What does this woman have to do to get above an 80 with these people? I really don’t get it. She’s literally tried EVERYTHING. 😬😬🙄🙄 lol A 5/5 soundtrack is like The Lord of the Rings and ****. You're crazy if you think she deserves a perfect score from everyone. 8/10 is fantastic and justified as a maximum for this record. Nothing on the album is wildly original or groundbreaking, but it's all very well put together and very well performed. That's an 8. Just adapt your expectation to the product Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenG 19,908 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Sonically, it is less cohesive than Joanne, which is why I think they added the dialogues. To give context Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just adapt your expectation to the product I expect better than sweetener because Sweetener is not a great album. Also, I never said it deserved a perfect score. Just better than 80.

HugoJG 1,108 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Does anyone else think that Bradley sounds like a young Tony Bennett in IDKWLI ? I love that song Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitleysingur 13,789 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 It’s “Shallow,” the leadoff single and most boffo track on the soundtrack album. Though Cooper starts the song, Lady Gaga takes over for its exponential buildup, from throaty and breathy to full-scale belting. It’s another in her catalog of spiraling power ballads, and it’s the immediate sequel to “Million Reasons” from her theatrically naturalistic “Joanne.” The album’s other showstoppers are hushed-to-heroic piano ballads: the Elton John-flavored “Always Remember Us This Way”; the electronics-assisted hymn “Before I Cry”; and “I’ll Never Love Again,” which harks back to 1970s hits like Harry Nilsson’s “Without You” and Eric Carmen’s “All By Myself.” They rely on Lady Gaga’s old-school finesse, timing, emotionality and lung power. It reads like 70+ for me. Dreams of you and me are in the dirt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny Winter 293 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I actually did a video review! Usually, when I do reviews, I share my top 5 favorite songs typically and explain why they are the strongest selections. I'm sure not everybody will agree with me, but I love some good conversation.

This is good. Pitchfork usually gives mediocre reviews. A 7.4 is like an A- for them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's your very personal opinion, isn't it You can't demand critics to take your opinion seriously if you don't take theirs seriously either.

River 117,056 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 It’s just feels like the critics didn’t watch the movie and judged the songs without knowing the context, especially on the pop songs, they missed the point there.. So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
