BEYONCÉ had more reviews

Prism, Bangerz and Unapologetic got Grammy nods

I'm just wondering because I'm currently blasting the masterpiece Sexx Dream and I'm wondering how can anyone call this a bad album

who said Prism and Bangerz are better than ARTPOP tho. They're all equally mediocre

Because she is Lady Gaga.

And so what? Ultraviolence got 35 critics (5 more than ARTPOP) and still got 13 points more.

If ARTPOP got less reviews, it could've been lower. Of course it's important to have a large amount of reviews to get a legitimate feel for how the critics feel about an album. But if an album has only a few reviews, it could go either way: either really positive or really mixed. So the theory that "less reviews = higher score" isn't really true... like at all.

Ok, so you have already made it through Jewels & Drugs then?

That one person's opinion.

My opinion is that ARTPOP is crap compared to Gaga's previous work. I will certainly check out her next album, but I doubt she'll make anything as great as The Fame Monster and Born This Way again.

I know that's why I did not mention it in the OP

GRAMMYs don't mean anything according to Katy's fans and ATRL think TNC is a bad album yet it got GRAMMY nods.

Literally.

That's why I'm using the critics to back my opinion that it's not as bad as everyone think it is when it's just like her peers album critically speaking, rihanna stan.

61 is a good score anyway.

UV's score is not like the ones mentioned in the OP, and you don't get what I'm saying.

ATRL called ARTPOP a bad album when it has the same score as other albums.

Unapologetic won a grammy, Prism was nominated (?), girl bye.

That's your opinion, but critically speaking the albums mentioned are not better than ARTPOP, again critically speaking.

yes they are because they won grammies . Also the fact that it got more reviews does not relate to the average, the average can be skewed up or down, it makes no sense
