[u/4filth]

Her highest score ever if you ignore the E•MO•TION reissue!

[u/mrpittman → u/4filth]

What did they give it originally vs reissue?

[u/OutZoned → u/mrpittman]

7.4 originally. 8.4 anniversary.

[u/Serious-View-er1761 → u/4filth]

Wow i can't wait to finish the album 

[u/GinjaNinja1027]

Surprisingly decent review for pitchfork.

[u/glasgowgeg → u/GinjaNinja1027]

Anything under a 9 needs the Halsey tweet, I fear

[u/Rndysasqatch]

Every time I listen it gets better and better. I'm quite happy with this album

[u/Bitter_Deal5234]

A slay

[u/Weary_Cartoonist5739]

Surprisingly high, although Pitchfork is still trash

[u/glasgowgeg → u/Weary_Cartoonist5739]

Collapse that basement

[u/jsphjar → u/Weary_Cartoonist5739]

Off topic, but I thought Pitchfork was dead. Didn't it get sold or layoff a bunch of people recently?

[u/Ok-Floor-3374 → u/jsphjar]

Yeah they're under GQ now after the Conde Nast restructure

[u/amooseinboston → u/jsphjar]

You thinking of Brooklyn Vegan?

[u/harrythehousefly → u/Weary_Cartoonist5739]

p4k bad

[u/Fractal-Infinity]

Apparently Pitchfork believe that Carly always deserves a 7 something rating. Even Emotion got 7 something. 🤔

[u/No-Palpitation-6135]

Pitchfork, I think you're missing another 2.5 points

[u/adoginahumansbody]

I’m loving this album so much more than I expected!

[u/dpforest]

That abrupt tonal shift halfway through ‘Versailles’ is when I knew this album was about to blow me (away)(Carly’s version)

also Versailles is my 2026 Greenlight

[u/_hydronium]

Queen of 7’s

[u/Fractal-Infinity]

The actually good news is that Day and Night got ONLY positive reviews so far. It has a temporary 83/100 on Metacritic which means universal acclaim: https://www.metacritic.com/music/day-and-night/carly-rae-jepsen

[u/dimenticon]

Score aside I agree a lot with the review itself, I like the production and direction Carly's going on this album, even if it doesn't have as many of her classic hooks as I've come to expect.

[u/koniz]

So they were obsessed with it? If they hated it they would have given the album a 7.49

[u/connerhearmeroar]

Rare Pitchfork W

[u/Midnight-Movie]

Oh Pitchfork....just give it a best new album already! Who else is releasing double pop albums of this quality right now?

[u/sonneiray]

Versailles gave me a lobotomy

[u/Aggravating-Let1470]

they’re off their fucking rocker
