A 60 is only one star out of five higher than a 40, and the album has attracted quite a few 60s, so it's not surprising at all that there is a lower review. And yes, I think it is a fair review and that the album deserves around 2 to 3 stars. And that is coming from someone who has enjoyed much of Gaga's work up to that point and a BIG jazz fan. I just get tired of the Monsters and their histrionics and much of this is a result of all of the premature "Acclaim to Acclaim" posts backfiring. The album really isn't much more than your standard, mildly pleasant covers album and that is being reflected in the reviews.

I've enjoyed most of her work prior to this and I'm also a huge fan of jazz music but this album is amazing and it doesn't deserve a 40, in any way. I'm glad to know most critics agree with me. Plus an average score of 70(and above) is good enough for Acclaim to Acclaim

There have been some more reviews but none eligible for Meta.

I think they are done with the album tho.

Then leave?

No one is forcing you to be around the monsters or post around them. A lot of them are genuinely excited about the album, and WERE excited to see where this would land on metacritic. People will express their dislike for certain critics reviews and you will simply disagree with it like we disagree with you.

it's really not that hard to understand.

I was genuinely excited for the album and I enjoy following releases and critic reviews.

Again, it's the attacking of critics and delusional excuses made here that are frustrating for more neutral viewers of this thread.

I think I'm wasting my breath on this lot, though. If anyone deserves to see their fave fall from glory as hard as Gags has and continues to do, it's the Monsters.

So unfair tbh.

Anyways, as long as it stays 70 or above, I'm content.

So we're delusional now

THIS its exactly why you can't see Gaga getting this much acclaim
You hate her and you're not even trying to hide your hate for her

"This much acclaim."

I actually really like Gaga and her music, too.

Her fans are just something else.

Glad to see ACCLAIM to ACCLAIM getting an average score of 72 despite of the inclusion of that unprofessional Slant review. Slay Queen of Pop

It has an average score of 72 which is pretty impressive, IMO so...

Of course you like her and her music. Your love for her is pretty evident in your posts

That mess of a review? It reads like an 80, scores a 58?

longjohn9898

How is the entertainment weekly review a B+ but only an 83 on metacritic? Last time I checked a B+ was at least an 87

Mariano

as long as it stays above 70

longjohn9898

Also the Consequence of Sound review reads like an A. There's virtually nothing negative said about the album in the entire piece yet she assigns a C+?

Stanning aside, this lack of scoring/number conversion skills is just absurd.

Are we going below a 70?

I mean, it isn't even that serious.

God forbid we hold these people accountable to their words and actually analyze the content of their reviews. If I read something, of course I'm going to have an opinion about it and express it. And these writers have not been attacked either, some fans just asked them some questions and to clarify their scores because there have been actual misunderstandings (like Billboard, for example).

It's funny that people are hanging on to Metacritic to justify the quality of the album lol see, it's an jazz album and she worked with an legend, maybe it's not a masterpiece but it's obviously not bad, the acclaim she needs is on the work itself.
