Lust for Life Reviews/Metacritic Thread

[GodBlessMe 2,141]

Better than expected from Slant tho

[CatchTheBreeze 1,681]

I'm curious if we get at least one 100 review. Without some 90's and 100's the final score will surely be in the mid to low 70's range.

I am salty that certain artists seem to get inflated scores based mostly on their reputation while Lana has the opposite problem. Some artists can deliver a decent album and end up with rave reviews, while Lana keeps moving forward while keeping her unique voice and gets ripped for BTD again. I feel her music is rarely actually on review. Are the songs good or not, I couldn't care less if they're ~authentic~ or not.

If this doesn't surpass HM....

Metacritic needs to add:

Sputnik - 80

Observer - 80

Slant - 70

Yes, I mean I just listened to Lorde's new album again and while it's really nice I don't understand how on earth this album can get a 91 metascore? (a 65–70 would be okay with me...)

75 from AV Club http://www.avclub.com/review/lust-life-lana-del-rey-envisions-slightly-brighter-258493

 

On average, this publication grades
2 points higher than other publications.

 

That means it could bring her score down a bit

 

 

 

In comparison with Honeymoon - LFL:

 

NYT 80 - 80

The Independent 80 -80

The Guardian 80 - 80

The Telegraph 80-80

DIY 80 -80

Observer 80-80

Sputnik x - 80

AV Club x - 75

Slant 60 - 70

For some reasons, some reviews from SowingSeason staff member on Sputnikmusic were not added in metacritics  - so you better spam metacritics staff if its not added in a week.

[SilverSprings 534]

75 from AV Club

 

I am stunned she got even as high that from AV Club considering they dragged BTD and UV to FILTH with clearly biased reviewers and didn't even bother to review Honeymoon

[ParadiseFreak 676]

Just came across this Lust for Life blog review... I agree with a lot of this... https://heavyreverie.wordpress.com/2017/07/24/first-impressions-lana-del-reys-lust-for-life/

Updated with everything but AV Club and still sits at 83! We really need Pitchfork to give her BNM and a couple of 100 scored for the album to stay in the "universal acclaim" range

[viagra 1,642]

Anna Garca (who Lana sent to go fk herseld) from Spin reviewed the album   http://www.spin.com/2017/07/lana-del-rey-lust-for-life-review/ Score not revealed yet

[ilovetati 15,295]

Y'all should email Metacritic and say that her review shouldn't count due to obvious bias and link to her articles on the "fk you" debacle

Lets see her score first, it could be 70 - 80. Some reviews were quite harsh like GooglePlay but they still gave her 4/5.

I don't think Spin gives scores anymore? I think MC will interpret it as a 70.

 

Edit: Well, the title calls it "warm and engaging," so maybe it is an 80.

[latothemoon 11,837]

Still waiting for those Billboard and Pitchfork reviews. Also Metacritic really needs to update the score lol.
