Honestly, the last time I tracked MC was in 2018 with ASIB, and tracking it now seems like they removed more than half of publications from their list.

I think, they remove the publications which don't actively do reviews.

Calling Babylon a Madge rip off just confirmed everything. I saw this article earlier.

I'm guessing it's a pressed Madonna fan, especially since they say "Madge". Pay them no mind. 

Get the pinot ready, because it's turtle time.

yes, but they also seem to revaluate which publications 'are no longer relevant' in their opinion

“While the record often sounds like a cooler, clubbier take on early Gaga, the vulnerability in her new songs raises the stakes.”

As per tradition, there are some wild lyrical clunkers. But Gaga is campier than your average pop star, so these kind of come with the territory. Occasionally they linger in the “so bad they might be good?” zone, or just straight-up WTF. :legend:

“Strut it out, walk a mile/Serve it, ancient-city style” (“Babylon”)

“Who’s that girl, Malibu Gaga” (“Plastic Doll”)

“Turning up emotional faders” (“911”)

“Maestro, play me your symphony/I will listen to anything/Take me on a trip, DJ, free my mind” (“Alice”)

“Dragon’s eyes watch, goddess breathing” (“Enigma”)

"Dragon's eyes watch, goddess breathing" is my favorite lyric :bradley: Almost sounds like it could be spoken poetry.

I know it's too early too tell but do you think there's a high chance that Chromatica will get a higher ranking than BTW? I have a feeling it will end up around 75/100.
