The text is a little more negative but the score itself is fine? A 6/10 is far from a drag or a pan, especially compared to their past. Slant always gives her terrible reviews, so yeah, that was expected. Frankly, as you correctly said, compared to the past a 6/10 is relatively good by Slant's standards. She's still at 85 on Metacritic, and they usually don't upload more than 20 reviews at most, so unless all the remaining reviews are 60s and below she's unlikely to drop into the 70s 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know haters always get accused of being bitter Madonna stans, and a lot of times that label is thrown around blindly, but this is one of the times it actually is. They have always dismissed her, given backhanded compliments, and their reviews are dropping in vitriol. And this is with multiple writers. If anyone else gave a mixed review, it would be whatever. But with them, it's predictable. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murakami27 4,719 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 A little preview from NYT, the review won't be coming until next week. By Lindsay Zoladz Dear listeners, Today, Lady Gaga released “Mayhem,” her first pop album in nearly five years. If you have ever prayed for a Gaga song that sounds like “Reputation”-era Taylor Swift belting to the heavens atop an expertly chosen Yaz sample, rejoice and join me in blasting “How Bad Do U Want Me” on endless repeat. I’m still processing how I feel about “Mayhem” as a whole, so look out for my review early next week…. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
27monster27 13,143 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 In regards to Slant Magazine, this is all I will say (lifting directly from my comment that's awaiting approval): “…she sings with the shamelessness of someone half her age.” You have Hillary Clinton as your profile picture, and you are a woman. With that, you post something ageist like this? Do better. People attacked someone for attacking Anthony Fantano a month ago, but they were right. Critics ABSOLUTELY deserve the stigma of receiving mass hate when they spew hateful rhetoric like this. he/him/his 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
