Lust for Life Reviews/Metacritic Thread

[reputation]

Since its an anti-trump album, they'll give her a 100!

[ilovetati]

Second review is a 4/5 from The Telegraph!

Can't wait for the Tiny Mixtapes review

[ilovetati]

Not them coming for Tomorrow Never Came, though. And they got the "singing with Sean" lyric slightly wrong. Someone correct them in the comments

[GodBlessMe]

It's kind of interesting that both reviewers seem to love Coachella and In My Feelings. My two least favorite songs.

[subversive light]

75-80

[ilovetati]

I'm so afraid Pitchfork is going to drag...even after that interview and their recent articles lauding her 

[Yosemite]

She already has two critics

80 from Telegraph

and 70 from NY Times (  )

[forkpt1]

let's all hack metacritic and give it a 100 because she deserves it

[TROPICUM]

i second this

[ilovetati]

That New York Times review reads more like an 80 than a 70. Lemme use my stan Twitter account to tweet the author and ask.

[Daisy Hearted]

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

Really? I thought the critics hated it, especially since NeedleDrop roasted it.

I don't think that Youtuber counts as a critic. 

[Daisy Hearted]

I don't think that Youtuber counts as a critic. 

Yeah, good point.

[SuperMegaStan]

another 80s in the basket

btw, it's time to spam the metacitic's twitter/email, the NYTimes should be 80

[electra]

Metacritic score currently sits at 75 from critics and 9.1 from users

[ilovetati]

80 from The Independent as well.

[ilovetati]

The Billboard review is very positive, but it doesn't count for MC

[daytonadeath]

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
