Her average career score on Metacritic is 66, so please, stop.
And? you and we all know that BTD metacritic score isnt fair, and it was in the 60s mainly because she got backlash for her "fake persona" and her SNL performance.
Because her music is great, and she has a unique style.
Her average career score on Metacritic is 66, so please, stop.
Metacritic takes the opinions of ~30 critics per album whereas acclaimedmusic takes hundreds of year end, decade end and all time lists. So please, stop.

kinda creating a flimsy definition for when critics do and don't count here

What he meant is:Metacritic is about initial response and year end lists is about longetivity(not everybody has that). That's why Born to Die made so many year-end lists
