    This is my favourite Lana album and is sadly so misunderstood as being boring. It's just a masterpiece and is fully no-skips which is honestly something I very rarely say about an album. It's some of her best songwriting and is more personal than ever before. It's just a delight from start to finish with a clear and cohesive vibe and yet has a few surprises like Dealer in the midst of someThis is my favourite Lana album and is sadly so misunderstood as being boring.

    Um dos mais sensíveis e delicados de Del Rey. É um álbum que consegue transmitir emoções através das letras e das melodias.

    Blue Banisters, pra mim, é o álbum mais maduro artisticamente de Lana Del Rey. Um álbum pessoal, que traz vivências da cantora e de suas pessoas mais próximas. Sua composição é o seu ponto mais forte. Destaque para as faixas Thunder, Living Legend, Violet for Roses, Dealer e Sweet Carolina, que mostram a grande capacidade vocal da cantora e interpretação de um personagem na composição.

A produção do álbum talvez não tenha sido a melhor, oque é decepcionante visto a grande capacidade do mesmo. A falta de investimento em divulgação fez com que o álbum tenha sido imemorável diante de outros trabalhos da cantora, repetindo o mesmo erro que vimos em Chemtrails Over The Country Club, antecessor do Blue Banisters.… Expand

    I usually like Lana's albums but this one right here, not really my cup of tea. I liked a few songs but overall wasn't solid as a project

    It's a "raw" album full of emotions and feelings, it's possible to see Lana's maturation as a person and as an artist, even more if compared to Lana from "Born to Die"

    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.
