It is a celebration of maturity and growing up. The title track manages to create a mesmerizing scenery , as well as Wildflower wildflower. Dealer is the kind of lana I would like to see in her next project, screaming her lungs out with that beautiful voice of hers. I didn’t like text book and nectar of the gods so I can’t give it a ten. I have to say though most times I think ‘Chemtrails Over The Country Club’ , the predecessor of’ Blue Banisters’ seems to be a more even and thought out and polished project which is in my heart Expand

If you don’t like this album, chances are you’re a young teenager and don’t understand the concepts and long for more music similar to Born To Die despite the fact you still also don’t understand that album.

    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.
