The review is for the album and by itself it is a medium review, kind of what would fit with a 3-star critique. Certainly is not all bad. But the juxta-position to NR does make it painful. And obviously, until I hear either album, I cannot speak to it, but based on the first singles of both, a tad surprising. The reviewer did like 'Ghost Town'. Even calls it excellent. But, clearly she does not like the lyrics on various tracks, and most of her critique focuses on that. The whole review is only one paragraph long. First addresses the change in direction, mentions radio-friendly deep house, and then the lyrics. What lyrics or songs specifically. Does she say? |

Not happy with RS magazine right now. Last issue (Grateful Dead text across cover) had the article about Adam's change in direction, and that article was fine. This issue (Girls Gone Wild on the cover) has the album review. Three star, text kind of alright, a bit condescending, especially critical about the lyrics, which Brittany Spanos seems to find ridiculous. But what really bugs me: Right next to it, a much larger article about Nate Ruess' album, 3 1/2 stars, with everything written that should be written for Adam (vocals, vocals, vocals, many Queen and Freddie references, and a really nice review by Jon Dolan).... p 58 and 59, for those with print magazine. Now, trying to figure out how to find this online. Anyhow, sorry for being the bearer of not so great news....but obviously, this magazine has a real and substantial circulation. Only consolation that can be said. RS magazine also dissed Queen for years and years, and ....we know how that went. So this is the print edition? Yeah, the one coming this week. Not online yet. Do they ever have different reviews online? |

I don't know whether it's just me that feels this way but I dont think its that big of a deal. 3 is not a bad review especially for RS, and it doesn't have significant impact on sales anyway |

Would some one who has the article, take a photo of the page and post it. Or transcribe the text accurately here so everyone does not panic over nothing. THX!

It would be nice if there was general acclamation (including RS), but I don't think the review is "bad" at all. The reviewer acknowledges his Queen frontman status, and the end says, "he's one of the biggest personalities in pop." She criticizes a few lyrics, but says he sings them "with conviction." Yeah, it's a 3, but IMHO, RS just doesn't want to drink the Max Martin kool-aid. You have to admit "haterade" in Rumors, is a bit of a stretch.
eta: I'll type it out.
