    Honestly i had my hopes really high for this album and i ended up not liking it. In my opinion Lana is one of the best writers of our generation but this not makes justice to her past work. I would keep listening to it anyways.

    this album represents lana’s healing, as you can see from her earlier works she would talk a lot about some very traumatic stuff, but through this album you can see her development. this is a very raw and honest album. highlights: black bathing suit, living legend, beautiful (and dealer)

    A warm summer evening, a terrace, a candle, a glass of quality alcohol. The patina of the past, melancholy, a cinematic experience. If you approach this piece with silence, delicate arrangements and haunting vocals, you are in for a powerful musical treat.

    Despite feeling like a compilation of throw-aways since Lust For Life's days, Blue Banisters, Lana's second album this year, still manages to destabilize with gorgeously textured tracks.

    If nothing else, at least this pandemic has resulted in artists putting out more albums than could normally be expected. Lana Del Rey releases her 2nd great album of the year.

The last few years have seen her achieve a real consistency across her releases. She can still take the odd misstep but her last few albums have been excellent listens from start to finish. "Blue Bannisters" has less flourishes and production tricks than we have become accustomed to with her but the melodies are present in abundance. On "Blue Bannisters" there is a style across the songs that transports you to another time. It could arguably be trimmed by a song or two but then again such is the quality of the material that it is hard to pick out tracks that would be cut. "Thunder" is a standout track for me but overall top class. Expand

Very seamless and extremly forgettable. Lyrics are hardly ever a point of contention with Lana but with these one's it feels close to a Lana del Rey imitator trying to evoke the cool of "video games " and atmosphere of tge Ultraviolence Lp. Nothing feels worth your time. Arcadia the lead single meanders blindly almost asking to be skipped. Blk bathing suit is a sad shadow of the adept prose and delivery of Ultraviolence(an obvious reference point). Textbook is almost a highlight but collapses under it's own ideas. And whether the proximity to her previous record has a play but I doubt it as many artists have done close releases, Blue Banister (&chemtrails of the country) feel like B side compilations no one really needed. This mediocrity might satisfy die hard fan's and people comfortable with an album being words and a beat that achieve no enjoyment, but as a fan who would be continuously floored as Born to die was topped by honeymoon and honey moon by lust for life and that by NFR ,a fan who had seen an artist with one of the most streamlined discography's I remain in the place of my chemtrails disappointment.

    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.
