ugo Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 Oh I can definitely feel like she's still mad asf at Camilla
touchofmyhand Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 Alright, I listened to the album. All I will say is I’m gonna cleanse my ears with a listen of Speak Now (SV) before moving on to the vault tracks. Back to December, Never Grow Up, Innocent, Better Than Revenge, Ours and Superman were all pretty good but not substantially better than the originals, unlike everything on Fearless TV. At the same time, I thought the other songs were completely butchered with bland and flat production. Nothing about Enchanted sound enchanting, and nothing about Haunted sounds haunting. It sounds like she’s singing over some instrumental she found on Youtube. She has some good vocals moments (except for Enchanted TV) but the mixing kind of ruins it by default. 2 2

Klein Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 Never Grow Up really is the biggest glow up of the album. Truly the least expected thing that could happen (other than Innocent somehow becoming good).

Could NEVER be me
Velvet Night Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) First impressions on the re-recordings: The vocals are really crisp and beautiful and the production is great imo. But ngl I can tell the differences in all of the songs. She’s missing the emotion in her voice, which ultimately gives the original version that punch that the re-recorded version is missing. This is the most apparent for me with the new version of Haunted, it’s not hitting as hard as the original. Thoughts on the vault tracks: Electric Touch - definitely transports me back to the pop rock of the late '00s. Emo teenage me would have been obsessed with the song. Their voices work so well together. This is a bop, I love it! When Emma Falls in Love - This is a sweet little song. It sounds like an early 2000s romcom song. The ending verse made me smile so much! I Can See You - I love that opening guitar riff, this is my favourite just based on that alone. I love how funky it is! The bass is so gooood. I need her to turn this song into a whole album RIGHT NOW! Castle Crumbling - this song is just really beautiful. Her voice works so well with Hayley’s and the lyrics are a gut punch. I can see why it was kept in the vault, it feels so personal and vulnerable. Foolish One - I like these lyrics, but it feels like the weakest vault track lyrically and sonically. But I love the outro, it is sung so beautifully. Timeless - This is such a stunning way to end the album. It's so full of hope and love and it just makes me so happy. I can see this as a wedding or proposal song. Edited July 7, 2023 by Velvet Night
Brooklyn Baby Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 Many of the people in my Swiftie gcs don't like Sparks Fly (TV). I feel like I'm the only one. DOES ANYONE HERE LOVE IT?
PoisonedIvy Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 Wait, I'm checking out the lyric vids before bed Timeless has photos and videos of Marjorie and her grandpa, how cute
Dear Reader Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 i’m VERY unwell after listening to Timeless. No one talk to me 3
ATRL Administrator Ryan Posted July 7, 2023 ATRL Administrator Posted July 7, 2023 Hold on and make it last Hold on, never turn back (Hold on) You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter (Hold on) You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Peroxide Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 Overall - I’m happy Regarding the original tracklist, it’s a bit of a mixed bag… Vastly Improved: Mine Dear John Innocent Haunted Last Kiss (she NAILED this one) Long Live Good enough: Back To December Enchanted (Chorus is great… verses let it down) Better Than Revenge Didn’t capture the same magic: Sparks Fly Mean The Story Of Us Never Grow Up
Great Username Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 When you think the chorus is winding down but then She delivers another "So even in a different life you still would've been mine we would've been tiiiimeless" oh it's cocaine 1

She showed a picture of her grandparents at the end and in the back her grandmother had written “Why did you leave so soon, Dear? I don’t know if I’ll be able to handle it”. And she keeps the picture in her wall 1
ATRL Administrator Ryan Posted July 7, 2023 ATRL Administrator Posted July 7, 2023 The truth some of you Enchanted (SV) akgae’s won’t admit is Enchanted (TV) is vocally and productionally superior and that’s just the way it is. 6
Dear Reader Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 I woke up at 4:30am to listen to this and I just got to the office. Don’t know how I’ll be able to concentrate after listening to Timeless. It might be one of my favorite tracks from her… 1

Great Username Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 Last Kiss doesn't work either. The vocal can't be replicated. The production is not as crisp. Nathan Chapman and the Lord are undefeated. 3 1
Peroxide Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 Ours and Superman seem fine… but I was never big on the originals. I suppose Superman sounds a bit better… Regarding the Vault songs, I kinda wish she just swallowed her pride and added songs which she had co-writers for… (see Drama Queen). Timeless is beautiful, When Emma Falls In Love works too… but the rest? Yeah, I can see why these were left on the cutting room floor.
