    Absolute masterpiece with 0 skips.
    The story telling through the lyrics and the symbolism is just mind blowing. The production, which many people have complained about after her last 2 albums, is so much better, though we still got piano ballads, it was a more mature clean production, very well structured.
    Perfection!

Дилер это что-то, а чери блоссом это маленькая колыбельная, под которую хочется заснуть (в хорошем смысле). Этот альбом что-то личное и родное, особенно чувствуется в песне свит Каролина. Ну альбом шедеврален!… Expand

    One of her best. Simple, but very elegant, deep lyrics, it's like a big personal poem. She is growing to food way, after little disappointing Chemicals over The Country club, this is much bigger.

    I have been growing up with Lana music since I was 11 years old but I never get the feeling that Blue Banisters. I don’t even know how I feel when I listen to it. I be laughing, crying and dancing with every songs from this album. I can cry and move my a&& at the same time.

    It's so cohesive yet so diverse. There are soft beats reminding Honeymoon the album and lots of piano ballads reminding us NFR! The length of the album might've been a little shorter because 14 songs (not counting the trio) is a bit hard to process all in once. Her vocals have been on another level since NFR! we can clearly agree on this I think

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is astonishing and also competing for her best album with NFR…from the strong tone in her voice while it’s usually gentle to the impressive vocals throughout the album, for example where her voice imitates the sax on living legend and her belting on the unforgettable track dealer - this truly is some of her finest work and for me it has became my favourite lana album. I like the contrast between the different types of songs; the interlude which is trap-pop beats, songs like beautiful- a gorgeous piano song (nothing like the boring ones jack antonoff produces), and rock influenced songs like thunder. However it’s done in such a way that you don’t feel overwhelmed. If i were to give this album anything below 10 it would feel like a robbery. Del Rey’s finest album in my eyes. Favourite songs: Dealer, Black Bathing Suit, Violets for Roses, Beautiful, Thunder, Sweet Carolina… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. “All roads that lead to you as integral to me as arteries, that pump the blood that flows straight to the heart of me America.” Lana sings in the third song, “Arcadia,” off of possibly her most important album, “Blue Banisters.” This track highlights one of two key themes from this album. She has always wrote about America, and it’s importance to her. While this track highlights this overarching theme, it also criticizes it, because like the blood in our arteries, we are completely reliant on it. Many people woud like to get rid of their blood. So who’s to say that Lana wouldn’t want to do the same with america? So why does this make it such a great album? Well I think this album does two things, I think this album makes a reflexive criticism of herself, and secondly I think this album points out why some critics and criticisms are unfair. We already explored her reflexivity criticism in, “Arcadia.” However it came from her, and I think the most important criticism comes from within, sure, you can get the spark to change from others, but really changing oneself on the inside is always a personal choice. Which I think brings me to my next point. Validity of criticism comes from within. You decide whether the criticism is valid to you, individuals decide if the criticism garnered at them is valid. Whether this is expressed in the same manner differs, some may get defensive, or project. But this all highlights a telling aspect, that on the inside, most of the time, we know if what we’re doing is harmful. I believe Lana highlights this belief best in her seventh song off Blue Banisters, “Beautiful.” One of the largest of many criticisms coming from news articles expressing disingenuous takes and hot topics criticizes Lana for being too sad. Over the years she has been given the criticism of following the “Sad Girl,” trope, she even sings about this in the song titled the same off of her third studio album, “Ultraviolence.” She counters this argument when she sings, “What if someone had asked Picasso not to be sad? Never known who he was or the man he’d become. There would be no blue period.” Before I continue, I think her example may also highlight misogyny in media and in her criticisms, because even though Picasso paints sad, somber paintings, he has never been criticized for being too sad. She sings that she cannot tell her story without being sad, to tell her story without being sad would be to not tell her story at all. Lana paints out an ever-extending landscape of pro/anti- Americana in her eighth studio album, “Blue Banisters.” The lyrics in the 15 songs tell a story and answer questions we’ve all yearned to ask of her and of society. So what should this album do for us, how does the message of this album convince us to do something? This album tells us to be weary of criticism from parties suspect of leveling criticism for motives beyond criticism, it also tells us to criticize are selves, and at the same time, be comfortable in our current existence, even if it isn’t our end goal. You don’t have to hate yourself to change.… Expand

    Некоторые считают альбом ''унылым'' но так считали и предыдущие её работы, никуда это не денется.

Incluso las canciones que habían Sido descartadas en albums anteriores se sienten tan frescas como "Thunder" Con esos violines.
    "Dealer" Sin decirlo mejor, es una obra maestra en dónde se ve que, Lana, dió su corazón y pasión a esta canción. Los Outro's de la mayoría de sus canciones son magistrales, las letras son poesía pura. Su innovador interludio dejó un sabor fresco para el álbum, los acordes, las notas y la instrumentación utilizada son ejecutadas de tal forma que hace pensar en una balada superior con romanticismo clásico. Mejor de lo esperado, sin duda, Lana del rey ha puesto la vara demasiado alta.    … Expand

    I love Lana’s story telling and song writing and this album did not disappoint. I love a lot of her older work, but I don’t think it meshed well with her newer material on the album, at points it felt disconnected. Though I’m sure she did it for a reason. My personal highlights are Text Book, Blue Banisters, Arcadia, Black Bathing Suit, If You Lie Down With Me, Beautiful, Violets ForI love Lana’s story telling and song writing and this album did not disappoint.

    This album showcases the variety and vulnerability that Lana brings to all of her music while also giving a consistency which is so rare in good mucus today and hasn’t been seen to this level in any of her previous albums. This album truly will change the industry and exemplifies everything great about Del Rey’s artistry.

    A masterpiece, and an achievement for the ages. What Del Rey is able to weave into the lyrics, melodies, and production is nothing short of beauty and opulence.

    this album will make you feel all of your emotions at once. Black Bathing Suit and Dealer are my two favorite songs right now on the album, but it’s really a no skip album.

    Blue Banisters is an album that is too personal. I must say that Lana Del Rey poured her soul and heart on this album. Each songs has different dimension, the production and simplicity of each song tells you that she is really good on what she is doing.

    A lyrically strong album. [Jan 2022, p.82]

    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.
