stevo208 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 What a poorly conceived review. Not great writing. Also, he praises it lots yet gives it a score of 3 out of 5? Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disintegration Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Not a glowing review, but also one where I think a score above 3/5 would match the description. I don’t think ‘some of the songs are weird’ is necessarily bad. I think it’s possible to have that reaction to some of the songs on Music and that’s one of my favourite M albums. Plus, the songs released so far in my opinion do get a lot better with repeat listens (esp Medellin and Future). We will see. Still loads of other reviews to come. Imo with the songs released so far it seems obvious that this will be much better than MDNA (and didn't RS give that 3.5?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitch I'm Christian Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I've always taken 3-star ratings from RS to mean that fans of the artist will find lots to enjoy, but the album wont necessarily be a classic or a breakthrough hit album. As a fan of Madonna, all I care about is that I will enjoy it... and it sounds like I will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanAnth4 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Ah This explains everything, Gaga got her fan to write the new Madonna album review but hey RS gave her worst album HC the highest score , says it all really .

miki Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) i think he is proud that the album is bizarrely weird. but maybe he rated it a 3/5 cause he needed time to digest it. Edited May 30, 2019 by miki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miki Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 but i care less how they rate her albums. i read the reviews to get a glimpse of what she has in store for me. and whenever i read a negative reaction to her songs i automatically decide i'd like it. that is how my brain is wired, fortunately for me.

miki Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) this is how he reviewed the album. weird, taking risks, admirably bizarre, for fans of her loca edge, mysterious new accent in some, and plays down the accent and gets lost in emotion in another track a vocodor singing the nut cracker, you have to endure her pondering political oppression before reaching her strongest songs, can trigger that 'worried about madonna' feeling, proud that she is still being willing to act up like this, never lets us down in a very different way, time will tell if mx will have staying power, if you love madonna for her shamelessness - bitch she's loca. I LOVE MADAME X BECAUSE OF ALL THE ABOVE REASONS. Edited May 30, 2019 by miki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
