Yeah, all they want is attention, guys. Don't tweet about them.

Dear Metacritic staff,
 
I hope this email finds you well. 
 
I would like to start by saying that I value the work that you do for promoting the cultural and art sectors. I believe that Metacritic has become such a trusted source precisely as a result of your long-standing integrity, commitment to upholding objective criticism and professionalism. 
 
On that note I would like to bring to your attention a review of Lana Del Rey’s latest release “Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd”. The review in question is by Sputnik Music [insert link], which have presented a completely biased view of the album and have given a score of 2.5/5. This score is significantly lower than the average score of the album so far which comprises over 20 (!) reviews by various publications. This indicates that there is clear misalignment between Sputnik Music and their peers which can only be explained by subjectiveness. There is a clear trend by Sputnik Music bringing down album scores without any credible merit. One could even see negative bias against certain female artists, which if true, hides a much more serious issue with Sputnik Music’s work and potential misogyny and sexism veiled by false pretences of objectivity and informed artistic criticism. 
 
I believe that Metacritic should review the participation of Sputnik Music in its aggregate  scores and consider removing them from not only Lana Del Rey’s page, but all artists. I believe in Metacritic’s integrity and do not consider Sputnik Music’s values to be aligned with yours. 
 
I am looking forward to your reply. 
 
Yours faithfully,
 
XXX

I got my Target exclusive and Indie vinyls today and they're both so pretty omg 
 
They show up a lot darker on camera, but the target one in person is much more of raspberry/dark pink and the Indie one is actually much more minty than some of the pictures make it look lol I had to make the image a bit brighter to get it look more accurate to how it really looks
 
 
I will say though, even with adjusting the brightness my camera really isn't capturing the pink tone of the Target vinyl...its kinda weird but maybe its just my lighting

Apparently this album won’t ever leak… my God 

I was just thinking earlier how nice it was to not have to read ‘did it leak’ on every page then I got to this thread  

one thing about melanie is she will always add some sporadic dancing that doesn’t fit the energy of the song/video

oh she wants him dead

i actually really enjoy death even though the drop in the song is prob my least fav part
i dont wanna be carrying the weight on my shoulders 

she got packed boxed flipped AND topped

I kind of expected her to keep with the prosthetic thing for all of the videos, but I thought it would at least look a bit better with post-production. I think the fact she keeps going for close up shots in it doesn't help with lessening the appearance of the seams or how lifeless the eyes look, because typically that sort of thing is designed to be looked at from a few feet away. DEATH was a song that could've had a better video, but I think with Melanie being stuck on only being seen as the new creature that really holds her back a lot. That said I will forever find it HILARIOUS the way the dancers just start dancing while still at the funeral, because I was joking about that last night and I didn't think they'd ACTUALLY do it.

I do think too much of the video was her floating up out of the grave. Kinda boring
