I think it'll get at least a 80 metacritic score, the gp loves her again!

Critics need to love her again

Have you noticed that critics are being very nice nowadays to numerous artists. They don't do harsh reviews a lot! 

Like I said above, they judge the artists in relation to their previous record. They're exceptionally nice to Selena Gomez because she hasn't set the bar very high for herself. Rare is being praised as 'her best pop album' ever getting scores around 75 and 80 because the vocals are slightly better than her whispery vocals she did before.

Same about Dua Lipa and Cardi B, they're relatively new and their discographies weren't too developed so their yardstick was much more lenient than artists like Eminem, Gaga, Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake who had all been nominated for Album, Song, Record of the Year and garnered tons of hits. These artists could produce quality albums with great production and great vocals and still get a 60-ish score because of how high the expectations are for them.

Dont hate me, but I always felt like meta scores were more accurate than grammys 

Check out Adele's 25 and Selena Gomez's Revival (not Rare, Im talking about the one with Same Old Love)'s score.

I think SG got like 74 and Adele got like 76 or something. If the score is truly indicative of the quality of an album, do we really think SG and Adele have produced works of roughly the same quality?

I mean, how is Revival better than ARTPOP or Joanne or Born This Way? How is Future Nostalgia more ambitious than ARTPOP...

I’m predicting a 73 Metacritic score. That would look really good for a super established pop act.

I’m confused don’t publications get review copies a few days before hand so reviews can be up when the album is out? Sort of like video games? I thought we would have at least 1 big review by now 

[StarstruckIllusion 25,745]

Here to state now I don’t give a **** what the meta critic influencers think. A cute 70+ would be nice. Critics hate Gaga too much to allow an 80+ so I’m not picturing it at all

Ugh, you just reminded me that ARTPOP deserved better. I actually can't believe she doesn't have a higher metascore than 78

ASIB has an 88

I think they will unnecessarily will compare with Dua’s new album. Urgh!

Sis we are media darlings. This is our queen bee moment. 

Youll see the highest score trust me

[auburn 907]

Should we expect reviews to start coming today? I hope we get some before the album. 

[daisy 246]

I m not expecting more than 70..the critics hate her

Rain on me alone is better than the whole future nostalgia album.. I love due but her album is too overrated
