Ooh her critically panned era has returned!

 

You know what this means- OB will be another career-defining album that influences a whole generation!

shaad has been very active on pitchfork ever since quinn moreland called it quits and i’m guessing he wouldn’t publish a review in another magazine that would go too contrary to pitchfork’s opinion. i’m just guessing tho, imo it’ll be a 7.6

He can write the review, but it's a staff score. However, it would be unusual for the same person to review the same record for two publications

I haven't read the reviews yet, they said there's no Candy Necklace? 

Girl, they can't mention a song they don't have

A mess, it's time to fire them 

[Poete]

Guys I’m so sad. Why can’t her team never get anything right? 

[NOW]

Yeah none of the reviews mention Candy Necklace, does no one on her team ever do QA?

One song wouldn't change anything if it ain't extremly great or bad to their taste

I will say it's kinda funny bc if you read some of y'all's posts without knowing the scores, you'd think she was getting dragged to hell and back nnn. Obviously lemme knock on wood cause u never know  but overall, these are fine. They'll never acclaim her like they did with NFR again, so I think averaging out in the low 80s is all we can ask for

[GentleDance]

Imagine if it was the interludes that were omitted 

[Azealia Banks]

But we all knew it was going to be polarizing lol idk why are yall acting like this...

i know, what i’m saying is his opinion is definitely similar to those other critics at pitchfork. if he didn’t give a 5/5 for the guardian, i think it’s unlikely that she’ll score a 8+ on p4k

[ontherocks]

While not having one song on the album ain't a bad thing, but letting reviewers get their hands of a copy with two interludes back to back with basically just eight minutes of rambling, mumbling and noise, is a choice

I believe Pitchfork will save us. Let’s manifest, geighs! 

[stjosephprey4us]

Quick someone check if one of the reviews accidentally mentions the title of the song candy Necklace replaced 

[EdgeofTeeth]

if pitch gives it below an 8 then we may have a case of sabotage on our hands 

[stjosephprey4us]

Wbk the critics were tasteless, If anything be glad, we may be getting LDR10 w Rock Candy Sweet and the screaming song as her “revenge against the culture” 2.0 this year

10/10

Cut the crap with the meltdowns, y'all let what other people say dictate your thoughts too much. Get your own brain!

Listening to two long interludes back to back is definitely an exhausting experience, at least Candy Necklace is a full 5-minute song and you get distracted for a second, what her team is doing

But is that real? or they are just omitting Candy Necklace because they didn't care for it? i mean that could happen too... plus she announced the album a long time ago with CN on the tracklist

wait I think the restock of the co*aine necklace is the fan surprise, not the listening parties.

I thought this too, but why would BZ be “soo happy” or whatever about that… the listening parties also doesn’t make sense bc BZ said we would be shocked. But whatever honestly at this pt I gave up bc the only realistic thing that I was actually hoping for was a YTH release and 1) we already have it and 2) it would have over shadowed her album’s release, so I’ve made peace w not getting anything
