Pitchfork: Bouquet 5.5

[B-Luke]

Quote

But Bouquet plays out a scenario where happiness—or the projection of it—saps one's creative vitality, leaving the artist with very little to say. Every relationship has its challenges, and one would hope that those details could make for stories worth sharing. Instead, Stefani wants us to believe that she's found the simple kind of life that she sang so longingly about. Bouquet is as odd as boring gets—an album inspired by her real life that nonetheless comes off as lifeless.

Is the writer's love life currently as boring as they say this album is?

The review reads a lot worse than the score tbh 

[rmmas]

Lamb only got 5.1 so I consider this a win 

[xokuba]

Yeah, LAMB got 5.1 so I am not taking this seriously

Deserves better

I love Gwen but Bouquet is boring tbh.

This will only help this album crack the top 90. #ThankYouPitchfork

I get where they're coming from (although personally I quite enjoy Bouquet), but that review just sounds unnecessarily bitter.

So because the writers love life is bad that means everyone's has to be?
