I'm still mad about that 0. That's BS. They just talked about her persona and literally didn't mention the album, but yet it still counted.

That review literally has no credibility whatsoever if you read it and also consider the fact that that site doesn't review pop albums...

That zero, because there are only 33 total reviews counted for BTW on Metacritic, actually lowers her overall average about 2-3 points. Without it, her average is a 73-74 (depending on rounding), which solidly puts it ahead of The Fame (71) and also solidly on par with Beyonce's 4 (73) and Adele's 21 (76). Of course, ultimately a few points here and there on Metacritic don't really matter, but it's just incredibly annoying that a review that is basically trolling can have that much influence over a major pop album's perceived critical acclaim.

Exactly. I really have no idea why Metacritic considers them credible. They did the same thing to Born To Die; the review was just an index of how many times various words appear on the album.

38. Bjork: Post
11. Lady Gaga: Born This Way

[LDYGG]

I can't at people acting like BTW is a bad album. But really, what can you expect from a forum filled with people who prefer "**** me, lick me, let's party all night" to any other form of pop music. "The Edge of Glory" alone is enough reason for BTW to be on this list.

[Dark Phoenix]

At least Madonna is here.

[Stevie]

No Florence or Rihanna?

[Dingdong123]

Taylor Swift getting there with the masterpiece SPEAK NOW! They know the truth.

It's not the worst thing ever but it's not the eleventh greatest female album of all time.

Putting it above albums like The Miseducation, JLP and Rhythm Nation 1814 is an embarrassment.

Why are Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Beyonce and Adele on this list? I mean, they're good enough albums, but the Top 50 female albums EVER?

Also, I love Aretha, but RS are just licking her ass again. That album is not "great" by any means, and neither are her other albums.

Either Joni or Dusty deserved to be Number One.

Gurl, stop(talking about your aretha two piece) that is yoir damn opinion, quit trying to pass it off as a ****ing fact. Sit!

Where's Christina? 'Stripped'... 'Back to Basics'...?

I mean, if we really want to get into brass tacks about misguided rankings, I find 21 in all its vanilla glory sitting pretty at #6 (ALL TIME) to be more unnerving.

[iseeyouupsidedown]

at least Yeah Yeah Yeahs got up there one of my faves. I think Metric should have too though... But I'm not sure which album it would be for them...Their only mainstream success was Fantasies I guess, and it's a good record but... meh. This list isn't bad overall though. Considering it's only counting mainstream success albums...


edit: on second look through though the list kind of sucks... Born this Way at 11, 4 ranked period, and no Body Talk by Robyn? Body Talk is one of the most critically acclaimed female pop albums EVER. I've never seen a bad review for it.

Well yeah, I do agree that it's too high. But I won't complain.

List invalid because of Born this Way.

Go away Riri stan. What an immature fool.

I love Rolling Stone. Many albums on there are great, albeit some might be too high, but Back to Black needs to be on there!!

Gaga is in the right place. Born This Way IS that good.
Ray of Light should be there.

Lauryn Hill & Alanis should be higher.
21 should definitely be lower.

& maybe another Bjork album wouldn't hurt (:

[Evangeline]

Not gonna lie lol I haven't heard like 3/4 of them in entirety so I wouldn't know.
Well atleast Born This Way made the cut.It got a great metacritic score,got nominated for AOTY at the Grammys,continues to be praised by several reputed magazines and critics,and people continue to be pressed.

I am like...this close to cancelling my subscription. As Adele would say, rubbish list.
