It's some of her best songwriting and is more personal than ever before.

    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.

    Lana narrates a story that empowers any fan that struggles with the reality of stifling ones true self for the sake of being 'accepted'. Blue Banisters, one might say, is an album Lana has been making her entire career, what with some of the songs recorded as long ago as 2013. Truly an experience, living the life of a living legend.

    Blue Banisters provando novamente Del Rey como uma artista completamente realizada, com toda certeza esse é o segundo melhor álbum da artista, ficando atrás somente do clássico e inesquecível NFR. Um álbum lindo, rico e muito satisfatório, um grande concorrente para o AOTY.

    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.
