Based on this we should be expecting a high score from P4K

Yeah people here saying they'll be hard on her when their takeaways starts saying the album is frequently a blast lol 

 

Probably another BNM in the bag for her, and a deserved one

This reads like a 90-100 on Metacritic. We'll see.

Variety, Independent + the independent all count for MC right ?

And they haven't added Variety's score yet. Should go up a bit

It will probably around 95 in the end

I don't see any other review going below 80 now

This doesn't mean much, they released articles like this for Doja's Scarlet and Ariana's ES but they gave them a 5.9 and a 7.2, respectively

 

Not saying CC will get the same tho, it just looks like the staff who writes these articles is different from the one that gives scores, I think it'll get a 8.3 or something like that :clap3:

Omg I knew it. 90s score is where it belongs. :WAP:

I predit a 8.8 from pitchfork 

Posted

if she's getting BNM from Pitchfork at all, it will be 8.3-8.4 range I think - but there's still no best new track for her today (she got one for Virgo's Groove the day the album was released with the review being published on Monday), so I'm assuming they might go lower (even below 8.0)

I personally don't see them giving less than 8 for this record, because it's an experiment that actually ranks among her best work, with a great narrative behind it, and other critics have embraced it. I don't see it overtaking Rena's score, since it was their AOTY, possibly their current AOTD after Fiona, and it would mean Beyoncé topped that. Not even Frank Ocean did that from Channel Orange => Blonde. I see it getting the When I Get Home/Lemonade treatment: between 8.4-8.7 after following a career peak. 

 

If they were not to hand a BNM, and found some songs in the middle to the end portion to be a let down, like other critics did, it'd receive between a 8 and 8.2, their favorite grades for albums that will still rank highly in their EOYs, but they are not hyped as much as they could've.

 

I personally don't see them handing it a 7, unless they felt like an underwhelmed release coming from Renassaince. That'd happen only if Cowboy Carter were to be filled with Texas Hold 'Ems, which is not the case at all. Their 7s after a 9 are usually out of kindness to not outright pan someone they were hyping a couple of years before

She keeps topping herself. Anyone giving it less than a 9 is smoking crack on a regular. This needs to get her best score from p4k.

can they be like at least not be blunt with the payola :rip:
