Cacciatore 19,347 Posted September 3, 2019 Norman Fucking Rockwell doesn’t always connect. It’s one of Del Rey’s sleepiest albums yet, which is saying something, and the music could be trimmed and tightened here and there. And, at times, her references to other pop culture and musical moments can feel too much like a lazy creative crutch (although the couplet “I miss the bar where the Beach Boys would go / Dennis’ last stop before Kokomo” is gold) This was their only "complaint" about the album 6 Quote into your eyes my face remains Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VeniceBiatch 1,703 Posted September 3, 2019 i feel like NFR will be winning P4Ks album of the year, and The Greatest has a shot at their song of the year ! let's pray on it ladies 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UltraHeroin 8,803 Posted September 3, 2019 Yep. Predictable score from them. I think a 75 and 80 and a 91 and 90 kinda balance each other out so I'm guessing it's either gonna stay at 87 or maybe go back at 86 after these 4 reviews are added Overall, we still good fam 0 Quote ~~~My body is stuck in the ocean My mind is lost in the universe*** Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CinnamonGay 10,527 Posted September 3, 2019 Shit..2 reviews messed up a perfect 90 score. ... Why did pitchfork only count for 1 point? I thought it would be up by 2-3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cacciatore 19,347 Posted September 3, 2019 Shit..2 reviews messed up a perfect 90 score. ... Why did pitchfork only count for 1 point? I thought it would be up by 2-3 I think that's because of the two 60 scores, they kinda balance the other scores out unfortunatelly. 0 Quote into your eyes my face remains Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theeternalstars 4,576 Posted September 3, 2019 I would have thought that not even considering different weightings to different publications - a specific score like 9.4 should hold far more sway for Metacritic than a star review (out of 5) where the increment between scores is so large. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fingertips 72,034 Posted September 3, 2019 How is this her sleepiest album, when her vocals are the most emotional and energetic they've been since Born to Die? These morons have no idea what they're saying anymore. 10 Quote "You can't be a muse and be happy, too. You can't blacken the pages with Russian poetry and be happy." - Blue Banisters Quote I asked Asmodeus (the demon of lust) to make Miley Cyrus suffer. I am not happy with these new developments. After Miley rips off Lana's aesthetic, she bullies Lana into changing her release date. It is infuriating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
house of balloons 12,792 Posted September 3, 2019 How is this her sleepiest album, when her vocals are the most emotional and energetic they've been since Born to Die? These morons have no idea what they're saying anymore. i wonder if some of the reviewers even listen to the album they're reviewing at all, it's the same problem with every other female artist, the review has nothing to do with the actual content of the record 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailer park 249 Posted September 3, 2019 i wonder if some of the reviewers even listen to the album they're reviewing at all, it's the same problem with every other female artist, the review has nothing to do with the actual content of the record I think they make up the scores before they listen to the album based on whether they like the singer as a person or not... p.s. your avatar is sending me sdsdffdsdf 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kitschesque 9,882 Posted September 3, 2019 I am happy the album is well received and I know it is a great one but so far I can not connect to any song on personal level which is the 1st time with any of her albums... I just play it as a whole and enjoy it but I need A SONG or two THAT I CAN CONNECT TO... Isn't California pretty universal?
