I would expect the Metacritic score to come down as the week goes by. With Madame X, it happened the exact same thing. Started really high, and the came down to 70 because of a couple of 40s. What I hate with professional reviews is that even when praising they feel the need to make back-handed compliments. If it holds at 70, I would say it’s not a bad achievement, but think the album deserves more. What’s funny is that every negative review always has to include the word Madonna on it, or reference her can’t they get over it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me a pressed Little Monstrosity but I can't help but feel they're feeling attacked that Gaga delivered the album they had been craving from Madonna since COADF (which was 15 years ago and since then Madonna is failing to create interest in her music ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enomis 283 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Here, in Italy, a reviewer stated: "This album is a disappointment. It's a record which could have been sung by Madonna". Guys, I like Madge and her contribute to pop music and gay culture is undeniable. But I mean, she cannot sing almost all of these songs. So, Spain, I feel you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serial Chiller 8,044 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Music reviews, I’ve said it once and I’m saying it again, are completely utterly useless and a waste of everyone’s time. Games, books, movies - I understand the need for review. It takes a lot of time to go through one piece of such media. People need some valued opinions to make their decisions. It also costs, on average, way more than music, which has become widely accessible and virtually free to most people. Anyone can listen to a song for a few minutes or an album for an hour or so, and form their own opinion. Reviewers literally add no value/have no purpose other than creating a pretentious facade of acclaim or clout or whatever the f just so followers and fans can gloat about having exquisite music taste. Every time I read a game, movie, book review, while I may disagree with them, I mostly understand where they’re coming from. Because there are concrete aspects for criticism. Music reviews- ALWAYS sound like bias riddled vomit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalguru 583 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I hope Gaga comes with LG7 in a year or in less than 2 years -antithesis of Chromatica, less club dance, more funk slow dance, longer songs, even darker lyrics, experimental yet toned down.. .
