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
Mariah's Glove Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 " 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." oh shes definitely trolling
GentleDance Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 "This is the most Lana Del Rey album that she has ever made" They've said that about every single album she's released
bluevelvetcrowbar Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 Her label/team making the critics sit in a basement to review it LMAOOOO you know she was getting her life fnfmdkdk
Ice Cream Skies Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 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. Not Gigwise exposing the critics. Uh ohhhhh.

VeniceBeach Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 What prefix should I put on a Metacritic thread, help

Mariah's Glove Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 that does seem like an...interesting...way to have reviews of your album written though
NOW Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 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

BloodLuster Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 NFR! has two 60 and COCC 60-58-30. let's hope she can make it
VeniceBeach Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 The Guardian gave her 80/100, that's a win actually
VeniceBeach Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 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" Tf
suburbannature Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 40 minutes ago, Azealia Banks said: PLUS isnt UV one of your favorite from her and it received mixed reviews sooo 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)

suburbannature Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 Candy Necklace kind of reminds me of the 2013 leaks (Angels Forever, JFK, Black Beauty demo, Starry Eyed) in melody and production.

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. Edited March 20, 2023 by NOW
Bimbo Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 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

brooklyndaddy Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 I actually love CN after expecting be meh on it, probs top 3 on the album for me. I hope it doesnt get altered.

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? 2 hours ago, conquxror said: 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...
