Plaything Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Posted on Popjustice 3 stars out of 5 in the latest Q with a review by Dorian Lynsky. It basically says the Heart songs work really well, but the Rebel songs are hit and miss. Calls "S.E.X" silly and says there should be an inquiry into "Bitch I'm Madonna". Only a score of 60 from Q? That's quite disappointing. Does anyone know the Q scores for her previous albums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Only a score of 60 from Q? That's quite disappointing. Does anyone know the Q scores for her previous albums? MDNA received four stars and a glowing review from Simon Goddard in Q. He called it her best since ROL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plaything Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 So, MDNA is better than Rebel Heart? No! Yeah that's just silly. If they don't think RH is on par with MDNA, then they still could have been generous and give 3.5 stars instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo94 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Am I the only one thinking that is still too early for reviews? Most of the reviews for MDNA were out three weeks before the albums release, so its actually late this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glindathegood Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 There's no accounting for taste I guess. I would give MDNA 3 stars and Rebel Heart 5 stars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loowee Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I think y'all need to get prepared for RH's reviews because the critics who usually take everything seriously are going to drag the REBEL songs hardcore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

air1975 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I have only heard 4 songs off of RH - but I don't understand the dislike you guys have for MDNA.

nefarious Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I think y'all need to get prepared for RH's reviews because the critics who usually take everything seriously are going to drag the REBEL songs hardcore Some probably will; I just hope the quality of the songs makes most of them overcome their biases. Obviously it's Madonna and pretty much everyone already has a fixed opinion about her, but what does that say about music critics that they care more about judging the person rather than the music? This is why I hesitate to read reviews sometimes. Still, MDNA had some great reviews so I don't see why RH should be different, especially since I personally find it superior to MDNA, both stylistically and lyrically. I guess we'll wait and see.

They'll find any excuse to pick on Madonna, simply because she's Madonna. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak for Jimmy or Cool, but I adore B-Day Song, it's more of the Hanky Panky than the Jimmy Jimmy school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
