Though Lana’s vocals and storytelling are interesting enough to make this album a success, there’s no doubt that it’s less instrumentally interesting than many of the classics in her discography.

However, Blue Banisters took the star to the top of the charts for the sixth time and was her second record to head to No.1 in 2021, following March’s Chemtrails Over The Country Club.By this point, Lana Del Rey has joined the ranks of the most prolific and unforgettable artists of the past decade, thanks to her consistency in releasing acclaimed, stylistically diverse albums every year or two. She had previously held that title with Foo Fighters and Coldplay with five Alternative Album No.1s apiece. This song hits somewhere in the middle and by the time the record drops you will hear where we’re at today.”īlue Banisters helped Del Rey set a new record in the Billboard charts, making her the act with the most No.1 albums on the Alternative Albums chart. “If you’re interested go back and listen to the first three songs I put out earlier. “I guess you could say this album is about what it was like, what happened, and what it’s like now,” she explained ahead of its release.
