I don’t have anything against her, so I guess good for her. But, I’ve only heard Lucky and it was.. meh. That alone should keep people from giving it 5 stars (and more). This is kinda weird.

Lucky within the context of the entire album makes a lot more sense and fleshes it out more.

I would suggest listening to the album as a whole before casting it aside because you didn’t enjoy one single.

I’m not saying that the song wasn’t good lyrically. I just thought her singing wasn’t great and it felt.. off. I understood it was a homage to Britney, it was about Halsey’s struggles, etc. I teared up watching the video.

It just wasn’t a sold song. So, I personally find it weird that the album can get an off the chart score when even one song out of the many isn’t perfect. Does that make sense? I’m confused by the reviewers, not by Halsey.

It does not make sense. Because you have admitted you haven’t listened to the entire album and are judging it PURELY from “Lucky.”

The strength (or lack their of) in her voice on track 16 out of 18 is deliberate. It feeds into the entire album and the fact that for the past two years she’s been fighting for her life.

Your argument doesn’t really hold water and will not until you actually listen to the entire thing instead of wondering what others could possibly have gotten from this because you turned your nose up over ONE song.

Oh my god, you’re so combative for no reason. I wouldn’t expect Halsey herself to come at me like this over my confusion of the reviews. Jfc. Anyway, enjoy her album!

I understand what you mean "How can the album get 5 stars when one of the main songs is not it"

It's because sometimes an album works as a whole and not as the sum of its tracks.
This album (though not to my taste) is very cohesive and has a good progression so as a whole it works.
But if we were to rate the songs individually it might not

believing an album is undeserving of praise based on the one of 18 tracks you heard from it is also kinda weird
