May 28, 20205 yr Author https://www.metacritic.com/music/chromatica/lady-gaga The official Metacritic page for Chromatica is finally up!
May 28, 20205 yr I’m not surprised by ARTPOP having the worst score, it definitely doesn’t seem like the album that was made for critics and more for fans
May 28, 20205 yr Yeah the metacritic scores are about where I'd place them in terms of critical appeal tbh. There's also A STAR IS BORN [ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK] 78
May 29, 20205 yr CLASH gives 8/10!! "Across its sixteen tracks, ‘Chromatica’ is entirely over-the-top, but in the best possible way. Every song is an anthem of defiance and empowerment, turned up to 11 and genetically engineered for maximum danceability." https://www.clashmusic.com/reviews/lady-gaga-chromatica
May 29, 20205 yr I have a good feeling that Chromatica could provide her with her best Metacritic score to date, but we'll see! I'll be amazed if this gets a mixed or negative response from some critics.
May 29, 20205 yr Evening Standard gives 4/5 stars! https://www.standard.co.uk/go/london/music/...m-a4454006.html Edited May 29, 20205 yr by SKOB
May 29, 20205 yr I see a Metacritic score of somewhere between 79-84 for this, although it deserves a solid 95
May 29, 20205 yr musicOMH gave it 4 stars: https://www.musicomh.com/reviews/albums/lady-gaga-chromatica The AV Club gave it a B: https://music.avclub.com/lady-gaga-returns-...nels-1843743622 These 2 and Clash count for Metacritic! :cheer:
May 29, 20205 yr 4 stars from The Independent: https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertai...n-a9538591.html Also counts for Metacritic, not Future Nostalgia or Fiona Apple levels of praise but doing well so far :wub:
May 29, 20205 yr That AV Club review is something else :lol: I mean how one can do it THAT WRONG and still give a good score is beyond me.
May 29, 20205 yr The Guardian have given it 4 stars: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/may/...ande-elton-john "The ludicrous Elton John collaboration Sine From Above – which, with its panpipe-inflected beat and unstoppable euphoric rush, would win Eurovision on any given year – digs deeper into this simple idea that music can soothe even the most damaged soul. Sour Candy, a collaboration with K-pop girl band Blackpink, falls disappointingly flat: aiming for the sweaty throb of deep house, it ends up sounding like a dashed off, cheaply produced interlude. "
