Some publications have higher weighting than others.

Metacritic calculates scores with a formula that gives more weight to certain publications.

The raw average of the 18 listed is 88.6.

Definitey won't drop below 90 which is amazing.

Love how her last three albums haven't gotten great reviews

AllMusic is always unexpected when it comes to reviews.

I don't get how it's 3.5/5 but worded like its at least a 4.

Also why mention this, "Another distinguishing factor is the length of credits which, due to a vast assortment of collaborators and samples, exceeds that of the self-titled album." It's not said shadily, but it came almost directly after mentioning the Isaac Hayes sample which was like 3 seconds of the actual song but which listed the people involved in the original song as part of the final credits.

AllMusic gave ST a 90. This is quite the disappointment from them. The review reads like it's at least a 4 though, but whatever. They obviously want to drag the MC score down.

[Bey Admired]

I predict it finishes at 89-90.

Critics have a hard time coordinating their words with the score they end up giving I see.

At least 70 is her lowest score, though AllMusic holds the most weight on Metacritic

I'm telling you, they just want to lower the MC score. The review reads nothing like a 3.5.

[OnMyCoolJ]

the same all music that initially shaded B'day and then came back to give it a 5/5??
