conquxror Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 When GQ took over Pitchfork everyone thought they would become nicer, but ever since I feel like they got meaner for some reason I honestly don't love the album like some of you guys, but I think it deserves at least a 7. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aribiotch. Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I'm not a big fan of the album. It's a good album , It has its highs but fell flat for me in some areas. I would have given it a 7 at least though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khal Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Should have added a 0.2 to give it a round 7, but this is the closest sensible review of the album I've seen so far. The 8s, 9s and perfect scores are ridiculous for something with like2 highlights. 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critics are becoming more and more hysterical as the years go by. That one who compared this album with Joni's Blue ????? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peroxide Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I'll be honest… yeah, I'm not getting the hype either so this score feels deserved. I really, really enjoyed Happier Than Ever so this LP feels like a downgrade. There's some really fantastic moments, particularly in regards to the production switch-ups but there's not a single song here which trumps Billie's best offerings on her last two projects. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop Fan Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Thank you Pitchfork. This praise was getting out of hand. It's a solid album but it's not nearly as good as NFR, Melodrama or folklore. It's a crime to compare HMHAS to those actual masterpieces. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop Fan Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I love the fact that thee Pitchfork thinks that Midnights is a better album than HMHAS (rightfully so cuz it is). 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This album is the definition of STYLE over SUBSTANCE. Sonically it's impressive but that's it. There isn't anything special or profound on it especially lyrically and thematically. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator Bloo Posted May 21 ATRL Moderator Share Posted May 21 I agree with the rating tbh. I love Billie, but this album is melodically and lyrically very drab in comparison to her past works. However, in terms of production, it’s easily her best. 4 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
