Coney Island King 26,003 Posted September 19, 2015 i wonder how pitchfork will go. they gave btd a very weak review, 5/10, however the women who reviewed then said later on she thought maybe she was too hard on it. they were nicer to UV though, it got a 7/10 from what i remember. i doubt they'll go higher than a 7 for her ever in their lives, but so far the album seems to be getting a better reception than UV which did decent across review platform. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
renaissance 8,329 Posted September 19, 2015 Although in general you're right, I hope this isn't an attempt to defend Miley Cyrus on his review of her latest album (I haven't seen him digging into anybody else) EDIT: Never mind, he reviewed Born to Die & UV badly? Miley's new album is absolutely AMAZING. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jizzy Grant 150 Posted September 19, 2015 I think critics more or less know what to expect from her at this point in her career. Her weaknesses (vocals/lyrics) are so past the point of obvious that critics seem to pretty much ignore it now. So I can't say that the music itself is getting acclaim, but rather from Lana's ability to construct her distinct world/persona - if that makes sense. You can tell simply by the way they write about her now, almost as if they were playing along with her. Hence why I think most of them are giving her positive reviews. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vanillaiceys 221 Posted September 19, 2015 Autotune? yeah, I mean, listen to BE and Cola, it's not her voice! She never done anything like that live, you know? She's a great singer, but that's not her voice (sorry for the bad english, it's not my first language) 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
writtenxrabbits 905 Posted September 19, 2015 I'm very glad that she's getting generally favorable reviews. I hope she at least matches UV with her metacritic score. Her vocals sound amazing on every album. Except on Paradise (too much auto-tune, it's like another person singing) huh, I don't think she sounds that different on Paradise? Maybe I'm not listening closely enough, tho. It all sounds like the same Lana to me. *shrugs* 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thatsomason 1,202 Posted September 19, 2015 yeah, I mean, listen to BE and Cola, it's not her voice! She never done anything like that live, you know? She's a great singer, but that's not her voice (sorry for the bad english, it's not my first language) People can do a lot of things in studio that they don't wish to replicate live, just because it can be harmful to their voice (mariah carey I'm looking at you). With Cola in particular and the high note in it, Lana's perfectly capable of doing it if she practices and doesn't harm her voice. She's done it once (Olympia in Paris 2013) and I think one other time and it was greeeaaatt. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeadAgainst 1,515 Posted September 19, 2015 yeah, I mean, listen to BE and Cola, it's not her voice! She never done anything like that live, you know? She's a great singer, but that's not her voice (sorry for the bad english, it's not my first language) There is no autotune here ... honestly it always bothers me that her etheric vocals on "Cola" are so buried in the mix … and BTW "American" has to have her best-ever vocal performance; this whole album is severely underrated 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
