On comparison, it's currently the same metascore with ARTPOP but different user score as ARTPOP has a 7.4. :stalkga:

Too much for the art police.

They deserve a 37 :poot:

Edit: I love the Slant Magazine shade:

"But listening to Red Pill Blues makes one yearn for an era when there at least seemed to be more room for genuinely ambitious, artful Top 40 pop. In other words, I'll take the blue pill."

They used to be good but now they are the definition of generic. Their songs since their previous album are not even catchy just annoying beats with rappers to fill in the bridges.

I'm not sure about this but I think they admitted that they didn't care about the art and meaning that goes into making music, they only care about making hit songs that top the charts in an interview a few years back. So it really isn't surprising that their album's rated so badly.

It's true! It happened once when he was shading Gaga's ARTPOP

Pretty generous of a score imo even from a stan. They said before this era that they were going for a sound that would make it more difficult to chart but it just seems like they lowered the quality in comparison to their other albums which I guess will make it harder to chart still. Mess at some of you guys still being stuck on that art police comment and likely talking about the score without hearing the album at all.

cool

That album is trash. I tried to give it a chance but there is no possible way to do it :selena:
