Fingertips 72,117 Posted September 2, 2019 All of the critics and their love for hope is a dangerous thing.... LanaBoards, time to put on our collective clown suits 7 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

Off To The Races 2010 demo pls 19,335 Posted September 2, 2019 90/100 on MC incoming 0 Quote "ser bella me dio privilegios, pero ser astuta me dio poder" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ilovetati 15,295 Posted September 2, 2019 90/100 on MC incoming Observer grade below average, so 80 from them shouldn't move the score much, CoS will bump up for sure, but Variety may lower things a few points. Don't know where it will end up after these three? A lot depends on whether or not Pitchfork give her BNM and an 8.8+. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theeternalstars 4,576 Posted September 2, 2019 https://variety.com/2019/music/reviews/album-review-lana-del-reys-norman-f-ing-rockwell-1203319612/#article-comments More of a summary than a review (or a think-piece about Tarantino/Lana), so I'm not sure what the score will be. I can only guess about 70 (or maybe 80 if they're generous). My comment that didn’t make it past moderation : This is a poor review. The writer dutifully describes the general sound of the record and touches upon Del Rey's public persona, but unfortunately fails to stand back and critically appraise the album as a body of work. Where he does make statements of opinion, they are often unsubstantiated and miss the mark. Where are the 'jarringly explicit lyrics about sex and violence'? Are they particularly explicit when compared to what is considered the norm in pop music today? Why are they jarring - do they stick out like a sore thumb from the songs in which they reside, or is it perhaps because the artist is a woman? Why do the final three songs drag down its overall score? Is it merely because they are slow piano ballads? Why hasn't the critic deigned to mention the final track (arguably the emotional centrepiece of the record) at all, but has managed to shoehorn in clumsy comparisons to Quentin Tarantino in four out of eight paragraphs? The final paragraph sums up what is wrong with the review: the reader is left in the dark as to whether Mr Aswad thinks that the record is a good album or a bad album - only that it is a Lana Del Rey album. edit: I might email metacritic to ask them to not count it since it’s so poorly written 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Off To The Races 2010 demo pls 19,335 Posted September 2, 2019 Northern Transmissions gave it 90/100 but they don't count on MC I believe 0 Quote "ser bella me dio privilegios, pero ser astuta me dio poder" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cacciatore 19,346 Posted September 2, 2019 Spin, Paste, NYT and Drowned in Sound usually give her good scores, Sputnik will probably give her a good one too if we take that other review in consideration. Pitchfork, Consequence of Sound, tiny mixtapes and AV Club are tough ones but I'm confident about pitchfork's review because the woman who's writing it said a lot of positive things about NFR on her twitter. Anyway let's wait, I still think the album could end up with a +85 score. Still waiting for Spin, Paste, NYT, DIS and Pitchfork Sputnik was a major letdown and I think AV Club won't be nice either 1 Quote into your eyes my face remains Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ilovetati 15,295 Posted September 2, 2019 I still can't get over the LA Times article being counted as an 80 when it doesn't have a single criticism and raves about the album. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
