How many reviews does it usually take for a score to settle? 

30-35? But since this is the most anticipated album of the year, probably more.

Regardless of people equating GP appeal with critical appeal, she never released an album that received universal praise (a score above 80), so this is surprising - one one hand. On the other hand, while is true that in the past, incredibily high scores like these were only given to artists like Bjork, nowadays critics are more open to records from pop artists (see Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift etc).

True, critics are much more lenient now. Chromatica is literally Gaga’s most acclaimed album.

Right? I knew it all along. :poot: Sadly, I remember that it debuted with 80+ but it the score fell as they added new reviews.

Definitely not. Most albums get between 10 to 20 reviews at best, and if it's a hot release it will get around 27-34. 25 had 35 reviews, 21 had 34 as well. It's unlikely it will go beyond as there is a limited number of publications that get to publish reviews on metacritic.

Ok, I like Adele and I think she’s great but critics act as if she created music :ladyhaha: and no, you don’t have to make music that is unique and boundary pushing but her music is just elevator music half the time.

I’m not hating on Adele’s album cause how could I? I haven’t heard it. But it seems like everyone is getting such high scores lately, yet I feel like in retrospect nothing has deserved the score. Except Future Nostalgia actually
