    The Lana's second record this year, works almost as a complement to the predecessor, "Chemtrails Over the Country Club."

    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.

    This album are a truly full experience. THIS is how Lana Del Rey sounds like. That glamorous melancholy that makes the world stop for a four minute song. Don't have enough words for this, but: This is art. And, Lana Del Rey is doing this better than anyone.

    The most personal and beautiful work that Del Rey puts out. Her voice sounds so well produce and tracks like Black bathing suit, Sweet Carolina and Living legend really stand outs of all of her discography.

    Крізь ці пісні подорожуєш альбомом,як життям Лани,тут записи з 2013,2015,2017 і 2020…
    Як завжди,альбом характерний творчості міс Дель Рей,проте не схожий на жодні записи раніше. Я схиляюся думки,що альбом потрібно слухати повністю,а не частково й вибірково декілька пісень. Тільки тоді,проаналізувавши лірику,тексти,інструментал,емоції,котрі у тебе викликає ця музика,сенс слів і кожної ноти,    Крізь ці пісні подорожуєш альбомом,як життям Лани,тут записи з 2013,2015,2017 і 2020…

The way she screams feels absolutely thepeutic and real. The atmosphere is completely profound with an amazing production. Definitely one album that will grow better with every listening.

    Lana se define como una poeta en Blue Banisters, un álbum lleno de hermosas baladas muy intimas y personales, uno de los mejores álbumes de Del Rey.

    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.
