This too, but at least Metacritic's reviews come from many sources I guess. Idk...a lot of critics review more than the actual music, it's the whole context behind the artist what's being judged.
Yeah. It's always quite obvious which artists carry a certain stigma that clouds a few critics' judgements, or which artists critics are expected to like.
Unapologetic debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 238,000 copies, becoming Rihanna's first number one album on the chart and best-selling debut week of her career.
Has your fave had a debut higher than 238K in US?
Keyshia Cole - Just Like You: 281,000
Ciara - The Evolution: 338,000
Jonas Brothers - A Little Bit Longer: 525,000
i am serious. My wall is open for anyone that would to become like me and start appreciating good music like Sylvan Esso. I am so glad I don't listen to the musical equivalent of Mcdonald's.
First week sales prove how big your fanbase is and Rihanna's fanbase is non-existent after 7 albums (i think this is a record)
No, the only way to pander to the critics is basically to make anything but pop music and yeah i do agree katy doesn't need to please anyone, so glad she was never a slave like rihanna
Katy's end is so much close because she's 30 years old and still makes generic childish songs, people might have fallen for it during PRISM but they won't now.
Fridge n Magnets is my fave nickname btw
