    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.

    Lana del Rey managed to do what no other artist who released albums in the same year could: surpass herself. 'Chemtrails Over The Country Club' is an excellent album, yet 'Blue Banisters' manages to represent a part of your life and still sound totally current and authentic. The pandemic did very well for Lana, she managed to evolve, make excellent albums and fit her evolution into them.Lana del Rey managed to do what no other artist who released albums in the same year could: surpass herself.

    THE PERFECT ALBUM EXIST AND IT'S BLUE BANISTERS BY LANA DEL REY.
    The lyrics, the emotion, the production and the visual are so well done and I think it might be Lana's best work

    Excellent album. The production is phenomenal. I absolutely adore Lana’s voice. It has matured so much. The only thing I do not like about this album is the choice of singles, because they don’t reflect on what the album really is. There are better songs, such as Thunder,Living Legend,Black Bathing Suit or Cherry Blossom. The singles are basically the sequel of “Chemtrails Over The CountryExcellent album.

The singles are basically the sequel of “Chemtrails Over The Country Club” and “Blue Banisters” is very different. It is more experimental I would say. Especially the song dealer. I have never heard this kind of Lana Del Rey. Her lyricism gets better and better with every single album. She is an incredible poet, her way with words is indescribable and exceptional. No one tells a story like her. An astonishing piece of work. Bravo.… Expand

    Uno de los pocos artistas y compositores del siglo XXI. Lana nos trae en este octavo álbum de estudio una visión más personal de sus actuales, con familiares y relaciones rotas . ¡Pero solo los verdaderos pueden sentir y comprender! Gracias Laninha

    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.
