androiduser 7,113 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 it's just a phrase, but it's not 100% accurate... still, not too far from the truth, because it did get good reviews... even though "critics are jealous and have no taste" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanWinchester 41,390 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 2 hours ago, JoeJane said: Y'all focus so much on Metacritic and forget to make a better analysis of the whole cenario. Metacritic happens to be an aggregate of many reviews. This takes into account consensus, while your suggestion of looking only at a select few critics that gave favorable reviews is actually ironically the opposite of "a better analysis of the whole scenario" aside from Metacritic, the only other measurable form of acclaim are accolades and awards, which Joanne doesn't have yet and OT: while yes the results are favorable, don't be delusional. An acclaimed album would be on the tier of Lemonade in terms of its score and consistent inclusion in year-end lists and the term is "critically acclaimed" so using "critics don't affect my reception of the music" is not valid AT ALL for this specific discussion Flyin' like a 1000 Doves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockPop 7,747 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Metacritic holds no water. Sure, if it counted a selection of publications, that would be less ridiculous, but as it stands they flip flop on who they count and how much power they have. It's worse than the electoral system of the USA. It is a website without merit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you critic a thread if you yourself were not a thread? It's a shame Joanne isn't one of them and you are the one to define that, right? Sugar, spice, and everything nice.

Not sure what review you're talking about, but I mean that's probably one review out of almost 30 that were included in the Metacritic rating, it definitely wouldn't drag the entire album down Put your white tennis shoes on and follow me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall seeing anything along those lines written in any of the reviews. Most said it was an unexpected and bold direction, but complimented her decision to do that, and then some thought it was a little try hard and the songs lacked something Put your white tennis shoes on and follow me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
