    She did it again! In less than a year Lana Del Rey gives us another masterpiece, we don't need to compare hers albums because each of them have their own significance and Blue Banisters it's the more autobiographical and kind of them.

    The Lp is a closer media to the Norman **** Rockwell record and unfollows the Chemtrails Over the Country Club of a mess.    … Expand

    I feel like this is the album (I have been waiting for) we should have received in 2017, had we been in another timeline and she had not chosen to go the route of Lust for Life, and then met Jack Antonoff (probably due to the inclusion of older songs). BB joins UV + HM in the trifecta of excellence.

    AMAZING! If you don’t like it, try listening again in a quiet, reflective space. This album really makes you think about Lana’s journey as an artist and altogether is more like spoken word poetry than pop, alt, or indie music. I’m so proud of her and can’t wait for her new poetry book and future albums!

    Amazing album, always raising the bar for everyone else. What can I say she is the sensation even after 10 years and 8 albums. She always manage to make her words sounds true and real. Her vocals are amazing and she dare to experiment more and more with them. One of the most personal project to date that dive deep into her personal life without any pretention.

    On Blue Banisters, Lana Del Rey dives into her past, brings it to the light of day and intertwines it with her recent breakup with Sean and the criticism she’s been receiving from the medial and the general public for how she looks and her honesty. Blue Banisters is the perfection successor to Norman **** Rockwell and Chemtrails Over The Country Club. Raw, unfiltered, brilliant.

    LDR fans will likely find lots to love on "Blue Banisters," as Lana's soaring vocals and melancholic lyrical musings remain as stellar as ever, but newcomers/general listeners may find their patience tested by instrumentals so stripped-back they're nearly non-existent as well as the nigh-comatose pacing of the album's first half before it truly springs to life in the second.

    Haters will hate, but art is art. Lana gave away her soul and dark secrets, her point of view of heartbreak, happiness and life itself. From the beginning to the end you can channel her mood and fall into a new fantasy with a perfect poetic storytelling. In conclusion, Lana del Rey did it again.

    Blue Banisters, is an album with rich instrumentation, simpler than Lust for Life and NFR! but better than its predecessor.
    Lyrically it is strong, delving deeper into her personal life. Lana is very creative and despite releasing 3 albums in the last 2 years, each one turns out to be very different and details different facets of her life. Vocally it is less elaborate, but the    Blue Banisters, is an album with rich instrumentation, simpler than Lust for Life and NFR! but better than its predecessor.

    It's so cohesive yet so diverse. There are soft beats reminding Honeymoon the album and lots of piano ballads reminding us NFR! The length of the album might've been a little shorter because 14 songs (not counting the trio) is a bit hard to process all in once. Her vocals have been on another level since NFR! we can clearly agree on this I think

    3 LIVING LEYEND
    Y una mención honorífica a THUNDER, canción que muchos ya conocían pero en mi opinión esta versión remasterizada me pareció totalmente adaptada al contexto que el álbum nos quiere transmitir.
    Empecemos por lo más difícil por procesar en este álbum, the high vocals, las letras e instrumental, algo que muchos a los que nos gusta la música de LDR estábamos acostumbrados a escuchar desde NFR, personalmente me hizo regresar a vivir otra era tan emocionante como lo fue Ultraviolence y NFR, no quiero decir que COTCC fue mala pero sin duda esta nos dejo una experiencia totalmente distinta que se apega a un contexto bastante claro, y con esto me refiero a la conducta que Elizabeth ha tenido durante los últimos meses dentro de lo que ella nos ha querido compartir en sus redes sociales, es grato saber que no necesita cambiar su estilo de música para podernos dar algo de tanta calidad como lo ha hecho hasta ahora, cada una de las canciones en ese álbum, puede representar a unos cuantos muchos de nosotros. Aquí les va mi top 3 de canciones de BLUE BANISTERS :

    Blue Banisters is another masterpiece that Lana del Rey carved from the most intimate moments of her life. It shows precious evolution in lyrics and composition, also restating her as one of the most important and iconic songwriters and poets of the century.

    Lana Del Rey has topped herself with this record - and yes I am including her critically acclaimed 2019 album ‘Norman F***ing Rockwell’ in that - with her eighth studio effort titled ‘Blue Banisters’.

From her silky tones in the opening track ‘Text Book’ to the vulnerability of ‘Black Bathing Suit’ to the rock tones and influences of ‘Dealer’, Del Rey shows us all what she does best - be an artist. For years now Del Rey has been cemented in the roots of alternative music, but has never put out a record so vulnerable but confident, happy but sad as this before. Besides the songs themselves, being a very cohesive project, ‘Blue Banisters’ makes a great album in itself and fits perfectly within its chosen aesthetics. This album may be the truest the NY-born singer has ever been… and will ever be to us. I really can’t say more. ‘Blue Banisters’ is a true musical paragon.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As her second full-length studio album in less than a year, I'm beyond excited and amazed about the incredible production, instrumentals and lyrics, besides, the unreleased songs that Lana chose to put in this album just made the whole experience a thousand times better, so thank you so much for this masterpiece, Lana!… Expand

    I do think that this album perhaps sprawls a bit too much, but I also feel like I can't complain; Lana Del Rey is one of the best songwriters of this generation and I'm just glad that we can have as much as we've gotten. Dealer is absolutely gorgeous; I love the way she sings "I don't want to live!"

I love the way we've been permitted to view her in Black Bathing Suit: "The only thing that fits is this black bathing suit / Looking at me, looking over at you." I love the lyrical transformations she makes, like the jump from "Dance me all around the moon / Light me up like the Fourth of July" to "Dance me all around the moon / Like six times 'til I'm sick and I cry." This album is intimate in a way that needs to be treasured. It's not my favorite of her records, and definitely not her most compact, but there are great moments here that should be listened to over and over again.… Expand

    Lana Del Rey já surgiu com a persona de uma artista em decadência - o que refletia sua conturbada vida privada -, causou polêmicas e influenciou toda uma geração.

Após fazer um panorama de sua carreia e um paralelo entre sua ‘decadência’ pessoal e a cultura ocidental em sua obra-prima e 6o álbum de estúdio “Norman **** Rockwell!”, Elizabeth Grant assistiu os rastros químicos sobre o clube de campo, enquanto se preparava para se aprofundar em uma parte pouco conhecida de sua história.

    “Blue Banisters” é um livro de memórias da família, um disco sobre a vida, todas as experiências, pessoas e seus significados. Poucos e acústicos, os instrumentos ajudam a construir uma atmosfera crua e real. Talvez o mais pessoal da cantora, ele soa familiar e diferente, ao mesmo tempo. É como Lana e todas as pessoas: uma mistura de tudo que já fomos e da ânsia pelo que ainda nos tornaremos. Com toda certeza é um dos mais únicos trabalhos da rainha do alternativo. Quantas camadas de tinta seus corrimãos ganharam durante os anos e quantos te ajudaram a pintá-los, em cada fase? Em meu caso, muitas e poucos.    … Expand

    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.
