Should definitely be higher.
It's aoty.
Although I agree that p4k shouldn't be taken seriously, I hope you at least listened to the album yourself and formed your own opinion before making this thread. That is all. Have a nice day.

Also reminder
it deserves higher, and a BNM tag
not even joking, ariana is top tier

Shut the fuck up, there's no justification for liking mainstream pop other than "I don't care about music"

>SHUT DA FUCK UPPP POP MUSIC IS BAD REEEEEE
be quiet
Ariana Grande fans genuinely can't understand what's inherently bad about corporate, formulaic, artificial pop music.
I take Pitchfork very seriously, as a black studies/gender studies dual major I find their reviews great.
Arianna fucked her way into a career in TV/music.
>>65162928
Compared to My Everything, it's trash. Songs are disjointed attempts to appeal to different target auditories, and feel like they've been written for different artists. It feels like Katy Perry album, except without Katy Perry.
The great vocal layering: barely present. Actually cool modern beats/production: gone. Amazing melodies like "Intro" and "Love Me Harder": substituted with standard forgettable radio pop.
>Taking musical ratings that aren't yours to heart
Wow it's like people have different opinions on music
Who fucking cares. Like it? Okay. Don't like it? Move on.
>>65163009
The problem with P4k's rating system is that it serves to create sensation. Their ratings are tokens to promote ideology, granting an 8.3+ to selectively promote certain musical trends rather than sincerely upholding the individual reviewer's personal tastes.
>>65163328
Wow it's like people have different things they care about.
Who fucking cares what OP cares about. Agree? Okay. Don't agree? Ignore thread.
>>65163259
why is it wrong for a website that was founded on promoting dominantly white indie music to start recognizing blacks and other races?
>>65162862
Welcome to the grande machine
>>65163177
he's right though. if you start to take mainstream pop seriously for one second, you're a moron with atrocious taste.

How are you going to help in the fight?
How will evil whitey learn to love nigs?
>>65163259
The late 2000s were not a good time for rap music.
>>65162862
My track-by-track review:
1. Unmemorable. Doesn't compare to "Intro" from "My Everything". 3/10 at best
2. Only slightly better. Good luck with this as a lead single. 5/10
3. When are the bangers gonna start anyway? 2/10
4. Into You—OK radio song, 7/10, best tune on the album. The production is very average though
5. Dude reggae lmao!!! Disgusting, but catchy. 4/10
6. Gah, filler again, Unnecessary rapper cameo: check. 2/10
7. Obligatory '80s synthpop throwback. OK but still lacks the superb hooks. 6/10
8. Actually memorable melody. But it doesn't fit the album very well at all. 5/10
9. Finally great production and vocal layering. Perhaps my favorite track on the album. Why couldn't they make a whole record like this? 7/10
10. Nothing good ever comes from acoustic guitar in pop songs. Boring melody, production saves it though. 5/10
11. The title captures my feelings about this song. 2/10
So, overall verdict: really, really bland. The tunes are average at best, sound like jams at worst. Dull production, too little of the killer layering from her previous songs. Doesn't compare to My Everything—this is uninspired, disjointed and forgettable. Did they pay Max Martin in pennies or something? This evokes the worst of Jennifer Lopez. 4/10
>>65163353
Exactly! I agree 100%, only /pol/tards and Drumpth kids think there's anything wrong with that list. As a person of colour I love it.
>>65163398
I attend local BLM protests and stand in arms with my brothers in color. (I'm Muslim/Asian mix but I still am black allinged)
>>65163410
Fucking this. Rap last year was actually pretty fucking spectacular by industry standards.
>>65163375
I don't take mainstream pop seriously though, but that isn't a prerequisite for liking it or thinking that the music is good.
>>65163417
You're trying too hard. There's an imaginary "/s" on the end of all your sentences.

>>65163495
definitely ironic. stop giving the baby attention. he's just mad that trump will be his new president
>>65163516
ok i can tell you're ironic now and taking the piss
still though i agree with the message, too bad you're co-opting it :(
>>65163534
Trump has 0 shot of winning. The majority of the country are normal functioning progressive minded good people. Trump appeals to rednecks and racists and fedoras.
>>65163538
I'm not being ironic. It's gotten to the point that pro-black messages are so mocked here they are seen as ironic. Whatever.
>>65163416
Why don't you write the fucking track names down
>>65163310
My Everything was worse, that was the Katy Perry album without Katy Perry. Totally incohesive; the Intro to Problem is one of the most jarring transitions even for pop. Not to mention Break Free and Hands on Me fit absolutely nowhere on the album and the album tracks are complete filler. Dangerous Woman is at least a little more cohesive and there isn't as much filler

>>65163416
Awful review
The fact that you like Everyday and think My Rushening says enough
>>65163602
I don't know. Subjectively, to me it's the other way round.
My Everything remains one of my favorite modern pop records. I waited for Dangerous Woman and didn't care what anyone said because I expected it to be as good. Unluckily, it was a total disappointment for me—it turned out basically unlistenable.
>>65163664
How's your double nigger rights/privilege checking major going? Think about job beforehand, go to your local McDonalds to build ties now

>>65163664
Trump is favored over Clinton because Feel the Bern kids aren't voting and some are actually so mad that Clinton got the nom that they're voting Republican. Don't believe me then check some of the recent numbers
personally I'll probably vote Trump because the only remaining candidates are crooks but Trumo has a higher chance of being impeached
>>65163664
>I'm not afraid to be hated on for my beliefs
You're on a board for music though
Get over yourself. Like the other anon said, this is most definitely ironic

i DISAGREE, ok?
>>65163782
Fear Fun is complete trash. 5/10
>>65163516
I'm laughing at you because your knowledge is useless. You've spent your hard earned money and years of your life on unmarketable skills no one needs.
Moreover, you think your moral elevates you above everyone else. You're not proud to be black, you're proud to blame white people. If you knew any better, you'd get a normal major like the rest of people, got a job and actually helped changed the problem.
But no, you chose to stay a bigoted racist like most blacks, blame white people and refuse to work. All you will do is feel entitled to other's money. You're not the solution, you're a part of the problem
>>65163830
it's not complete trash, and even if it were a 5/10 rating wouldn't apply to complete trash
oh you're joking
>>65163588
Too much time
>>65163615
I know but they are only for murica
>>65163353
Because it's unfairly disproportionate, you retard.
I am extremely hard pressed to believe that those reviews would be remotely similar if those artists were white.
>>65163830
It might suck but it's not worse than an Ariana Grande album by any stretch of the imagination.
>>65163353

if dubs everyone above this post dies alone
At some point pitchfork realized that pandering solely to white indie kids wasn't enough ($$$) and they had to reach new audiences -- MBDTF 10/10 happened. Poptimism happened. The culmination of this project was the acquisition by Conde Nast. Pitchfork is no different from NME, Rolling Stones or Billboard, it has no edge at all.
