the truth is when it comes to album
reviews lana is respected but doesn’t have the instant respect some other artists get where she’ll be handed a perfect score no matter what she does. NFR! and Chem are her only albums to achieve “universal acclaim” by Metacritic’s standards (81+/100)
lana’s acclaim is more of a general acclaim by critics, because acclaim isn’t just to do with albums 🙏 either way, although i’d really like for the album to receive huge amounts of praise (which it kinda already is, how are we complaining about 4/5 scores 😭), it’s a divisive record that requires more attention than a lot of reviewers have time for
