Yes, but they still loved it, and it was one of their highest ranked of that year. BTW is pretentious, but imo thats part of its charm as an album.

Guest Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 7 minutes ago, Serial Chiller said: Wasn’t this the same publication that awarded BTW for being “most pretentious”? I mean this is how they described the album in this list "Steeped in Eurotrash excess, Lady Gaga’s second album had all the subtlety of a bull rampaging through a silent yoga retreat. ‘Edge of Glory’ and ‘Born This Way’ are wonderfully silly, overblown and flamboyant. ‘Scheiße’ (which translates, quite literally, to ‘****’) gibbers on in nonsensical German above a jackhammer EDM beat. ‘Judas’ is a Biblical traitor fable shot to heady Eurovision heights. It’s cheesier than Cheddar Gorge and all the more brilliant for it." So maybe they still stand by that, just not in a negative way. BTW IS excessive, it is campy and out there but, like @Thomas P said that's part of its charm. Ironically enough, these publications themselves tend to be pretentious so take that as you will. The list is great tho, apart from a questionable choice or two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, no appreciation whatsoever for what was really a revelation back when it came out, imo. I mean maybe not that many people were influenced by it in the first place, but I think she was still greatly influential in 2013. Maybe it made a greater impact on some of us than on the rest. Who knows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
River 116,183 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 A pretentious list I must say. So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glamourpuss 29,062 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 That really is a pretentious list but I didn't expect anything else from them. Also, I know it's new but NFR deserved a much higher spot than #89. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
