Blue Banisters

I must say I only discovered Lana about a year ago, but Ive deep dived into her catalog and now have spent considerable time with all of her records except "ocean Blvd " which I ordered today. I love them all in somewhat different ways and some more than others but (and I may be dead wrong on this because I haven't followed her career very long) I feel this is the great album that everybody slept. It seems rather ignored and therefore I didn't have very high hopes for it. Boy, was I blown out of the water. This is a solid album with no tracks to skip and loaded with everything that makes Lana the immaculate enigma she is Truly, one of her best. Perhaps it suffered in the long shadow cast by "NFR" followed by her weakest(imo),Chemtrails, or maybe the fact that they all came out in rapid succession. Who knows but this album certainly needs more attention and more respect than I see it recieving. Absolutely heartbreaking. I love you Lana. Hope I get to meet you one day and give you a big hug

I have been listening to Blue Banisters since it’s release and I wanted to give it a thorough listen before reviewing. After almost 2 months of daily listening I’ve decided it’s my favorite LDR album yet and I have them all. This is a deeply personal album and the majority of Blue Bannisters feels extremely autobiographical. Her songwriting has never been better. And her voice is doing things I’ve never heard before. On songs like Arcadia, Blue Banisters and Beautiful Her vocal range is gorgeous. The way she ends the song Wildflower Wildfires sends chills up my spine every time. LDR sings about vulnerability with lyrics like “ The Santa Clarita Fires scare me, I wish that it would rain” sound terrifying and beautiful all at once. A third of the album is from earlier recordings but these songs like Dealer, Thunder etc. are excellent. My only suggestion would have been to start the album with these older songs and morph into the newer songs. Blue Bannisters is Lana at her best. I commend her for putting out such high caliber music consistently over the past decade. LDR is an American musical icon.

So yeah, Lana doesn't disappoint but her own favorite is Arcadia and I hate it. It sounds like a tryout for a talent show for a high school. Normally, Lana leaves any trace of a nasal flourish out of her songs but there have been some vocals before where I thought she had a cold. This isn't that... its a shrill spike to my ears and I have to skip the song. The lyrics are embarrassing. I do like the rest, however. A lot. I love the outro to If You Lie Down With Me. My only real beef is the recording on BB is so bad - I can hardly hear her over the instruments. And on Wildflower, the distorted beat had at least two YT reactors thinking their speakers were blown.

Exactly what I ordered and was delivered on time.

Like her voice so much and this album definitely shows how talented she js

Best album ever. Arrived wobbly, I grabbed the vinyl as soon as it arrived so it’s not my fault lol.

Great album, arrived quickly & well-packaged, absolutely no damage during shipping.

Came in great condition love the sound on this vinyl over great experience

Este álbum de la cantante es muy romántico, las canciones que lo componen realzan la divina voz de Lana del Rey. ¡Este álbum va a ser una de las joyas de mi colección de los Cds de esta cantante estadounidense! La entrega ha sido rápida.

Lana del Rey is one of those rare artists that gets better and better. And that’s a true achievment, considering that she was the best one out there from the beginning 🥰

Very good song writing. She is very good at expressing different perspectives of all the parts of the album which makes the songs exceptionally good to listen to, definitely worth buying you will definitely like this one.

Chegou bem rápido

Grote fan van Lana! Goed verpakt.
