I mean "the “Get Together” chart-topper"??? Of all the songs! hahahaha. Lovely article, by the way. She needs as much positive press as possible. me, I’m very happy with whatever they are writing if it’s positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXL Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 15 hours ago, headonfire said: My view is that we got the most commercially sounding songs first to maximise the visibility and reach of the album across different markets and we will get the more innovative and experimental ones with the album -- which probably came down to a decision from Interscope and Maverick. I love all 4 songs released so far, and I'm sure the quality will be the same and above what we got so far. Precisely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her creativity seems to be on peak and I’m sure there will be intense discussions here about the weirdness of it all. Can’t wait for June 14! This album will be my life’s soundtrack for the entire year, I, sure. Amen!! So looking forward to June 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andra Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 54 minutes ago, side_streets said: Is Madonna Cersei Lannister or Daenerys Targaryen of pop? She is obviously not loved by some critics. They would like see her doing Vegas shows more instead of creating new music. Haha, those 2 legendary icons MAKE the show. They are the reason people watch it. Madonna is the perfect combination of BOTH of them. The Game of Pop would be NOTHING without her. p.s: I remember M is a Daenerys stan tho.

XXL Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 6 hours ago, karbatal said: Really interesting reviews. They hate to love Madonna and it shows. But in the end they give high rates and clap at the audacity and experimental side "while others send jazz standards" From her early days of moderate singing, writing and dancing ability .... Same old shite ... They should really do their research better or perhaps quit downright lying on purpose. You don't get selected by University of Michigan, Alvin Ailey and Martha Graham's inner circle if you don't possess talent Just review the album in question and tell us whether you liked it or not and why, preferably without adding all the usual unwarranted projections and back handed trite garbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip The Switch Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 6 hours ago, Crozzauk said: I did appreciate the "lick their wounds and deliver a jazz standards album to radio 2" line though. Gaga? Kylie? These reviews do all have a strange tone - begrudgingly admitting the album is good. It definitely sounds like it is full of some indulgent moments, and some lyrics that are on the weaker side, but at least they are her words and she is trying to say something that is ultimately positive. Who else in pop music is doing that at the age of 60. Who has ever done that in pop music at the age of 60? The white saviour line is a bit unfair i think, but i can imagine how the casual listener does perceive her like that, given some of the things she says and does, and particularly given how vacuous everyone in the pop market is nowadays. Especially those quoted from Killers Who Are Partying. Reminds me of the poem she read in IGTTYAS. I’m sure it will blend better with the music.

Shane Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I’m intrigued by the fact that so many reviews are focusing on the lyrics of Killers Who Are Partying, but we still have no clue what style of music the song features, tempo, pace, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Madonna’s message in this is obviously about how we are all ONE and that unless we all come together and end suffering, there won’t be peace on earth. But these dumb reviewers don’t get it, not even a tiny bit, as they misread the lyrics and try to shade M for such “outrageous” writing. How dare she put Islam and Israel together in the same context!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Future feat Quavo Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Full of shit or not, Pitchfork might be the most respected (weighted) publication on Metacritic and 5.5-5.9/10 being generous is pretty disappointing.

david86 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I've been reading reviews since Music (since internet was evrywhere). They hardly ever come close to my own listening experience. I guess I keep reading them because its the anticipation that is part of the fun. I much prefer a proper interview though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samo Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 The Telegraph took the time to mention that she hasn't had a top 10 hit in the UK since 2009, when they review fellow legend's Bruce Springsteen's new Album, I'm SURE they'll take the time to mention that he hasn't had a top 10 hit in the UK since 1994, that's how it works right????
