an outrage! Deserved higher imo!

not club future nostalgia getting rated higher

Lower than Solar Power 

all the unreleased tracks are duds except the first and the last track.

Radical Floptimism

this is her best album and this score is still too high

Insane Pessimism 

A generous score, this album is atrocious

we need to nuke to pitchfork basement

We do not need people who can't even make music critiquing it. Yall shouldn't need someone to tell you what's good and what's not. It works both ways, for the haters and the glazers 

Conformist Pessimism

It's a typical Dua Lipa album… nice, safe middle of the road pop music. Gays hyped up Future Nostalgia too much because it was COVID and we were needing an escape. If you listen back, it's not a super strong album. This is more of the same.

Avi to post ratio....

 

 

(P.S. I'm also a fan.)

Poor Dua.. Seems like FN era was a fluke

Radical Optimism is - by no stretch of the imagination - better than FN, but the unnecessary hate on ATRL is so weird 

 

Ya'll complain about pop girls not serving proper eras in today's market, yet find a reason to run into threads to bash the only girl giving us (or at least trying to) just that  We should all be rooting for Dua

Better than TTPD it seems 

Oh, that isn't...

 

Poptimism is truly over, huh?

to be fair, that's a fair score

Honestly, she should've polished and released Talk About It as a lead in March, and kept Houdini as a cute buzz single. Talk About It alone would've brought the album to a 7.5 and would've been her next New Rules type of smash

They're going to come for you but somebody had to say it.

I feel sorry for people who need their taste in music to be validated by a bunch of losers that are called music critics. Who gives a f if bitchfork or others give this a low score? If you enjoy the music, that's all that matters. 

Same as Taylor  

the album sucks 

Familia - 7.3
