According to far out mag the UK critics were all taken to a room by UMG and forced to sit and listen ?

They should have thrown away the key until they committed to at least 90/100 

[taco truck]

Also 80/100 or 4/5 is literally a good review dont act like it’s getting panned because it’s not getting 5/5

[Sunset Opal]

Spoiler

I don’t know what did she put in Candy Necklace but I am listening to it whole day  also Fishtail is such a bop omg

 

[Eat The Ducky Moss]

these reviews are triggering me man… cause i know damn well these critics did not sit and actually take time to listen, and RELISTEN to the music. instead their publications are probably rushing them to push out the “first” review to gain $$$ - so of course they’re skipping over the narratives. 

Half-assing their work i swear.

It'd be a joke if it receives a lower score than BB

10/10 from Gigwise.

From the Far Out review “I’m waiting to be taken to the listening room. Universal Music don’t want Lana Del Rey’s latest album, Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd, to leak, so all the music writers in London have been summoned to UMG headquarters to listen, take notes and nibble free peanuts.” So yeah I’m guessing they all listened to it once.

BB only got good reviews because of critics who are scared of fans imo… no way it deserved more than 7.5

[anwdelrey]

Now, back to, the critics that had a lot to say about Lana the other day in the press WHATS GOOD?

How can you write a proper review after ONE listen?

“A magnum opus of reincarnation and revisitation”

[mostexoticflwr]

first 10/10 secured.

[anwdelrey]

Gigwise dubbing it her magnum opus is INSANE.

[Pink Flamingo]

I know that MC does not average the scores but rather weights them, can someone do the calculations to see what the actual score would be?

A magnum opus of reincarnation and revisitation - as heard once

Far Out Review: "Suddenly we’re being sucker-punched by ‘Candy Necklace’, an infectious slice of road-ready glitch-pop, which in turn gives way to the refreshingly experimental ‘Jon Batiste Interlude’, a solo piano track built on found sound from a broadway theatre performance, over which audience members’ comments and critiques are only just audible."

 

lol what

 

 

[mostexoticflwr]

"A week before release, we’re brought into a record label office basement to listen to Lana Del Rey's new album to review. There are drinks and snacks; the crunchy kind, to be chomped on during the masterpiece."

 

 

okay but now i need to know exactly what they were eating when they listened to this masterpiece cuz if i was given shitty snacks i'd give a poor review too!
