Change the thread title to "No positive reviews so far"

 

"Not mixed or positive reviews" so far is even more accurate. 

[Matchatea]

Do we think there even WILL be a positive review…. 
 

positive being 3 stars at least 

[MonsterTown]

albumoftheyear page updated and accepted the official review too, a panned bomb.

[Catch22]

#543 best album of the year so far (of 543 albums) according to AOTY

There won't be any positive review anyway. But the album is really fun

Variety is the most generous critic out there especially when it comes to criticizing pop girls and you know it's phucking ovah when they drag 143

WAOTY (Worst Album of the Year) 

[GAGAxMONSTER]

Gorgeous, I'm His He's Mine and Wonder would make a decent EP worthy of a 5.9/10.

I want to stay away from the negativity and that's the only good thing I can say about this album.

The five remaining Kats believing that Katy is some musical genius who is ahead of her time… 

 

[Hex]

I feel kind of bad for her but then I remember she worked with an alleged r*pist and is a Musk fan 

[Bartender]

Katycats comparing Katy to the likes of Mozart and Van Gogh cuz she's a thing of the past 

[Bends]

Damn. I need to create at least visually appealing OP page to captivate this MESS.

I agree with all of them, but the number is too harsh. The album it's a solid 60 for me

she might not top the hot 100 nor bubbling under 100 chart but she's at least topping the worst album of the year chart for once

AP: Music Review: Katy Perry returns with the uninspired and forgettable '143'

 

Quote

Katy Perry's new album title, "143," is code for "I love you," based on the number of letters in each word of the phrase. She may love us, but the album is more like 144 — "I made mush."

 

Perry's first LP since 2020's lackluster "Smile" is just as lackluster, an 11-track blur of thick electronic programming and simplistic lyrics. There's none of her past cheeky humor, virtually no personality. Even the title is filler.
