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

Ppl care about Lana / the album. It’s natural for us to want her work to get acclaimed. Acclaim = more publicity = more funding for her music, so we ultimately reap the rewards as the listeners. But atp who cares I guess

"

A week before release, we’re brought into a record label office basement to listen to Lana Del Rey's new album to review. There are drinks and snacks; the crunchy kind, to be chomped on during the masterpiece. We settle in, someone hits play and the tinny speakers deliver the album without much more fanfare or care than you would playing it for the millionth time through your cheap in-ear headphones. People go to the toilet missing entire tracks, twiddle thumbs, scribble notes. We listen once, and leave to give it a rating and comment on its merit. We’re the critics, and when Lana sings “I know you hate me” on the final track, it feels pointed. But it’s a wonder that she doesn’t hate us more."

 

:bibliahh: oh shes definitely trolling

"This is the most Lana Del Rey album that she has ever made"

 

They've said that about every single album she's released :bibliahh:

She survived getting 0's and 1's on Born to Die and Ultraviolence and went on to create the most expansive catalog of music in recent history. Who cares :rip:

that does seem like an...interesting...way to have reviews of your album written though :rip:

Not Gigwise saying all the other reviewers had one listen of the album (skipped some of the tracks too) and ended up at whatever score they gave her today :redface:

That's how Far Out Magazine described Candy Necklace:
"Suddenly we’re being sucker-punched by ‘Candy Necklace’, an infectious slice of road-ready glitch-pop"

Well, that was only because of her reputation at the time - it slayed year-end lists.

 

And this one is doing fine so far. It broke her streak of 60s from Guardian (BB, COCC, NFR all got them)

Imagine if it's a FIILY situation and it's different versions between streaming and physicals :deadbanana2: cause idk how you would describe CN as glitch pop, unless there's a facet to the genre I don't know about fff

Candy Necklace kind of reminds me of the 2013 leaks (Angels Forever, JFK, Black Beauty demo, Starry Eyed) in melody and production.

How is this how they describe Candy Necklace but no one else wrote about it yet during the album listen? :gaycat6:

 

It's so weird how all these reviews are coming out on a Sunday night, and the album isn't even out til Friday...this gives Pitchfork a chance to reign with their review on Friday.

Idk about piano keys or whatever but the piano in Candy Necklace is so sweet and smooth, like the one in most of BTD Paradise songs, I love it :heart2:

Ocean Blvd getting a lower score than Blue Banisters is just crazy.

 

Was NFR that powerful that critics were still kissing her ass when she released BB? And why did that power stop taking effect when they heard the beat change on A&W?

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

Iirc P4K does take avarage scores from all its member for an album score me thinks...
