at least RS is an 80 the score goes up to 74

Billboard will probably score it high so thats another 80+

Yas at these reviews

what about time magazine?

yeah, TIME was pretty positive.

Doesn't count for Metacritic

NYT and Time are counted, right? They just have to get numbers assigned to them?

lol I was wondering. gosh, Metacritic is such a ****ing mess.

I am pretty sure metacritic weighs certain publications over others, so you can't exactly find a completely accurate metascore by simply calculating the average.

Well, so far so good, lets hope it stays this way. As long as it stays in the 70's I'm fine.

Yeah they both count. Metacritic will give them the scores they felt they deserved based on the article's overall attitude.

Those NY Times and Guardian articles are exceptionally well written.

Good the NYDN article is terrible

Reviews are looking good so far.

Oh, great then!

How come multiple reviews mention Greg Kurstin being among the album's producers when we have no tea indicating his involvement?

Because the tea we received back when the album was first put on iTunes only revealed the writers of each track. We were correct in assuming that they also doubled as the producers on their tracks, but that didn't mean they were the only producers. For example, Max Martin does vocal work on OOTW, and Noel Zancanella coproduced WTNY.

Isn't he credited for "additional production"? If so then he won't be credited as the main producer I think?

I'm so livid rn
