Cacciatore 19,347 Posted September 4, 2019 I'm so happy with the 88, but the publications left are some of the toughest ones towards her. The 405, Exclaim, Tiny Mix Tapes, Spin, Q Magazine, Under the Radar, Quietus, Record Collector, Uncut, Chicago Tribune (if he reviews, score will be low for sure), etc. I'm afraid they will drop the score to 83 or sum 0 Quote into your eyes my face remains Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SweetNatalia 18 Posted September 4, 2019 So when will melon AKA the self proclaimed busiest nerd will drop his review? Is theneedledrop review counted on Meta? Can't wait to see his personal bias once again get in the way of rating NFR more than negative 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ilovetati 15,297 Posted September 4, 2019 Actually, a few haven't reviewed her in a while The 405 - UV (30), Honeymoon (N/A), LFL (N/A) Exclaim - UV (70), HM (80), LFL (N/A) TMT - UV (N/A), HM (70), LFL (70) Spin - UV (80), HM (70), LFL (80) Q Magazine - UV (80), HM (60), LFL (N/A) Under the Radar- UV (50), HM (60), LFL (70) Chicago Tribune - UV (50), HM (N/A), LFL (N/A) Quietus - UV (N/A), HM (50), LFL (N/A) Uncut - UV (N/A), HM (80), LFL (N/A) Record Collector UV (N/A), HM (N/A), LFL (N/A) American Songwriter UV (N/A), HM (70), LFL (60) MusicOMH UV (70), HM (70), LFL (70) No Ripcord UV (70), HM (N/A), LFL (60) So, looks like we can expect MusicOMH, No Ripcord, Tiny Mix Tapes, American Songwriter, and Under the Radar to drag down the score unless the album has won them over Don't think NYT is reviewing because they did a feature instead (did the same with UV), but they gave HM and LFL 80s 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unknown 3,173 Posted September 4, 2019 what happens to reviews that dont actually give a score? are they just not included on metacritic 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theeternalstars 4,576 Posted September 4, 2019 what happens to reviews that dont actually give a score? are they just not included on metacritic If the publication is counted by Metacritic from their list for music (found here), Metacritic staff assign a score to each review (typically in increments of 10) unless the writer notifies them of their intended numerical score. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theeternalstars 4,576 Posted September 4, 2019 They raved the album and called it "dazzling," "stirring," "emotionally-risky," "gorgeous melodies that have never been more vidid (for the artist)," etc. There are zero critiques of the album. It reads as a very clear rave, so it does not feel reflective of the review's spirit for the score to be as low as an 80 rather than a 100 (or 90, even). Someone else should email them. I already tried. You're fab with these things so have probably already done it but I think the only option is contacting the writer Mikael Wood. Metacritic implies that they won't change their scoring decisions unless the writer contacts them. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CatchTheBreeze 1,681 Posted September 5, 2019 The User Score has climbed back to 9.2 now – if I'm not mistaken at least 100 negative ratings have been deleted? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UltraHeroin 8,803 Posted September 5, 2019 Reviews have really slowed. I wonder how many more we'll get. I'm thinking 5 more reviews max. LFL only had 26 so I think this could be the maximum amount for NFR too. Could be lower but I don't think it's gonna be higher than like 26-27 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
