A Metascore in the 60s is about as bad as it gets nowadays, they should have moved the cutoff for "generally favourable" up to 70 at some point. It's not a very useful system if the worst reviewed albums of the year are grouped with 80/100s. Showgirl is the best album here tho

I agree with the statement regarding MC. I'd say Petal is the best one, followed by Romantic and Showgirl. Everything else is just devoid of any quality.

    this thread really proves y'all's MPGs are putting out the worst music of their careers while all the real quality is happening in the alt and underground scene

Technically, the only panned album out of the list is 143.

Best albums are Ariana's and Selena's.

Probably Bruno's. It's not bad, just uninspired and formulaic.

i really liked selena's album.

Arirang bc I see tasteless people pan it all time but I personally think it's their best.

From the poll petal but like how is it being panned? The album is great weeps

Petal isn't anywhere near panned but that's the best one from the list

Oh c'mon now. It was panned, especially in the context of world domination that Taylor released it in. AOTY has a separate category for user and album scores btw.

Again, not a single review eligible for Metacritic is even characterized as negative. Panned on Twitter, maybe. Critically panned, no.

Even if you raised the panned threshold to below 60 AND removed Rolling Stone, Showgirl STILL wouldn't quality. "Context of world domination" is irrelevant. rip And she had a hate train during the Showgirl release. People called her a eugenicist for saying she wanted kids who looked like her husband, racist for "onyx night," and a Nazi for putting lightning bolts on a necklace. Online sentiment had already turned against her with TTPD. Anyway, none of that matters. It's still not a panned album critically, no matter how badly you want it to be! Words mean things!

love my girl Ari but Petal is one of her weakest efforts so none of these albums are good imo
