Rolling Stones really gave it 50/100? That's surprising. 

THE ACCLAIM

[aesthetic bih]

Your flop era is lowkey disastrous

[Summerboy95]

She is being sent to hell

So rough, so weak

 

 

She's a loser, flopmion,

Subhuman, number O

She's a rapist, she's an accomplice

 

[BrattyBottom]

Variety also reads like a 40

Not sure if this counts for anything but Variety just released a negative review

 

https://variety.com/2024/music/album-reviews/katy-perry-143-album-review-1236151356/

"Effectively, "143" strips away the remnants of the perky personality that catapulted Perry into early 2010s superstardom. The album is flat, coasting on cascades of lyrical cliches and musical ideas that rarely crest. Across many of its 11 songs, Perry sounds disaffected and removed, as if she'd just punched in between "American Idol" tapings. Little of the clever wit that emboldened some of her biggest hits peeks out on the album, a disappointing slide away from the savvy she once so effortlessly exuded."

I hate how I went in wanting to hate the entire album, but there are some gems. It's just tainted with Dr Luke grimly hands

"Yeah I got those palpitations, those boom boom booms / I'm on a new vibration / Yeah I need some medication / Your ooh, ooh, ooh," she sings on the mechanical "Crush," which plays like a Vengaboys B-side.

Variety panning is def the worst panning this album can get  they've been somewhat pro-luke and almost always give fairly decent to acclaimed reviews

Vengaboys this was supposed to be a drag but they served taste I'm afraid

When 143 gets more points than TTPD from Pitchfork then what

 

[Raspberries]

You know this thing is a huge turd if even Variety is giving it a bad review

[sweetkiss]

i heard the album, good thing is short, but i think this is her worst album, and i like cheesy and basic pop, this album makes ava max sound like bjork im not even kiddin,

this is her worst vocal producing as well, she sounds horrible and she finally had nice pleasant song harleys in hawaii before. and apparently its not just my opinion,

streams for that song reveal everyone agrees she can sound nice but she went so backwards people wouldnt believe, its like she gave up,

i mean album is listenable, but its competing for paris hilton crown of cringe released this year and id say paris one is even better so you can imagine.

 and also lol at once when we are older and shes like 50 

crush to me is the best, kudos to 21 savage who got paid for his worse verse yet

These reviewers rarely review the music. They review the narratives around an artist. Hence why that AWFUL ice spice album got a 8/10 lolz. Pitchfork especially, what an embarrassment of a music publication.

Sorry, KatyPrismSpirit, but the reviews of 1(,)43 that I have read had very specific and very bad comments on the very music

[CameraFlashes]

i do agree she needs to retireshe has almost 0 inspiration for writing music and that's why 143 sounds like she's singing to a wall
