That other Guardian review is the Observer review...both count. Also, UV is her other album with no bad songs. HM starts so well, but the end is a major let down. DLMBM is so poor compared to TOW, and 24 is rather mediocre. I also think Swan Song is highly overrated.

Quoting this so it doesn't get lost on the last page

Do we have a pdf or imgur of the booklet yet?

Sputnik ruining it

https://ew.com/music-reviews/2019/08/30/lana-del-rey-norman-fucking-rockwell-review/ B from EW. What does that translate to for MC?

Sputnik review doesn’t count, guys. It’s a contributor not staff - even if it’s in that staff section.

88

90 from Rolling Stone 100 from NOW Toronto Both count

https://uproxx.com/pop/lana-del-rey-norman-fucking-rockwell-review/ They call it a masterpiece, but don’t count for MC

Refresh - it’s the staff rating too and they added a review.

https://www.allmusic.com/album/nfr%21-mw0003306752 4.5/5 from AllMusic!! That’s big

Missing from MC are: NME - 100 Clash - 80 Telegraph - 60

Just one - Sputnik only counts “staff” not contributors even though they’re in the staff section

What

https://www.standard.co.uk/go/london/music/lana-del-rey-norman-rockwell-album-review-a4224836.html 5/5 from Standard UK, but they don't count. Time also calls it her best album. https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/80126/Lana-Del-Rey-Norman-Fucking-Rockwell/ Perfect score from Sputnik (but do they count Contributors?).

Full-on rave from LA Times (and they're heavily-weighted). They call it "dazzling," "stirring," and "emotionally-risky." https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2019-08-29/lana-del-rey-norman-rockwell-album-review Reads like a 100.

My last post was stolen.

Magnum Opus

Longest minute ever.

Magnum opus o'clock now omg

Bye, everyone

It’s not realistic, but at least the reviews are great so far.

I’m so sad this thread is ending - despite the stress and chaos, it’s been a fun ride. And I’m so happy it ended with a great album!

Also, AllMusic used to have UV highlighted blue as the “choice” album with the highest rating of 4/5, but the blue has been removed. I think/hope that means NFR will be made the “choice” with a 4 or 4.5 score. Edit: Nvm, I think it was because I was on mobile.

Same! I started a separate thread for reviews like I’ve done each era. Elle has to approve it, though. I hope it receives the acclaim it deserves.
