    Lana Del Rey has provided listeners with yet another interesting, complex, and vocally stunning album. Blue Banisters has a specific vulnerability woven into it that Chemtrails was hinting at. Overall, great album and I hope she continues this style.

    Blue Banisters is definitely one of her top albums. The whole record flows very smoothly and is very cohesive with the topics and themes throughout.

    this album further cements her as an artist of this generation, especially considering this was released only 7 months after chemtrails

    Sin duda, el mejor álbum alternativo del año, personal, melancólico
    Escucharlo se siente como dormir en casa después de mucho tiempo.

    No trabalho mais coeso de sua carreira, Lana Del Rey serve um produto consciente de sua tristeza e capaz de transitar entre temas com mais compromisso que nos seus primeiros álbuns.

É uma prova da evolução da artista enquanto alguém que representa seu tempo, pois em algumas de suas tentativas de consciência social do passado, lê-se Woodstock On My Mind, o resultado era desastrosamente sem tato, o que não ocorre aqui. Com melodias inventivas e irregulares, a experiência é imprevisível e mesmo no passo lento, que é a tradição dela, não cansa, nem decepciona. É uma obra de arte que vai resistir ao tempo.… Expand

    Uma verdadeira artista! Lana Del Rey segue sendo uma gradiosa compositora, instrumentista e cantora, Blue Banisters é uma perfeição. Estou apaixonado pelo álbum, "mais uma canetada da mamãe".

    This album is so amazing and beautiful. I love that she put so many unreleased tracks in here and how they were more or less the same. Black Bathing Suit is an amazing work of art and one of my fav lana songs right now. I strongly recommend listening to this album. In my opinion it is better than Chemtrails, Lust for Life, and possibly even Honeymoon. A very strong 10/10 from me. All ofThis album is so amazing and beautiful.

    Es como un lienzo de reconciliación en la carrera de Lana del Rey. Thunder es de las mejores canciones junto con Dealer donde sus efectos vocales simbolizan una liberación.

    Some of her best work. It's super personal and reflects on her life and current thoughts more than some of her other albums. I love that it included previously unreleased tracks and has some lyrical connection to her works. Overall I absolutely loved this album. 10/10.

    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.
