    Not her best work, but a super special one. Top tracks imo: Dealer, Sweet Carolina, Black Bathing Suit, Thunder, If you Lie Down With Me.

    Chemtrails Vol. 2 but still so good. Two albums in one year is just excellent. Truly awesome album.

    She has truly outdone herself and that's meritorious since she had already put an excellent album back in March. Blue Banisters is sincere, raw and ambitious.

    the first album mostly produced by lana del rey brings us the chaos of ultraviolence and the song of paradise of honeymoon. i know you love norman **** rockwell, but a singer with a trinity composed of ultraviolence, honeymoon and blue banister has already reached all possible levels of excellence.

    It goes directly to my top 3 Lana's Albums. The storytelling is so simple yet so captivating and poetic.

    Pure Art, this album is Lana Del Rey in all her essence, her unique style stills being amazing after 10 years, while other artist are ending their career in half time, she still making brilliant music, this is her revenge to al the ones who criticized her

    This is the progress of a singer who keeps growing, bringing beauty to the world, and inspire those who are lucky enough to listen. Blue Banisters has some of Lana finest lyrics, and experiments fitting perfectly to her narrative.

    Two Lana Del Rey albums in the span of a few months. This makes for a very, very good year! Chemtrails already established itself as my album of 2021. After one day with Banisters playing it’s clearly going to give Chemtrails a run for my #1 in 2021.

    Esto es sinceramente lo que espere escuchar por mucho tiempo de Elizabeth. La vida imitando el arte.

    Cuando creía que NFR y COTCC nunca podrían ser superados o igualados a nivel de arte y calidad, llega Blue Banisters a demostrarme lo equivocado, en definitiva, Lana del Rey nunca decepciona y se supera a si misma con cada trabajo musical que saca al mercado.

    Simply one of Lana's best work. This record represents a lot. It's intense and contains such a symbolism and talks about her feelings in the most sincere and simple way. But this simple way is what makes this album so complex. And it is very complex indeed.

    This album are a truly full experience. THIS is how Lana Del Rey sounds like. That glamorous melancholy that makes the world stop for a four minute song. Don't have enough words for this, but: This is art. And, Lana Del Rey is doing this better than anyone.

    This is by far Lana's best album. It's one of the first times that she tells a story through the songs and she has never been this personal about her personal life before. All songs are 10/10.

    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.
