    A very personal, intimate, beautifully crafted masterpiece which make take a bit of time to sink in due to its more varied melodies and sounds, maybe not as cohesive as all of her other albums (which is not a bad thing and still manages to work perfectly), however after a few listens can definitely become a favorite. Super recommended.

    A Lana consegue se reinventar e se manter fiel a sua essência, letras pessoais com significados nas entrelinhas, as melhores faixas na minha opinião são dealer e Black bathing suit mas todas do álbum merecem destaque por trazer partes da história contada no álbum

    in trices where lying, capping & perpetuating nonchalant behaviour is what keeps people in relevant clouds & that being used as main judge of talent i have to give ms lana props for sticking to honesty, vulnerability and respecting artistry. i am giving this album a 9/10 because she is effortless yet gives the quality channeling mainstream releases.

    Alright, I just went through my first couple listens, and these are my thoughts. First of all, there's something about the conveyance that I'm not 100% sure about. Let's use "Beautiful" as an example. Like she literally served us an amazing lyric referencing Picasso's blue period and NFR, but then its just "Beautiful, beautiful / Beautiful like you" in the same tone as the rest of theAlright, I just went through my first couple listens, and these are my thoughts. First of all, there's something about the conveyance that I'm not 100% sure about. Let's use "Beautiful" as an example. Like she literally served us an amazing lyric referencing Picasso's blue period and NFR, but then its just "Beautiful, beautiful / Beautiful like you" in the same tone as the rest of the song. Like I just want her to go swooning in there "Shades of Cool" style and DELIVER that chorus. Just a little bit harder on the vocals in certain areas of the verses/choruses and I feel like it could have made a bigger impact on a lot of the tracks. I still love "Beautiful" nonetheless, and I hope this makes sense.

    Now. My two absolute favorite things about this album are its vocal layering and melodies. This is usually one of the biggest reasons I love Lana, but there's something about this album that is just especially enthralling in this regard. These elements are what make my favorite songs off Blue Banisters, including "Violets for Roses," and "Black Bathing Suit." I'm not sure how she did it, or ever does it, but she ate and left no crumbs in this department. "Thunder" is certainly a standout track as well imo, which was a pleasant surprise considering I wasn't a huge fan of the demo version. Prior to the album's release, I pretty much never listened to the first three singles (nor did I respect them as I should've), but I revisited them this morning and dayum. I'm still not feeling the title track entirely, but I suddenly adore "Text Book" and "Wildflower." Again, the melodies are just *chef's kiss*.

    Arcadia doesn't need an explanation.

    To continue, I know I said that her vocal technique needed to be pushed further in certain areas a second ago, but it must also be mentioned that she took many risks, especially with "Dealer." We've never heard our girl sound like this before, and even if you don't enjoy it, you must respect her for trying something new.

    Also, I know its not a *Lana* song, but "The Trio" interlude is everything! I honestly kind of wish she would have included more influence from that sound, at least a little bit, but then again, I've always had a burning desire to hear that from her. Some people want Californian Lana, I want Blondie Del Rey and El Mariachi LOL. Don't know why.

    This isn't my favorite Lana Del Rey album, but I'm already bonding with quite a few of the songs. To be fair though, I don't think she could beat Norman Rockwell in my mind, nor could I get the same feeling I did when I listened to "Cinnamon Girl" for the first time, ever again. Right now I'd say its coinciding with Honeymoon and Lust for Life, maybe a tad higher. I certainly love this one more than Chemtrails Over the Country Club, which I still haven't grown attached to and only listen to "Yosemite" on occasion. (I'm sure I'll regret that notion someday, when I finally fall in love with it) Overall, this is certainly an amazing listen for both old and new Lana fans, and doesn't contain a single skip.

    Instant favorites: "Arcadia," "Interlude - The Trio," "Black Bathing Suit," "Thunder"
    Quickly falling in love with: "Text Book," "If You Lie Down With Me," "Violets for Roses," "Wildflower Wildfire," "Nectar of the Gods"
    Least favorites: None really, but "Cherry Blossom" atm, if I had to pick. (Gorgeous, just underwhelming)

    Edit 10/23: Okay, I bumped up my rating to an 8 and Violets for Roses is officially a fave. I'd also say its solidly above Honeymoon (The Blackest Day is still queen though). Pretty sure BB is going to 100% beat out LFL by tomorrow.    … Expand

    Another piece of art by Miss Del Rey. Amazing, we probably have one more album that will shape the music industry of the future.

    OMG, this album is the pinnacle of perfection! truly a sung poetry. The compositions are so sweet, the soft instruments, combined with the angelic voice of Del Rey, giving rise to the Blue Banisters.

    honestly, besides the 'deception' that was chemtrails, this album fixed everything. Top 2 in lana's discography (number one is honeymoon)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The most refined Lana has ever been with her signature sound that somehow is different with each new album, but still 100% authentic to her craft. The lyrics of this album share a much more vulnerable side to Lana compared to her more surface level emotional music on earlier albums such as Born To Die and Ultraviolence. Lana goes into fine detail of these happenings in her life to share her a true side to herself. Later we get beautiful tracks that highlight peaks in her artistry throughout her career all in one album.

    The track Black Bathing Suit is a very experimental song with stunning lyrics and storytelling and a grand outro the pushes out Lana’s emotions more than perfectly into song.    … Expand

    This is the most sensual and incredible work of Lana. The album seems at first glance so family and happy, but every corner of the song envelops you with painful memories, experiences, thoughts about loved ones, and her words and voice take you somewhere far away. Her music envelops us with warm embraces and makes us believe that Lana is with us. The previous work "Chemtrails Over TheThis is the most sensual and incredible work of Lana. The album seems at first glance so family and happy, but every corner of the song envelops you with painful memories, experiences, thoughts about loved ones, and her words and voice take you somewhere far away. Her music envelops us with warm embraces and makes us believe that Lana is with us. The previous work "Chemtrails Over The Country Club" is much weaker than this album. You can feel all the freshness of the instrumental, the words and the concept of the album. I'm in love with this job. My most favorite and penetrating songs were "Black Bathing Suit", "Beautiful" and "Sweet Caroline". Thank her for the work done! Please stream this album!… Expand

    What an amazing album, feels like a love letter from Lana to herself for the last 10 years. This is one of her best records and deserves the praise it’s getting, truly a piece of art, so proud of her.

    Um dos melhores albuns da sua carreira! Apesar de não ser um albúm que se adapta aos requisitos da indústria, atrai bastante o público e a base de fans que Del Rey construi e mantém desde meados de 2010 com "Video Games". Acredito que terá a mesma influência no pop e alternativo que os seus discos anteriores tiveram.

    A lyrically strong album. [Jan 2022, p.82]

    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.
