Mariah's Glove Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 ya the RS will be an 80 i think. I looked at some of the past reviews that were uploaded to MC and all that had the "must hear" tag were given an 80. the only 100 that was given was to a beatles re-issue that was tagged "instant classic"
Ice Cream Skies Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 That definitely reads like a 90 if not a 100, though. The Quietus' 100 should be counted, too, it has 'review' in the URL. So frustrating.
CottageHore Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 Watch this video be a 3-part combo with the two interludes to give us context as to why she chose to include those interludes at all and sandwiched Candy Necklace between them

Ice Cream Skies Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 Does Rolling Stone not do 4.5 anymore? There's literally zero critique in that review.

GentleDance Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 I'll give her that, the interludes on this album are so much better than The Trio
ImpassiveThomas Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 Released an hour early for me (in France) listening now!!
Prince Tommy Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 Quote Early in Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd, Lana Del Rey highlights a sermon from megachurch pastor-to-the-stars Judah Smith. In the most Del Rey fashion, it was clearly recorded on her phone during a service — you can hear her and a friend’s giggles bump up in the foreground, above Smith’s projecting voice and a piano instrumental that keeps it moving. Smith proselytizes about love and lust, reading from the Book of Psalms. His presence feels strikingly superfluous in the context of Del Rey’s quite heavy ninth album (especially when you think too hard on the ickiness of his former views on abortion and homosexuality). But the way he fits into her vision becomes clearer in his final two lines: “I used to think my preaching was mostly about You,” he says in a conspiratorial tone to what is likely a room of hundreds, if not thousands, of congregants, ”And you’re not gonna like this, but I’m gonna tell you the truth: I’ve discovered my preaching is mostly about me.” The core of Ocean Blvd is Del Rey trying to get a closer look at herself, flipping the story as we have come to understand (and maybe even misunderstand) about what she’s trying to tell us. Through stories of her family, a failed relationship, her conflicting desire of being both seen and hidden, Del Rey exposes more than just who she is, but why she is who she is. Finally, a good take other than "delete the interludes!" (See how they didn't note the Jon Batiste one? It can go, not this one!)
VeniceBeach Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 Zero 100's, zero streams, and zero interest from the GP
WildAmerican Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 kinda hope she taylors the featured vocalists on this album, i really couldn't care less about them

Prince Tommy Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 I love Candy Necklace but I would've given A&W the video if anything was going to get one...
