    Lana del rey is serving once again with this deep and beautiful album. I love how she is showing us new vocals and her voice sounds like an angel. The song Dealer was a great surprise and she is slaying with Beautiful. Thank you Lana for this piece of Art

    Exquisite album. There’s no doubt why Lana del Rey is the queen of alternative music. So proud her, amazing way to celebrate 10 years since she became famous. She is the beautiful poet she was always meant to be.

    Sin duda este es uno de los mejores albums de Lana, es bastante personal y contiene una cantidad de instrumentos y sonidos hermosos que son una total experiencia para el que lo escucha, es un album que va creciendo en ti a medida que lo escuchas. Para mí está en el top 3 de los mejores albums de Lana.

    As we all know this is Lana’s second album of the year, Blue Banisters clearly tops the past album released. With old songs like ‘Cherry Blossom’, ‘Dealer’, ‘Thunder’, ‘Living Legend’ and ‘Nectar of The Gods’ she manages to tie her past songs, aesthetics and experiences into the modern Del Rey, she sings about the present ‘grenadine quarantine’ which she doesn’t often do.

    álbum insano de incrível. com seu ápice do amadurecimento aqui, Lana Del Rey produziu um de seus melhores projetos, trazendo de volta elementos de seus discos anteriores como o Ultraviolence, Honeymoon e NFR!, além de novos. Blue Banisters finaliza uma era da vida da cantora de forma majestosa.

    It's AMAZING. I love this album and every single song so much. The lyrics, the vocals, the music, eveything is just perfect. Lana shows so much honesty. She opens her heart and tells her story. I can't be more proud of her for beeing so brave. She is the Queen of alt and she proved that once again.

    Del rey manifests her most linear album of all times and, at the same time, the most disjointed: and from the paradox a transcendent phenomenon is once again born.

    Lana has managed to deliver everything again on her new album. All songs are amazing and perfect. I would take breaking up slownly from COTCC and put it on BB and put unreleased say yes to heaven. It only needed that to be my favorite. Some tracks are average but that doesn't make the songs bad. Thunder, Living Legend, Dealer, If you lie and Black Bathing suit are my highlights. TheseLana has managed to deliver everything again on her new album. All songs are amazing and perfect.

    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.
