poll Are reviews important?

[AmericanIdol]

Are reviews important? I don't think they are, art is subjective and it involves a personal expedition interacting with the music/art form.

 

I give Katy's album new album, 143, a 10/10 though.

[A Million Lights]

Not really. The gp is here for Katy and that's what matters

[Strawberry Bubble]

Yes, if the reviews favor my favorite artist.

No, if the reviews don't favor my favorite artist.

NURSE! 

 

[shyboi]

they are not important and we all know it

[KatyPrismSpirit]

I don't think critic reviews are of much importance because they don't necessarily reflect to the success of the music, generally speaking. Just look at Morgan Wallen. His album got a 45/100 on Metacritic and the album he dropped last year is already on its way to go Diamond and spend 19 weeks at #1. 

 

Albums that get a lot of acclaim (which is nice obviously) from big publications don't necessarily get success out of it, nor does it translate into critical success at for example award seasons.

and even now that stuff barely works. the last time a "pitchfork artist" broke out was probably in the early 10s. people don't read articles anymore, they discover artists on tiktok.

[burninredhot]

When it's an album I dislike = yes

When it's an album I love = no 

[MonsterTown]

YES, NEXT

[Uncatena]

yes, art critique is essential. if you cannot deal with art you like not being liked by others, you need to reflect on why you like the thing in the first place.

[bielneira]

It is a thermometer, but it's just someone's opinion like we all have ours.

Where is the GP that is here for her?

 

WW bombed

LIFETIMES bombed

I'm His, He's Mine bombed

143 is being review bombed as we speak 

 

Which GP sis?????

[Summerboy95]

Not really.

 

But when your fave releases music associated with a rapist because she wants to relive her peak, watching her failing to do so is such a euphoric experience, like being under the spell of a drug that captivates your senses. Reviews are important to this case because they work like ammunition to prove how over and sad were Katy's career choices. 

 

 

[makeme]

Yes of course. Think of it in the context of reviews in general. When are you looking for a new restaurant on google you are likely to check the reviews. Bad reviews may keep you from visiting certain establishments. 

 

This goes across the board. A music critic gives an album a bad review it creates bad press/PR for the album. This can snow ball into more bad reviews. 

 

Spoiler

Sorry I work in marketing and respond to reviews all day

Quality is not about commercial success, and commercial success does not reflect quality in any degree.
