Text Book and Blue Banisters are pleasant islands of tranquility in today's increasingly fast-paced music world.

The whole album is, I think.

 

It's slow, deep, painful and hopeful as well. There are things that could have done other way, but Blue Banisters is solid and mature, thoughtful and inmensely beautiful. Just a classic. It may have dethroned Honeymoon as my favourite Lana album, I guess.

The three singles are amazing, this time of year when spring is slowly warming up. I might be a « year too late » when it comes to loving these three songs: my headspace wasn’t at all in the BB atmosphere last year when they were released (I wanted something big and fun to get out of the pandemic, and BB might have been too thoughtful at the moment). But it’s crazy how I connect with most of the songs right now, how perfect they feel.

 Cherry Blossom, living legend and Nectar of the Gods are so unnecessary tbh. All the other songs make up a perfect era. She should've released those 3 as a single. Not on the album but I rest my case otherwise this album is perfect (I'm not even gonna mention Beautiful it's so bad but the world deserves to hear Picasso and him being sad...) I'm done

Blue Bannisters is definitely a grower. It's the most honest portrait of who lana del rey is by heart, after all the chaos that she lived around those confusing times, numb by the camera flashes, lovers and drugs. The single trio took time to many of the fans get into it but, finally, they're perceived as good songs, and important songs to her discography imo. It's not the grandiosity that many of us always are looking for in the next record but it's a delicate masterpiece that every track tells you a little secret, a little memory that leave you with a different taste in the mouth. In long-term, this album will be very important in documentaries to understand HOW lana del rey thinks, feels and tells her stories. It's like a behind the scenes.

Living Legend and Cherry Blossom are perfect as they are, no rework needed.

I asked Asmodeus (the demon of lust) to make Miley Cyrus suffer. I am not happy with these new developments. After Miley rips off Lana's aesthetic, she bullies Lana into changing her release date. It is infuriating.

Top 4 LDR album. If you get it you get it if you don’t you don’t if you know you know

 

Spoiler

That said I would probably remove NotG, LL, and CB simply because they don’t fit with the rest of the album as they are. They are stripped back ballads like much of the rest of the album but they sound a decade old. They’re her songs and she’s free to do with them as she wishes but I don’t get why she didn’t re-record or add anything new to them; as has already been pointed out she re-did Thunder and IYLDWM. The album flows better without these three songs in their current state imo

 

Spoiler

Also no NFR is not in that top 3
