The writer really gets the point and he reviews the music without talking about how appropriate she is now or not. Love the little comparison to David Bowie in terms of the experimental side of the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antoniotorres Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 One thing is certain Madonna is back!

Pitchfork and Uncut are jokes.

I have no way of knowing, but I think it’s a safe bet that Mojo, All Music, Attitude, and PopMatters will be good. If she can get one great one out of NYT, Chicago Tribune, and Boston Globe and not get overly bad from Consequence and AV Club then she should maintain mid to high seventies score. Pitchfork will probably be a not great score unless they surprise us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexis Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Is not Madonna sponsoring something from Pitchfork? They have a moral obligation to give a very good rating to her. I very much hope that Madame X is between 75 and 80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making a review of two albums comparing them? What even? Madame X should have its own review. Two completely different artists, with two differently styles. 1 hour ago, fandonna said: metacritic now 73 suck. uncut counts. la times will make it worse. Uncut have Bruce Springsteen album as their header on twitter, so of course they would score Madonna low. Payola wouldn't be too surprising in this case.
