The problem is that critics will most certainly invoke the IG posts because it was through these posts that the new album was announced. Moreover, the ostensible reason for the original "problematic" post was related to the thematic content of the new material––unfortunately, even the most well-meaning critic will have hard time resisting the temptation to allude to the drama surrounding the announcement of the album (I can already see so well that opening sentence in a review of the album...). I think that if the album is solid, however, it might be the best way to definitively leave all the drama behind and move on, as in, "yes, she made a social media faux pas, but the new music is great, so let's all focus on that."

Posted this in the Violet Metacritic page, but thought it made sense to post here, too. 
 
I really, really want Chemtrails to be released in September, but the problem with Lana is that she doesn't apologize. She doesn't see why people are upset about that stupid IG post, and if she is, she's unwilling to apologize for it. 
 
Part of me respects her for that, because she stands in her mess, and if she feels she was completely misinterpreted, she has the right to feel that way. That said, it's probably going to impact her critically for a while, Chemtrails included. Don't be surprised if we get more mixed/negative reviews this year because of all this dumb drama, unless she addresses it thoroughly in the album. 
 
Critics will use the IG drama to overshadow the quality of the music. Everything she releases this year will be contextualized w/ the current events it was released within, and her actions throughout. It sucks, but it is what it is.

This was a good review with some good insights, I enjoyed reading it. I'm glad they are not grading it numerically. It's logical not to do so but you never know with Pitchfork.

it's not coming out. anyone wanna bet money on that?

fucked my way up to the top and money power glory really aren't doing it for me anymore, i think they're boring.

Most of the reviews seem to be positive.
 
I would ignore The Guardian (which ranks high in terms of media bias) and Jezebel (whatever the hell that is).
 
The chart numbers are looking good and the fans are liking it. It does seem well liked by critics.

I actually love that the vocals on some of the poems sound like they were recorded on her phone, it lends them a grittier quality that I appreciate. 

Thicc for COCC, love it!

for those of you saying this isn't "poetry".... you clearly have not studied the BEAT Poets.... 
poetry does not ALWAYS have to follow a clear rhyme and perfect stanza routine...

Is it just me who doesn't get why NFR is considered to have "no production"?

Title poem is the shortest, interesting.
