ViviLittleM 3 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Just saw this thread on ATRL speaking about Metacritic scores. http://atrl.net/?t=1010498 For Grammy #1 Grammy, we need to not care about the metacritic score. I mean... look at the critics, FULL of POP critics, with POP reviewers, when the album is jazz. They spoke more about Gaga herself than the album. Like, who the f*ck is Billboard to review a jazz album? No & no. All the JAZZ critics loved it, and they were pro. Can someone post this on ATRL in the thread? Because I won't let someone trashing Grammy #1 Grammy like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creyk 16,910 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Most reviewers review the person more than the actual product. This is why Beyonce got a high score for that subpar album Lemonade, because people are afraid to hate on her, because apparently if someone doesn't adore Beyonce he is racist and hates all black people. At the end of the day, acclaim is pointless. What matters is whether the music connects with the GP. Acclaim doesn't pay the bills. Chart success does.

Batwings 12,822 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Well, for me, the success of the album overwhelms anything some puffed up twat of a music critic might think. Besides, I'm pretty sure that because Gaga was just coming off the heels of the ARTPOP era that many critics couldn't wait to scrutinize the sh1t out of her regardless of what she did.

Swan Heart 7,382 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I will post what you said there. EDIT: Just did. They say it's the last song. They don't know us, you see. It's only the last song if we let it be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didymus 33,979 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Eh, that's not really accurate to me. Jazz critics weren't negative, but they weren't really praiseworthy either. Actually the jazz reviews were the ones that focused the most on Gaga and the least on the music Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. The Lemonade reviews definitely focused on the actual product. Besides, Beyoncé never got much critical acclaim until her last two albums so your reply is inaccurate anyway.

Didymus 33,979 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Also something I'd like to point out: if all these pop reviews were positive, as if anyone would make a thread like this about it. Don't give in to this kind of crap, the album was a collection of done to death standards that had nothing to do with each other, anyone who didn't see that Metacritic score coming was just deluding himself. We should be happy that Gaga got praise for her vocals because at the end of the day that's all that album had to offer for critics and that's the truth.

And I never bought that music not the bling BS, it's a silly concept You can make the most acclaimed masterpiece ever, if it goes unnoticed by the majority and only 5 people hear it, then what's the point?

She's gotten plenty of bad reviews pre-2013 and the Lemonade ones show themselves that the focus was on the music Oh well. Clearly you're interested more in delivering attitude than (correct) arguments, that's fine, good to know for the future Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 22,934 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Critics all sucks, Born This Way has a 0 by some "PROFESSIONAL" critic (Tiny Mix Tapes) on Metacritic. Here is their "professional" review of the album : "Beyond all else, perhaps, think of this zero as the massive bedazzled orifice out of which our heroine has spawned a new era of popular culture." None of them should influence your love of an album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That takes away the whole experience of art and music. I mean pop stars usually care about both. Some of the greatest go unheard but that doesn't mean they are useless.
