    While it keeps Lana's musical essence, this album still manages to sound different from anything she's made before. Absolutely incredible.

    É de fato, uma obra maravilhosa. É incrível como Lana cresce a cada álbum, por mais que esse não seja o melhor de todos, ele não fica nem um pouco inferior aos outros.

    Un album parfait pour l’automne avec son atmosphère mélancolique, très personnel et touchant dans ses textes. Les sonorités m’ont beaucoup plu, c’est une œuvre vraiment belle et apaisante, du grand art comme Lana del Rey sait si bien le faire.

    A forma como ela se mostrou de verdade nessas músicas é incrível. O lado poeta dela fala mais alto do que nunca e o piano melancólico só reforça a força lírica disso tudo. Amo demais.

    Lana Del Rey, mais uma vez, entregou um álbum impecável e único. Com vocais, composições e produção extremamente bem pensadas e executadas, Lana entrega um dos melhores álbuns de 2021.

    Her vocals, her poetic lyricism just make this beautiful body of work. Definitely overhated in the fan base. The mostly piano and guitar ballads of this album compliment her lyrics really well. Can’t wait for the next one!

    Blue banisters is an amazing album, the songs individually are amazing and the tracklist blends them together beautifully. The instrumentals are so cohesive and overall I think this is her best work to date.

Dealer is such a great song as well as If You Lie Down With Me, Violets For Roses, Black Bathing Suit, Thunder, etc. I really love every song in the album. If You Lie Down With Me outro is one of the best outros in the album. Expand

    This is an amazing album! It’s full of depth and really dives into Lana’s personal story. A lot of the songs are very moving and deserve a good listen. If you don’t like this album, chances are you’re a young teenager and don’t understand the concepts and long for more music similar to Born To Die despite the fact you still also don’t understand that album.

    even though some may disagree on the quality of production, i believe it is perfectly tailored to each individual song. not only are the songs moving, they are some of the most personal by lana and it is similar to a letter to her fans the way she wrote many of the songs. and nothing can beat the picsart cover singles rollout which completes the album.

    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.
