TomTom Posted May 17, 2023 Posted May 17, 2023 Doesn’t count for Metacritic, but 8/10 from The Herald. https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/23528856.review-lewis-capaldis-new-album-powerful-vocally-beautiful/
Taylor fanboy Posted May 17, 2023 Posted May 17, 2023 She’s 3/3 with the songs, album cover is a 10/10. She’s getting OUT of her contract with an immaculate kiss-off album huh? 2

TomTom Posted May 17, 2023 Posted May 17, 2023 Forgot to mention two things in my review: 1) ETA & FL sound way better in the context of the album than as standalone tracks. 2) The short length does not affect the album at all, it does not feel shorter than her previous albums.
Freakshowvato Posted May 17, 2023 Posted May 17, 2023 This is gonna be better than last album by miles, I love how experimental and honest she's being 1

Slant's scores: Animal: 1.5/5 Cannibal: 3.5/5 Warrior: 3/5 Rainbow: 3.5/5 High Road: 3.5/5 SPIN's scores: Cannibal: 5/10 Warrior: 7/10 They didn't give Rainbow a score but it looks like a very positive review.

Is it true the album is gapless?

Alaska. Posted May 17, 2023 Posted May 17, 2023 From what I'm seeing Pitchfork and The Arts Desk (idk if they count for MC) seem to be the harshest critics. Popmatters gave HR a 30, but Rainbow an 80 CoS gave HR a 50, but Rainbow a 75 The Guardian gave HR a 60 and Warrior a 40, but Rainbow an 80 NME gave HR a 60, but Rainbow an 80
Alaska. Posted May 17, 2023 Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) Wait, not Pitchfork giving Animal a 7.3 EDIT: Ok it was a 2021 review. I was shocked to imagine Pitchfork being this positive to her in 2010 Edited May 17, 2023 by Alaska.

I thought I heard it was in this thread but maybe I misread Oh, okay. I haven't explicitly paid attention to that, but this sounds about right based on my experience. There aren't really any long periods of silence in the intros and outros as far as I recall. 1

The album sounds like it’s a slower than in the past. Does the album feel like it drags at all or?

The slowness of some songs is compensated by the shorter length overall, interludes and quick transitions between songs. 1
