of every Lana's era, when you listen to it completely you can feel a piece from all the past works and even with that she can be authentic again, like aways. Lana Del Rey is a reference for the Alternative music.

    This is beautiful.. i don't find a single skip in the entire album, her vocals are INSANE in most of the track, she dived into different sounds on this album and it's truly a standout album by her. Coming after Chemtrails Over The Country Club, just 8 months after, it surpassed every expectation, at least for me, that I had for the record.. yeah there might be some tracks that you needThis is beautiful.. i don't find a single skip in the entire album, her vocals are INSANE in most of the track, she dived into different sounds on this album and it's truly a standout album by her. Coming after Chemtrails Over The Country Club, just 8 months after, it surpassed every expectation, at least for me, that I had for the record.. yeah there might be some tracks that you need more time with it but there are absolutely top tier songs in her discography like Beautiful, Thunder or Cherry Blossom. This is a stunning album i'm so proud of her definitely it got a #5 place at her top 5 albums for me! Expand

    Con un álbum completamente diferente a toda su anterior discografía, lana viene a enamorarnos con su voz mientras nos dice que está en su mejor momento y quiere que la acompañemos en ello.

    This album is really good, it's sad that it got caught in the middle of some fandom fuss. he deserves his first place just like Holy Fvck deserved his second. Too bad other fandoms came to generate intrigue between gangsters and lovatics

    The most personal and beautiful work that Del Rey puts out. Her voice sounds so well produce and tracks like Black bathing suit, Sweet Carolina and Living legend really stand outs of all of her discography.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Letras muito autorais. A cada álbum que passa conhecemos cada vez mais de Elizabeth Grant e nos distanciamos da persona Lana Del Rey. A mulher foi perspicaz e a melhor faixa é "beautiful", na qual ela cancela a crítica e lacra muito. Expand

    It's so cohesive yet so diverse. There are soft beats reminding Honeymoon the album and lots of piano ballads reminding us NFR! The length of the album might've been a little shorter because 14 songs (not counting the trio) is a bit hard to process all in once. Her vocals have been on another level since NFR! we can clearly agree on this I think

    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.
