are there going to be any more critic reviews? The album out for more than 2 weeks but it seems like Metacritics is still counting tasteless reviews from dumb journalists

I do find it so interesting to compare the score to someone like Caroline Polacheck, who's last album was Godly, but the critics seem so much more receptive to the fact that Caroline herself is a genius than bestowing that on lana. They have a built in misunderstanding no matter how much she says otherwise that Lana, even with the recent praise, still has some sort of machine behind her, like it's not enough for them. Idk what more she can give them to make them happy, so fuck em.

to be fair, i think the album was not made primarily for the critics, but more for the sales and fans, maybe even more for Lana herself

it's maybe her most experimental album. despite it has some outstanding songs, it's not very coherent and some songs seem a bit unfinished. I think the next album could become better.

She said Arcadia was one of her favorite songs she's done, and imo Sweet resembles that song a lot. I think she might be going more in that direction although I would like her to continue with songs like A&W

When you’ve got people genuinely stating a Melanie sequel album is better than a Lana album you know it’s divisive- the album is just not liked by everyone and that’s fine- people are still showing it love.
