Lust for Life Reviews/Metacritic Thread

[ilovetati 15,301]

I love these threads

 

I can see them complaining about it feeling like two different albums, but loving the second half. Maybe something like 67-73

I think it will fall in line with her other releases. It has some genre and vocal diversity, a little lacking lyrically, but new and fresh topic material as well. I think critics might see as her "broadening her scopes". So I predict ~70

[TROPICUM 6,407]

in b4 it gets 54 and stays yellow forever and ever

75-77. Between UV and HM

[DinahLee 6,321]

Hoping for a 70 at least, would be good... But idk, the hip hop beats then acoustic tracks....

 

My bet will be a 70 LOL let's pray

70 is a high bet  , but i love high bets

No way it will top Honeymoon in critics' eyes, songs like Lust for Life are too commercial and a misstep like Coachella will not be ignored.

Coachella got good reviews from critics, just bad reviews from fans.

70 ...this album is really gonna have some of her best and worst (like worst) songs

[latothemoon 11,847]

Idk why you guys aren't expecting a high score, the singles have gotten pretty good reviews so far and the other tracks sound even better judging from the snippets. I bet the score will be higher than UV but not higher than HM. We'll see

[HunterSThompson 4,646]

Higher than UV but lower than HM 

[derangedmanic 150]

71. Love and the last 7 tracks (judging by the snippets) will save it from going into the 60s.
