Lose My Breath Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 I’m in love with this album. The 1-2-3 punch with Paris, Grandfather, and Light is amazing
CottageHore Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 That is the longest album review I’ve ever read and sounds like it was written by a stan disguised as an amateur music reviewer lmao. But slay, we’ll take the 10/10. There’s no way this counts for MC though, right?
Gladiator Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 I listened to the leak. This album is magnificent. I don't know if it can compete with the nostalgia Ultraviolence gives me for a particular time in my life to say that it overtakes it as my favorite album, but it is definitely top 2.
Bartender Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 Wait... why is Far Out Magazine describing Candy Necklace as glitch pop and a floor-filler

truthteller Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 I wonder if the reviewers listened to the Rosemead baby exclusive version and called it a day
Gladiator Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) I don't understand the choice for the total of 8 minutes of interlude preaching / jarring piano back to back, though... Edited March 20, 2023 by Gladiator

The decision is editorial but not that mathematically detailed. Shaad writing for the Guardian and giving it an 8 means absolutely nothing because the writers don't get to choose the grade. And if he's already written about it for other publication, I would say that his opinion would less of a point to p4k, which trying to say its own thing. And I can't say I'll exactly miss Moreland anyway

And I can't say I'll exactly miss Moreland anyway Yes. It’s not an average. The critic writing the review gives a score and then the editor is free to adjust how they see fit. That’s why you sometimes see scores that don’t match the review - especially before poptimism they’d score pop girls albums lower despite a glowing review.
ATRL Moderator Verge of Obscene Posted March 20, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted March 20, 2023 the reviews aren’t supposed to be good
RuflesCando Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 The better review of today's bunch is by miles the guardian's and even that one has some really clunky moments. The NME seems disinterested to engage with the record in any meaningful capacity while the Line (besides being read like it was written by an stifled undergrad) reviwer simply didn't like the last three tracks whatsoever and thought the album was running too long. The RS one is nice. A funny stat is the consistent praise of Margaret and the back to back baffling statements that Taco Truck is better than Venice ***** (NME) and that Taco Truck is horrible and dishonourable of Venice ***** (Line).

NOW Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) Wow, she only has 2M followers but the ratio of engagement she gets on each of her posts is so high. Anyway, it's a pipe dream but would be cool if she did an MTV Unplugged special for this album Edited March 20, 2023 by NOW
Chemist Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 ‘Margaret’ - a late album highlight that nods to Springsteen, Sufjan and even Dolly Parton throughout its run time DIY SPILLED
May Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 candy necklace was my most hyped but it’s ended up being one of my least favourites, i was expecting the ‘rockerfeller’ part to be the verses or the pre-chorus . that part is the only good part of the song and seems so short
Chemist Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 This was never going to be as acclaimed as NFR. The interludes drag it down massively.
