It's a good album. And also the highest rated album by a popgirl in years.
Does it deserve to be the most acclaimed album or is there an album that should have ranked higher?
I love the album, but I think the "Visual album" tag/surprise release really helped it's Metascore. If she did a traditional release, I honestly think the album would've gotten a Metascore of 70-74 at the highest
And that's why it's still getting praised and making mid-year and century lists? You would think the surprise element would have worn off by now. It's been 7 months.
