I am expecting in 90s , album is cohesive

Not as great as GUTS but critics will like it

BNM from P4K 8.3

Pitchfork

Olivia Rodrigo: you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love

Read Molly Mary O'Brien's review of the album.

It's better than GUTS (which was my favorite album in that year) imo, so it better get a higher score. 92-93 is my prediction.

90/100 by Rolling Stone

86-90 range, me thinks.

It's better than GUTS and that has a 91.

They gave GUTS an 8.0.

Hurricane Olivia is starting.

All the acclaim will be deserved

OMG SHE GOT THE BNM FROM PITCHFORK

Pitchfork

Olivia Rodrigo: you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love

Read Molly Mary O'Brien's review of the album.

This is what Rodrigo does best: lures you in, overrides your doubts, then sends you on your way, grateful for the opportunity to get totally emotionally consumed. She keeps finding herself at the mercy of forces greater than her will—jealousy, insecurity, lust, anger—but when it comes to making music about it, she's always in control.

Highest reviewed project and her first BNM

THAT PITCHFORK SCORE IS A GAG

I WASN'T EXPECTING IT TODAY. LET ALONE A BEST NEW MUSIC

Are they deadass? They gave "that" album a 100/100 rating, but can't give this one a perfect score.

YASSSSSSS

It's what she deserves

they're so shameless

She's collecting best new music accolades on P*tchfork like it's nothing. Makes it look too easy.

oh WOOOOW

I mean... LISTEN TO THE MATERIAL

Edited June 12Jun 12 by NEUTRON

all music, rolling stone, slant and pitchfork are the most heavyweight scores to metacritic so this is a fantastic start

She's taking Pop Vocal Album

it actually deserves 90+ this time.
