Chromatican 4,046 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I'm extremely disappointed with these reviews. I really thought the critical tide had turned on her after ARTPOP and Joanne era, but it seems that maybe this project was a bit misguided. Hopefully it can nab a #1 debut spot since it seems critical acclaim is not coming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s likely going to do 65-70 on MC imo. Twitter: @ConnorBehrens/Instagram: @ConnorBehrens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichAssPiss 4,190 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 A side project album of standards, much like a remix album, will be largely perceived as a minor work that ultimately is not essential or especially unique. The fact that Dawn of Chromatica and Love for Sale are treated as solid but not remarkable by most is pretty much as good as it gets, I think. Anything that's not an outright pan is probably as high a ceiling as you can expect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biagio2103 4,858 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Traditional pop albums don't normally get rave reviews or high scores, actually. American Standard by James Taylor got 60/100 on Metacritic, and it won the Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album this year. Cheek to Cheek won with a 64/100 (barely three points higher than ARTPOP). Her biggest competition that year was Barbra Streisand's Partners, which got a 55/100. Paul McCartney won in 2013 with Kisses on the Bottom, which had a 62/100.  I'm only good at being bad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOT 2,215 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 This is Tony's final album, and I'm sure it will be successful for that reason alone. The man was 92 when he recorded it, so it was never going to be his best work. It's not really one for the critics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadBoi808 1,120 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I’d be more excited for this era if she actually gave Chromatica an era, but I’m not. I can’t bring myself to care about a jazz album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean what are they basing it on?? @Biagio2103pointed out that traditional pop/jazz albums, especially covers, rarely do that well via Metacritic. I agree it's weird, but it is what it is. Financial Times 5/5, even if it doesn't count for Metacritic, will probably help though because their readership is kind of Tony's type of audience. Anyway, I'm guessing it will end up around 70-ish.
