We're Almost To The End!! Lana Del Rey Blue Bannisters Reaction/Review

[@noahbeck766]

not everyone gets this album, it’s my favorite lana album and the perfect fall album in my opinion, not a lot of people know this but it’s mostly made up of unreleased outtakes from previous albums that never made it like nectar of the gods and cherry blossom were supposed to be on ultra violence but were scrapped and eventually reworked to fit this album

[@ChanRawrer]

this album is released specifically for the longtime fans, with half of the tracks being "unreleased" old songs.

[@EMOTIONBIGLIFE]

Agree

[@navyocean2477]

This is definitely one of her best. Some of the best Ultraviolence era tracks, along with songs similar to Chemtrails Over The Country Club. It's like my fav three albums of hers combined.

[@Jamie_Ashe]

A lot of people know it’s unreleased outtakes. That’s why some people were really upset. I remember hearing a lot of complaints during the first 5 hours it was released. I was in a huge thread and people were saying this album felt like a blooper, which I DISAGREE WITH. But honestly, while I LOVE this album, it’s a weaker one when you pair them with the ones between it. That being said, I listen to this album at least once every two months lmao

[@lovexavier]

real

[@housekinokuni903]

Lana said she wanted nobody to listen to this album except her fans because she just wanted to tell them where's she at in her life. Ocean blvd now man that's a masterpiece.

[@diegonaylor7673]

Agreed....Candy Necklace is my #1 played track since it dropped lol

[@housekinokuni903]

@@diegonaylor7673 Candy necklace is high ART. Not everybody gets it or understands it. It was also my no.1 song last year on Spotify wrapped

[@diegonaylor7673]

[@saratborahh]

No one talks about Thunder , what a beautiful song

[@maevy777]

fr it’s my fave song on the album

[@ReyReyzzz]

This album is very 2021-coded. Listening to it now in 2024 takes you back to the covid days

[@Hanansax]

For real

[@Terry_whispers]

totally! That's why I love this album so much!

[@krishernandez5456]

100%

[@evan.iraheta]

Same with Chemtrails Over The Country Club

[@PearceTaylor]

It does! I remember the first time I heard it, I was sitting in Bryant park in nyc…I had just moved to nyc after a lifelong dream of moving there … they were just beginning to put up the winter decorations and I was immediately hooked to Arcadia

[@typicalltony]

Also I understand your reaction to this album. This is one of those albums where its like you kinda have to be there in order to fully grasp and understand what she's talking about in a lot of these songs. Blue Banisters came out during a not so great time for Lana between her relationship ending, the pandemic, black lives matter and the media terrorizing lana for gaining weight during the pandemic there were a lot of emotions in the making of this album.

[@ChanRawrer]

i think this album is more specific for the fans to understand her stories even more, its for the Lana lore edit: and it's the album with most "unreleased" songs. Dealer, Thunder, Nectar, Living Legend, Cherry Blossom, those were all unreleased songs, written long before this album. this album is definitely for the long time fans ps. That "guitar solo" was actually her voice 😂

[@natalieneumann8875]

exactly

[@daisyrot]

the end of living legend is lana singing and she’s imitating a saxophone

[@matiaszorondo7980]

Es una guitarra no un saxofón

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

It's one of my favourite lana albums. Dont understand the hate for it.

[@QweenFatimaOfficial]

Because it’s one of those albums not everyone gets, ppl these days like catchy songs that flow not poetic story telling

[@MM-ep6fy]

Blue Banisters (title track) she met a man who made all these life promises to her (paint her banisters blue, give her children) but he didn’t follow through, her sisters/friends step in instead to heal/support her & paint them instead - banisters going from blue to green/grey could also symbolise bruises from the hurt caused by this man

[@coryb7404]

Another thing about this album is that she didn’t even promote it not once she wasn’t really wanting to put this project out because it told a lot about her personal story she said “the album is there for the ones who really care and want to know more but nothing else”

[@HunterCulton]

I get so happy when I see you guys react to Lana

[@typicalltony]

Sweet Carolina is a love letter to her sister Caroline who at the time was expecting her first child making Lana offically and Aunt

[@nekko_5675]

the colour “blue” is often associated with (especially in lana’s discography) the feeling of sadness, and a “banister” is something you hold on to. she is essentially implying with the title that she is holding onto her sadness, whether thats to create her music or because of certain experiences. the overall theme of this album is very deep and not easy to understand with just one listen, which is how it became one of my top albums by her! every time i came back to it i found something new in a track that i didn’t realise or appreciate before

[@Lanastan843]

Please react to her last studio album Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd It's AMAZING

[@Alexkarev17]

her best album fr

[@Simperwolf]

They will

[@albusseverus5996]

I really can’t wait. I’ll pay like. $100 bucks to watch it now

[@vpa4705]

no it's not

[@shamarmittelholzer2985]

17 mins in and I know u guys gunna miss the meaning of wildflower wildfire. As I said. Still here for it

[@bellsngems]

no literally. It's my favorite song off this album and it went right over their heads 😭

[@evan.iraheta]

Lana, without doubt, is one of the best lyricists of our generation.

[@natalieneumann8875]

wildflower wildfire and nectar of the gods are her most beautiful songs to ever exist in my opinion.

[@thesweetestofsorrows]

Cherry Blossom is a children's song, It's one of their leaked songs, so the word Blossom means birth, rebirth, creation of a new being (but these are also for a short time). But the sycamore tree, which in ancient Egypt was associated with death, is also mentioned. Fans have theories, It may be her talking to her inner child or that this one was addressed to her sister's child (as she was pregnant when the album was being filmed, she even appears in the Blue Banister music video) and the other is darker, as it is believed that it could be addressed to a possible the loss of an unborn baby, as the whole song is about giving confidence and that could explain why Lana calls him a little ghost.

[@jazzifizal]

this is my favorite lana album not sure why people hate it so much🤷🏽‍♀️

[@Peridot07]

Ppl are deaf

[@andreguilherme_]

The bro with the black shirt is the only one that interests me when he talks about his thoughts after listening to the full song, I think the same as him on many of the tracks and honestly, this is an album that only grows with time

[@andreguilherme_]

6,5 for Black Bathing Suit is wild bro

[@tankdempsey84]

thunder such a vibe

[@lxmnstr]

“I feel like smoking a cigarette after that” to the Dealer song is soo real 😂

[@sicklewing]

Can’t wait for Ocean Blvd reaction! I will warn you, the album has really long drawn out songs because the subject matter is heavy and talks about her personal life. This entire album talks about her personal life a lot, so bring some tissues. The best way to describe this album is what the title says: tunnel. You come to a tunnel with all your pain and grief and mistakes, and as you travel through the tunnel it gets darker, and your sorrow overfills, but you then see a light at the end of the tunnel, and your worries and pain slowly vanishes away. The bulk of the album is piano, with two interludes. The interludes are there to tell a story but other than that, they are not really interesting or have replay value. The beginning of the album is more dark and sinister, with piano ballads. The middle of the album is still piano but it’s more ominous in production, talking about very heavy things. And the end of the album is more lighter lyrics and production, with experimental production and trap beats.

[@cristabelfrancisco8999]

WHAT YALL THOUGHT WAS THE GUITAR IN LIVING LEGEND WAS HER VOICE

[@ninjaturtles12121]

you guys totally missed the blue bannisters meaning. the man she was seeing had made promises to her and the metaphor she uses is that he said he would paint her bannisters blue but he never did so she finds solace in her friends and community. the community and her support group come together to help her get over him and paint her bannisters green for her. the baby on the way is her sister's baby she is talking/commenting about the events her support group is celebrating so the way she gets over him is by being surrounded with her people.

[@meleh_m]

Sighs…(immediately closes this reaction to watch Ajays)

[@Hanansax]

Lmao you’re so real for this

[@Jhp29000]

Same I need some pointers for the next album

[@itsChanandler]

Right????? It baffles me. It’s giving himb0 vibes

[@meleh_m]

@@itsChanandler the fact that I’m South African and English is my second language and I understood everything makes this even more confusing.

[@bellsngems]

please don't just listen to the album, you really have to take in the lyrics, maybe check out Genius while listening to it. that was a big reason this album wasn't as good to you lot as other albums have been. Lyrics (like Ocean Blvd are personal to her and if you know nothing about her life during that time period, it just ain't going to hit). Truthfully reading lyrics and getting a touch of Genius is a MUST for Ocean Blvd album. Otherwise I'm 100% sure it's going to go over y'alls heads.

[@kingjay239]

I’m not ashamed to say how fast I clicked on this lol

[@fernandobatresarias]

This album can seem messy by the lyrics to people who really dont understand her backstory and love life in a way and whay happened in 2020-2021 but i feel like you guys should’ve have at least looked at the meaning behind the songs because this is like a first time lana really opens up about her life and she continues it with ocean blvd but truly this is an album that people should look into the lyrics yk cause its such a personal album.

[@Uneeize]

This album is BEAUTIFUL

[@stephenapple90210]

The Trio represents covid crashing us while she was in the process of doing this album. That's why she starts talking about covid in the next songs.

nah ocean blvd outdoes this album by a landslide bro i cant wait for you to listen to that

[@leone1943]

Yeah tho I'm a bit scared that they'll miss out on it, because they don't focus (nor care, from what I see) about the lyrics and Ocean Blvd is all about the lyricism

[@sskjdfjje]

@@leone1943 yeah its a generational album but its mostly in her lyricism and vulnerability in that so you gotta spend time with it fs

When listening to Ocean Blvd (and any Lana album really) please read the lyrics while listening! Otherwise it's easy to miss the meaning, which is the main point of her music imo

[@skbff5968]

This album is very personal and experimental, but it’s also very beautiful. I love this album so much and it’s my favorite that Lana has made. I think for you guys to enjoy Lana’s music more, you should start by listening to the lyrics a little more closely so that you can try to understand the nuance and storytelling rather than just focusing on whether you like the beat

[@ImTuxedoCake]

YESSSSSS FINALLY😭

[@PattyH-u1p]

Thank you 👏🏼👏🏼 can’t wait for the next one 😆

You guys should keep genius on while reacting to lana. Not everyone is smart enough to get her lyricism on first listen.

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

@@scorpiosun4 at least it gives u some idea where the song is heading lyrically

[@fernandobatresarias]

Black bathing suit in the end she talks about and also in a frustrated voice about how people talk about her ( her gaining weight ) and she says that they might talk about her body and how they know her better than she does and even tho they talk about her shes still making money from that talk so she just thanking them

FINALLY

[@brycebrickner4723]

At least from what I’ve read, it is believed blue banisters is about a past abusive relationship and healing from the trauma. The blue banisters are supposed to represent bruises and the way they start out blue and as they heal the fade to green and then gray.

[@daisyrot]

that’s not it at all. blue banisters is about a relationship lana was in and how he promised her all these things and never showed up(figuratively and literally)

[@marinadelrey96]

I mean i understand you didn't like some songs it's okay. Different taste. But in general love you guys

[@enricomodarelli8003]

After you react to tunnels you should react to her poetry album Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass. Spoken word poetry by Lana over some piano instrumentals. You guys would like it especially if you guys end up liking tunnels.
