I can feel in my bones that he’s also going to read the lyrics to Beautiful off of Genius mid-review & drag her rhyming. He did the same with Yosemite & I just sense it’ll be a repeat scenario lol

 

I hate him for doing that, not because of the song, but because there is not a single lyric that will survive being taken out of context, stuck up on the screen, and then recited in a bored/sarcastic voice. It's lazy reviewing, and people do it all the time because they're out of ideas.

Let's not let them bullshit us. we all know they're just lazy reviews bc if they actually put any genuine effort into it they'd experience BLISS. BLISS!!

I have the feeling Pitchfork is going to give BB a nice score anyway

Same! Do I like those specific lyrics I mentioned? Not as much, but I think her delivery of the words can be just as important, and Fantano seems to overlook that consistently in Lana’s discography, sadly

i don't understand the point of judging the lyrics by how they look written out... i can understand looking up the lyrics to get a better understanding of them in general, but looking up the lyrics to read them out doesn't make any sense because they might make more sense or just better in the context of the song itself... what happened to just listening to the song and deciding whether or not you like it and why?

fantano about to fry that bad girl line on bbs and all of the reworks 

Idk I think he could go either way. He really liked Blue Banisters and Text Book, and was meh about Arcadia (THE LACK OF TASTE) and WW. He hasn’t explicitly disliked any of her new tracks so I feel something like 6 or 7. (he gave NFR! an 8)

[Super Movie 51,554]

Currently killing time by writing a full, in-depth review for each track on the album and the album as a whole. In my reviewer era 

[Fingertips 72,034]

What are we listening to while we wait, US besties who are waiting until midnight? And don't say the album 

[pin up galore 18,967]

Does the beginning of Black Bathing Suit give off Silver Springs vibes or is it just me?
