It was really not hard, 12 vs 6. And Midnights still has the excellent Dear Reader and the absolute masterpiece Would've Could've Should've.

Maroon vs Cruel Summer.....damn that's tough cause i love both.

Karma vs London Boy......we laughed at that. London Boy is one of her worst songs ever right next to LWYMMD.

it’s kinda too soon to have a definitive thought on Midnights honestly. But I feel it’s more cohesive than Lover. Lover just has more standout replay value songs as of right now. They are about even but Lover edges it out in the long run.
