Why do you care about critics and scores?

well i mean once again a 7/10 isn’t bad 

 

it better stay up there.. anything below a 7 is just unacceptable and I haven't even heard the full record to know that

Oh this is dipping lower than the new Miley album.

 

I said I was saving myself for release day but the reviews made me want to listen to it now .

I think for some people it's not just about Lana getting her flowers and more so they need them to validate their opinions, which 

 

I wish Lana didnt care either tho

Is it just my impression or in fingertips she talks about an episode of rape when she was 15 and then she thought about committing suicide by running to the sea. Later in the song, she talks about having a baby at 16? but had a cocktail of things that twisted neurons (arons) inside (probably an abortion)

I thought it was comparing something young and innocent (being naked/bare, carefree as a child) with something horrible like her neighbour doing a drive-by (shooting I presume). Not sure what she means in the following lines about “I wanted to go out like you, swim with the fishes” - it sounds like yes she’s saying she wants to die a particular way but not sure why.

 

Later I think she says have “a babe at 16” as in like a boyfriend. She just wanted a simple life, have a bf at a young age, get married and die in the town she was born in - yet all of these traumatic. things happened to her that took that innocent simple life away (being sent away, drugs, fame etc)

 

I think the cocktails that twist neurons inside is medication for her mental health

And when the album ends, after 70 minutes of tinny vocals and an annoying bass rattle from one speaker; I think everyone should’ve got up and applauded. Instead, we collect our phones and shuffle out. We’ve listened to it once, time to go rate years of hard work. I think we should all be forced into a room to try and make something like that. I bin my coke and walk out, questioning the whole profession.

I’m giving the album a 10. I know it before I leave the building. I have that feeling in my bones that I get in a good gallery; a mix of being awed and totally humbled.

I get it, but then she says "what the fuck is wrong with you to send me away, exotic people and places to take the place of being your child"

Which I think she's talking about us, her fans, exotic people that take the places of being her child.

Been reading some reviews out of curiosity and some of these are so lazily written  It reminds me of how I used to make shit up for my book reports in school after reading a quick summary online. The last one I read mixed up a Summertime Sadness lyric with a Video Game one and the one before that got Violet's title wrong too like were they in a rush or smthn...

i do agree a lot of these reviews seemed rushed.. the most alarming thing was the guardian’s reviewer saying bb was their fav album 😭😭
