pachinko 10,121 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I haven’t listened to it and believe it deserves a 1 for overhype. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronk 14,510 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 If ARTPOP got a 7.3, then 7 is fair for Midnights, imo. I live outside the space time continuum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've literally consistently given TSwift's past few records solid to very good numbers (1989 was a 7.7, folklore an 8, evermore a 7.7, and the re-release of Red even got BNM). I doubt they have any kind of bias against her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they have any kind of bias against her. my point was more about their approach to reviewing all big pop albums (including gaga’s). they recently put out a thing trashing teenage dream, one of the most iconic capital p Pop albums of all time. if you think mainstream pop music is already a lesser art form, then don’t bother reviewing it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are very good scores especially for an artist as commercial as her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melodean 8,232 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I gave this an album a listen in the car and I didn’t vibe with any of it. I’ve never been crazy about her voice but that’s probably why I don’t listen to her music but I’m glad the album is doing well so far https://open.spotify.com/track/7q1GGm2mBlC9hPWige0C6e?si=6b5319d0e3b44fa6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no, breaking records doesn't mean it's an excellent album. Exactly. Mc Donalds break records selling filthy burgers and this in no way means they're good Property of @Whale Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
