Shadow 6,494 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 We can get over reviews like these. It wasn't that bad. Can't win over everyone. That's life on Earth.

Haldy 1,061 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Slant in the early-2010's were totally fair to Gaga, in my oppinion. But the tone within the reviews has really shifted. Reading the Chromatica review, you can tell there's vitorol to it, which makes it a deeply uncomfortable and bias read. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bad taste of Gaga reaching career milestones after 2013 was clearly too bitter to handle and it shows in the way he basically cried over his keyboard while coming up with his review.

Later we will look like clowns To be fair, those reviews are still littered with passive aggressiveness and digs. There is still a bias that shows throughuot each review, even if he gave an 80 to Born This Way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr S 8,430 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Also, I thought Metacritic adjusts the scores based on weight. Which is something can have all 70s, but still average out to 75. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
honk 526 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Ofc reviews are subjective but to say "Gaga’s approach to pop music has always been less than innovative" teeters on the edge of wanting to pass something off as objective. "Less than innovative" according to ??? A Madonna stan who will stop at nothing to piss on the only real contender to her "throne"? Please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naufri 7,203 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I don’t think slant have anything in particular against Gaga, but if you look their reviews for highly anticipated products they tend to be pretty harsh looking for clickbait. This is extremely obvious in their video game reviews. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOT 2,766 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 They've slated 6 tracks out of 16 and given it 8/10 overall ? Not a hanging offence. Reviews seen to be good generally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
