ALBUM REVIEW: Taylor Swift strikes ‘Midnights’ on her return to pop

8/10

 

meanwhile, they gave folklore a 7/10  

 

I called this yesterday here, she's literally at a point in her career where she would put out a fart and critics would still love it. Thank you folklore for this ongoing imperial phase, I guess.

 

or maybe people with zero musical taste in this thread were too soon to **** all over this masterpiece and are now gonna look like fools?

I'm on the fence about the double album theory. I think the trailer will be telling, especially if there's 2 different aesthetics.

 

But the fact that NFL presenters are on TikTok saying it's a double album is extremely sus

why would NFL presenters be announcing the surprise that’s supposed to come at 3AM tho?

4 hours

it's very fitting that Bejeweled is the hidden gem of the album tbh

I fear something has happened that has made Question...? a really difficult listen for me. Does anyone else think the background pulses are not on the same beat as the singing?

I don't know the right vocabulary but I'm pretty sure it uses a kind of unusual rhythm. The beat is subdivided into two parts, but not symmetrically. There is a pause in one of the subdivisions, then two quick beats with the second one matching the slower beat.

Karma is giving Halsey, she sounds so much like her in the verses

[touch]

I find it strange the presenters would know about a double album…? I’m not buying it this time, idk

Some of you were acting like this is the worst album Taylor Swift ever recorded, when it's decent. I honestly think Midnights is better than Reputation, but I actually thought Reputation was not a well-produced album. I do think Lover is better than this album, but I didn't think it was godawful like everyone else did. The first half of Lover IS better than the second half, but the second half isn't unlistenable. 

 

Yes, this isn't folklore/evermore Taylor, but it would've been silly to expect a commercial artist like Taylor to continue that sound. It also would've been boring. The reason why Taylor is so successful is because she constantly changes her sound. Do Fearless/Red (Taylor's Version), Lover, Reputation, and folklore sound anything like each other? Not really. 

 

That being said, this year has been extremely hit-or-miss for pop. Renaissance, Caprisongs, Dawn FM, and Dance Fever are all great. Then you have the lackluster The Loneliest Time, Midnights, CRASH, Hold the Girl, Fossora, and Mata.

sure!

[Casually Cruel]

First listen of the day my top 3 are still Maroon, Labyrinth and Lavender Haze although YOYOK very close behind

I don't think anything will change that at this point

hope is a dangerous thing for an atrl user like me to have—but i have it

just because the critics are gonna ride her dick doesn't make this mediocre album any less mediocre.

[VeniceBeach]

I think it's time for all of us to move on

Btw when her next album is coming?

[Magickarp]

Can I make a Midnights Trinity Poll thread in Base? Or do i have to wait till the official release? I already have it written up, but idk if i can post it yet.

[applestar]
