Caesium 6,022 Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 Just now, Emigrante said: I remember meltdowns about how unprofessional those reviews were. I remember meltdowns about how people were mad Gaga wasn't receiving the sort of acclaim they expected from a stripped back era with all the over the top aspects of past eras gone. People were just annoyed at journalists because they weren't giving it 4/5 stars most of the time because they wanted a Metacritic score to brag about And that's the funny thing. If Joanne had received a higher score (75+) on Metacritic, that receipt would be thrown around daily whenever anyone tried to drag Joanne. But just because it was lower than everyone wanted all of a sudden Metacritic is "not an accurate way of recording reviews" and critics are "unprofessional!!11111" Put your white tennis shoes on and follow me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many critics talked more about Gaga herself than about Joanne, and a lot of them clearly hate Gaga and couldn't be bothered to look for one positive thing to say about the album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not Metacritic. Some of it's reviewers are known to be non-objective, biased, stans of certain artists, who's reviews are no more truthful than tabloid journalism.

DrewStevens 5,249 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Well tbh most critics had good reviews about the music itself. The mixed reviews usually critiqued her persona while reviewing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

E24187 614 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I mean but are any of her albums critically acclaimed according to Metacritic? If we're to go by that, this statement would've been false no matter what album the Facebook post used. Based on that, I'm not getting the point the OP is attempting to make. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
