Mikeymoonshine Posted April 25 Posted April 25 Yeah like some of the low reviews are unfair but this is something a lot of pop girls have had to deal with for their entire career. Gaga has publications who will just always give her like a 50 no matter what, Gaga and Lana have both had 0 reviews included on MC. Unfortunately it's hard to stop score manipulation when many of these sites have no standards other than generating clicks. This album is still in the high seventies atm which isn't an unfair score for it. It doesn't deserve above 80 and neither did midnights, Taylor still has a lot of the industry on her side.

Slant magazine, which reviews PTSD with a 70 3

Taylor is not special in that regard. It is like how you guys think the negative reviews are somehow biased towards her and the positive ones are not.

SinnerCity Posted April 25 Posted April 25 Can't say that I'm surprised about these reviews. Hopefully Taylor can have a break from studio albums and just finish releasing the rerecordings.
Alexz Posted April 25 Posted April 25 Critical failure. A 70 in 2024 it's the equivalent of a 50 in 2004. 2
More Than A Melody Posted April 25 Posted April 25 They added a second PopMatters review, both have an 80. Let's see if Swifties complain about that one as much as they did with Sputnik. The score is down to 76 anyway 3

I mean she treats the re-recordings like new studio album releases so I'm not sure that will help with the fatigue. Edited April 25 by Mike91

It's not about the fatigue for me, it's about her truly finding the creative juicy I feel she's lacking since Folklore

Selfloathingpoet Posted April 25 Posted April 25 (edited) It amazes me how blinded the swifties are to pretend that this album is anywhere near as well written as Folklore, Evermore or Red, which cracks me up every time they say "it's an album for the fans". lyrically it is ridiculous and sonically it is flat. I like Taylor but this has to be one of her worst albums. Edited April 25 by Selfloathingpoet 13 1
