Macromad Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 How in the world is doing Fado and Samba music "chasing trends"? I've never heard Ariana Grande or Dua Lipa making that kind of music. Fuck Uncut!

Short lived but in ink!

I've never heard Ariana Grande or Dua Lipa making that kind of music. Fuck Uncut! They probably had an idea of what kind of review they were going to write before they even heard the album. Pitchfork and Uncut are jokes. Bunch of white dudes who hate powerful women and get half-mast boners for Taylor Swift (who incidentally makes some of the worst music known to man)

alexis Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 what are the scores that should still enter the metacritic?

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.
tycole6 Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 Maybe AV Club will be good as well since they just did that great little retrospective playlist for her.
Shane Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 And for those who care about reviews not counted for Meta, she is likely to get positive from People and USA Weekly.
alexis Posted June 14, 2019 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
Jairo Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 Go on Twitter. Europeans are LOVING the album!! #MadameX

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.

HolidayGuy Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 How is that average 73, when the average of the numbers is actually a bit lower than that? Unless some are weighted differently.

yououghttavogue Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 my heart dropped. I really wanted a high 70s metacritic score.
OhFather Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 Not a review, but a nice interview for NPR: https://www.npr.org/2019/06/13/731760369/madonna-introduces-madame-x-honesty-is-a-commodity-right-now

I really wanted a high 70s metacritic score. this isn't going to be a crowd-pleasing album and it wasn't meant to be. so she's going to get a mix of scores but we should be looking at how many high scores she gets. i bet there will be more than her last three albums. and as long as her overall score remains green (which it will), that's all that matters.
rocknrolla Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 Well her last three were greens, in the 60s. I always think of that as a bad score, a D, but it means generally favorable. The problem with these reviews is that the best scores, at least those counted for Metacritic, were only 80s. Where even her last three albums had good reviews with higher scores than that.
Shane Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 The reviews for All Music, Attitude, and Mojo are very likely to be good. If she can get a good one from either Consequence of Sound or The AV Club and possibly the Chicago Tribune, I can see her ending up with a mid to high 70s score which is very good indeed!

MX already has five 80's and one 90, so i think it will end up higher than those two and probably hard candy. confessions has an overall 80 so that will be hard to beat.
Candyperfumeboy Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 The fact that American Life has a 60 is a pretty good representation of how accurate these reviews/critics are.. just sayin
