"Numbers can’t measure the chaos she brings": Fans react to Pitchfork scoring Cardi B's 'Am I The Drama' a 6.6

Cardi B released her second studio album, Am I The Drama?, last week after a seven-year hiatus from her first album. The reason behind the long gap is that Cardi was focusing on motherhood, raising her three children: Kulture Ciari Cephus, Wave Set Cephus, and Blossom Belle.

The album consists of 23 songs and an additional bonus track. Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, collaborated with a few artists on some of her tracks. These include Megan Thee Stallion, Tyla, Janet Jackson, Cash Cobain, Lourdiz, Lizzo, Kehlani, Summer Walker, and Selena Gomez.

Almost a week after its release, critics have poured in their thoughts. Metacritic gave Am I The Drama? a 78 out of 100. AnyDecentMusic? scored Cardi B's second studio album a 7.1 out of 10. While Rolling Stone described Cardi's album as:

"massive comeback triumph... fittingly grand return for a queen who never left the throne."

On the other hand, Pitchfork gave Am I The Drama? a 6.6, and fans are not really happy with the score. Keep reading to know what they have to say about it.
