Every album is flopping on reviews this weeks... Elton have only 10... Are critics on vacation or something?

People would tear AKA apart if it got re-released 100%. Especially songs like QOTGS, Brite Lites, PMIAM and Smarty. The only tracks I can see the GP liking are Pawn Shop Blues and Kill Kill.

i'm not dying for an official release of aka, but i'm very curious on how it would be received, how critics would review it and how big some of the songs would become. tiktok loved put me in a movie so it would probably become one of her top songs

idk im just so proud to be a fan wtf it's so good it's ok mama we know the truth so BREEZY 

[Fingertips 72,042]

oh, i was driving to the album earlier. Only got up to and through Violets for Roses, but man, that song, Text Book and Beautiful sound STUNNING on a car ride. Especially Beautiful. I was shocked because I thought it would be the song I needed to turn up the volume the most to hear (that was Arcadia and Black Bathing Suit, which you need to turn your volume to almost the max to hear clearly) but nope. Crisp and fresh 

 

Can't wait to listen to the rest tomorrow.

He dragged BBS, Beautiful, Dealer and Textbook 💀 

 

His favorites: BB, Arcadia, Thunder

 

He also didn’t like the vocals on most of the album.

Didn't watch, but didn't he like Text Book when the singles came out and call it "abstract?" Lol

A rat. Not even gonna give him a view 😊 

[Fingertips 72,042]

I knew he would drag BBS and Beautiful, but I wasn't expecting him to hate Dealer. 

[littleredpartydress 49,871]

God I hate that RAT

 

he could have given it an 11 and I would still DESPISE him. The way he has an army of incels that follow his every word and now there will be review bombing on all of the aggregator websites as always. It’s sick

Yes, so it surprised me a bit. He said it was kinda cringy.

[Solar Fields 4,163]

I get his criticism of BBS but DEALER?!?! Literally a top 5 Lana track

First they love you then they switch like...

 

[lustforlife 19,008]

Fantano is a incel that likes rap music and hates woman... Why r u surprised

[Fingertips 72,042]

Actually, the more that I think about it...Black Bathing Suit and Dealer are pretty much trolling the press, and he fell right into it. 

[lustforlife 19,008]

I hope she do a controversial album next that makes critics piss off. Much drogs fuck off critics and naked womans and rock!

My thoughts exactly 😶

[lustforlife 19,008]

Those coments about vocals.... Horses by Patti Smith would be drag in those days 

[Poor Stacy 11,996]

What off key vocals is he even referring to other than the second verse of Arcadia, and the yelling on BBS/Dealer? "Off key vocals in almost every pocket of the album"? Bitch, where? 

Honestly, all the things he doesn't like about the album - how raw, messy and varied it is, are my favorite things about it. I would say it's definitely the most Hardcore Lana album yet, in that it's closest to who she is as an ~actual human being~, so clearly she just isn't for him. He may not like the execution, but he can't say she didn't experiment a bit here.

 

Also, rolling my eyes at him falling into the Twitter-esque interpretation of Text Book and basically calling her a fake ally. He fell for every single bit of the critic bait.
