Mr S 7,641 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 4 minutes ago, tmo13 said: while I definitely agree it's a really great album, I feel like 90+ is too high... maybe 85-87, that sounds more reasonable to me. I'm sure as more reviews filter in, it'll drop a bit and level out somewhere more realistic. but 95? come on. ........also still slightly annoyed Chromatica got 79 when it deserves higher..... it was considered critical acclaim for a hot second before they added the pitchfork review. this is prob for another thread, but a lot of the reviews read like raves but factored out to be a lot lower numerically. which i don't understand. Chromatica definitely deserves an 80. But I still think Gaga hasn't reached that upper level that I think she can reach. Taylor just reached it. Beyonce reached it. Now I need Gaga to do it.

I didn’t even know she released it until a day later it’s by no means a ‘bad’ album it is nothing different or ‘special’ in the grand scale of ‘Taylor swift’ lol It was released today Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grammy's look at a lot more than that and I find they are tactfully selective on who wins what. Like they might award a mediocre album if the artist has had a great discography with no awards won previously. They might award the underdog. They might award the most popular or impactful album. They might award a mediocre album from a legendary artist who came back after a long hiatus. These are just some examples. The way I immediately thought of Melodrama, whew. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially Born this Way. The way BTW deserves way more than its Metacritic score (especially that dreadful 0, holy lord). In its fifth anniversary, there were quite a few retrospective reviews highlighting how it is an absolute beast of an album. I think time is showing how incredible it really is (well, to the people that didn't initially see as such). 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a masterpiece through and through. It is not, like ,"raw" like critics like, but it is an electro-pop-rock-disco perfection. It probably also is my favorite album by anyone ever.

Chromatography 9,607 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 after listening, i love this album. it’s not novel, though, just sounds like a typical indie-ish record. i can’t believe you guys don’t seem to listen to stuff like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
