No one has heard Dealer, and Thunder was improved

2017 & 2021 are only four years apart it's seriously not a huge deal

at this point if NME gave it a 80 pitchfork is going for a 60 or 50
 
I hope I'm just overreacting

DIY gave it an 80

The album's currently score on MC is 74

I'm mary (scared of pitchfork) again 

i in a way feel like the point of this album was to get mixed reviews – after all, "if everybody likes it, maybe it's not that good"

Ultraviolence, Honeymoon and Blue Banisters...the misunderstood trifecta.

Also, I don’t read music reviews at all really so idk if this is normal but… what is with the excessive descriptors? It’s really annoying me, somehow they list three adjectives in a row and yet manage to say nothing.. And no one seems to really digest and philosophize the content of her songs and the album as a whole, they just list some instruments and quote a random lyric, and any connections they make are surface level… I thot y’all had to go to school to get this job right?? 

i mean the guardian gave the same score to fucking NFR! we're lucky it wasn't lower

Definitely no. I didn’t see this harassment when TNBAR, Bartender or Yosemite made their respective albums. 

even NME ranked this lower than chemtrails... we lost

This album is already turning out to be polarizing in a sense. I get the same feeling from reading Blue Banisters reviews that I have when I've gone back and read reviews for Ultraviolence and Honeymoon. It's like Lana was first put in the "Born to Die" box, and then she was put into the "NFR" box (Lust for Life was kind of the middle ground between the two, in my opinion) and her stepping out of the box tends to lead to some not so great reviews. The people reviewing the record don't understand it at all.

I mean…
i didn’t think the guardian review was too bad - it’s honest. not everyone’s gonna have the same opinions, and obviously i’d like the album to get better ratings but hey, it is what it is, and it was decently written i’d say
 
 also? i’m not really seeing a lot of the “it’s not NFR so i don’t like it 😤” vibe yall seem to be 🤨

i'm surprised critics would even figure this out or be aware of this

There’s a reason the majority of these articles keep referencing BBS first… SHE IS THAT B!!  

At this point i think tg dont even hears lana albums
