I hope she gets her score up to 90 when all the reviews come in. I didn't even expect this many rave reviews, wig flew

[Belle 143]

getting there, 84 is a great score so far

Breitbart made a "review" on LFL, look at the comments

[CatchTheBreeze 1,681]

So The Guardian has been added with an 80. That's a pleasant surprise regarding Lana's harsh words against this one Guardian interviewer a few days ago...

[TROPICUM 6,406]

She needs at least two 100% and one or two 90% to get that 90+ score

[ilovetati 15,295]

Another 80 from Sputnik!

[IanadeIrey 61,317]

She's doing so well. So proud of her! 

[ilovetati 15,295]

I would give my right testicle for her to get Best New Album from Pitchfork

BNM is (Scum F**k) Flower Boy. Let's hope for a >7.5 review. That's more realistic.

But maybe they're holding out to give Lana BNM in the next batch of reviews

 

(SZA, Lizorde, and Fleet Foxes were all named BNM in the span of four days)

Does anyone remember Honeymoon's score when the first few reviews came in

[ilovetati 15,295]

It started as a 79, IIRC.

The Independent (UK) ★★★★
‘Lust For Life’ is more of an elaboration on her favourite subjects rather than a repetition, in fact, it’s her most expansive album to date.

The New York Times — Positive (Metacritic Score: 80) 
‘Lust For Life’ is her most expansive album; it has 16 songs, stretching nearly 72 minutes. It also, in rare moments, hints at a wink behind Ms. Del Rey’s somber lullabies.

The Guardian ★★★★
She is consistent in her aesthetic, adding zeitgeisty elements to her sound without being dictated by them. And for that reason she exists in a lonesome, luxurious league of her own.

The Telegraph (UK) ★★★★
‘Lust For Life’ lets a bit of light into the darkness of Del Rey’s moody past works, hinting at emotional recovery without drastically altering her sensuous musical palette.

DIY Magazine ★★★★
Her most honest album yet, ‘Lust For Life’ also stands up as Lana Del Rey’s best to date.

GQ Magazine (UK)
‘Lust For Life’ is an accomplished piece of art, an antidote to the banal tunes permeating the charts and one of the best albums released this year so far.

Sputnik Music ★★★★
The album, like Lana Del Rey, has earned the right not to be overlooked.

Highsnobiety ★★★★
Part love story and part political parable, it’s her most complex, linear and ambitious record to date; one that demands to be listened to from swaying start to folky finish.

Northern Transmissions — 8.5
While the album takes a few tracks to hit its stride, the majority of the record more than makes up for its slow start.

Evening Standard (London) ★★★
It’s just about enough to keep her interesting, despite the unchanging funeral march pacing.

[AphroditeBaby 912]

We managed to go an entire day and a half without any major critics being like "This is the same as her last album, but just totally different. 2/5" Or "Lana is happy again, but she should've stayed dark. 3/5"  

[reputation 6,318]

So The Guardian has been added with an 80. That's a pleasant surprise regarding Lana's harsh words against this one Guardian interviewer a few days ago...

Guardian is not biased

[ilovetati 15,295]

Another 80 from The Observer.

 

Metacritic needs to add that and Sputnik

[SuperMegaStan 9,749]

3.5/5 from Slant.

our 80s days are over 

[ilovetati 15,295]

And Slant has to go and ruin it of course.
