Lana Del Rey drops new album 'Blue Banisters'

[No Seas Cortes]

I played the album in the background during work

And I really liked this, I have no idea what tracks I liked because I played it all one after another not paying attention to name of the songs

Overall it's such a vibe

[Moscow]

This album is what we deserved after NFR 

[bad media karma]

Lana has been on a strong run since Lust for Life. This isn't as good as NFR but it's just as good as CoCC I think.

[Urbanney]

On first listen, definitely my least favorite Lana album. The lyrics are her most mature though, I enjoyed how personal they were.

This feels like a more mature, experienced, dramatic piano version of Sirens. I love Sirens though, can’t say the same about this…

Black Bathing Suit and maybe Nectar of the Gods are really the only songs I want to replay. The distorted guitar (or voice?) in Living Legend was cool. I love when artists are experimental like that.

Honeymoon remains unbothered, sitting prettily on her throne.

 

What are your thoughts about NFR ? I personally think it's her BEST by far

I still haven't listened to Lust for Life, NFR, and Ultraviolence in full, so I'm a bit of a clown for being so confident in my love for Honeymoon, but based on the songs I've heard, I still don't see anything topping it. I could be wrong, though, because everyone and their mother is calling NFR her best work yet.

if you're into high standard production, NFR is for you. I have no words to describe hoz brilliant it is, between her lyrics+voice and Jack Antonoff's production. I mean ...

Have a glass of wine (or whatever you fancy) and give it a listen

Why am I not curios to play this album?  It never happened to me before with a Lana album!

Probably because she gave 2 albums in a year and just released her poetry book/audio just last year and NFR the year before that.

Tbh, I wasn’t super excited either because I really didn’t care for any of the singles that were released before the album was.

[kfitz421]

Might be my fav tbh 

nothing can top Jack Antonoff production, but then sometimes that creates a scenario where it’s more about him than her 

I feel like Blue Banisters is just Lana and feels like it just highlights Lana as an artist, instead of Lana highlighting a producer if that makes sense 💛

[Alvy]

I.... wow

I don't like this album. I mean, I have listened to it just once and it was just meh to me.

[Mantequilla]

I enjoyed this one more than COCC. 

[femmepop]

I love it.. I love her..

I need to listen to it a few more times before I can fully evaluate it or rank it against the rest of her discography. Her vocals sound so raw and more haunted than ever before.

I love where she's going, I loved COCC..I just respect her as an artist and still feel connected to her music and vibe even if she's changed it up so much from the early albums.

"I was one thing, now I'm being another.."

My forever faves are Ultraviolence, Honeymoon and NFR.

But honestly COCC is solid and beautiful (White Dress, TJF, LMLYLAW, Dark But Just a Game, Yosemite, Dance Til We Die) and I don't understand the hate it gets from her fan base. But yeah BB album feels more like a continuation of NFR in a way that COCC did not.

But it's interesting that she does whatever the **** she wants and is just an jnsanely prolific artist and has made such a timeless and impressive body of work in a matter of 10 years.

I love Lana and could gush about her music all day

 

[Invitation]

Haven't finished this but I like this album!

[electricopop]

I've listened to the whole album, and I must say it's quit good compared to NFR or COCC.

I mean, should we even complained much that girl gave us two albums in a year alone??

[Samer]

I don't care what anyone says, I don't think Lana can make a bad album and Blue Banisters is no exception. I've had it on repeat since it dropped! 

[JSDSandiego]

The lyrics are very mature
Unfortunately, i am not. 

Id say this album is good - not the best, not the worst from Lana. (My favs are LFL, BTD, BTD:P)

[MasterMindz]

So people complain that Adele is boring, and then Lana comes up with the same songs but different lyrics. Okay 

[I Always Sing Live]

@SUCCESSICA IS A QUEEN, I thought I was an intellectual for stanning Dealer, but it has quickly become the most popular song on the album, so I'm not the only one. Not making it a single would be a dumb move on her part.

On YouTube, it's sitting prettily at 1,5 million views, while the rest of the songs are in the 100k-600k range, and if you check Spotify, it's currently her 2nd most popular song.
