    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.

    This album is a masterpiece, comparing it to NFR is impossible as it is in its own league. Lana has truly and honestly grown as an artist from BTD to date, she is one of this generations greatest vocalists and songwriters.

    Such a stunning album and piece of work. I always love hearing Lana’s poetry in the form of songs. I prefer this album over COTCC and it is on par with NFR! It has a wonderful sultry quality to it. (e.g. Textbook, If You Lie Down With Me, Dealer), but it also is somewhat more experimental for Lana.

I prefer this album over COTCC and it is on par with NFR! It has a wonderful sultry quality to it. (e.g. Textbook, If You Lie Down With Me, Dealer), but it also is somewhat more experimental for Lana. You hear more interesting and unusual sounds, such as the pretty little staccato piano riffs at the beginning of Beautiful; the crow sounds at the beginning of Black Bathing Suit; the mock-saxophone she creates with her voice on Living Legend; and most stunningly, the way she lets her voice go crazy high and almost wails out emotively on Dealer. Highly recommend. The album is exquisite. Nothing else would be expected of our Queen Lana though :)… Expand

    Her voice is shining and this album shows how Lana Del Rey improved and aged like fine wine artistically. One of a kind album, one of a kind singer. I loved how experimental this album was and despite being different than any of her previous work, her fans loved it. One of the best albums released this year. Looking forward to her next projects with pure excitement.

    This album did to me what many simply cannot do. I laid in my bed and found myself in a trance, or what could have also been allure. I don't exactly know what it was.

I don't exactly know what it was. I found it very hard to listen to, not necessarily because of any negative reason, I simply don't know, but it is so complex and the embodiment of a wild and emotive ride, truly. Packed with possibly what is Lana's best song writing skills yet, while simultaneously being very reminiscent of the sound of 'Ultraviolence' it feels rewarding and satisfying to observe 'Blue Banisters' become part of what is now an established holy trinity: Her sisters 'NFR', 'Chemtrails over the country club' and now, alongside them, being held by her hand and with her two dogs behind her, here comes 'Blue Banisters'. The two previous albums showcased Lana's maturity and established her as a VERY talented poet, that title cannot be denied, and Blue Banisters as the most recent of Lana's artistic projects is no exception to this title. With the exception of the singles, 'Black Bathing Suit', 'Beautiful' and 'Sweet Carolina' are the highlights of the album in my opinion. It honestly felt just like a novel, full of symbolism and beautiful imagery. 10/10 for me.… Expand

    2 Lana Del Rey albums in 7 months! We are blessed! "Blue Banisters" is a continuation from where "Chemtrails..." left us - but there are significant differences between both records.

Secondly, this record is less folk-based than the previous one; although, we still get glimpses of Joni Mitchell's musical influence in tracks like "Sweet Carolina". "Blue Banisters" also sees Lana open up about her relationship with both of her parents. There's something so honest in the way she discloses details about the issues stemming from this relationship.

    What I really love about "Blue Banisters" is the whole aesthetic of this record. There's still that cinematic feel which we often get with Lana's music, but there's also something so organic and homegrown that takes me back to her Lizzy Grant days.    … Expand

Talking about past trauma and finally finding a peaceful home, givingLana once again demonstrates her talent as a songwriter, telling her story through a very personal sound. As always, on each album, she brings something new and shows an admirable evolution as an artist and singer. True to her sound she is taking her power back, she accepts all of her parts of herself in a beautiful way. Talking about past trauma and finally finding a peaceful home, giving her hope. It is a very empowering and vulnerable album in the most Lana Del Rey way.
    Despite her undeniable influence on current music, it is clear that there is no one else like Lana Del Rey and that is why today, she is still relevant and an inspiration for other huge artists. I loved this album! 10/10    … Expand

    Phenomenal work. Beautiful sound and beautiful lyrics. Love the different ways Lana uses her voice; singing like an angel, a rock star, or a wailing guitar.

    I’m quite frankly shocked at how good this album is. I’m one of those BTD stans who constantly yearns for a Born to Die-esque album, so coming from me, that’s saying something. This album is incredibly cohesive and well paced from start to finish. I just love the 90s alternative vibes and the way she uses her voice like an electric guitar in some songs. Truly a no skip album. HighlightsI’m quite frankly shocked at how good this album is.

    Personally I prefer Blue Banisters to Chemtrails. White Dress is heartbreaking, Yosemite is serene and healing, while running away from all these is not a long-term choice. BB reminds me of cowboys in Trail of Tears/Westward Expansion: we have nothing to lose but blood, sweats and rarely tears. Black Bathing Suit is so extraordinary that brings the whole album to an upper level; On thePersonally I prefer Blue Banisters to Chemtrails.

Each verse and chorus, delivered with a full spectrum of emotional intensity that I don't think I've heard from her quite like this before. Her voice has never been stronger, and, I know it's cliche, but yeah, it's angelic in it's power and beauty. And the melodies - they're soaring and gorgeous. On first listen, I can't even pick the favorites, because every one of them could be in the running. What a precious gift she's given her fans. I couldn't be more proud to be one of them.    … Expand

    Lana bonita, este álbum es muy hermoso, contempla tanto sentimiento, tanto amor y madurez. Uno de los menores sin duda alguna, por no decir el mejor, Los vocalización, la instrumentalización es tan inmaculada. Cada cosa que hace Lana sin pensarlo dos veces es considerado obra de arte. Tener una mezcla de tantas eras en un solo álbum te deja un sentimiento de satisfacción total.

    Las baladas de piano jamás habían sonado de una manera tan especial como en Blue Banisters.
    Del Rey continúa en su trayecto de evolución artística y personal, y hace su segunda parada en lo que va del año. Blue Banisters está al nivel de sus mejores trabajos, y, si me lo preguntan, es hasta ahora su mejor trabajo.

    This album is art in its purest form. I honestly don’t know how she does it time and time again. Constantly raising the bar for us all, and doing it flawlessly. I’d say I'm surprised, but she's LANA DEL REY... Lana does Del Rey, let's be honest here now.

    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.
