Seriously, this is SO ridiculous and unprofessional.

TRASH. 

Apparently the guy that did the review is a Madonna fan. Surprise, huh?

Why do we still care about stuff like this? People can literally write a ****ty review just because its gaga. how does that number affect it anyway?

Irrelevant site cant possibly accurately represent the opinions of anything because they have no basis on which to accept/ignore reviews. It's just a completely random number.

Agreed :yes:    Metacritic is a joke, not only their selection of reviews seems completely arbitrary but they also put each one these reviews on the same foot, which not reflect the real value, quality and impact of an individual reviews. Let's consider a review in the Wall Street Journal by an jazz expert, obviously this review has more qualitative value than a review by a random guy in a random publication because a) the jazz expert is educated in jazz matters and with that knowledge can much better evaluate the quality of a jazz album, and b) the WSJ  is a national, if not international, publication with a big readership and high reputation with the public, hence the review of the WSJ has way more impact with the public than the mediocre review by the random guy with the random publication. But Metacritic does not reflect this because it gives the same value to these two very different qualitative reviews, which is obviously inaccurate of what is happening in real life. 

 

So we can all dismiss this mediocre site while we are waiting the confirmation of the 3rd no 1 album for Gaga.

It's not so much the score that bothers me in that LA Times review (although 25 percent is laughably bad for such a great album), it's that the review doesn't even MENTION tony. The review literally spends the whole time on gaga, what expectations they have of her, and how much of a "flop" she is, and not ONCE do they mention Tony's voice or his contribution at all. It's extremely biased and one sided. Really lame.

They DID mention Tony, more than once, they said he was right on point with his delivery, but that was only when Gaga gave im the chance to sing. I agree with that point tbh, the album does seem a lot more Gaga than Tony; Tony knew when to be tame while Gaga belts out and riffs the crap out of most of the songs, which is not always appropriate. It almost comes off as if she's trying too hard and Tony is not trying at all. Still a good album though.
