Thoughts on lana del ray new album coming out blue banisters will the weeknd be featured in it that would be amazing one can only hope and dream 🙌❌⭕
What is her best song from this album?
Tell me what you think
I haven’t really been an active Lana listener in the past. I’ve enjoyed a couple of her songs (Young and Beautiful, Summertime Sadness, etc.) but haven’t sat down to listen to her discography. I noticed she just released a new album, Blue Banisters, and figured I might as well jump into her music. Where should I begin? Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: so I’ve taken some of your guy’s advice and started listening to the albums chronologically. I’m about halfway through Honeymoon now and so far my favorite album has been Ultraviolence.
This is such an amazing album that I only actually took the time to listen to in April. I can’t believe I had been sleeping on it for so long. After several months of listening to it almost every day, I can safely say it’s my third favourite Lana album, after NFR and UV. It truly is a masterpiece and it’s unlike anything else she made. Musically, it’s probably her most grungy album, it’s kind of haunting and it feels like she is trying to seduce or even hypnotize her audience, like a mermaid.
Lyrically it’s extremely strong. She explores a lot of different themes, and I love that it’s not just love-themed the whole time. Overall just a really great album that would have gotten so much more appreciation and recognition if it had been released later in her career.
My ranking:
- Kill Kill
- Raise Me Up (Mississippi South)
- Pawn Shop Blues
- Jump
- Gramma
- Queen of the gas station
- Mermaid Motel
- For K part 2
- Yayo
- Oh say can you see
- Put me in a movie
- Smarty
- Brite Lights

I’m currently listening to the album and I just realized how underrated it seems to be. Honestly the whole album is such a bop! It has some of her best songs (imo), kill kill, oh say can you see, mermaid motel, put me in a movie, yayo and one of my favorite songs of all time, for K part 2. I wish people would show this album more love, cause it honestly deserves it! I hope she re-releases it someday, I would love to have it on Spotify!

I thought it would be a cool idea to have a discussion about her a.k.a. album, sorta celebrating her roots. What are your opinions on the album? Favorite songs? I'm always taken back by how different her overall sound was, instrumentally and vocally.
What album out of Lana’s discography would you consider to be the most “Lana Del Rey” and why?
it’s the first song that actually made me appreciate my headphones. Insanely well made, great for picking out details and just generally drifting away
