pinkbowvintage Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Well damn, after doing this quickly and not thinking too hard (except trying to choose the 11s), I was a little surprised at how my discography ranking ultimately panned out. A little different than I originally thought if we go based on numbers (really thought Speak Now would be higher and kinda shocked at how much I love Fearless), but here we are: 1. evermore (avg 9.25) 2. folklore (avg 9.20) 3. Fearless (Taylor’s Version) (avg 8.76) 4. Midnights (avg 8.6) 5. Red (Taylor’s Version) (avg 8.5) 6. Reputation (avg 8.16) 7. 1989 (avg 8.06) 8. Speak Now (avg 7.5) 9. Lover (avg 7.47) 10. Taylor Swift (avg 7.35) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indie Go Mind Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I wanna join this but damn does she already have a massive discography. Well I was able to clear Madonna and Mariah's, I can certainly clear this too since I've already listened to most of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacklovesyou1 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) Apart from a few standouts i really don't understand the hype of Speak Now, people act like it's her best and honestly it's not at all.

ithinkheknowsoutsold Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 My average rating of the Taylor Swift albums: Debut: 6.7 Fearless: 7.5 Speak Now: 8.7 Red: 8.5 1989: 8.0 Reputation: 7.8 Lover: 7.4 Folklore: 7.9 Evermore: 7.6 Midnights: 7.3 A lot of Taylor's albums have high highs, but the consistency is often compromised. This is especially the case with Debut and Lover, with the former having great singles but middling album cuts while the latter has great non-singles but the actual singles themselves range from decent to career worst. The opposite is the case with Folklore and Evermore, with the highs not being much higher than the rest of the tracks and the albums being very consistent overall. Midnights goes back to the original pattern. Speak Now wins overall because it ties both aspects together, with it having fantastic highs like Enchanted, Long Live, Speak Now, Back To December, The Story of Us, and Ours, and very consistent quality overall. Red could've beaten it thanks to the strong new additions from the 2021 re-release, but I find that the inclusion of the 10 minute version of All Too Well as the album's centerpiece serves to ruin the cohesion of an already incohesive and varied record, and ultimately pulls it down a peg for me. 1989 could've also beaten but the truth is that I absolutely can not stand the singles on the album outside Bad Blood due to how religiously I used to listen to them earlier. Reputation has gone up considerably in my rankings, and I now see it as Taylor's most experimental record, even if the experimentation was largely relegated to the world of mainstream pop. While not every song hits, I can definitely appreciate Taylor trying to do something with both the sonics and aesthetics of the album and her image during the era, and overall I find that on the 15 track album there are maybe 2 tracks I genuinely don't enjoy.

TaylenaStan Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) The way this is gonna take forever since i wanna listen to her whole discography for this Am listening to Speak Now and maybe Red today () so far: Mixtape: 5.1 average Fearless: 6.15 average might adjust the scores a bit depending on how the overall averages turn out Also for Taylor's versions tracks im voting based on the versions i prefer (for example WANEGOD TV is not it obviously but i love the original) Edited January 17, 2023 by TaylenaStan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
