actually the only thing that might lower the record's score are the interludes and maybe her more "controversial" lyrics, other than that i think it's going to have unniversal acclaim even without being "cohesive", which i don't even think is that important either for a good score nowadays

The controversial lyrics aren’t what I think could lower the score, if there are any. If the vision is inconsistent / not genuine, or if it sounds like a caricature of herself, or if the heavy stuff we hear in the early tracks don’t seem to have a good transition with the « lighter » tracks, this she’ll get dragged for. Or if the controversial lyrics feel forced or a repetition from album to album (which is not the case).
Bonus points for the score if she channels some sort of classic sound without mimicking it, making it her own (which what was Norman: neo Laurel-Canyon « before the doom »ish / death of the American Dream)

I think that fishtail will be transition point. It'll start soft and gentle as most of the previous tracks and than change on the second half. So well be ready for the next 2 bangers

i think thats  what critics LOVED about A&W the first part really looks like an 80's grunge rock sound but reworked in a way the only lana could bring up to the table

[GrenadineGrass 4,118]

And one thing that i think we're all missing of in this puzzle is: The last time that we've got an album with multiple hip-hop influenced tracks was lust for life, because norman just have doin time. The reputation that she had back there was NOTHING compared to nowadays. So we don't know actually how the critics can react to these tracks

It's just so weird to me how this album hasn't leaked yet, like the leaks rollout that occurred so far is very... flaccid. 

[taco truck 32,988]

Anyway it really doesn’t matter to me if it gets critical acclaim because It will be acclaimed by me

It’s ok I’m just being silly Lol! It’s coming out as a single on Tuesday and Lana is going on BBC radio 1 to do an interview along with the release,  apparently she will be announcing a surprise as well

[The Grants 13,489]

if Pitchfork say good things about The Grants I think that 8.5-9 is kinda secured
