good to know! but i guess what i mean is when they're writing with their star system they're seeing it as a 1pt difference, not a 20 point difference. metacritic is what converts those scores into a much more nuanced scale

I like the way of thinking but regardless of star/point system this is something different. 5 star means perfect and equals to 100/100 after all and RS is saying she is releasing perfect albums since 2021

This reminds me of when Rep didn’t get nominated in the main categories, just Pop Vocal Album. :icant:

 

The second-hand embarrassment I felt watching this…

it’s giving Katy crying backstage because ET didn’t reach no.1 :ladyhaha:

I will NEVER believe a review that is 100. No album is 100% perfect and even if it were, it’s not going to instantly be 100% perfect upon first reaction. Albums need time to land so someone immediately saying it’s 100 it’s just clearly not reviewing it critically

If anyone else released it, it would have a 50/60 at best 

It has a 68 currently. I’m very surprised (not because of the quality; I haven’t listened and don’t intend to), but just because I had (mistakenly, I guess) thought she was pretty untouchable with critics at this point.

I think there’s a publication that gave it a 20 that hasn’t been added to the metacritic score. I bet her whole team is scrambling to get it unqualified

Metacritic is working hard with weights to keep it higher. 
 

15 reviews are below 68, only 5 are above.

RS can never be taken seriously again if they stick to that review. This is the kind of clownery that erodes a publications reputation and credibility.

What are we waiting for? The chop of an album is already out hon. 

Omg she wrote a song about the way you’re using “hon”

lol the fact that a 69 MC score is considered a total flop for Taylor, but it kind of is. Commercially it is doing well, but I don’t see it being sustained with this kind of backlash. I think the album is fine, some cute songs, but such a step back from the last few albums.
