But it takes away the authenticity of both. 

It looks amazing, nevertheless.

I would give KICK ii a higher score, but other than that, a Pitchfork "7" is an "8" for everyone else lol, so well reviewed imo.

I would definitely give them all higher scores and give the last two the highest ones. But good scores nevertheless.

I think it's kinda unfair to say that to visual artists. 

Musicians e.g: Gaga pop stuffs, Billie, Arca always have their distinct sound, and people applause them for that. The same goes with directors, producers, painters. So it's kinda hurtful to say the artist works as less authentic because it has their same style.

That is the problem with visuals, they get washed away pretty fast. Same as Gaga visuals when she first came onto the scene. 
 

Also, I didn't want to say that artist which made this is less authentic but the artists that are put into the visual like that. The fact that we already seen Gaga do the similar visuals and shoot takes away the "wow factor" from Arca's photoshoot. At least it does for me. 

 

But overall I love this aesthetic. Artist that creates this POV is amazingly talented and I can't wait to see what else they have in store for us.

I didn't know that. 

But still, if I didn't see Gaga's one I would go completely fangirl over this photoshoot. 

 

 

And stop coming for me like I shaded the artist.

Any reason it’s not kick ii iii iv v? 

Nevermind I see they have a penchant for nonsense titles.
