I still think 70 is possible. Although a final score of 65-68 wouldn't be so bad either given the recent lashings.

Listening to it in full for the fifth time now. And to think I only listened to ARTPOP in full once.

But the real question is did you buy it?

Well.. to put it in perspective, Barbra Streisand, probably the biggest music and film legend in the western world's latest album has a metascore of only 55. This seems pretty good to me in comparison.

Just reading this

There's a difference, Barbra's album is full of HER greatest hits sang by her with a partner, and that is,how you'd say it, kind of ''tiring'' and a cliche, while Gaga and Tony doing an album of standards (songs Gaga has never recorded before) is something ''new''

70 is good, right? How does it fare in comparison to his and her last albums?

Idk, Tony sang a lot of these on his own before. The albums seem comparable

ARTPOP got 61, Duets 2 got 72.

Gaga getting that front page Metacritic promo.

Let's hope she stays in front of alt-J (and Kenny Chesney) on the BB200, too.

The beginnings of album eras are always so stressful for stans.

Why don't they just add Chicago Tribune's review already We need that one with the AllMusic one going up soon too. Did anyone email them about it yet?

The Daily Beast review is written by an actual jazz critic. Will it be included on MC?

No, as other people have mentioned, but that really is a great read!

For those who like the album but never got into jazz before, it also offers some solid jazz artists to check out

I can't stand reading this thread tbh. It just takes away from enjoying the album. It's a lot better than I thought it would be.

All music does not count for Metacritic.

Just because of the beginning of C2C(song) the album deserves 78-80 tbh
